By embedding a minimal Info.plist with a bundle ID into the executable.
This necessitated a change to binreloc because the unix-style install
depended on there being a bundle ID only when the program was run from
an application bundle.
Update on this bug. Before doing the binreloc dance on various
paths check if the calculated dynamic prefix is still the same
as the compile time PREFIX. If so, just stick with the compile
time path names as this means the application wasn't relocated
anyway. Only if the dynamic prefix is different, try to
recalculate the requested paths relative to the dynamic
prefix.
Together with the configure time fix to detect /etc/opt is
outside of the /opt prefix, this eliminates the need for further
special case handling of the sysconfig directory so that
special case handling is removed.
Always use absolute paths for configured directories (BINDIR etc.)
Abstract out the guts of gnc_gbr_find_foo_dir for foo in lib, bin, and data.
etc requires special handling because of the way it's treated if prefix
begins with /opt.
Always fall back on the configured directory if binreloc is disabled and
no default is passed in.
Sets paths for finding componenents depending on the state of ENABLE_BINRELOC,
GNC_UNINSTALLED, GNC_BUILDDIR and whether any install paths have been set
outside of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
GNUInstallDirs changes the name of CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR depending on the
operating system and distro. When CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is /usr,
/usr/local, or any subdirectory of /opt it also changes
CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_SYSCONFDIR to /etc. An earlier commit by Aaron Laws
mirrors the name of CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR to the build library directory.
It's possible for builders to set any of the install directories
anywhere they please.
Setting any directory outside of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX breaks Binreloc so
the toplevel CMakeLists.txt now detects that and disables Binreloc.
If Binreloc is enabled then all path queries use it to find paths. This
works in the build directory because the gnucash executable and all of
the test programs are in build_directory/bin and LIBDIR, DATADIR, and
SYSCONFDIR can be found in the same root path.
If Binreloc is disabled then in order to build or run programs from the
build directory one must set GNC_UNINSTALLED and set GNC_BUILDDIR to the
absolute path of the build directory. When those are set GNC_BUILDDIR
replaces CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in all paths that are subdirectories of
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX; paths that are not in CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX are
appended whole to GNC_BUILDDIR. This process is constent between CMake
and gnc_path_get_foo. GnuCash is unlikely to run from a DESTDIR without
Binreloc.
This will avoid a ninja-build from picking up a config.h generated by the autotools build
(in the root build directory). Picking up the wrong config.h may lead to all kinds of
subtle issues if the autotools run was done with different options than the cmake run.
It is split into
- /libgnucash (for the non-gui bits)
- /gnucash (for the gui)
- /common (misc source files used by both)
- /bindings (currently only holds python bindings)
This is the first step in restructuring the code. It will need much
more fine tuning later on.
