This starts by setting the gnucash version number in the 'project' call.
This will result in a number of variables set by cmake. The remainder
of this commit is to reuse the auto-generated
PROJECT_NAME, PROJECT_VERSION, PROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR
PROJECT_VERSION_MINOR, PROJECT_VERSION_PATCH and PROJECT_VERSION_TWEAK
instead of all the various instances of PACKAGE, GNUCASH_MAJOR_VERSION
and so on.
One parameter is worth mentioning - GETTEXT_PACKAGE
GnuCash is not using this directly (any more) but it has to be set before
including gi18n-lib.h.
There are more, but these are most common ones.
There are also a number of urls that don't behave well when https, so those are skipped
At some point I have also started marking non-working URLs as [DEAD LINK], though
that's not a full coverage.
This version is available for all supported platforms and distros
(CentOS can have a version via EPEL, which is required anyway)
Advantages:
- one cmake version for all platforms
- we can drop all conditions based on cmake version
The swig wrappers don't really depend on git (but rather on swig) and there can be
situations the builder wants to generate the wrappers also from a tar ball.
Several were only there because they used to be generated via autogen.sh
and hence had to be included because autogen.sh was not supposed to be run
in a tarball based build.
A few others aren't clear so I have left them in for now:
- gnucash.1 (man page)
- gnucash-design.info (because it's unclear what we want to do with that one)
These files should clearly be in the tarball:
- gnucash.pot -> for our translators
- ChangeLog -> can't be generated outside of a git repo
- gnc-vcs-info.h -> can't be generated outside of a git repo
- guile/python bindings -> to avoid a swig dependency when building from tarball
- the two dist_add_... macros now both take a list of file names
as argument so more files can be added at once to the dist tarball.
- dist_add_generated now creates the right target by itself. There's
no need to pass one any more
- make the swig generated *.py module files explicit output files
- change a couple of custom_targets into custom_commands. The only
reason they were defined as targets was to ensure they got built
before the dist tarball. This is now properly handled by the
dist_add_... macros.
- correctly handle dependency on swig-runtime.h (using OBJECT_DEPENDS
was not the way to do it according to that property's help page)
cmake with unix makefiles fails to resolve dist dependencies
added from COPY_FROM_BUILD if these dependencies aren't built yet.
This commit replaces the COPY_FROM_BUILD based logic with two new functions
'dist_add_configured' and 'dist_add_generated' to indicate which files should
be included in the dist tarball. The latter also adds a target level dependency
to the dist tarball custom command. Hence the former should
be used for files that get generated during a cmake run while the latter
should be used for files generated as the result of a 'make/ninja-build' run
(like files for which an add_custom_command rule exists).
Note: this commit also temporarily disables the dist target when building
from a tarball (and hence it won't be tested in distcheck either). This
will be handled in a future commit.
Thanks to Robert Merkel for reporting them.
* Build gnucash-design.info if makeinfo is available, but don't complain
if it isn't.
* Fail Cmake if LibXSLT and xsltproc aren't found. Those are required to
build the gschemas and GnuCash won't work without them.
* Fix the WebKit detection so that it isn't faked out into thinking it has
WebKit2Gtk-4.0 when it's WebKit2Gtk-3.0 and cmake is run with a
CMakeCache.txt present.
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.
