app-utils now is an ordinery shared library
A few bits worth mentioning:
1. it's not guile-free just yet, so instead of a gnc_module_load
your code may have to call scm_c_use_module("gnucash app-utils");
to expose the scm side of the app-utils api. This call has been
added to gnucash-bin.c for example
2. while lots of noise in this commit is to rename from gncmodule-app-utils
to gnc-app-utils, I'll point out the library has also been moved from
<libdir>/gnucash to <libdir>. This required changes in app-util's
CMakeLists.txt file for the install side and in the top level
CMakeLists.txt file for the build directory structure.
3. The C side link module test has been removed as linking an ordinary
shared library should be considered well tested by the compiler devs.
The scheme side module load test has been slightly tweaked to no longer
try to use gnc:module-load, but instead now checks whether the app-utils
api is properly exposed to scheme after loading it via use-modules.
4. Dropped a completely obsolete README file.
This commit tries to do the minimum necessary to move the guile bits from engine
to bindings/guile. As engine is a very central piece in the software, this unfortunately
still touches many other source files:
- A few helper objects have been squashed together:
* engine-helpers-guile.[ch] (of which the c part is extracted from engine-helpers.c)
* gncBusGuile.[ch]
* gnc-hooks-scm.[ch]
- The initialization function of gncmod-engine no longer initializes the scm bits.
Any scm code that wants to interact with the engine code now has to load
the (gnucash engine) scm module, or sometimes (gnucash business-core).
The bulk of changes in this commit actually is updating all the scm consumers to do so.
- scm-scm target has been removed. Instead (gnucash utilities) is part
of scm-engine. A few dependency graphs have been updated for this.
More refinements will be in followup commits.
That should trigger a regeneration of these swig sources if
any of the header files change.
This is done via a small macro that can be reused for other wrappers as well.
Note
cmake 3.15 introduces a 'FILTER' generator expression
that might allow us to do something like the following:
$<FILTER:$<TARGET_PROPERTY:baselib,SOURCES>,INCLUDE,"*.h[pp]?$">
I toyed briefly with that idea but it currently has two issues:
1. 3.15 is newer than our current minimum cmake requirement, so we can't
depend in that feature yet.
2. the sources are relative to *their* source directory, which
is different from the one in which the wrappers are generated
So they should still be properly transformed into absolute paths
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.
Initialisation of some business objects has been done with
datetime.date.today() and it is also mentioned as a possibility
in the source doc. So leave it possible.
