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.
