Jiri Daněk created DISPATCH-1268:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Use more modern idiomatic cmake
                 Key: DISPATCH-1268
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DISPATCH-1268
             Project: Qpid Dispatch
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Jiri Daněk


Dismissing the whole CMake modernization PR [1] is IMO too harsh. Much 
modernization is possible, even if we maintain CMake 2.8 compatibility, and 
that modernization is beneficial for overall sanity of the build code, as the 
example of Qpid Proton project shows. [2], [3]

RHEL 6.10 bundles cmake 2.8.12.2-4.el6 and RHEL 7.6 also has cmake 
{{2.8.12.2}}. Therefore, the first step would be to change minimum required 
version from {{2.6.2}} to this.

{code}
    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.12)
{code}

The indentation changes are of course harmless in any case and easy to make. I 
am not eager to bundle the whitespace change, as it is disruptive to merging 
work in progress (if git not configured to ignore whitespace).

[2] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-1878 Improve cmake modularity 
- split out library detection code
[3] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-1879 Update cmake so that it 
uses the easier to use imported target feature
