Hi, we have more or less the following groups of stuff in FindKDE4Internals.cmake, KDE4Macros.cmake and KDE4Defaults.cmake:
Settings/switches/options: * the install dirs [1] * the cmake policy settings * typical settings, like KDE4_BUILD_TESTS, KDE4_ENABLE_HTMLHANDBOOK, KDE4_ENABLE_FPIE * RPATH settings * compiler and linker flags * creating an uninstall target Macros/functions: * handling kcfg files * handling ui files * handling widget files * handling ui3 files - still necessary ? * handling documentation, docbook, manpages, ... * handling icons * handling kdeinit * kde4_add_plugin, kde4_add_unit_test, kde4_add_executable * dbus install stuff (kde4_install_auth_helper_files, kde4_install_auth_actions) Some of this stuff looks like it could be moved to a modularized lib: UI: icon handling, ui, ui3 and widget file handlung documentation: KDE4_ENABLE_HTMLHANDBOOK, handling documentation, docbook, etc. This still leaves most of the settings from the first section, and several of the macros from the second section. Especially things like kde4_add_executable() and kde4_add_plugin() don't look like they belong to some specific library. So, I'd say we still need some place where this stuff can go: * if there will be like one central very basic library this could be it. * an extra kde subdirectory in extra-cmake-modules, but that doesn't feel right * an extra package kde-frameworks-buildsystem or something like this Alex [1] I posted an email about our install dir issue to the cmake-developers list: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.cmake.devel/2595 Brad explained that GNUInstallDirs.cmake is explicitely implementing the install dirs compatible to autotools, so it is meant for projects coming from there. Since this is not what we have in KDE, we do not necessarily have to use it. So basically he also recommends to have a separate solution for KDE for this. I agree with him on this. _______________________________________________ Kde-buildsystem mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-buildsystem
