 The granular version-specific locations ensure we don't
 get modules left over from a different version.  This has
 caused problems in the past that are very hard to track
 down remotely.

If dealing with a user perhaps. Developers shouldn't have that problem.

 This shouldn't be much of a problem for
 anyone except developers.

Then how about a compromise of major.minor.patch ?

 IMO one shouldn't be overwriting an existing install tree
 with a new CMake without removing the original anyway, but
 this approach gives us protection from it.  Managing
 replace-able installations is the job of a package manager.
 If you're doing it by hand IMO you're on you're own.
 
 FYI, I keep my test install tree below my build directory
 and wipe it out before the next install:
 
  rm -rf $whatever_you_call_the_prefix
  make install

That doesn't work for me because my qtbase prefix is where I install qtbase 
dev branch and other Qt repos (also dev branch), cmake (master, a topic or 
whatever version I need to test the Qt cmake files with), some KDE stuff and 
some KDAB stuff.

I have another prefix for qtbase stable branch testing/work, another for Qt 
4.8 etc.

Clearing one of those prefixes completely just to remove micro-versioned 
cmake installations is not practical, and I don't want to add another 
dimension to my prefix system just for cmake installations.

Thanks,

Steve.

 For 'broken' things like cxx_initializer_lists and cxx_variadic_templates, I 
 recommend that we enable the feature if the compiler vendor says it is 
 available. 

Yes, I think that makes sense.  The problem with trying to report
broken ourselves is that only the project knows if the feature
is too broken for it.  Developers using these bleeding-edge
language features are used to conditional workarounds in their
code anyway.

 Can you choose an interface for blocking it?

It needs to be something that both

* Modules/Platform/UnixPaths.cmake:
  CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH

* Modules/Platform/WindowsPaths.cmake:
  CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH
  CMAKE_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_PATH

will see and that the user can set at the command line without
modifying the project.  Therefore we should just test a variable
that users can add to their local cache or that projects can
set before the first language gets enabled (before enable_language
or project).

Other find behavior is controlled by CMAKE_FIND_* settings, so
how about -DCMAKE_FIND_NO_INSTALL_PREFIX=1?

[cmake-developers] [CMake 0014512]: cmp0022 does not warn

2013-10-25 Thread Mantis Bug Tracker

The following issue has been SUBMITTED. 
== 
http://cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=14512 
== 
Reported By:Clinton Stimpson
Assigned To:
== 
Project:CMake
Issue ID:   14512
Category:   CMake
Reproducibility:always
Severity:   minor
Priority:   normal
Status: new
== 
Date Submitted: 2013-10-25 11:35 EDT
Last Modified:  2013-10-25 11:35 EDT
== 
Summary:cmp0022 does not warn
Description: 
Using cmake 2.8.12 does not give a warning if the target property
LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES is used with export().

Steps to Reproduce: 

touch foo.cpp
touch bar.cpp

use the following for CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

add_library(foo SHARED foo.cpp)
add_library(bar SHARED bar.cpp)

target_link_libraries(bar foo)
set_target_properties(bar PROPERTIES LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES )
export(TARGETS bar foo FILE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/bar-export.cmake)


run cmake 2.8.12 on that, and there is no warning which is incorrect.

Change to
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.12)
and there is an error, which is correct.

 Also when you run the compiler you need to capture all stdout/stderr
 so that it never leaks through to the user-visible cmake configuration
 output.  The RunCMake.* tests that failed last night were mostly due
 to compilers writing to stderr even when nothing is wrong and therefore
 messing with the expected output matching.
 
 Should be all fixed now.

Your patch did:

+RESULT_VARIABLE _result
+OUTPUT_VARIABLE _output

but RESULT_VARIABLE is for the return code or administrative
error message.  You also need

  ERROR_VARIABLE _error

to get stderr.  Without this the tests still failed last night.

I have a directory full of different versions of cmake next to each other, 
prefix/cmake-2.4.5/ ... prefix/cmake-2.8.12/, and next to it 
prefix/cmake-HEAD/, so they are always cleanly separated and can be deleted 
without problems.
Just for cmake you don't need to set any prefixes, just calling the one I need 
with the full path has always worked for me.
