The default OS X 10.4 linker incorrectly searches for dependencies of
linked shared libraries only under the -isysroot location. It fails to
find dependencies of linked shared libraries in cases such as the
ExportImport test. It produces errors like:
/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ld: warning can't open dynamic library:
libtestLib3Imp.dylib
referenced from: /.../ExportImport/Root/lib/libtestLib3lib.1.2.dylib
(checking for undefined symbols may be affected) (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ld: Undefined symbols: _testLib3Imp
referenced from libtestLib3lib expected to be defined in
libtestLib3Imp.dylib
or with CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH off to enable install_name in the Export side:
/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ld: warning can't open dynamic library:
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/.../ExportImport/Export/impl/libtestLib3Imp.dylib
referenced from: /.../ExportImport/Export/libtestLib3lib.1.2.dylib
(checking for undefined symbols may be affected) (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ld: Undefined symbols:_testLib3Imp
referenced from libtestLib3lib expected to be defined in
/.../ExportImport/Export/impl/libtestLib3Imp.dylib
Note how "/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk" is prepended to the dependent
library path.
Commit 2cff26fa (Support linking to shared libs with dependent libs,
2008-01-31) and commit 82fcaebe (Pass dependent library search path to
linker on some platforms, 2008-02-01) worked around the problem by
defining platform variable CMAKE_LINK_DEPENDENT_LIBRARY_FILES. It tells
CMake to link to dependent libraries explicitly by their path thus
telling the linker where to find them.
Unfortunately the workaround had the side effect of linking dependent
libraries and defeats most benefits of LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES.
Fortunately OS X 10.5 and above do not need to find transitive
dependencies at all so we can avoid the workaround on Modern OS X.
The Mac linker defines -headerpad_max_install_names and the GCC
front-end passes this flag through. The PGI compiler does not know
about this flag, so we must use -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names to pass
it to the linker instead.
Include this prefix in CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH so that it will be used
for all find* commands. Previously only find_library and find_path
would look under /opt/local/lib and /opt/local/include, respectively.
Default to "" for CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET if CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT is set. Also, add new error message to detect the case where there is a deployment target, but no SDK has been set. Fix args to STRING REGEX call so that it works even if _sdk_path variable is empty inside sanity check function.
Several platform-wide linker flag variables are defined in
Modules/Platform/<os>.cmake files for C and then copied by the
Modules/CMake<lang>Information.cmake file for each language.
We now use this approach for the variables
CMAKE_EXE_EXPORTS_${lang}_FLAG
CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SONAME_${lang}_FLAG
CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_CREATE_${lang}_FLAGS
to avoid duplication for multiple languages in each platform file.
Previously we checked for this flag by parsing the version number of GCC
out of 'gcc --version', but this is not reliable because the format can
vary greatly. Now we run 'gcc -v --help' and look for '-isysroot' in
the list of options.
We also now store the result on a per-language basis in the per-compiler
info file "CMake<LANG>Compiler.cmake". This is necessary to make it
accessible from try-compile projects so that they generate correctly.
We used to suppress generation of -I/usr/include (and on OSX also
-I/usr/local/include). This behavior seems to cause more trouble than
it's worth, so I'm removing it until someone encounters the original
problem it fixed. See issue #8598.
Some OS X linkers want a 'dylib_' prefix on the -compatiblity_version
and -current_version flags while others do not. This passes the flags
through gcc instead since it never wants the prefix and translates the
flags for the linker correctly.
- ld flags -dylib_compatibility_version and -dylib_current_version
are libtool flags -compatibility_version and -current_version
- OSX 10.3 does not like the dylib_ prefixes.
- Fixes repeated rebuild of bundles by Makefile generators
- Add special rules to copy sources to their
MACOSX_PACKAGE_LOCATION bundle directory
- Remove MacOSX_Content language hack
- Remove EXTRA_CONTENT property
- Remove MACOSX_CONTENT
- Remove corresponding special cases in object names
- Move runtime path ordering out of cmComputeLinkInformation
into its own class cmOrderRuntimeDirectories.
- Create an instance of cmOrderRuntimeDirectories for runtime
path ordering and another instance for dependent library
path ordering.
- Replace CMAKE_DEPENDENT_SHARED_LIBRARY_MODE with explicit
CMAKE_LINK_DEPENDENT_LIBRARY_FILES boolean.
- Create CMAKE_LINK_DEPENDENT_LIBRARY_DIRS boolean.
- Create variables to specify -rpath-link flags:
CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_RPATH_LINK_<LANG>_FLAG
CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_RPATH_LINK_<LANG>_FLAG
- Enable -rpath-link flag on Linux and QNX.
- Documentation and error message updates
- Split IMPORTED_LINK_LIBRARIES into two parts:
IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES
IMPORTED_LINK_DEPENDENT_LIBRARIES
- Add CMAKE_DEPENDENT_SHARED_LIBRARY_MODE to select behavior
- Set mode to LINK for Darwin (fixes universal binary problem)
- Update ExportImport test to account for changes
cmMakefile.cxx, but now in the platform files and are now valid for the
target platform, not the host platform.
New variables CMAKE_HOST_WIN32, CMAKE_HOST_UNIX, CMAKE_HOST_APPLE and
CMAKE_HOST_CYGWIN have been added in cmMakefile.cxx (...and have now to be
used in all cmake files which are executed before
CMakeSystemSpecificInformation.cmake is loaded). For compatibility the old
set is set to the new one in CMakeDetermineSystem.cmake and reset before the
system platform files are loaded, so custom language or compiler modules
which use these should still work.

Tested with various gcc, XCode, MSVC7, sdcc
For OSX when doing TRY_COMPILE() CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES is used, if there are different results an error is generated. CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES can be overwritten for the TRY_COMPILES with CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES.
