This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
This patch from Philip Lowman creates a REALPATH mode in the
get_filename_component command. It is like ABSOLUTE, but will also
resolve symlinks (which ABSOLUTE once did but was broken long ago).
See issue #8423.
The patch used to fix this bug used SystemTools::GetRealPath which works
only for existing files. It broke the case of using the command
get_filename_component for a non-existing file. Also, it changed
long-standing behavior in a possibly incompatible way even for existing
files. This reverts the original fix and instead updates the
documentation to be consistent with the behavior.
- Fixed CollapseFullPath to work on relative paths with base paths
not in the current working directory.
- INCLUDE command now supports relative paths (using above fix).
- Added ABSOLUTE option to GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT command to
unwind symlinks and relative paths.
- Fixed libName_EXPORTS macro definition to be valid C identifier.
- Added DEFINE_SYMBOL target propterty for customizing the export symbol.
- Implemented LINK_FLAGS target propterty for libraries in VC6 and VC7.
Several of these fixes were contributed by Gareth Jones.
