Protect our `$0` reference in the shell as `"$0"`. Otherwise it works with a space in the path only due to an insecure Windows feature. Prior to this fix, any installer using the option added by commit v2.8.9~234^2 (Added CPACK_NSIS_ENABLE_UNINSTALL_BEFORE_INSTALL, 2011-06-11) exposes a local privilege escalation vulnerability.

|
|
|
|
Changes made since CMake 3.5 include the following.
|
|
|
|
New Features
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Generators
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
* The :generator:`Ninja` generator learned to produce phony targets
|
|
of the form ``sub/dir/all`` to drive the build of a subdirectory.
|
|
This is equivalent to ``cd sub/dir; make all`` with
|
|
:ref:`Makefile Generators`.
|
|
|
|
* The :generator:`Ninja` generator now includes system header files in build
|
|
dependencies to ensure correct re-builds when system packages are updated.
|
|
|
|
* The :generator:`Visual Studio 14 2015` generator learned to support the
|
|
Clang/C2 toolsets, e.g. with the ``-T v140_clang_3_7`` option.
|
|
This feature is experimental.
|
|
|
|
Commands
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
* The :command:`add_custom_command` and :command:`add_custom_target` commands
|
|
learned how to use the :prop_tgt:`CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR` executable
|
|
target property.
|
|
|
|
* The :command:`install` command learned a new ``EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL`` option
|
|
to leave installation rules out of the default installation.
|
|
|
|
* The :command:`list` command gained a ``FILTER`` sub-command to filter
|
|
list elements by regular expression.
|
|
|
|
* The :command:`string(TIMESTAMP)` and :command:`file(TIMESTAMP)`
|
|
commands gained support for the ``%s`` placeholder. This is
|
|
the number of seconds since the UNIX Epoch.
|
|
|
|
Variables
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* A :variable:`CMAKE_DEPENDS_IN_PROJECT_ONLY` variable was introduced
|
|
to tell :ref:`Makefile Generators` to limit dependency scanning only
|
|
to files in the project source and build trees.
|
|
|
|
* A new :variable:`CMAKE_HOST_SOLARIS` variable was introduced to
|
|
indicate when CMake is running on an Oracle Solaris host.
|
|
|
|
* A :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` variable was
|
|
added for use by toolchain files to specify system include directories
|
|
to be appended to all compiler command lines.
|
|
|
|
* The :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_STANDARD_LIBRARIES` variable is now documented.
|
|
It is intended for use by toolchain files to specify system libraries to be
|
|
added to all linker command lines.
|
|
|
|
* A :variable:`CMAKE_NINJA_OUTPUT_PATH_PREFIX` variable was introduced
|
|
to tell the :generator:`Ninja` generator to configure the generated
|
|
``build.ninja`` file for use as a ``subninja``.
|
|
|
|
* A :variable:`CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_PLATFORM_VARIABLES` variable was
|
|
added for use by toolchain files to specify platform-specific
|
|
variables that must be propagated by the :command:`try_compile`
|
|
command into test projects.
|
|
|
|
* A :variable:`CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE` variable was added
|
|
to optionally tell the :command:`try_compile` command to build
|
|
a static library instead of an executable. This is useful for
|
|
cross-compiling toolchains that cannot link binaries without
|
|
custom flags or scripts.
|
|
|
|
Properties
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
* A :prop_tgt:`DEPLOYMENT_REMOTE_DIRECTORY` target property was introduced
|
|
to tell the :generator:`Visual Studio 9 2008` and
|
|
:generator:`Visual Studio 8 2005` generators to generate the "remote
|
|
directory" for WinCE project deployment and debugger settings.
|
|
|
|
* A :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY` target property and supporting
|
|
:variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY` variable were introduced to tell the
|
|
:ref:`Makefile Generators` and the :generator:`Ninja` generator to run
|
|
``clang-tidy`` along with the compiler for ``C`` and ``CXX`` languages.
|
|
|
|
* A :prop_test:`TIMEOUT_AFTER_MATCH` test property was introduced to
|
|
optionally tell CTest to enforce a secondary timeout after matching
|
|
certain output from a test.
|
|
|
|
* A :prop_tgt:`VS_CONFIGURATION_TYPE` target property was introduced
|
|
to specify a custom project file type for :ref:`Visual Studio Generators`
|
|
supporting VS 2010 and above.
|
|
|
|
* A :prop_dir:`VS_STARTUP_PROJECT` directory property was introduced
|
|
to specify for :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` the default startup
|
|
project for generated solutions (``.sln`` files).
|
|
|
|
Modules
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`CMakePushCheckState` module now pushes/pops/resets the variable
|
|
``CMAKE_EXTRA_INCLUDE_FILE`` used in :module:`CheckTypeSize`.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`ExternalProject` module leared the ``GIT_SHALLOW 1``
|
|
option to perform a shallow clone of a Git repository.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`ExternalProject` module learned to initialize Git submodules
|
|
recursively and also to initialize new submodules on updates. Use the
|
|
``GIT_SUBMODULES`` option to restrict which submodules are initalized and
|
|
updated.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`ExternalProject` module leared the ``DOWNLOAD_NO_EXTRACT 1``
|
|
argument to skip extracting the file that is downloaded (e.g., for
|
|
self-extracting shell installers or ``.msi`` files).
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`ExternalProject` module now uses ``TLS_VERIFY`` when fetching
|
|
from git repositories.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`FindBLAS` and :module:`FindLAPACK` modules learned to
|
|
support `OpenBLAS <http://www.openblas.net>`__.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`FindCUDA` module learned to find the ``cublas_device`` library.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`FindGTest` module ``gtest_add_tests`` function now causes
|
|
CMake to automatically re-run when test sources change so that they
|
|
can be re-scanned.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`FindLTTngUST` module was introduced to find the LTTng-UST
|
|
library.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`FindPkgConfig` module learned to optionally create imported
|
|
targets for the libraries it has found.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`FindProtobuf` module learned to provide a ``Protobuf_VERSION``
|
|
variable and check the version number requested in a :command:`find_package`
|
|
call.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`InstallRequiredSystemLibraries` module learned a new
|
|
``CMAKE_INSTALL_UCRT_LIBRARIES`` option to enable app-local deployment
|
|
of the Windows Universal CRT libraries with Visual Studio 2015.
|
|
|
|
Platforms
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* The Clang compiler is now supported on CYGWIN.
|
|
|
|
* Support was added for the Bruce C Compiler with compiler id ``Bruce``.
|
|
|
|
CTest
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
* The :command:`ctest_update` command now looks at the
|
|
:variable:`CTEST_GIT_INIT_SUBMODULES` variable to determine whether
|
|
submodules should be updated or not before updating.
|
|
|
|
* The :command:`ctest_update` command will now synchronize submodules on an
|
|
update. Updates which add submodules or change a submodule's URL will now be
|
|
pulled properly.
|
|
|
|
CPack
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to handle ``$ORIGIN``
|
|
in ``CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH`` when :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_SHLIBDEPS`
|
|
is used for dependency auto detection.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to generate ``DEBIAN/shlibs``
|
|
contorl file when package contains shared libraries.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to generate ``DEBIAN/postinst`` and
|
|
``DEBIAN/postrm`` files if the package installs libraries in
|
|
ldconfig-controlled locations (e.g. ``/lib/``, ``/usr/lib/``).
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to generate dependencies between
|
|
Debian packages if multi-component setup is used and
|
|
:variable:`CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_DEPENDS` variables are set.
|
|
For backward compatibility this feature is disabled by default.
|
|
See :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_ENABLE_COMPONENT_DEPENDS`.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to set custom package file names
|
|
including how to generate properly-named Debian packages::
|
|
|
|
<PackageName>_<VersionNumber>-<DebianRevisionNumber>_<DebianArchitecture>.deb
|
|
|
|
For backward compatibility this feature is disabled by default. See
|
|
:variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_FILE_NAME` and
|
|
:variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_FILE_NAME`.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to set the package release number
|
|
(``DebianRevisionNumber`` in package file name when used in combination with
|
|
``DEB-DEFAULT`` value set by :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_FILE_NAME`). See
|
|
:variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_RELEASE`.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to set the package architecture
|
|
per-component. See :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_ARCHITECTURE`.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`CPackDMG` module learned a new option to tell the CPack
|
|
``DragNDrop`` generaor to skip the ``/Applications`` symlink.
|
|
See the :variable:`CPACK_DMG_DISABLE_APPLICATIONS_SYMLINK` variable.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`CPackIFW` module gained a new
|
|
:command:`cpack_ifw_update_repository` command to update a QtIFW-specific
|
|
repository from a remote repository.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned how to set RPM ``dist`` tag as part of
|
|
RPM ``Release:`` tag when enabled (mandatory on some Linux distributions for
|
|
e.g. on Fedora).
|
|
See :variable:`CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_RELEASE_DIST`.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned how to set default values for owning
|
|
user/group and file/directory permissions of package content.
|
|
See :variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEFAULT_USER`, :variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEFAULT_GROUP`,
|
|
:variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEFAULT_FILE_PERMISSIONS`,
|
|
:variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEFAULT_DIR_PERMISSIONS` and their per component
|
|
counterparts.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned how to set user defined package file
|
|
names, how to specify that rpmbuild should decide on file name format as
|
|
well as handling of multiple rpm packages generated by a single user defined
|
|
spec file.
|
|
See :variable:`CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_NAME` and
|
|
:variable:`CPACK_RPM_<component>_PACKAGE_NAME`.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned how to correctly handle symlinks
|
|
that are pointing outside generated packages.
|
|
|
|
Other
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
* The :manual:`Compile Features <cmake-compile-features(7)>` functionality
|
|
is now aware of features supported by Intel C++ compilers versions 12.1
|
|
through 16.0 on UNIX platforms.
|
|
|
|
Deprecated and Removed Features
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`CMakeForceCompiler` module and its macros are now deprecated.
|
|
See module documentation for an explanation.
|
|
|
|
* The :command:`find_library`, :command:`find_path`, and :command:`find_file`
|
|
commands no longer search in installation prefixes derived from the ``PATH``
|
|
environment variable on non-Windows platforms. This behavior was added in
|
|
CMake 3.3 to support Windows hosts but has proven problematic on UNIX hosts.
|
|
Users that keep some ``<prefix>/bin`` directories in the ``PATH`` just for
|
|
their tools do not necessarily want any supporting ``<prefix>/lib``
|
|
directories searched. One may set the ``CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH`` environment
|
|
variable with a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of prefixes that are
|
|
to be searched.
|
|
|
|
* The :generator:`Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003` generator is now
|
|
deprecated and will be removed in a future version of CMake.
|
|
|
|
* The :generator:`Visual Studio 7` generator (for VS .NET 2002) has been
|
|
removed. It had been deprecated since CMake 3.3.
|
|
|
|
* The :generator:`Visual Studio 6` generator has been removed.
|
|
It had been deprecated since CMake 3.3.
|
|
|
|
Other Changes
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
* The precompiled OS X binary provided on ``cmake.org`` now requires
|
|
OS X 10.7 or newer.
|
|
|
|
* On Linux and FreeBSD platforms, when building CMake itself from source and
|
|
not using a system-provided libcurl, OpenSSL is now used by default if it is
|
|
found on the system. This enables SSL/TLS support for commands supporting
|
|
network communication via ``https``, such as :command:`file(DOWNLOAD)`,
|
|
:command:`file(UPLOAD)`, and :command:`ctest_submit`.
|
|
|
|
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``--build`` command-line tool now rejects multiple
|
|
``--target`` options with an error instead of silently ignoring all but the
|
|
last one.
|
|
|
|
* :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` now diagnoses name collisions when multiple source
|
|
files in different directories use ``#include <moc_foo.cpp>`` with the
|
|
same name (because the generated ``moc_foo.cpp`` files would collide).
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`FindBISON` module ``BISON_TARGET`` macro now supports
|
|
special characters by passing the ``VERBATIM`` option to internal
|
|
:command:`add_custom_command` calls. This may break clients that
|
|
added escaping manually to work around the bug.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`FindFLEX` module ``FLEX_TARGET`` macro now supports
|
|
special characters by passing the ``VERBATIM`` option to internal
|
|
:command:`add_custom_command` calls. This may break clients that
|
|
added escaping manually to work around the bug.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`FindProtobuf` module input and output variables were all renamed
|
|
from ``PROTOBUF_`` to ``Protobuf_`` for consistency with other find modules.
|
|
Input variables of the old case will be honored if provided, and output
|
|
variables of the old case are always provided.
|
|
|
|
* The :module:`CPackRPM` module now supports upper cased component
|
|
names in per component CPackRPM specific variables.
|
|
E.g. component named ``foo`` now expects component specific
|
|
variable to be ``CPACK_RPM_FOO_PACKAGE_NAME`` while before
|
|
it expected ``CPACK_RPM_foo_PACKAGE_NAME``.
|
|
Upper cased component name part in variables is compatible
|
|
with convention used for other CPack variables.
|
|
For back compatibility old format of variables is still valid
|
|
and preferred if both versions of variable are set, but the
|
|
preferred future use is upper cased component names in variables.
|
|
New variables that will be added to CPackRPM in later versions
|
|
will only support upper cased component variable format.
|
|
|
|
* The CPack NSIS generator's configuration file template was fixed to
|
|
quote the path to the uninstaller tool used by the
|
|
:variable:`CPACK_NSIS_ENABLE_UNINSTALL_BEFORE_INSTALL` option.
|
|
This avoids depending on an insecure Windows feature to run an
|
|
uninstaller tool with a space in the path.
|
