CMake Required Features and Migration Epic

Forewords

Roughly this epic is about CMake upstream contributions we need done, getting stuff into the extra-cmake-modules (e-c-m) project and the tooling around that to allow our developers to build the whole lot.

Definition of Done

Backlog

Status Description Contact
DONE Upstream automoc into cmake. Done since 2.8.6. Alex Neundorf
DONE Extend FeatureSummary.cmake to make MacroLogFeature.cmake unnecessary. Done since 2.8.6. Alex Neundorf
DONE Merge MacroOptionalFindPackage.cmake in CMake. find_package() has been extended with 2.8.6 so that this is not necessary anymore. Alex Neundorf
DONE Create project extra-cmake-modules for distributing additional Find-modules Alex Neundorf
DONE Sync our Find-modules from kdelibs/cmake/modules/ with the ones in CMake. Done with CMake 2.8.7 Alex Neundorf
DONE Merge our export-header stuff into cmake. Done with CMake 2.8.6 Stephen Kelly
IN PROGRESS Merge or make unnecessary a whole bunch of macros from kdelibs/cmake/modules/. Mostly done. Details see KDE_Core/Platform_11/Buildsystem/FindFilesSurvey Alex Neundorf, Stephen Kelly
DONE Design and implement mechanism to make extra-cmake-modules flexible usable, also for non-KDE-projects. This is now done via the macro ecm_use_find_modules(). Alex Neundorf
IN PROGRESS Make superbuilds robust and usable. This will make building all the small git repositories easier. See https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/superbuild Alex Neundorf
IN PROGRESS Come to a decision how to deal with pkg-config under Windows (and OSX ?). Input needed, especially from Windows and OSX developers. Alex Neundorf
TO DO Review the Find-modules in kdelibs (over 100), and find out which ones are

currently needed in the frameworks branch. Here is an overview over the current state: http://community.kde.org/KDE_Core/Platform_11/Buildsystem/FindFilesSurvey

DONE Figure out how to define the default library install dir, taking Debian multiarch into account. See GNUInstallDirs.cmake in cmake master, which will become 2.8.8. Alex Neundorf
TO DO

Figure out how to deal with the install dirs in general:

  • use GNUInstallDirs.cmake coming with cmake ?
  • keep the support for "if I install to the same prefix as kdelibs (...what

is kdelibs then ?), I want the same set of install dir",

?? <{{{3}}}>
TO DO improve the example in kdeexamples/buildsystem/HowToInstallALibrary/, so it

can serve as reference

?? <{{{3}}}>
TO DO somebody has to do the actual porting. Back in the KDE3->KDE4 days Laurent Montel did most of this work. Here is a (hopefully) complete list of changes:

TO DO

Figure out what to do with all the macros and settings currently in FindKDE4Internal.cmake and KDE4Macros.cmake.

TO DO

It would be nice if we could get Windows and OSX developers more actively involved with KF5.
