Patrick Steinhardt d8d2f21e 2017-09-06T07:52:12 cmake: unify version check for target include directories There are two locations where we check whether CMake supports `TARGET_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`. While the first one uses `VERSION_LESS 2.8.12`, the second one uses `VERSION_GREATER 2.8.11`, which are obviously equivalent to each other. It'd still be easier to grep for specific CMake versions being required for some features if both used the same conditional mentioning the actual target version required. So this commit refactors these conditions to make them equal.
Patrick Steinhardt 1d9dd882 2017-09-05T15:06:29 cmake: distinguish libgit2 objects and sources Distinguish variables keeping track of our internal libgit2 sources and the final objects which shall be linked into the library. This will ease the transition to use object libraries for our bundled dependencies instead of linking them in.
Patrick Steinhardt a390a846 2017-07-01T13:06:00 cmake: move defines into "features.h" header In a future commit, we will split out the build instructions for our library directory and move them into a subdirectory. One of the benefits is fixing scoping issues, where e.g. defines do not leak to build targets where they do not belong to. But unfortunately, this does also pose the problem of how to propagate some defines which are required by both the library and the test suite. One way would be to create another variable keeping track of all added defines and declare it inside of the parent scope. While this is the most obvious and simplest way of going ahead, it is kind of unfortunate. The main reason to not use this is that these defines become implicit dependencies between the build targets. By simply observing a define inside of the CMakeLists.txt file, one cannot reason whether this define is only required by the current target or whether it is required by different targets, as well. Another approach would be to use an internal header file keeping track of all defines shared between targets. While configuring the library, we will set various variables and let CMake configure the file, adding or removing defines based on what has been configured. Like this, one can easily keep track of the current environment by simply inspecting the header file. Furthermore, these dependencies are becoming clear inside the CMakeLists.txt, as instead of simply adding a define, we now call e.g. `SET(GIT_THREADSAFE 1)`. Having this header file though requires us to make sure it is always included before any "#ifdef"-preprocessor checks are executed. As we have already refactored code to always include the "common.h" header file before any statement inside of a file, this becomes easy: just make sure "common.h" includes the new "features.h" header file first.
Patrick Steinhardt 35087f0e 2017-06-28T15:42:54 cmake: create separate CMakeLists.txt for tests Our CMakeLists.txt is very unwieldy in its current size, spanning more than 700 lines of code. Furthermore, it has several issues regarding scoping, where for example some defines, includes, etc. from our test suite are also applied to our normal library code. To fix this, we can separate out build instructions for our tests and move them into their own CMakeLists.txt in the "tests" directory. This reduced complexity of the root CMakeLists.txt file and fixes the issues regarding leaking build context from tests into the library.
Patrick Steinhardt 8e31cc25 2017-06-28T12:51:14 cmake: keep track of libraries and includes via lists Later on, we will move detection of required libraries, library directories as well as include directories into a separate CMakeLists.txt file inside of the source directory. Obviously, we want to avoid duplication here regarding these parameters. To prepare for the split, put the parameters into three variables LIBGIT2_LIBS, LIBGIT2_LIBDIRS and LIBGIT2_INCLUDES, tracking the required libraries, linking directory as well as include directories. These variables can later be exported into the parent scope from inside of the source build instructions, making them readily available for the other subdirectories.
