* Downgraded macOS CI to Qt 6.2.0 due to a bug in Qt Test module
* Revised cmake build scripts
* For now, only building via cmake is supported
PR #17338.
Although the detection is working, the error message in autotools is not
perfect, i.e. it would only mention valid range for libtorrent v1 and it
shouldn't be a problem since v2 support isn't fully ready yet.
- Bump minimum required version and
make use of more modern language features
- Rely more on target_...() commands to establish dependency
relationships between targets rather than directory property commands
- Improve libtorrent package discovery
- Enable and handle application features more explicitly
- Improve user-facing output
- Fix various compilation issues on Windows (MSVC and MinGW) and macOS
- Improve handling of translations
- Add explanatory comments where relevant
- Make CMake scripts fully independent of qmake files/details
- Remove old functions/macros
When the CMake system was last revamped, the configure variable was
changed from WEBUI to DISABLE_WEBUI, but we are still checking
against WEBUI. This behavior was changed in fa770871e9
Qt translations have to be compiled in a shared library or executable,
and since we use static libraries for the components, webui translation
files have to be compiled into the main executable.
1. Use FeatureSummary module to show configuration results.
2. Invert option()/find_package() relationship: instead of
calling find_package(... REQUIRED) when option is set, rely on optional
find package call and PackageName_FOUND variable.
3. Refactor handling options that result in simple preprocessor defines
(actually copy the snippet from libtorrent) so that everything is done
in a single function call.
4. Populate target properties in order to get rid of
include_directories() calls.
Enable backtrace stuff only if GNU C library used, because current
backtrace implementation based on <execinfo.h> , which is not a
part of standard C library, it is a GNU extension.
This will be usefull when building with custom POSIX-compilant C
library (like musl) and no <execinfo.h> available.
Note: configure script will detect presence of <execinfo.h> and
enable/disable feature depending on it.
Feature is enabled by default.
Qt resource is innitialized by a static object constructor (see
https://wiki.qt.io/QtResources). When we put resources into a static
library, the linker removes that static objects and thus the resources
themselves. To correct that we append resources to the main executable
sources list. This is done via custom function qbt_target_sources which
knows where to read the executable' name.
