Add configuration for CMake build system

[mloskot]

The aim of this task is to add build configure for  CMake - a modern cross-platform fast build system, a meta-builder.

One of many reasons is that maintenance of the Visual C++ solutions and projects is usually a big hassle. My aim is to replace it (msvc80, msvc90 and msvc10 in trunk/build) with CMake configuration. Then users will be able to generate Visual Studio projects or other build configurations of their wish which are supported by CMake.

Requirements:

• CMake 2.6+
• One of the build toolsets supported by GEOS and also by CMake generators (i.e. GCC 4.x, Visual Studio 2003+, XCode 2.8+)

Resources:

•  CMake Documentation (read manual for CMake 2.6 or newer)
•  Really Cool CMake Features
•  CMake Language Syntax
•  CMake FAQ
• Introduction to  Using CMake GUI on Windows
•  CMake/CPack/CTest/CDash Open Source Tools to Build Test and Deploy C++ Software - video lecture

[mloskot]

Added first straps of configuration for CMake build system (r2852)

• compilation of C++ API library
• compilation of C API library

[mloskot]

Added platform.h.cmake file used by build configuration for CMake build system (r2856)

[mloskot]

Added generation of build-specific platform.h file from platform.h.cmake (r2858)

[mloskot]

Added checks of C/C++ headers and library features like 64-bit integer type (r2859)

[mloskot]

Refined detection of isnan and isfinite features (r2860)

[mloskot]

• Now CMake can generates geos_c.h (r2861).
• Removed include/geos/version.h.cmake as no longer needed - CMake can subsitute variables of Autoconf-style @VAR@ very well.

[mloskot]

Updated CMake configuration (r2862):

• CMake generates config headers in build tree.
• Added generation of geos-config script.
• Refined include directories settings.
• Added unit tests package to the configuration.
• Status: GEOS core + GEOS C library + unit tests build and run successfully.

[mloskot]

Added simplewkttester and xmltester tests to CMake configuration (r2863)

[mloskot]

Configured make install target for GEOS C++ static library archive and headers (r2865)

[mloskot]

Configured make install target for GEOS C shared library and headers (r2866)

[mloskot]

Configured make install for tools to install geos-config program on Unix platforms (r2867)

[mloskot]

Cleaned redundant include for <cmath> and <math.h> from platform.h.cmake (r2871)

[mloskot]

Example of how to build GEOS with CMake on Linux:

• Check if you have cmake program installed (I installed CMake from sources):

mloskot@dog:~/dev/geos/_svn/build$ which cmake
/usr/local/bin/cmake
mloskot@dog:~/dev/geos/_svn/build$ cmake --version
cmake version 2.8.0

• Prepare build directory

mloskot@dog:~/dev/geos/_svn/trunk$ mkdir ../build
mloskot@dog:~/dev/geos/_svn/trunk$ cd ../build/

• Configure build, optionally, with custom installation prefix

mloskot@dog:~/dev/geos/_svn/build$ cmake ../trunk -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/usr

Feedback welcome!

[mloskot]

Updated MSVC specifics (r2875):

• Added CXX flags specific to Visual C++ compiler
• Added ENABLE_MSVC_MP option to allow setting Visual C++ /MP flag that enables multi-process compilation:

  cmake ..\trunk -DENABLE_MSVC_MP=ON
  

[mloskot]

Compiler flags can not be handled using CMake list type (r2876)

[mloskot]

Fixed related ticket #318

Addd extra test for STL classes in std namespace using  TestForANSIForScope macro (r2879)

[mloskot]

Fixed use of incorrect (r2879) macro name in trunk (rr2880)

[mloskot]

• Added trunk/cmake directory for custom CMake modules (r2882)
• Added  CheckPrototypeExists.cmake module - imported from KDE/kdelibs tree (r2883)
• Tweaked detection isfinite and isnan declared as functions in C++ (r2884)

[mloskot]

Disabled GEOS_ENABLE_ASSERT option for Visual Studio builds - not supported, no sense and causes conflicts with /MD vs /MDd (r2885)

[mloskot]

• Configured shared library target for C++ API (r2887)
• Added library version information and TODO comment about SOVERSION

[mloskot]

• Hopefully, fixed  the problem about unavailable C99 features if -std=c99 is not specified for GCC 4.3.3 on Ubuntu 9.04. Thanks to Sandro for reporting and testing.
• This is inconsistent behaviour with GCC 4.4.1. Bug reported to Ubuntu 9.04:  isfinite macro defined for 4.4.1 but not for 4.3.3

[mloskot]

• Configured shared library target for C++ API (r2887)
• Added library version information and TODO comment about SOVERSION (r2887)
• GEOS C++ static library was missing from installation targets (r2888)
• Configured make test target for CMake build currently executing only geos_test (r2892)

[mloskot]

Added two new builders to GEOS Buildbot for CMake configuration testing:

•  telascience2-cmake-full
•  telascience2-cmake-quick

[mloskot]

• Based on Sandro's  request, configured make check target for CMake as alias to make test to mimic GNU Autotools manner of running tests (r2895)

Fixed  missing substitution of @libdir@ in geos-config (r2902)

[mloskot]

Regarding last fix, here is what I get now after rebuilding and installing geos-config with CMake:

mloskot@dog:~/dev/geos/_svn/build$ cmake ../trunk -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${HOME}/usr
...
mloskot@dog:~/dev/geos/_svn/build$ make
...

Fixed  problem in CMake version comparison to disable platform.h (r2905)

There is a  problem on Debian 5.0 which includes very early version of CMake 2.6, but I wanted to use more recent features.

[mloskot]

Ported list of SAVE_XMLTESTS to CMake configuration of XMLTester (r2906)

mloskot@dog:~/dev/geos/_svn/build$ make check
Test project /home/mloskot/dev/geos/_svn/build
    Start 1: geos_unit
1/2 Test #1: geos_unit ........................   Passed    0.10 sec
    Start 2: xmltester
2/2 Test #2: xmltester ........................   Passed   19.45 sec

100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 2

Total Test time (real) =  19.56 sec
Built target check

[mloskot]

Fixed related ticket #330

[mloskot]

Patch from Gavin Heavyside that enables CMake to build GEOS as a dependency of user-defined project (r2916)

[mloskot]

Added cmake/cmake_uninstall.cmake.in script and configured make uninstall target for CMake configuration (r2934)

[mloskot]

There is Wiki guide about Building on Unix with CMake

[mloskot]

I think it's reasonable to consider this task completed. Closing.
