Hello everyone,
Attached are three patches containing several WIP changes (including my
current not-quite-yet-working CMake listfile), and a new config-cmake.h.in
file.
One change I'd like to make is for RunTest and RunGrepTest to not be
instantiated from .in files. Right now, the only value they're taking is
@top_srcdir@, so that they can locate test data in out-of-source-tree
builds. However, this is not the way; the Automake manual section "Simple
Tests" states that
Programs needing data files should look for them in srcdir (which
is both an environment variable and a make variable) so they work
when building in a separate directory (see Build Directories), and
in particular for the distcheck rule (see Dist).
I've tweaked the scripts accordingly, but now we have the problem that when
pcregrep(1) returns file paths, they are expected to start with
"./testdata/", whereas my changes make the path prefix arbitrary (e.g.
"/var/tmp/pcre-7.1-RC1/testdata/").
One possible way of getting around this is to have pcregrep actually be
invoked in the source directory, and the output redirected back to the
build directory. Something like
(cd $srcdir && $pcregrep -lr foobaz ./testdata) >>testtry
or perhaps more spread out like
(cd $srcdir
echo "---- Test 1 ----"
$pcregrep -lr foobaz ./testdata
echo "---- Test 2 ----"
$pcregrep -lr "^blah" ./testdata
) >>testtry
Symlinking the testdata directory, as is currently done inside the scripts
themselves, is elegant but unworkable on non-Unix filesystems. And
ultimately, we'll need a similar solution for the RunTest.bat script, which
doesn't yet support an out-of-source-tree build configuration.
Anyway, a walk-through of the changes:
==== Patch 1 ====
== CMakeLists.txt ==
* First cut of the new listfile. Works on Unix, but not yet there on
Windows. (Linking currently fails because none of the dll{im,ex}port
stuff has been done yet.)
== Makefile.am ==
* Tweaked up the pcre_chartables.c rule again, to use $(LN_S). (Usually is
set to "ln -s", but can be "cp" on Windows, etc.)
* Eliminated the bit that generates config-cmake.h.in. This file is going
to have to be hand-maintained. I've attached a first draft of it.
== configure.ac ==
* Added AC_PROG_LN_S, which sets $(LN_S).
* Fixed a typo: s/ebcdie/ebcdic/
* Made RunTest and RunGrepTest into non-generated files.
* Moved the "rm -f pcre_chartables.c" bit into an AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS call.
==== Patch 2 ====
== Various ==
* Use #include<> instead of #include"" for pcre.h. The latter causes the
compiler to look in the same directory as the calling file (ignoring any
-I... directives, even), which is trouble if the calling file is in
$(srcdir) and pcre.h is in $(builddir). (At least this was the case in
Visual Studio.)
* Changed all the "#if [!] FOO" directives to "#if[n]def". The symbol is
either #define'd or #undef, and the #cmakedefine does not set a value of
1 in the former case.
== pcre_exec.c ==
* The Windows SDK appears to use macros named min() and max(), so we #undef
those to avoid redefinition warnings.
== pcregrep.c ==
* Windows doesn't have unistd.h :-)
==== Patch 3 ====
== RunTest.in ==
* Note: This file should be renamed to "RunTest".
* Added the bit that picks up on $srcdir.
== RunGrepTest.in ==
* Note: This file should be renamed to "RunGrepTest".
* Added the bit that picks up on $srcdir.
Philip, could you add this config-cmake.h.in to the repository?
