According to this page:
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/cmake-manual.html
the way to replace use of qt5_use_modules() for module "_mod" and target "_target"
is to use
1.) cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.1.0)
2.) find_package(Qt5${_mod} CONFIG REQUIRED)
3.) target_link_libraries(${_target} Qt5::${_mod})
The last one sets all reguired libraries, compile flags and needed includes for the ${_target}
1.) Rename LYX_PATCH_VERSION to LYX_RELEASE_VERSION.
This matches the use in automake.
2.) Don't display LYX_DATE at configure time.
This value is evaluated later at build time
The URL tests can take a long time to complete. By running them at
the beginning, time can be saved when running the ctests in
parallel.
This saves around 10 minutes for me.
- update the file list in Makefile.am
- don't try to build it via CMake because this requires more than CMakeLists.txt. If it should nevertheless be built via CMake the .cmake files need to be rewritten from scratch
- remove unused and outdated files
- update an SVG file
The variable CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_RELEASE has to be in the form
of "^[A-Za-z0-9.+~]+$". We will use the abbreviated commit revision for now.
Without this change cmake 3.10 emits error.
Previously one needed to use '-D_LYX_INSTALL=ON' to be able to install
some targets. This change only creates rules to make installation possible for
the underlying toolset.
The setting is still needed to create the rules for manuals, lokalizations and
win32 install scripts.
Traditionally LyX behaves differently when the directive DEVEL_VERSION
is defined at compile time. This covers
* more detailed description of current position in status bar
* the help files are open in read/write mode
* more detailed debug output in the View Source panel
This patch introduces the new function devel-mode-toggle that allows
to use devel mode in stable releases, and vice versa.
The information is saved in the session file. The default is to
disable devel mode.
Remove all traces of DEVEL_VERSION in autoconf and cmake
Selecting -DLYX_USE_QT=AUTO (which is the default now) will try
to figure out which QT-version to use.
The qt4 version will be used if it is installed and the installed qt5-version is <= 5.6
Otherwise use qt5 if it is installed.
If the value LYX_PROGRAM_SUFFIX is not handled, we have to use
LYX_PACKAGE_SUFFIX.
The naming 'PACKAGE' in our sources is misleading, as it is used
for the name of the debian/rpm packages as well.
The added cmake-parameter is:
-DLYX_EXTERNAL_MYTHES=<value>
where <value> is one of
AUTO (Default) Search first on system for mythes (lib and include)
ON Use installed only (errors if not installed)
OFF Compile the provided source in 3rdparty
QT5.7 cmake config files explicitly instruct cmake to use `-std=gnu++11`.
This is not the same as is found by our FindCXX11Compiler.cmake,
which leads to compilation errors.
Here we overrule the setting.

The keytests were previously enabled by default if the necessary
dependencies were found. They require a GUI and mouse so can
sometimes be annoying. Further, they are not currently reliable.
They are thus now disabled by default.
With both Qt4 and Qt5, when using a click-to-focus policy, the first
attempt to paste a selection by middle mouse in an external application
which has no focus may fail. It is not clear why this succeeds for some
applications and fails for others, but refreshing the timestamp of the
selection request cures the issue. The cmake part is by Kornel.

The split is now analogous to automake. The individual libs are handled
analogously to already handled boost.
automake config setting cmake config settings
--with-included-iconv -DLYX_EXTERNAL_ICONV=OFF
--with-included-zlib -DLYX_EXTERNAL_Z=OFF
--with--included-hunspell -DLYX_EXTERNAL_HUNSPELL=OFF
If the included thirdparty libs are requested, use them, even on unix. This is
consistent with autotools (but the recommended way is of course to use the
system libs). If the included thirdparty libs are not requested then try to find
libiconv and zlib also on windows. This will lead to an error unless the libs are
found via manually added include and link paths, but this is wanted since
libiconv and zlib are not optional.
Boost.Signals is deprecated. This fixes bug #9943.
The only thing left to do is to rewrite (or get rid of) the boost -mt test
in config/lyxinclude.m4 not to use signals anymore.
As discussed on the list. If no C++11 compiler is found configuration stops
with an error. There are now unneeded parts of boost, the will be removed in
a second commit.
For a suffixed version (with suffix 2.3) and installation dir (/usr/local)
the new paths are:
binary -> /usr/local/bin
system-lib -> /usr/local/share/lyx2.3
fonts -> /usr/local/fonts/truetype/lyx2.3
manuals -> /usr/local/man/man1
locales -> /usr/local/share/locale
tex -> /usr/local/texmf/tex/latex/lyx2.3
Nothing changes for already cached values.
With fresh build-dir and in 'AUTO'-mode we try to determine if the c++ compiler
is able to use this feature.
It works with gcc >= 4.9.0 and clang (with libc++ or gcc libstdc++ from gcc
>= 4.9.0). The MSVC parg is missing, because I cannot test it, and the
autotools build still link against boost::regex even if it is not needed, but
I don't know how to fix that.
As discussed on the list. We don't need it anymore, either we have a modern
compiler that supports C++11, or we fall back to boost. I kept and adjusted
the regex #define, since we cannot use std regex completely yet.
If we compile in C++11 mode, do not use the boost replacements for bind,
functional and shared_ptr. regex is excluded, since it misses match_partial, and
gcc does not provide a usable one in versions less than 4.9.0.
I also removed the #define for match_partial, since this is dangerous. Now you
get a compile error instead of subtle runtime differences.
The interface is now 100% unit tested, and the typedefs depend on the new
STD_STRING_USES_COW configuration variable. The only missing bit is to detect
clang and disable STD_STRING_USES_COW for clang.
1.) The only file which needs this define is src/version.cpp. Our use in config.h
resulted in recompiling most of our sources.
With this change, only version.cpp needs to be recompiled.
2.) Without reconfiguring, the old commit hash was still valid. Now the
detection of commit hash is done at compile time.
The configuration time suffers mostly on checking, which of the export tests
is to be reverted.
1.) There is a new configuration flag now, "LYX_ENABLE_EXOPRT_TESTS.
If not set (default) no export tests are created.
2.) If set, then the optimization halves the time needed for creation of tests.
The effect on my side:
a.) Until now the time was: ~ 26 seconds
b.) The optimized time is now: ~ 16 seconds
c.) With not enabled export tests: ~ 5 seconds
In collaboration with Scott Kostyshak:
With Qt 4 we could use Q_WS_X11, defined by FindQt4.cmake. In Qt 5,
there is no FindQt5.cmake. Instead we now define our own variable,
QT_USES_X11 by using class QX11Info available only on X11.
(http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/QX11Info.html)
The main consequence of this improved support is that now the keytests
can be run (ctest -R "keytest") when LyX is compiled with Qt 5.
Before, with Qt 5 we did not know if X11 was available, which is
needed by xvkbd, so the tests were not enabled. Note, however, that
many tests fail with Qt version 5.2.1 because there was a change in
the event handling mechanism in Qt that causes xvkbd to be unable to
pass capital letters (so case sensitive greps in the tests fail). This
needs to be investigated and reported.
New option: LYX_REQUIRE_SPELLCHECK. If set and no spellchecker found
stop the compilation
if not set, compile in many speckeckers as possible from the set
of 'ASPELL', 'Hunspell', 'Enchant'
This patch improves the cmake bundling process:
- reworked bundle handling for OS X: only when installing resources are copied, otherwise
only the smallest bundle is built
- on OS X, the utility programs (tex2lyx) are now installed in the right location
- it removes some unneeded BUNDLE DESTINATION
- it provides a basic support for QT plugins inclusion
- it properly builds a disk image on OS X (only the background image is missing)
- it fixes the library paths for all executables (not only LyX)
- Use the COPYING file for cmake install license
This fixes an issue whe compiling with C++11 flags on: The
objective-C clang compiler produces an error. This patch waits
avoid including specific C++ flags and uses LYX_CPP_SPECIFIC_FLAGS
to store the confliciting flags (for the moment, just C++11).
New target: git-archive. It uses the archive comman of git to create
the complete source package.
This Target is only available if
1.) there is a git command on this host
2.) the lyx-source is under git control
This patch puts all projects into subfolders (at least for MSVS). In this
way, there is a better overview (especially if the number of test projects
will be increasing).
Many test are not running, but if changed the '-dbg xxx' to '-dbg any'
then all of sudden they pass ...
(The buffered output of lyx is often disrupted too early with 'kill -9',
so the expected data are not available for the appropriate test)
Creating LYX_DATE dynamically at configure-time caused unwanted recompilation
of the whole directories (src + src/tex2lyx) because all the relevant objects
were dependent of a common file (flags.make in case of "Unix makefiles") which changed
accordingly.
There is now a new include (lyx_date.h, with only one definition)
Nothing changes for automake, since in this case LYX_DATE is defined in config.h
Just some comments on the patch:
- The executable name has to match the information in Info.plist (development/MacOSX/Info.plist.in and CMakeLists.txt). The autoconf config/lyxinclude.m4 file has been modified to make it work with autotools.
- The process to build OS X bundle is to first add all the files to be included to the bundle when calling add_executable (src/CMakeLists.txt) and then by calling setting the source file property of each of these files (development/cmake/Install.cmake, l.14) so that the files are properly located into the bundle. This is also why Install.cmake has to be included two times in src/CMakeLists.txt (once to build the list of files, once to set the location of the list of files).
- in CMakeLists.txt there is a line
install(CODE "set(BU_CHMOD_BUNDLE_ITEMS 1)")
What it does is to fix the owner permissions within the bundle - this is necessary because some libraries are copied within the bundle and might be owned by root
- An empty qt.conf is included in the bundle so that QT does not try to link to other QT libraries (which will not be included in the bundle)
- In development/cmake/Install.cmake, some OS X specific files (*.sdef, qt.conf, *.icns) have to be included in the bundle

cmake build be configurable.
Use -DLYX_LOCALVERSIONING=ON (default = OFF)
The package name will then be
lyx-2.1.0-xxxxgit-yyyy.zzz
where xxxx == version number (similar to svn)
yyyy == your OS (e.g. Linux)
zzz == package extension (e.g. deb, rpm, tar.gz etc)
otherwise the string '-xxxxgit' will not be used.
