Add explicit support for passing a `ADD_CMAKE_TO_PATH={0,1}` property to
`msiexec` command-line installations to control the checkbox. Also
preserve compatibility with the old `ADD_CMAKE_TO_PATH={None,System}`
property, which previously controlled the radio button group, by mapping
the values to the checkbox.
Remove the "Add CMake to the system PATH for the current user" option.
It actually added CMake to the installing user's PATH, not the system
PATH, even though CMake is installed to a system location.
Also revise the wording of the desktop shortcut checkbox to match
the style of the PATH checkbox wording.
Issue: #21465
Run CPack in a separate job for nightly binaries, and not at all for
release binaries. Unlike macOS disk images (.dmg), we cannot sign the
binaries inside Windows installers (.msi) after-the-fact. Instead,
produce enough artifacts from the build job to sign and package release
binaries manually.
Port build settings from `Utilities/Release/win/x86/Dockerfile` and its
helper scripts.
Now cpack_ifw_configure_file command used to configure
template files of component's scripts.
Now for these template files we can use QtIFW predefined
variables (like @VAR@) and template variables
in Qt/IFW/SDK/Creator templates style (like %VAR%).
Now CMake_INSTALL_INFIX advanced variable used to configure
CMake installation destination when package as part of QtSDK.
Use a custom action to look for Uninstall.exe in the user
selected installation prefix.
Its presence indicates a previous NSIS installation.
Inform the user and request manual resolution of the issue.
The latter is now the preferred URL for visiting cmake.org with a
browser. Convert using the shell code:
git ls-files -z | xargs -0 sed -i 's|http://www\.cmake|https://cmake|g'
CPack IFW generator updates:
- Group now can have script;
- Root package (for monolithic or one package installers) can be
configured from group.
CMake updates:
- Native installation (no Unspecified component).
Historically CMake used three version components for the feature level.
We released new features while incrementing only the third version
component. Since commit v2.8.2~105^2~4 (New version scheme to support
branchy workflow, 2010-04-23) we used the fourth version component for
bug-fix releases and the development date:
<major>.<minor>.<patch>[.<tweak>][-rc<n>] = Release
<major>.<minor>.<patch>.<date>[-<id>] = Development
This solidified use of three components for the feature level, and was
necessary to continue releasing 2.x versions because:
* Some existing projects performed floating-point comparisons of
${CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION}.${CMAKE_MINOR_VERSION} to 2.x numbers
so ``x`` could never be higher than 9.
* Version 2.9.<date> was used briefly in post-2.8.0 development in
CVS prior to the transition to Git, so using it in releases may
have caused confusion.
Now that we are moving to 3.x versions, these two restrictions go away.
Therefore we now change to use only two components for the feature
level and use the scheme:
<major>.<minor>.<patch>[-rc<n>] = Release
<major>.<minor>.<date>[-<id>] = Development
Now that we use Sphinx to generate the documentation there is a single
entry point to link from the start menu. Drop all the (now broken)
links to the individual html document pages and provide a single link to
the index.html "CMake Documentation" entry point.
This new CPack generator produces an *.msi installer file.
Requires having the WiX Toolset installed in order to work
properly.

Ancient versions of CMake required else(), endif(), and similar block
termination commands to have arguments matching the command starting the
block. This is no longer the preferred style.
Run the following shell code:
for c in else endif endforeach endfunction endmacro endwhile; do
echo 's/\b'"$c"'\(\s*\)(.\+)/'"$c"'\1()/'
done >convert.sed &&
git ls-files -z -- bootstrap '*.cmake' '*.cmake.in' '*CMakeLists.txt' |
egrep -z -v '^(Utilities/cm|Source/kwsys/)' |
egrep -z -v 'Tests/CMakeTests/While-Endwhile-' |
xargs -0 sed -i -f convert.sed &&
rm convert.sed
Problem with CMake 2.8.4-rc1: when you launch the NSIS exe installer
on Windows, the default install path shown to the end user is, at first,
"\CMake 2.8".
This problem started occurring when configuring CMake itself with an
older CMake, after adding CPACK_NSIS_INSTALL_ROOT to fix issue 9148.
So... it's a regression from 2.8.3.
I forgot (again) that when you add a new CPack variable, you must
add it to CMake's CMakeCPack.cmake file or else it is empty when
configured with an older CMake. And on Windows, without a bootstrap
build available, the releases are always configured with an older
version of CMake. This may be the last time this has bitten me,
though, because it is now burned into my brain that problems with
CMake's installer itself are inevitably associated with adding new
CPack variables.
In addition to adding a definition for CPACK_NSIS_INSTALL_ROOT,
I've gone ahead and made it differ for the 32- and 64-bit builds
of CMake to give the end user the expected default value for the
Program Files folder for each one.
And, since I was adding a new 32/64 differentiator anyhow, I made
the "NSIS package name" and "installer registry key base" different
for 64-bit builds, too, by appending " (Win64)" to each one.
These address the concerns mentioned in 9148's related issue:
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=9094 (at least as far
as CMake's installer is concerned). 9094 could still use a good
general fix for all projects, though, and remains open for now.
