Defaults:
- * NLS disabled by default.
+ * DONE: NLS should be enabled by default.
* Eventually, cmake without option should generate a makefile that has reasonable defaults for everything
(nls, spellcheck, build type, ...), at least when released.
Help:
- * I do not know how to have a list of variables from the command line
+ * DONE: I do not know how to have a list of variables from the command line
(before I actually run it). cmake --help is not useful.
* how can I see what the command line was. With autoconf I'd just
do "make V=1", what shall I do with cmake?
+ ANSWER: "make VERBOSE=1"
Bug fixing
- * Run in place, without using LYX_DIR_20x
+ * DONE: Run in place, without using LYX_DIR_21x
copy the resources (bind/ ui/ layouts/ dicts/ thes/ ...) to the build stage (?)
This is what I do: copy them from an autotools install into the cmake project.
Package.cpp and config.h.cmake has to be fixed.
* check that .tar.gz and .xz are identical to those from autotools
- * Fix libintl, LYX_EXTERNAL_LIBINTL=OFF triggers compilation in intl even when LYX_NLS is OFF
+ * *.po are too often generated by Visual Studio
+ * show correct values in cmake-gui: write forced to cache
Documentation
* Better documentation, variable naming, more automake-like
- * what does LYX_DEVEL_VERSION do?
- * What is the difference with LYX_RELEASE=OFF?
* how do I specify whether I want debug informations (-g flag) for unix?
Features
* I would like to see a BUILD_TYPE flag like in autotools, with automatic selection from lyx version
* Disbale merging selectively
- * Make .dmg
- * Bundles for Mac OSX
+ * STARTED: Make .dmg
+ * STARTED: Bundles for Mac OSX
with support for universal binaries (don't know if it currently is a problem to build them)
+ * from the maintainer point of view these task are needed:
+ - DONE: *.po remerge of strings in po/ (ie "make update-po")
+ - DONE: tarball creation, most notably i dont see any list of files which should go into tarball, we dont want everything to go there
+ (ie "make distcheck" to check tree is prepared for release, "make dist" for actual release)
+ ANSWER: "make package_source"
+ these are nice to have and present in autotools, though not critical
+ - DONE: target for regenaration of lfuns manual would be nice (ie make lfundoc)
+ - DONE: target for doxygen generation (ie make doxydoc)
+ * DONE: get patch version from configure.ac (regex)
+ * DONE: Automatically generate package dependencies for debian
Cleanup
* stdlib-debug mode should be merged with windows debug mode, since it is the same basically
- * I do not like the weird paths where built files go. I really cannot find my way there
+ * DONE: I do not like the weird paths where built files go. I really cannot find my way there
* Shouldn't we use lower case names everywhere (when possible)?
Then the cmake files doesn't look that antiquated. And seeing an uppercase variable means
that this variable wasn't introduced by lyx and is a cmake default name.
- * port 'development/cmake/doc/ReplaceValues.pl' to python
+ * DONE: port 'development/cmake/doc/ReplaceValues.pl' to python
+ * STARTED: split master CMakeLists somehow: cpack, pcs, warnings, dependencies, defaults, install, options, ...
+ remove dependencies between these modules
+ DONE for cpack
