CMake: Enforce minimum CMake version in user projects This change introduces new behavior to error out when configuring user projects if the CMake version used is too old for Qt to work with. The main motivator is the requirement of new CMake features to ensure object libraries are placed in the proper place on the link line in static builds. The minimum CMake version is computed based on whether Qt was configured as shared or static libraries. At the moment the required versions for building and using Qt are the same. The minimum versions are defined in qtbase/.cmake.conf in the following variables QT_SUPPORTED_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_BUILDING_QT_SHARED QT_SUPPORTED_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_BUILDING_QT_STATIC QT_SUPPORTED_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_USING_QT_SHARED QT_SUPPORTED_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_USING_QT_STATIC Qt Packagers can disable the version check when configuring Qt by setting QT_FORCE_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_BUILDING_QT and QT_FORCE_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_USING_QT. In this case it is the packagers responsibility to ensure such a Qt works correctly with the specified CMake version. User projects can also set QT_FORCE_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_USING_QT to disable the version check. Then it's the project's developer responsibility to ensure such a Qt works correctly. No official support is provided for these cases. Implementation notes. The versions required to build Qt are stored in QtBuildInternalsExtra.cmake whereas the versions required to use Qt are stored in a new QtConfigExtras.cmake. Also the policy range variables stored in QtBuildInternalsExtra.cmake are now regular variables instead of cache variables, to properly allow overrides per-repository. Some renaming of functions and variables was done for a bit more clarity and easier grep-ability.

CMake: Bump the minimum required CMake version to build Qt to 3.18 Add a new function that returns the minimum CMake version required to build Qt. Pass that value to cmake_minimum_required() when building qtbase and its standalone tests. The minimum supported CMake version is read from qtbase/.cmake.conf and its value should be updated when the need arises. It's the main source of truth for all repos. Provide a way to lower the minimum CMake version at configure time by passing a value via QT_FORCE_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION. This is not an officially supported way of building Qt. If the specified version is lower than Qt's supported minimum, show a warning. Nevertheless the option is useful for testing how Qt builds with a different minimum CMake version due to different policies being enabled by default. Issue warnings for CMake versions that are higher than the minimum version but are known to cause issues when building Qt. A counterpart change is needed in qt5 to ensure the minimum CMake version is set at the proper time for top-level builds. Ideally we would use the same 'check the CMake minimum version` code in all our repositories, but that will cause lots of duplication because we can't really find_package() the code and doing something like include(../qtbase/foo.cmake) hardcodes assumptions about repo locations. So for now we don't bump the minimum version in child repo cmake_minimum_required calls (qtsvg, qtdeclarative, etc). Instead we record both the minimum supported version and the computed minimum version (in case a different version was forced) in QtBuildInternalsExtra.cmake. Then we require qtbase's computed min version in qt_build_repo_begin(). This won't set policies as cmake_minimum_required would, but at least it propagates what minimum CMake version should be used for child repos. We might still have to bump the versions in child repos at some point.

CMake: Bump min required CMake version for static Qt builds to 3.20 Building a static library Qt configuration will now require a minimum CMake version of 3.20. Qt builders and packagers can still opt out of the mentioned minimum required version by configuring Qt with QT_FORCE_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION. Such a Qt configuration is /NOT SUPPORTED/. To facilitate these changes, the minimum version check has been moved to happen after the BUILD_SHARED_LIBS option is computed by either QtAutoDetect.cmake or set by a user provided cmake toolchain file. Introduce a new QT_MIN_SUPPORTED_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_STATIC_QT variable in .cmake.conf to mark the minimum version for a static Qt build.

CMake: Bump the minimum required CMake version to build Qt to 3.18 Add a new function that returns the minimum CMake version required to build Qt. Pass that value to cmake_minimum_required() when building qtbase and its standalone tests. The minimum supported CMake version is read from qtbase/.cmake.conf and its value should be updated when the need arises. It's the main source of truth for all repos. Provide a way to lower the minimum CMake version at configure time by passing a value via QT_FORCE_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION. This is not an officially supported way of building Qt. If the specified version is lower than Qt's supported minimum, show a warning. Nevertheless the option is useful for testing how Qt builds with a different minimum CMake version due to different policies being enabled by default. Issue warnings for CMake versions that are higher than the minimum version but are known to cause issues when building Qt. A counterpart change is needed in qt5 to ensure the minimum CMake version is set at the proper time for top-level builds. Ideally we would use the same 'check the CMake minimum version` code in all our repositories, but that will cause lots of duplication because we can't really find_package() the code and doing something like include(../qtbase/foo.cmake) hardcodes assumptions about repo locations. So for now we don't bump the minimum version in child repo cmake_minimum_required calls (qtsvg, qtdeclarative, etc). Instead we record both the minimum supported version and the computed minimum version (in case a different version was forced) in QtBuildInternalsExtra.cmake. Then we require qtbase's computed min version in qt_build_repo_begin(). This won't set policies as cmake_minimum_required would, but at least it propagates what minimum CMake version should be used for child repos.

CMake: Enable NEW policies by CMake version with a global default When a CMake release introduces a new policy that affects most Qt modules, it may be appropriate to make each module aware of that newer CMake version and use the NEW policy without raising the minimum CMake version requirement. To reduce the churn associated with making that change across all Qt modules individually, this change allows it to be updated in a central place (qtbase), but in a way that allows a Qt module to override it in its own .cmake.conf file if required (e.g. to address the issues identified by policy warnings at a later time). The policies are modified at the start of the call to qt_build_repo_begin(). For commands defined by the qtbase module, qtbase needs to be in control of the policy settings at the point where those commands are defined. The above mechanism should not affect the policy settings for these commands, so the various *Config.cmake.in files must not specify policy ranges in a way that a Qt module's .cmake.conf file could influence. Starting with CMake 3.12, policies can be specified as a version range with the cmake_minimum_required() and cmake_policy() commands. All policies introduced in CMake versions up to the upper limit of that range will be set to NEW. The actual version of CMake being used only has to be at least the lower limit of the specified version range. This change uses cmake_minimum_required() rather than cmake_policy() due to the latter not halting further processing upon failure.

The current state of the Qt build works fine with this CMake version, mainly because the default build on Linux is single-config.

CMake: Enable NEW policies by CMake version with a global default When a CMake release introduces a new policy that affects most Qt modules, it may be appropriate to make each module aware of that newer CMake version and use the NEW policy without raising the minimum CMake version requirement. To reduce the churn associated with making that change across all Qt modules individually, this change allows it to be updated in a central place (qtbase), but in a way that allows a Qt module to override it in its own .cmake.conf file if required (e.g. to address the issues identified by policy warnings at a later time). The policies are modified at the start of the call to qt_build_repo_begin(). For commands defined by the qtbase module, qtbase needs to be in control of the policy settings at the point where those commands are defined. The above mechanism should not affect the policy settings for these commands, so the various *Config.cmake.in files must not specify policy ranges in a way that a Qt module's .cmake.conf file could influence. Starting with CMake 3.12, policies can be specified as a version range with the cmake_minimum_required() and cmake_policy() commands. All policies introduced in CMake versions up to the upper limit of that range will be set to NEW. The actual version of CMake being used only has to be at least the lower limit of the specified version range. This change uses cmake_minimum_required() rather than cmake_policy() due to the latter not halting further processing upon failure.

# Used to upgrade policies only when building Qt repositories.

CMake: Enable NEW policies by CMake version with a global default When a CMake release introduces a new policy that affects most Qt modules, it may be appropriate to make each module aware of that newer CMake version and use the NEW policy without raising the minimum CMake version requirement. To reduce the churn associated with making that change across all Qt modules individually, this change allows it to be updated in a central place (qtbase), but in a way that allows a Qt module to override it in its own .cmake.conf file if required (e.g. to address the issues identified by policy warnings at a later time). The policies are modified at the start of the call to qt_build_repo_begin(). For commands defined by the qtbase module, qtbase needs to be in control of the policy settings at the point where those commands are defined. The above mechanism should not affect the policy settings for these commands, so the various *Config.cmake.in files must not specify policy ranges in a way that a Qt module's .cmake.conf file could influence. Starting with CMake 3.12, policies can be specified as a version range with the cmake_minimum_required() and cmake_policy() commands. All policies introduced in CMake versions up to the upper limit of that range will be set to NEW. The actual version of CMake being used only has to be at least the lower limit of the specified version range. This change uses cmake_minimum_required() rather than cmake_policy() due to the latter not halting further processing upon failure.

# Functions don't have their own policy scope, so the policy settings modified
# here will be those of the caller's policy scope. Note that these settings
# will only apply to functions and macros defined after this function is called,
# but not to any that are already defined. Ordinary CMake code not inside a
# function or macro will be affected by these policy settings too.

CMake: Enforce minimum CMake version in user projects This change introduces new behavior to error out when configuring user projects if the CMake version used is too old for Qt to work with. The main motivator is the requirement of new CMake features to ensure object libraries are placed in the proper place on the link line in static builds. The minimum CMake version is computed based on whether Qt was configured as shared or static libraries. At the moment the required versions for building and using Qt are the same. The minimum versions are defined in qtbase/.cmake.conf in the following variables QT_SUPPORTED_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_BUILDING_QT_SHARED QT_SUPPORTED_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_BUILDING_QT_STATIC QT_SUPPORTED_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_USING_QT_SHARED QT_SUPPORTED_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_USING_QT_STATIC Qt Packagers can disable the version check when configuring Qt by setting QT_FORCE_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_BUILDING_QT and QT_FORCE_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_USING_QT. In this case it is the packagers responsibility to ensure such a Qt works correctly with the specified CMake version. User projects can also set QT_FORCE_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_USING_QT to disable the version check. Then it's the project's developer responsibility to ensure such a Qt works correctly. No official support is provided for these cases. Implementation notes. The versions required to build Qt are stored in QtBuildInternalsExtra.cmake whereas the versions required to use Qt are stored in a new QtConfigExtras.cmake. Also the policy range variables stored in QtBuildInternalsExtra.cmake are now regular variables instead of cache variables, to properly allow overrides per-repository. Some renaming of functions and variables was done for a bit more clarity and easier grep-ability.
