CMake: Record used package version for each target dependency When recording which package version to look for in QtFooModuleDependencies.cmake and other files like it, instead of using PROJECT_VERSION, use the version of the package that contains the dependency. For example if we're hypothetically building the qtdeclarative repo from the 6.4 branch, against an installed 6.2 qtbase, then the Qt6QmlModuleDependencies.cmake file will have a find_package(Qt6Core 6.2) call because qtdeclarative's find_package(Qt6Core) call found a 6.2 Core when it was configured. This allows switching the versioning scheme of specific Qt modules that might not want to follow the general Qt versioning scheme. The first candidate would be QtWebEngine which might want to follow the Chromium versioning scheme, something like Qt 6.94.0 where 94 is the Chromium major version. Implementation notes. We now record the package version of a target in a property called _qt_package_version. We do it for qt modules, plugins, 3rd party libraries, tools and the Platform target. When we try to look up which version to write into the QtFooModuleDependencies.cmake file (or the equivalent Plugins and Tools file), we try to find the version from a few sources: the property mentioned above, then the Qt6{target}_VERSION variable, and finally PROJECT_VERSION. In the latter case, we issue a warning because technically that should never have to happen, and it's a bug or an unforeseen case if it does. A few more places also need adjustments: - package versions to look for when configuring standalone tests and generating standalone tests Config files - handling of tools packages - The main Qt6 package lookup in each Dependencies.cmake files Note that there are some requirements and consequences in case a module wants to use a different versioning scheme like 6.94.0. Requirements. - The root CMakeLists.txt file needs to call find_package with a version different from the usual PROJECT_VERSION. Ideally it should look for a few different Qt versions which are known to be compatible, for example the last stable and LTS versions, or just the lowest supported Qt version, e.g. 6.2.6 or whenever this change would land in the 6.2 branch. - If the repository has multiple modules, some of which need to follow the Qt versioning scheme and some not, project(VERSION x.y.z) calls need to be carefully placed in subdirectory scopes with appropriate version numbers, so that qt_internal_add_module / _tool / _plugin pick up the correct version. Consequences. - The .so / .dylib names will contain the new version, e.g. .so.6.94 - Linux ELF symbols will contain the new versions - syncqt private headers will now exist under a include/QtFoo/6.94.0/QtFoo/private folder - pri and prl files will also contain the new version numbers - pkg-config .pc files contain the new version numbers - It won't be possible to write find_package(Qt6 6.94 COMPONENTS WebEngineWidgets) in user code. One would have to write find_package(Qt6WebEngineWidgets 6.94) otherwise CMake will try to look for Qt6Config 6.94 which won't exist. - Similarly, a find_package(Qt6 6.4 COMPONENTS Widgets WebEngineWidgets) call would always find any kind of WebEngine package that is higher than 6.4, which might be 6.94, 6.95, etc. - In the future, if we fix Qt6Config to pass EXACT to its subcomponent find_package calls, a find_package(Qt6 6.5.0 EXACT COMPONENTS Widgets WebEngineWidgets) would fail to find WebEngineWidgets, because its 6.94.0 version will not be equal to 6.5.0. Currently we don't pass through EXACT, so it's not an issue.
