AUTOUIC doesn't handle relative paths to .ui files in parent
directories when using Ninja Multi-Config.
The designer tool in qttools has such a ui file. This leads to the
following error when trying to build qttools together with examples as
ExternalProjects and Ninja Multi-Config:
ninja: error: 'src/designer/src/designer/designer_autogen/
include_Debug/ui_preferencesdialog.h', needed by
'src/designer/src/designer/designer_autogen:Debug',
missing and no known rule to make it
Until cmake is fixed, we can work around the issue by not adding
designer as a dependency when building EP examples, because no example
tries to use the app.
We can't exclude all apps from example dependencies because some
modules use qt_internal_add_app for tools as well, which are called
from public CMake API and also examples.
An example of this is qtapplicationmanager.
Given that we can't exclude all apps, introduce a function to
allow skipping single targets when building EP examples.
This will allow excluding designer specifically.
The examples will now depend on a new ${repo}_src_for_examples target
rather than ${repo}_src, which will exclude skipped targets.

Instead of constantly trying to find packages by calling
qt_find_package on each reconfiguration, record which packages were
found during initial configuration. Then on a second reconfiguration,
skip looking for packages that were not found on the initial
configuration.
This speeds up reconfiguration on certain platforms and repos.

Note this is a behavior change from how find_package is used in most
CMake projects, where if a package was previously missing, the
developer can just install the package and reconfigure to pick it up.
With this change, they will first have to remove their CMakeCache.txt
file and configure from scratch, or remove the
QT_INTERNAL_PREVIOUSLY_FOUND_PACKAGES cache variable and reconfigure.
For this reason, we enable this behavior by default only in
-developer-builds.
Builders can also opt in or out by setting the
QT_INTERNAL_SAVE_PREVIOUSLY_FOUND_PACKAGES variable to either ON or
OFF.
Note this behavior does not apply to user projects, or direct
find_package calls (as opposed to qt_find_package).

syncqt.pl adds an extra dependency on perl when building Qt. Modern C++
provides the convenient cross-platform way to access a filesystem and
to use regular expressions, so we may replace the perl script with C++
application. The syncqt executable is built at configure time and
installed as QtCore tool. It's running at configure time to deliver the
required header files for IDE to build a consistent code model and at
the build time to keep tracking changes in header files and generate
the missing aliases without reconfiguring. 'syncqt' only parses header
files from a CMake build tree, so the resulting Qt installation only
contains interfacing headers that belong to the platform that Qt is
built for. 'sync.profile' files are not used as the 'source of truth'
for sync qt procedure anymore, all the necessary information is taken
from either CMake files at configure time or from the module header
files while parsing them.
syncqt.pl is still in place since it's required as fallback solution
for a smooth transition to the new syncqt implementation for all qt
repositories.
This patchset only enables the C++ based syncqt for 'qtbase'
repository.
From the performance perspective C++ version works faster then perl
script, also the configure time is reduced significally on subsequent
reconfigurations - up x2 times faster when re-configuring repository,
but it also takes time to compile the tool itself the first time.
Numbers for qtbase:
syncqt.pl syncqt.cpp
initial: 0m16,035s 0m20,413s
reconfig: 0m6,819s 0m3,725s
The syncing procedure can be run separately for each module using
<ModuleName>_sync_headers targets. The 'sync_headers' target can be
used to sync all the modules at once.

When building qtsvg examples as external projects on Windows
with Ninja Multi-Config in a prefix build on the CI, the build would
fail with an error message like:
ninja: error:
'C:/Users/qt/work/qt/qtsvg/lib/Qt6SvgWidgets.lib', needed by
'RelWithDebInfo/svgviewer.exe', missing and no known rule to make it
This can be reproduced locally on Windows if one calls
'ninja svgviewer' instead of just 'ninja'. I wasn't able to reproduce
it on macOS, although I have seen some peculiarities in the
dependencies there as well.
External project examples depend on the ${repo_name}_src custom
target to ensure all Qt modules are built, so one would expect that
dependency to be sufficient.
While trying to figure out what's going wrong, I noticed that running
'ninja -t query qtsvg_src:Debug' showed dependencies on Release
libraries, which should not happen. The :Release target looked fine
though.
I'm still not quite sure why the Release libraries are not built
on the first ninja run, despite the example having a proper dependency
on qtsvg:Release.
Running 'ninja svgviewer' a few more times ends up succeeding at one
point, because the SvgWidgets Release library does get built in
parallel with the failing example, and the next rebuild would
succeed.
While trying to fix the :Debug target to have proper dependencies, I
noticed that we add dependencies to the ${repo_name}_src custom target
via the DEPENDS option of add_custom_target(). That is incorrect,
that option should only be used for file level dependencies.
For target dependencies, add_dependencies should be used.
Doing that fixed both the :Debug dependencies as well as the Windows
issue, which is good enough for me.

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.

information feature.
binutils version 2.34 mentions the feature for the first time:
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs-2.34/binutils/strip.html#strip
To ensure the debuglink section is preserved, generate a shell wrapper
that calls the original strip binary with an extra option to keep the
required section.
To determine if the option is supported, we build a real shared library
on which strip will be called with the --keep-section option.
If the option is not supported, a wrapper is not generated and the
stock strip binary is used.
This logic only applies when targeting Linux and MinGW + a shared
library Qt. For other targets, the stock strip binary is used.

And each value also gets lib/cmake appended and assigned to

Introduce a new QT_INTERNAL_CUSTOM_INSTALL_DIR variable to
allow specifying an 'examples install dir' outside of the Qt prefix.
It will be used in a follow-up change to ensure we don't package
the example binaries in our CI artifacts (thus saving space).
This will be even more important when the examples will contain code
to deploy Qt libraries alongside each deployed example (which would
significantly increase the package size).

Change prefix builds to use ExternalProjects to build examples
by default. This will affect our CI which only does prefix builds.
To make it work, we have to do a few adjustments:
- look for Config files in the build-tree (before Qt is installed)
- build only one examples with only a single config,
even if Qt is a multi-config build
- install examples as part of main make install step, rather than
as part of the make step (which is the default for EPs)
- adjust CXX flags when building with MSVC to ensure we can still
use sccache and separate debug info
- derive the correct install prefix for each example and pass it
to the ExternalProject
As a drive-by, add TODOs to address tidiness of the code and corner
cases that likely don't work (Conan).

We want to get rid of the INSTALL_EXAMPLEDIR and INSTALL_EXAMPLESDIR
code in each example project.
This was an internal workaround to ensure examples are installed into
a relative path somewhere under $qt_prefix/examples and not in
$qt_prefix/bin or similar.
To achieve that we do two things.
First, deduce the install prefix for each example in the
implementation of qt_internal_add_example (our add_subdirectory
wrapper) and assign it to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX before calling
add_subdirectory. We need to make sure to remove the default
value of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in the generated
cmake_install.cmake file.
Second, we set an internal variable called
QT_INTERNAL_SET_EXAMPLE_INSTALL_DIR_TO_DOT before the add_subdirectory
call, which will be checked whenever find_package(Qt6Core) is called
in an example project. If the variable is set, the
INSTALL_EXAMPLEDIR var is set to "." in the scope of where Qt6Core
is found.
This ensures that the hardcoded INSTALL_EXAMPLEDIR values in our
example projects are changed to ".".
With both changes, our example project install(TARGET DESTINATION)
calls will now install to
"${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/examples/${example_relative_dir}/."
Once all repositories are updated to use qt_internal_add_example
instead of add_subdirectory, we can get rid of the
QT_INTERNAL_SET_EXAMPLE_INSTALL_DIR_TO_DOT workaround.
For repositories that still don't use qt_internal_add_example,
the install prefix rewriting will not happen, but the examples will
still be installed to the proper place because they use their own
hardcoded INSTALL_EXAMPLEDIR value.

Instead of nesting the external project build dir under the current
binary dir, place the EP build dir where it would usually be when we
use add_subdirectory.
Shorten the name of the external project to just ${subdir} instead
of using the relative current binary dir path.
Place the EP prefix and stamp dirs under a new ${subdir}-ep folder
next to the example build dir.
Overall this places example executables where you'd usually expect
them to be, as well as shortens a bunch of build paths to circumvent
path limit issues when building on Windows.

Conan CI builds can built a qt repository in a repo-target-set
configuration. An example of that is qtscxml.
When building standalone tests, qt_build_tests includes a repo
specific TestsConfig.cmake file to call find_package on the modules
that were built as part of that repo.
That doesn't quite work with a repo-target-set build which is enabled
when the repo is built with a QT_BUILD_SINGLE_REPO_TARGET_SET value.
The TestsConfig.cmake file would be overridden with different contents
on each configuration.
Fix that by including the QT_BUILD_SINGLE_REPO_TARGET_SET value as
part of the TestsConfig.cmake file to be generated and included.
This means that when configuring the standalone tests, the same
QT_BUILD_SINGLE_REPO_TARGET_SET value should be passed, so that the
correct packages are found.
Add some debug statements to allow checking which TestsConfig.cmake
file is loaded when the standalone tests are configured with
--log-level=DEBUG.

We default to configuring examples as separate ExternalProjects when
using a developer / non-prefix Qt build.
This ensures we test that the examples configure successfully without
the pollution of the main Qt build (e.g. already found packages).
One down-side of this is that a developer's IDE doesn't see these
example targets, unless each project is loaded into the IDE
separately. This is cumbersome to do when refactoring or renaming
code across multiple example projects.
Allow configuring the example projects as part of the main Qt build
by setting QT_BUILD_EXAMPLES_AS_EXTERNAL to FALSE when configuring Qt.
Save the value of the variable in QtBuildInternalsExtra.cmake.in
so it's propagated to leaf repositories as well.

Building a shared library Qt configuration already required a minimum
CMake version of 3.16, because we depend on CMake's Autogen.json files
which are used for metatype.json file generation.
If a lower version was used, a FATAL_ERROR was issued in
qt6_extract_metatypes.
This change is essentially moving the check to happen earlier in the
qtbase configure process.
User projects will now /also/ officially require a minimum of 3.16
(up from 3.14).
As a consequence, the min/max version policy range that is set in
the public QtFooConfig.cmake files is changed
from 3.14..3.19
to 3.16..3.20
The upper bound is raised because building and using Qt works fine
with all CMake 3.20 policies set to NEW.
[ChangeLog][CMake] Building Qt as shared libraries now requires
CMake version 3.16 or later. Building user projects with CMake using
that Qt installation also requires a CMake version of 3.16 or later.

target_link_options are placed by CMake at the beginning of a linker
line. This gives us an opportunity to use the function to propagate
object libraries. This change adds one more check in the root
Config.cmake file. If CMP0099 policy is enabled, CMake enables
propagating of the linking options when linking two static libraries
using the PRIVATE linking visibility, so we can rely on the correct
linking order and expect object libraries to be propagated.
Note that on the platforms where cmake version is higher than 3.16
Qt uses CMP0099 NEW in functions like qt_add_executable. This means
that at the moment of creating an executable target the TARGET_POLICY
genex will also be NEW, so we do not take into the account the user
defined CMP0099.
If the CMP0099 policy is not available for a certain CMake version
we skip the TARGET_POLICY check and simply disable propagation of
the object libraries using target_link_options for both user and Qt
libraries. This is applicable for the CMake versions 3.16 and less.
Linking approaches have the following priorities(from higher to lower)
after this change:
- target_link_libraries - works if link order matters not or CMake
version greater equal 3.21.
- target_link_options - works if CMP0099 is set to NEW by user or
if the CMake version is greater than or equal to 3.17 and an
executable is created using Qt functions.
- object library finalizer - works if CMake version is greater equal
3.19 or qt6_finalize_target is called explicitly.
- target_sources - is used when all the other approaches could not
be used.
