Certain platform-related variables, in this case UNIX, must be set in a
platform module, because they get cleared after the toolchain file is
loaded. Such platform modules live in upstream CMake, but there is none
yet for INTEGRITY. This manifests in an undefined UNIX variable and
"System is unknown to CMake" warnings for the project and every
configure test.
Add the CMake module "Platform/Integrity" in the cmake/platforms
directory. Add this directory to CMAKE_MODULE_PATH to let CMake load
Platform/Integrity when the toolchain file set CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME to
"Integrity".
CMake's module directory takes precedence, when loading platform
modules. This is special for platform modules and different from the
documented behavior of CMAKE_MODULE_PATH and include().
In case the user wants to provide their own platform modules via
CMAKE_MODULE_PATH, they can instruct Qt to not add its path by setting
QT_AVOID_CUSTOM_PLATFORM_MODULES to ON.
Make sure that configure tests with project files also load the custom
platform module.

The QT_ADDITIONAL_PACKAGES_PREFIX_PATH variable was introduced to
allow specifying extra locations to find Qt packages.
The reason it was introduced instead of just using CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
is because the Qt6 component find_package call uses NO_DEFAULT_PATH
which means CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH is ignored.
We use NO_DEFAULT_PATH to ensure we don't accidentally pick up
system / distro Qt packages.
The paths from QT_ADDITIONAL_PACKAGES_PREFIX_PATH are added to the
find_package PATHS option in the Qt6 package, each
ModuleDependencies.cmake file and some other places.
Unfortunately that's not enough to make it work for cross-builds.
Imagine the following scenario.
host qtbase, qtdeclarative installed in /host_qt
target qtbase installed in /target_qtbase
target qtdeclarative installed in /target_qtdeclarative
We want to cross-build qtlottie.
We configure qtlottie as follows
/target_qtbase/bin/qt-configure-module /qtlottie_src -- -DQT_ADDITIONAL_PACKAGES_PREFIX_PATH=/target_qtdeclarative
We expect the target QtQuick package to be found, but it won't be.
The reason is that QT_ADDITIONAL_PACKAGES_PREFIX_PATH is added to the
PATHs option, but we don't adjust CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH.
Without adding the new paths in CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH, CMake will
re-root the passed PATHs under the existing CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH,
which is QT_TOOLCHAIN_RELOCATABLE_INSTALL_PREFIX, which evaluates to
/target_qtbase. There is no QtQuick package there.
To fix this, prepend the values of QT_ADDITIONAL_PACKAGES_PREFIX_PATH
to CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH.
The location where we currently do CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH manipulations
is in the qt.toolchain.cmake file, so to be consistent, we prepend the
new prefixes there as well.
We need to adjust both CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH and CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH,
due the path re-rooting bug in CMake.
See https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/21937 as well as
the existing comment in qt.toolchain.cmake marked with
REROOT_PATH_ISSUE_MARKER.
We also need to do a few more things to make the setup work
Because Qt6Config uses NO_DEFAULT_PATH, the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
adjustments we do in the toolchain file are not enough, so we still need
to add the same prefixes to the Qt6Config find_package PATHS option.
One would ask why do we need to adjust CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH at all then.
It's for find_package(Qt6Foo) calls to work which don't go through
the Qt6Config umbrella package.
To make the CMake re-rooting behavior happy, we need to ensure the
provided paths are absolute.
So we iterate over the values of QT_ADDITIONAL_PACKAGES_PREFIX_PATH,
to make them absolute. We do the same for the environment variable.
We need to append lib/cmake to the prefixes which are added to
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, otherwise the CMake re-rooting bug is hit.
We need to specify the Qt6 package location (${_qt_cmake_dir}) to the
PATHS option in the various Dependencies.cmake.in files, to ensure
that dependency resolution can jump around between the Qt6 dir and
the additional prefixes. Previously the dependency lookup code assumed
that all dependencies would be within the same prefix.
The same is needed for qt and qml plugin dependency lookup.

Provide two customization points:
- optionally include a 'qt.toolchain.extra.cmake' file if it exists
and is placed next to the main generated toolchain file.
This use case is mostly for the Qt installer, so that it can create
an extra file with correct installer-provided paths, instead of
patching the toolchain file directly.
- optionally include a file passed via the command line CMake argument
'QT_TOOLCHAIN_INCLUDE_FILE'.
The use case is for application developers that might want to adjust
the toolchain file after the modifications done by the Qt installer.
These options do not replace the existing QT_CHAINLOAD_TOOLCHAIN_FILE
option, which is meant to chainload a platform specific existing
toolchain file (like Android or Emscripten).

If a consumer wants to cross-compile a Qt app, they need to provide
the host Qt path location.
When building Qt in the CI we embed the Qt host path into the
generated CMake toolchain file for convenient building of other Qt
modules.
But once Qt is built, packaged and installed on a user's machine, most
likely the Qt host path will not be the same. In such a case, if the
user wants to use the convenience toolchain, they should explicitly
provide the Qt host path via the QT_HOST_PATH and
QT_HOST_PATH_CMAKE_DIR variables.
Show an error message if the values are not provided or don't exist
on the file system.
It's possible that in the future the Qt installer will patch the
toolchain file, or provide additional info, to point to the host
Qt installation so that the user doesn't have to do it manually.
But until that's done, a friendly error message is a good way to
inform the user what they should do.

While trying to implement the 'host artifact reuse' Coin instructions
change, a bug surfaced where the qemu configurations didn't find
the host tools and instead tried to use the cross-compiled tools
while building qtbase, which failed due to not finding the
runtime linker (another unsolved issue).
Before the host artifact reuse change, the host tools were found
successfully.
The difference that caused the issue is that the target install prefix
was a direct subfolder of the host prefix.
host - /home/qt/work/qt/install
target - /home/qt/work/qt/install/target
Before the host reuse change the install prefixes were as follows
host - /home/qt/work/qt/install/host
target - /home/qt/work/qt/install/target
While looking for the Qt6CoreTools package, we temporarily set
CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH and CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to contain first
'/home/qt/work/qt/install' and then '/home/qt/work/qt/install/target'.
CMake then reroots the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH values onto values in
CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH, making an MxN list of prefixes to search.
Rerooting essentially means concatenating 2 paths, unless the
considered prefix is a subfolder of the root path.
What happened was that the first considered value was
'/home/qt/work/qt/install/home/qt/work/qt/install', a non-existent
location that gets discarded.
The second considered value was '/home/qt/work/qt/install/target.
The second value is the result of seeing that
'/home/qt/work/qt/install/target' is a subfolder of
'/home/qt/work/qt/install' and thus the root path is stripped.
All of this is done in cmFindPackageCommand::FindConfig() ->
cmFindCommon::RerootPaths.
The behavior above caused the target tools be found instead of the
host ones.
Before the host reuse change, both of the initial constructed prefixes
were discared due to them not existing, e.g.
'/home/qt/work/qt/install/target/home/qt/work/qt/install/target'
and '/home/qt/work/qt/install/host/home/qt/work/qt/install/host'
One of the later prefixes combined CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH ==
'/home/qt/work/qt/install/host' + CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH == '/' resulting
in '/home/qt/work/qt/install/host/' and this accidentally found the
host tools package.
We actually stumbled upon this issue a while ago when implementing Qt
5.14 Android CMake support in 52c799ed44
That commit message mentions the fix is to add a "lib/cmake"
suffix to the PATHS option of find_package().
This would cause the subfolder => strip root behavior mentioned
above.
So finally the fix.
First, make sure not to append QT_HOST_PATH in the toolchain file,
there shouldn't be any need to do that, give that we temporarily set
it when looking for Tools packages.
Second, recreate the subdir scenario in the Qt toolchain file by
setting CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH to the current (relocated) install
prefix as usual, but also setting CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to a new value
poining to the CMake directory.
Aka '/home/alex/qt' and '/home/alex/qt/lib/cmake'.
Third, when a QT_HOST_PATH is given, save 2 paths in the generated Qt
toolchain: QT_HOST_PATH and QT_HOST_PATH_CMAKE_DIR. There are the host
equivalents of the target ones above. Use these values when looking
for host tools in Qt6CoreModuleDependencies.cmake, again facilitaing
the subdir behavior.
Note these are currently absolute paths and are not relocatable.
We'll have to figure out if it's even possible to make the host path
relocatable.
Finally as a cleanup, look for the Qt6HostInfo package in QtSetup
strictly in the given QT_HOST_PATH, so CMake doesn't accidentally find
a system Qt package.

Three different people have encountered the issue that calling
calling qt-cmake on a project prints 1000 inclusion lines of the same
qt toolchain file, and then CMake bails out saying can't find the
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM Ninja.
This happened because people accidentally called qt-cmake to configure
qtbase (instead of just cmake), which created a toolchain file that
chainloads itself recursively.
Error out when configuring qtbase, and when using the generated
toolchain file in the case when it would try to include itself.
The solution is to remove the qtbase CMakeCache.txt file, and
configure qtbase again, so it generates a proper qt.toolchain.cmake
file.
If somebody feels enthusiastic, they can move the check into the
qt-cmake and qt-cmake-private shell scripts, and error out before the
qtbase/CMakeCache.txt is polluted with the wrong toolchain file.
That is left for people that feel more comfortable with bash and batch
scripting.

Aka handle CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in a more relocatable way.
The following story inspired this change.
If a user wants to build a Qt repo into a different install prefix
than the usual Qt one, this will fail configuration because we
look for various things like syncqt, qdoc, etc relative to
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, which will now point to a different location
where none of the above tools are located.
The intent for such a use case is to support building Qt packages with
Conan, which sets a random install prefix when configuring a repo.
The idea is to derive the qt prefix dynamically from the
QtBuildInternals package location. Essentially it's a reverse relative
path from the QtBuildInternalsConfig.cmake file to the install prefix
that was specified when initially configuring qtbase.
Once the dynamic prefix is computed (so we know where the possibly
relocated Qt is), we can find tools like syncqt and qdoc.
This is an initial attempt to support a use case like that.
More design work will probably needed in case if tools / libs need to
be found in a location different than the Qt install prefix (so
support for multiple install prefixes / search paths).
An example of such a case would be when building qtdeclarative and
qtquickcontrols2 as Conan packages in one go. Most likely the
qmltyperegistrar tool will be located in the random install prefix
set by Conan, so building qtquickcontrols2 might fail due to not
finding the tool in the original Qt install prefix.
As to the implementation details, the change does the following:
- Dynamically computes and sets the
QT_BUILD_INTERNALS_RELOCATABLE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable when
find_package()'ing QtBuildInternals. It's an absolute path
pointing to where the relocated Qt is.
- When building qtbase this variable is not yet available (due
to QtBuildInternalsExtra not existing), in that case we set
the variable to the absolute path of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
(but only for the initial qtbase configuration).
- Remove QT_BUILD_INTERNALS_ORIGINAL_INSTALL_PREFIX which was used
for standalone tests purposes. It's not needed now that we compute
the location of the Qt prefix dynamically.
- The Unixy qt-cmake and qt-cmake-private shell scripts now
use a relative path to find the toolchain file we created.
- The toolchain file also dynamically computes the location of the Qt
packages, and adds them to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH.
- A lot of existing CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX uses are replaced with
QT_BUILD_INTERNALS_RELOCATABLE_INSTALL_PREFIX. This includes finding
tool locations, mkspecs dir, path environment setup for tools, etc.
- Some places still use CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH in the following cases
- When determining paths while configuring qtbase (valid cases)
- When I wasn't sure what the behavior should be, so I left them
as-is (an example is documentation generation, do we want to
install it into the random Conan prefix, or into the main prefix?
Currently it installs in the random prefix).
Note that relocating a Qt installation does not work for non-prefix /
non-installed builds, due to hardcoded paths to include directories
and libraries in generated FooTargets.cmake files.
