Previously the FindWrap modules checked for hardcoded features
when deciding whether to use a bundled library or not. This proved
not to work correctly because features were not available when
the find modules were processed.
Introduce a new CMake API call that needs to be manually called
after an add_subdirectory call which declares a bundled library.
The call will check for the existence of the bundled target, and will
then set a cache variable QT_USE_BUNDLED_Bundled<TargetName>.
The same variable is written into a FindWrapFooConfigExtra.cmake file
which will be loaded by the appropriate FindWrap module. The module
can that use that variable to decided whether to link against the
bundled library or the system library.

A few things are needed to accomplish that:
- the python scripts do not ignore certain system_foo features anymore
(it is a hardcoded list for now just to be safe)
- configurejson2cmake now outputs
qt_find_package(WrapSystemFoo) calls for bundled libraries
(see below)
- the harfbuzz .pro file is modified to accommodate pro2cmake
not being able to correctly parse some conditional scopes
- the freetype .pro file is modified to make sure linking of the
library succeeds without duplicate symbol errors, which qmake
doesn't encounter due to magical exclusion of cpp files that are
included in other cpp files (presumably for include moc_foo.cpp
support)
- feature evaluation for Core, Gui, Network now happens in the
qtbase/src directory, so that bundled libraries can be conditionally
built
- for each bundled library there are now two FindWrap scripts:
- FindWrapSystemFoo which finds an installed library in the system
- FindWrapFoo which either uses the system installed library or
the built bundled one depending on a condition
- projects that intend to use bundled libraries need to link against
WrapFoo::WrapFoo instead of WrapSystemFoo::WrapSystemFoo targets
(this is handled by pro2cmake).
Unfortunately manually added qt_find_package(WrapFoo) calls might
still be needed as is the case for WrapFreetype and others.
- a new cmake/QtFindWrapHelper.cmake file is added that provides
a macro to simplify creation of WrapFoo targets that link against
a bundled or system library. The implementation is fairly ugly
due to CMake macro constraints, but it was deemed better than
copy-pasting a bunch of almost identical code across all
FindWrapFoo.cmake files.
- a qtzlib header-only module is now created when using bundled
zlib, to provide public syncqt created headers for consumers
that need them. These are projects that have
'QT_PRIVATE += zlib-private' in their .pro files
(e.g. qtimageformats, qtlocation, qt3d, etc.)
This is unfortunately needed due to QtNetwork using zlib
types in its private C++ API.
The change includes support for building the following bundled
libraries:
- zlib
- libpng
- libjpeg
- Freetype
- Harfbuzz-ng
- PCRE2
The following 3rd party libraries are still using an old
implementation within the CMake build system, and should be migrated
to the new one in the near future:
- double-conversion
- Old harfbuzz
The are a few libraries that are not yet ported:
- system-sqlite
- systemxcb
- maybe others
Among other things, this change allows building qtbase on Windows
without requiring vcpkg.

Hunter has recently added aliased target names that conform with upstream
CMake find module target names.
Extended the WrapFreetype to work with Hunter's freetype (lowercase) package
name.

vcpkg and upstream CMake find module define different target names for
the same package. To circumvent this, create our own Wrap find module,
and link against it. Inside the find module, try both target names.
