Our previous mangling of gettext broke the `HAVE_WORKING_LIBINTL` test
because it prevented CMake from finding `libintl.h`. Let's fix that by
linking Gettext's `include` directory into `/usr/local` too.
GPerf gets upset at our attempts to build a universal binary.
Conveniently, macOS provides GPerf, so we don't need to build it.
This is a workaround for the 0.7.1 branch which still depends on
gperf, to get the release CI working. In master we don't use gperf anymore.
After some tweaks to our dep builds, we can now build a universal binary
for macOS by using `CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES`. So, let's do that. This
requires a number of additional changes:
1. We need to build on macOS 11, since earlier versions do not support
building universal (M1 + Intel) binaries.
2. We need to provision a universal `libintl`. The linker will look for
an ARM64 version of this library when linking the `nvim` binary.
While we're here:
1. Link statically to `libintl`. This allows to to avoid having to do
any install name rewriting or codesigning to package Neovim.
2. Bump the `MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET` to `11`. We're already using a
`libintl` built by Homebrew (through the pre-installed version of
`gettext`), and that is built for macOS 11.
In order to ensure we link to `libintl.a` instead of `libintl.dylib`, we
have to make sure that CMake can't find the latter. This ideally should
be a matter of doing `brew unlink gettext`. However, CMake is too adept
at finding things that Homebrew has installed (even when not linked), so
we have to do a bit more than that. This appears in the additional step
ensuring static linkage to `libintl`.
We end up breaking some Homebrew-installed software in the process, and
some of these software is called during our build (e.g. curl, git,
wget). To avoid any adverse effects, let's just uninstall them.
Problem:
The release script bundles a system library (CoreServices) that was
added in #18294, which leads to errors on M1 since the architecture is
different from the Github runner.
Solution:
Skip CoreServices when bundling the libraries (as was done for the
CoreFoundation library that #18294 replaced with CoreServices).
- Removed NSIS installer.
- Prevents undefined behaviour when two installations are performed to the same directory (NSIS + MSI).
- Reduced cost of maintaining two installers that do the same thing.
- Chose Wix MSI due to its better integration with Windows.
- Added Wix patch file to add neovim binaries to the system path during installation.
- Replaced neovim installer icons with better looking versions.
- Renamed neovim installer icons from logo.ico -> neovim.ico for all
icons to better reflect contents.
1. Add new pattern `runtime/doc/**`. This is a common case were the
contributor modifies only the help file but the doc gen would discard
their changes.
2. Add to the output what the changes after running doc gen would be.

Repurpose the api-docs workflow to also run in all PR's but work only as
a check, if the changes in the PR introduce doc changes that are not
committed fail.

Addresses: #12571
- Added the following installers through CMake files:
- Windows NSIS.
- Windows MSI.
- Windows zip.
- MacOs tarball.
- Linux tarball.
- Linux Deb package.
- Tweaked pipeline CPack commands to build using new CMakeLists.txt configuration file.
- Added icons and relevant packaging files.
- Updated notes.md to reflect new installation instructions.
This isn't meant to be the perfect solution, it's simply a first pass at using a
simple packaging system to build Windows installers. A Debian package has also
been added since it's very easy but other packages have been left out due to
limiting the scope. Hopefully we can build further upon this and improve it
over time with code signing, better icons and more user-friendly installation
graphics and so on.
The VS 2019 CMake generator no longer has different generator types for
different architectures. Now, the architecture is specified via CMake's
`-A` switch. However, this requires we also propagate
`${CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM}` to the bundled deps, so they build for the
same architecture as Nvim.
“make clint-full” bypasses the normal mechanisms used to communicate
build flags in the CI jobs, so explicitly build nvim before running the
lint jobs.
