Ensure bundled libraries and include directories are always searched
first before any others. This will provide a more consistent experience
as the search order of the builtin find_ functions can vary depending on
system. This should make the build process faster when building with
bundled deps as we limit the search to only the .deps directory.
Separating the search between .deps and everything makes debugging
find_-related problems simpler if you need to check how dependencies are
found.
For libraries, we divide the search process into the following order:
1. Only search in .deps directory and only search for static libraries.
2. Only search in .deps directory and search for all libraries.
3. Search everywhere and search for all libraries.
Make an exception for FindLibintl.cmake as changing the search order
seems to break some tests on macos.
- simplify lua interpreter search
- fix incorrect variable name in BuildLua.cmake
- build PUC Lua with -O2
- silence non-mandatory find_package search for libuv
- simplify Find modules
- Prefer using the explicitly set CI_BUILD over relying on the
environment variable "CI".
Switch to a rolling release, so the `0-beta3` suffix is dropped in favor
of the date. Remove the custom UNIX command as the symlink is now
created by the LuaJIT Makefile.
Neovim QT was originally bundled on Windows as a response to the then
lackluster terminal options. The situation has dramatically changed,
with viable options such as Windows terminal, Alacritty and Wezterm to
name a few. The Windows build no longer needs this special treatment for
neovim to be usable.
Pros:
- Release builds will be smaller.
- Less maintenance burden.
- Clearer separation of responsibility (neovim issues go to the neovim
repo and neovim-qt issues to the neovim-qt repo).
- More consistent treatment between platforms.
Cons:
- Users who've come to expect neovim-qt to be bundled with nvim will
need to adjust and download neovim-qt from
https://github.com/equalsraf/neovim-qt instead.
- Similarly, build scripts will need to be adjusted to reflect this
change.
Closes https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/21209.
libvterm v0.3 supports reflow of terminal buffer when Nvim is resized
Since v0.3 is now a required dependency, enable it by default to find
(and fix) possible issues.
Note: Neovim's scrollback buffer does not support reflow (yet), so lines
vanishing into the buffer due to a too small window will be restored
without reflow.
Uncrustify is sensitive to version changes, which causes friction for
contributors that doesn't have that exact version. It's also simpler to
download and install the correct version than to have bespoke version
checking.
