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.
- Remove unused code
- Use consistent casing. Variable names such as LibLuV_LIBRARIES is
needlessly jarring, even if the name might be technically correct.
- Use title casing for packages. find_package(unibilium) requires the
find_module to be named "Findunibilium.cmake", which makes it harder
to spot when scanning the files. Instead, use "Unibilium".
Large parts the library weren't being used, and the parts that were was overly
abstracted for our use case. Additionally, part of its use case was to abstract
pkgconfig boilerplate, which is no longer needed as pkgconfig has been removed
in favor of relying on cmake alone in 09118052ce.
Replace old-school cmake with the so-called "Modern CMake", meaning
preferring using targets and properties over directory settings and
variables. This allows greater flexibility, robustness and clarity over
how the code works.
The following deprecated commands will be replaced with their modern
alternatives that operates on a specific target, rather than all targets
in the current directory:
- add_compile_options -> target_compile_options
- include_directories -> target_include_directories
- link_libraries -> target_link_libraries
- add_definitions -> target_compile_definitions
There are mainly four main targets that we currently use: nvim, libnvim,
nvim-test (used by unittests) and ${texe} (used by
check-single-includes). The goal is to explicitly define the
dependencies of each target fully, rather than having everything be
dependent on everything else.
