[Ktechlab-devel] some cmake magic

[Julian Bäume]

hi,
I just pushed some cmake code into a cmake_magic branch. Can you test it and 
tell me, if it still compiles for you and you are able to load our plugins? It 
works okay for me.

I did a little trick to find out the plugin version. If this works, I will 
propose this solution to the KDevelop people and ask them to export a cmake 
variable in their FindKDevPlatform.cmake script.

Since this plugin versions purpose is to force a recompilation of the module 
before it can be loaded, this solution should work fine. If the API has been 
changed, it won't compile and has to be fixed to apply the new API. If nothing 
important has changed for the plugin, it should compile fine and the desktop 
file will be updated regarding the installed kdevplatform version.

I will ask on the kdevelop ML later, if this could make any problems (along 
with the proposal to integrate these changes) and if this works okay for both 
of us, we should use it. This should make life with different versions more 
easy for us developers. We only have to make sure, our code compiles with all 
stable releases of kdevplatform that we support. This is some testing-work 
todo, but we would have done that, anyway.

There is one open issue, I want to fix, before merging this into kde4-port 
branch. For now, we need 2 lines of cmake code to generate and install the 
desktop file for a plugin. I want to write a macro that takes the desktop 
filename as a parameter and creates these 2 lines. I thought about something 
like "ktl_install_desktop( ktlproject.desktop)" which will then expand to 
configure_file(....) install(....) commands.

bye then
