This simplifies things a little. Building liblzma with VS2013 probably
still worked but building the command line tools was not supported.
Microsoft ended support for VS2013 on 2024-04.
Make the available options and their behavior match
--enable-symbol-versions in configure.ac.
Don't enable symbol versions on Linux if not using glibc. Previously
the generic variant was selected on Microblaze or if using NVHPC
without checking that libc is glibc.
Leave the cache variable to "auto" or "yes" if that was specified
instead of setting it to the autodetected value by default. A downside
is that one cannot easily see which variant the autodetection code
has selected. The same applies to XZ_SANDBOX and XZ_THREADS though.
Also clarify that "yes" will fail if no threading support is found.
If no threading is wanted, it has to be disabled manually.
configure.ac doesn't behave this way at the moment. Instead it
assumes pthreads to be present if not targeting Windows. If pthreads
actually are missing, the build fails later.
The list was copied from configure.ac and should be kept in sync.
(Pretend that the deleted comment in CMakeLists.txt didn't exist.)
There is no need to add equivalent of --enable-werror as CMake >= 3.24
supports -DCMAKE_COMPILE_WARNING_AS_ERROR=ON.
This is for consistency with 4c81c9611f8b2e1ad65eb7fa166afc570c58607e
where \040 has to be used because \0x20F gets interpret at three hex
digits. Octals escapes are never longer than three digits.
Now "crc32" is in the list too for completeness but it doesn't
actually have any effect. The description of the cache variable
says that "crc32 is always built" so it should be clear enough.
Update the description too.
It affects creation of not only the legacy lzma, unlzma, lzcat symlinks
but also lzgrep and other legacy names for the scripts. The last
LZMA Utils release was made in 2008 but these names are still used
in some places to handle .lzma files.
Also update the description to mention that this affects installation
of translated man pages too.
Prefixing the cache variables with the project name helps if
the package is used as a subproject in another package.
It also makes the package-specific options group more nicely
in ccmake and cmake-gui.
This way pthread options aren't passed to the linker when linking
against shared liblzma but they are still passed when linking against
static liblzma. (Also, one never needs the include path of the
threading library to use liblzma since liblzma's API headers
don't #include <pthread.h>. But <pthread.h> tends to be in the
default include path so here this change makes no difference.)
One cannot mix target_link_libraries() calls that use the scope
(PRIVATE, PUBLIC, or INTERFACE) keyword and calls that don't use it.
The calls without the keyword are like PUBLIC except perhaps when
they aren't, or something like that... It seems best to always
specify a scope keyword as the meanings of those three keywords
at least are clear.
This shouldn't make much difference in practice as on Windows
no flags are needed anyway and unitialized variable (when threading
is disabled) expands to empty. But it's clearer this way.
Now liblzma.pc can be relocatable only if using CMake >= 3.20
but that should be OK as now we shouldn't get broken liblzma.pc
if CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR or CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR contain an
absolute path.
Thanks to Eli Schwartz.
This reverts commit 5d1c649ba9eb7a5b9371252ebfbc2911dc774e69.
While CMAKE_INSTALL_<dir> tend to be relative paths, they don't need
to be. Thus the commit was broken. A fancier method is required.
Thanks to Eli Schwartz for the bug report and explanation.
There is no need to make a similar change in configure.ac.
With Autoconf 2.72, the deprecated macro AC_PROG_CC_C99
is an alias for AC_PROG_CC which prefers a C11 compiler.
The C code is from Christian Weisgerber, I merely reordered the OSes.
Then I added the build system checks without testing them.
Also thanks to Brad Smith who submitted a similar patch on GitHub
a few hours after Christian had sent his via email.

This way the version string gets into xzgrep and other scripts
in full and also into liblzma.pc.
For the project() command, a suffixless string is required though.
liblzma_VERSION has never existed in the repository. xz_VERSION from
the project() command was used for liblzma SOVERSION so use xz_VERSION
here too.
The wrong variable did no harm in practice as PROJECT_VERSION
was used as the fallback. It has the same value as xz_VERSION.

This is a mess because liblzma DLL outside Cygwin and MSYS2
is liblzma.dll instead of lzma.dll to avoid a conflict with
lzma.dll from LZMA SDK.
On Cygwin the name was "liblzma-5.dll" while "cyglzma-5.dll"
would have been correct (and match what Libtool produces).
MSYS2 likely was broken too as it uses the "msys-" prefix.
This change has no effect with MinGW-w64 because with that
the "lib" prefix was correct already.
With MSVC builds this is a small breaking change that requires developers
to adjust the library name when linking against liblzma. The liblzma.dll
name is kept as is but the import library and static library are now
lzma.lib instead of liblzma.lib. This is helpful when using pkgconf
because "pkgconf --msvc-syntax --libs liblzma" outputs "lzma.lib"
(it's converted from "-llzma" in liblzma.pc). It would be easy to
keep the liblzma.lib naming but the pkgconf compatibility seems worth
it in the long run. The lzma.lib name is compatible with MinGW-w64
too as -llzma will find also lzma.lib.
vcpkg had been patching CMakeLists.txt this way since 2022 but I
learned this only recently. The reasoning for the patch makes sense,
and while this is a small breaking change with MSVC, it seems like
a decent compromise as it keeps the DLL name the same.
2022 patch in vcpkg: 0707a17ecf/ports/liblzma/win_output_name.patch

Thanks to Vincent Torri for confirming the naming issue on Cygwin.
One has to pass -DENABLE_X86_ASM=ON to cmake to enable the
CRC assembly code. Autodetection isn't done. Looking at
CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR might not work as it comes from uname
unless cross-compilation is done using a CMake toolchain file.
On top of this, if the code is run on modern processors that support
the CLMUL instruction, then the C code should be faster (but then
one should also be using a x86-64 build if possible).
This is disabled by default to match the default in Autotools.
Use -DUSE_DOXYGEN=ON to enable Doxygen usage.
This uses the update-doxygen script, thus this is under if(UNIX)
although Doxygen itself can run on Windows too.
