improve lib and other stuff bundling on windows
- export bundling code from cmake to a dedicated script
- trigger gtk theme/engine bundling on libgtk bundling
- also bundle hicolor icons
- now use
ntldd
on msys2 instead ofldd
so it also work when building 32bit build on 64 windows - the bundling script may be extended for other OSes
- the script now avoids to bundle
.a
and otherinclude
files. - store dll in lib subdirectory, bundle all of them at once
about the lib
subdirectory:
instead of finding and copying the dll each time a binary is produced,
the path of the produced binary is stored in a unique file (to avoid race
condition) and the target for that binary is added as a dependency to a new
target named bundle
that does the finding and the copying once for all.
this avoids race condition while building targets in parallel, workaround
the inability of cmake
to track a common list between all targets and to keep
it from configure to build step
this makes the bundle process more reliable and avoid things being copied
twice. Before that I've seen copy processes starting to copy the same file
even with the -n
option telling to not copy if the file exists, then seeing
one of them failing because they both started when the file was not yet
copied but one finished the copy before the other one
this also makes the bundling faster by only doing things once for all
the dll are then moved to a lib/
subdirectory instead of the root
of the buld directory
each binary having dll to find and copy is built with a special resource file embedding a manifest telling there is an assembly directory containing dll named lib, then a manifest is writen for that assembly directory listing all the dll it can find there telling windows to look for them there at binary loading instead of the system directory and the place right to binary
this:
- helps to ensure the right dll is loaded even if another exists with the same name on the system
- reduce the mess by storing all dll in one dedicated directory
- avoids the double cmake configure run by removing the need to glob the build directory before installation
