The docdir flag needs to include `PROJECT_NAME` according to [GNU guidelines]. We are passing
`-DCMAKE_INSTALL_DOCDIR=${!outputDoc}/share/doc/${shareDocName}` but `$shareDocName` was unset.
The `multiple-outputs.sh` setup hook actually only defines `shareDocName` as a local variable
so it was not available for cmake setup hook. Making it global would be of limited usability,
since it primarily tries to extract the project name from configure script.
Additionally, it would not be set because the setup hook defines `setOutputFlags=`,
preventing the function defining `shareDocName` from running. And lastly, the function
would not run for single-output derivations.
Previously, we tried [not disabling `setOutputFlags`] and passing the directory flags
only for multi-output derivations that do not disable `setOutputFlags` but that meant having
two different branches of code, making it harder to check correctness. The multi-output
one did in fact not work due to aforementioned undefined `shareDocName`. It also broke
derivations that set `setOutputFlags=` like [`qtModule` function does] (probably
because some Qt modules have configure scripts incompatible with `configureFlags` defined
by `multiple-outputs.sh` setup hook). For that reason, it was [reverted], putting us back to start.
Let’s try to extract the project name from CMake in the cmake setup hook.
CMake has a `-L` flag for dumping variables but `PROJECT_NAME` did not seem to be among them
when I tested, so I had to resort to parsing the `CMakeLists.txt` file.
The extraction function is limited, it does not deal with
* project name on different line from the `project(` command opening
- that will just not get matched so we will fall back to
using the derivation name
* variable interpolation
- we will just fall back to using derivation name when the extracted
`project_name` contains a dollar character
* multiple [`project`] commands
- The command sets `PROJECT_NAME` variable anew with each call, so the
last `project` call before `include(GNUInstallDirs)` command will be used
when the included module would [cache the `CMAKE_INSTALL_DOCDIR` variable].
We will just take the first discovered `project` command for simplicity.
Hopefully, there are not many projects that use multiple `project` calls
before including `GNUInstallDirs`.
In either case, we will have some subdirectory so the conflicts will be minimized.

This reverts commit be1b22538a.
The commit broke Qt modules using CMake because they disable setOutputFlags.
There is no need to have these flags limited to multiple output derivations since it
should just work. If it does not, it is a bug that should be fixed as per
https://github.com/jtojnar/cmake-snips#assuming-cmake_install_dir-is-relative-path
Likewise, having a variable to disable passing the flags is also unnecessary,
since CMake, unlike some configure scripts, ignores unknown flags. And if a person
does not like the values, they can just override them by passing the offending
flag with a different value to cmakeFlags.
This brings cmake inline with the behaviour used for configure
scripts, defined in multiple-outputs.sh. It's important because
that setup hook will only set shareDocName if multiple outputs are in
use (and setOutputFlags hasn't been disabled). So previously,
CMAKE_INSTALL_DOCDIR would be set to $out/share/doc for single-output
derivations, instead of $out/share/doc/$shareDocName, which would
result in collisions.
Since this hook now uses the setOutputFlags variable, I had to remove
the empty assignment of it added in
a714284d8b.
Fixes: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/82304
When dontUseCmakeBuildDir is true (aka the default), it overrides
cmakeDir regardless of the package configuration.
While packaging netbee, I needed to both keep dontUseCmakeBuildDir to
true (some hardcoded paths expect the build folder) and set cmakeDir
(since CMakeList.txt was in a subfolder) which proved impossible.
Here is the fix.
The hack of using `crossConfig` to enforce stricter handling of
dependencies is replaced with a dedicated `strictDeps` for that purpose.
(Experience has shown that my punning was a terrible idea that made more
difficult and embarrising to teach teach.)
Now that is is clear, a few packages now use `strictDeps`, to fix
various bugs:
- bintools-wrapper and cc-wrapper
set CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH, CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH based on NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE and
NIX_LDFLAGS so that cmake's find_library like functions find all the libraries
gcc knows about thanks to the gcc wrapper
This is particular useful with myEnvFun which then also sets those CMAKE_* env
variables.`
Because setup.sh has to change this causes many rebuilds - thus it should be
included in a stdenv-update like branch
Also cmake builds in parallel perfectly fine
update cmake to latest minor number, I didn't change the patches,
just reapplied them manually recordin a new patch
projects to be built in Release by default.
Some packages were not getting optimisation flags, like rigsofrods.
