NAME

ecm-common.eclass - Standalone CMake calling std. ECM macros to install common files only.

DESCRIPTION

This eclass is used for installing common files of packages using ECM macros, most of the time translations, but optionally also icons and kcfg files. This is mainly useful for packages split from a single upstream tarball, or for collision handling of slotted package versions, which need to share a common files package. Conventionally we will use ${PN}-common for these split packages.

FUNCTIONS

ecm-common_inject_heredoc: Override this to inject custom Heredoc into the root CMakeLists.txt
ecm-common-check_deps: Override this to add more KF6 has_version checks to pkg_setup(), corresponding with any additional KF6_BDEPEND defined pre-inherit. If false, we'll assume KF5 dependencies are fulfilled via BDEPEND.
ecm-common_pkg_setup: If KFMIN is not lower than 5.240 (default is 6.0.0), do nothing. Otherwise, dDetermine which of KF5 or KF6-based depgraph is complete, preferring KF6. The result is stored in _KFSLOT, which is then handed to CMakeLists.txt as KFSLOT var for further use.
ecm-common_src_prepare: Wrapper for cmake_src_prepare with a Heredoc replacing the standard root CMakeLists.txt file to only generate and install translations.
ecm-common_src_configure: Passes -DQT_MAJOR_VERSION=${_KFSLOT} only.

ECLASS VARIABLES

KFMIN: Minimum version of Frameworks to require. Default value for kde-frameworks is ${PV} and 6.0.0 baseline for everything else. If set to <5.240, it is assumed dependencies are fulfilled by KF5/Qt5 alternatively, thus a block of SLOT=5 shadow dependencies added.
KF5_BDEPEND (SET BEFORE INHERIT): Dynamic KF5 dependency list.
KF6_BDEPEND (SET BEFORE INHERIT): Dynamic KF6 dependency list.
ECM_I18N ?= true (SET BEFORE INHERIT): Will accept "true" (default) or "false". If set to "false", do nothing. Otherwise, add kde-frameworks/ki18n:* to BDEPEND, find KF[56]I18n and let ki18n_install(po) generate and install translations.
ECM_HANDBOOK ?= false (SET BEFORE INHERIT): Will accept "true" or "false" (default). If set to "false", do nothing. Otherwise, add "+handbook" to IUSE, add kde-frameworks/kdoctools:* to BDEPEND find KF[56]DocTools in CMake, call add_subdirectory(ECM_HANDBOOK_DIRS) and let let kdoctools_install(po) generate and install translated docbook files.
ECM_HANDBOOK_DIRS (SET BEFORE INHERIT): Default is "doc" which is correct for the vast majority of packages. Specifies one or more directories containing untranslated docbook file(s) relative to ${S} to be added via add_subdirectory.
ECM_INSTALL_FILES: Array of <file>:<destination_path> tuples to install by CMake via install(FILES <file> DESTINATION <destination_path>)
ECM_INSTALL_ICONS: Array of <icon>:<icon_install_dir> tuples to feed to ECMInstallIcons via ecm_install_icons(ICONS <icon> DESTINATION <icon_install_dir)
ECM_KCM_TARGETS (SET BEFORE INHERIT): Array of <target>:<subdir> tuples to feed to ECMInstallIcons via ecmcommon_generate_desktop_file(<target> <subdir>), which is this eclass adaptation of kcmutils_generate_desktop_file.
