This also drops the python wrapper for gnc-module. As for the guile wrappers,
python should use other means of loading our shared libraries.
This commit required a few tweaks to the dependency chain as some units
inherited dependency information from gnc-module's public dependency
interface.
file(COPY ) will only trigger when the destination file doesn't exist yet.
It won't retrigger on source file changes.
configure_file on the other hand will. To avoid unwanted substitution
attempts this can be invoked with the COPYONLY keyword.
Disadvantage of configure_file is that it will only take one
input file where file(COPY ) can operate on a list of files.
As such the configure_file statement has to be wrapped in a foreach.
A few uses of file(COPY ) can't be replaced as they are setting
file permissions. And the one in make_dist has been kept as that
always operates on an empty directory, hence copying is guaranteed.
The former will monitor the file for updates and copy it again
the latter will only copy the file if it doesn't exist in the destination yet
Resolves most merge conflicts. The only bit I was unable
to merge from maint into master is the use of match-lambda
in category-barchart.scm. This will have to be redone manually.
Emit appropriate deprecation warnings in case code tries to invoke the removed functions.
Only for gnc:module-load a more elaborate compat function has
been written which should allow code using this obsolete function
to continue to function. The emitted deprecation warning will
guide the user to update his/her code for future compatibility.
app-utils now is an ordinery shared library
A few bits worth mentioning:
1. it's not guile-free just yet, so instead of a gnc_module_load
your code may have to call scm_c_use_module("gnucash app-utils");
to expose the scm side of the app-utils api. This call has been
added to gnucash-bin.c for example
2. while lots of noise in this commit is to rename from gncmodule-app-utils
to gnc-app-utils, I'll point out the library has also been moved from
<libdir>/gnucash to <libdir>. This required changes in app-util's
CMakeLists.txt file for the install side and in the top level
CMakeLists.txt file for the build directory structure.
3. The C side link module test has been removed as linking an ordinary
shared library should be considered well tested by the compiler devs.
The scheme side module load test has been slightly tweaked to no longer
try to use gnc:module-load, but instead now checks whether the app-utils
api is properly exposed to scheme after loading it via use-modules.
4. Dropped a completely obsolete README file.
With that in place we no longer need to (gnc:module-load "gnucash/gnome-utils" 0)
the gnome-utils gncmodule. An ordinary (use-modules (gnucash gnome-utils)) suffices
With that in place we no longer need to (gnc:module-load "gnucash/app-utils" 0)
the app-utils gncmodule. An ordinary (use-modules (gnucash app-utils)) suffices
- move test modules into a subdirectory on Windows as well
- move the futuremod module into its own subdirectory
to avoid its load warnings each time gnc_module_init is called
That also tends to happen when building guile modules.
- remove the log handlers filtering out the futuremodsys warnings
They didn't match the actual warning signature anyway and
they're no longer emitted during testing
This is a first rudimentary separation of gnc-module tests
based on whether they require guile or not. Needs plenty of refinement
which will be applied in followup commits.
1. Instead of creating a C wrapper around gettext to then wrap in
guile, use guile's builtin gettext support directly.
The code still defines the _ and N_ shorthands. However it doesn't
really warant a separate module just for these two shorthands.
Instead define them in core-utils. So all code wanting to use
_ or N_ in guile should now use the (gnucash core-utils) module.
The bulk of this commit is actually deleting the scm-gettext
target and using (gnucash core-utils) instead of (gnucash gettext).
2. As the definition of _ and N_ is removed from app-utils.scm,
the app-utils test for a functional N_ macro has been moved to a
new test file in the guile bindinds tests.
3. The (gnucash gettext) module has been deprecated. Use
(gnucash core-utils) from now on.
This is just a cosmetic. This way the scm targets in the CMakeLists.txt
file are ordered according to their dependencies (targets later in the
file can depend on targets earlier in the file).
