* Allow running qbs without a profileChristian Kandeler2017-03-311-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When no profile is given and no default one exists, simply use the modules' default values. The most relevant effect of this is that users can now build for the host platform by simply typing "qbs" without having done any manual setup, if there is a compiler in the PATH. [ChangeLog] It is no longer strictly required to provide a profile. Change-Id: Ifee09d2653dfbd4ea06c59248d78e376da2f217b Reviewed-by: Jake Petroules <jake.petroules@qt.io>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ChangeLog] The "osx" value in qbs.hostOS and qbs.targetOS has been replaced with "macos". For backwards compatibility, qbs.hostOS will still contain "osx" in addition to "macos", and an error will be printed if qbs.targetOS contains "osx" but not "macos". Specifying "macos" without "osx" is allowed. These checks are subject to be removed in a future version of qbs, so update your hostOS and targetOS checks accordingly. [ChangeLog] cpp.minimumOsxVersion has been deprecated and replaced with cpp.minimumMacosVersion. cpp.minimumOsxVersion is subject to be removed in a future version of qbs, so update your projects accordingly.

* | Stop special casing qbs.buildVariant in command line handling.Jake Petroules2016-06-201-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces qbs.configurationName, which takes the place of qbs.buildVariant in the command line and acts as a unique identifier for each build configuration, rather than relying on the combination of qbs.buildVariant and the profile name to do so. No longer special casing qbs.buildVariant allows the variant to be decoupled from the build configuration, and allow scenarios where a project may contain products hardcoded for particular build variants, and in future, special debug-and-release builds which create a single framework product containing multiple build variants. Incidentally, this change allows building multiple configurations of the same build variant and profile name combination, since the build configuration is no longer keyed on the aggregate of those values. Building for different profiles with the same configuration name in parallel is now no longer possible, but this is easily worked around by simply specifying different configuration names for such combinations. For example, the following is now possible: qbs \ static profile:a qbs.buildVariant:release project.useStaticLibraries:true \ dynamic profile:a qbs.buildVariant:release project.useStaticLibraries:false [ChangeLog] Each build configuration now requires a unique name, which is specified on the command line in the same place that qbs.buildVariant used to be specified. This allows building for multiple configurations with the same variant.

* Solve the Java dependency tracking issue once and for all.Jake Petroules2015-07-091-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This approach relies on the newly introduced ability of Modules to contain Groups, which may add additional source files to a Product. In the case of the Java module, the module includes a group which adds some sources to build a helper tool on-demand for each product that builds Java source code. This deviates from the previous approach of supplying a single jar for the entire qbs distribution and is thus somewhat less efficient, but is not expected to be a critical issue in the short term. To start, it solves two critical issues: the build-time dependency on javac, which complicates the qbs build process unnecessarily, and the bootstrap class path warning due to targeting Java 1.6 with newer JDKs.
