Bump the CMake version requirement, fix Windows
- Add a missing runtime library for gettext-tools.
 - Remove the no longer necessary customized FindGettext.cmake,
   since the downloaded gettext binaries are new enough.
 - Make the installer at least ask to uninstall previous versions.
 - Adjust the PATH of tests so that they'll run on Windows directly.
 - Fix quoting so that the project will build inside paths with spaces.
 - Resolve a GSettings deprecation warning.
 - Update the README's build instructions as appropriate.
 - Require CMake 3.9 because of the README's suggestion to fix
   FindPkgConfig.cmake manually using separate_arguments(UNIX_COMMAND).

Tested build configurations:
 - native Arch Linux,
 - native Windows XP with the newest NSIS,
 - Arch Linux Mingw-w64 i686 Win32Depends.cmake NSIS cross-build + XP,
 - Arch Linux Mingw-w64 x86_64 MSYS2 NSIS cross-build + Windows 10.

Detected issues:
 - The file save dialog will not add the extension automatically,
   seen with MSYS2.

logdiag

logdiag is a simple multiplatform schematic editor written in GTK+.

This software has never really been finished, and is no longer being worked on.

Packages

Regular releases are sporadic. git master should be stable enough. You can get a package with the latest development version from Archlinuxs AUR.

Requirements

Runtime dependencies: GTK+ >= 3.8, json-glib >= 0.10.4, lua >= 5.2
Build dependencies: CMake >= 3.9

Build from source on Unix-like systems

First check that you have all the required dependencies installed, including development packages, if your distribution provides them.

Reserve a directory for an out-of-source build:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build

Let CMake prepare the build. You may change the directory where you want the application to be installed. The default is /usr/local.

$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr

Now you have two basic choices of installing the application.

Using make install

# make install

Using cpack

You have to choose a package format understood by your system package manager. CMake offers DEB and RPM.

After cpack finishes making the package, install this file.

$ cpack -G DEB
# dpkg -i logdiag-version-system-arch.deb

Build from source on Windows

Note that with the current method were stuck with GTK+ 3.8.2.

First install CMake and MinGW. Add both to your system path. If you want to build an installation package, also install NSIS. If you want to build within a path containing spaces, fix your FindPkgConfig.cmake to say:

separate_arguments(_pkgconfig_invoke_result UNIX_COMMAND "${_pkgconfig_invoke_result}")

Run the following command in the directory with source files to automatically fetch and setup all dependencies (contact me if the script becomes obsolete, its easy to fix but I usually update it only just a short while before releasing a new version in order to resolve compatibility issues):

> cmake -P Win32Depends.cmake

Note that Windows XP is no longer able to reliably download from HTTPS sources.

Reserve a directory for an out-of-source build:

> mkdir build
> cd build

Let CMake prepare the build:

> cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Now you can generate a package with CPack. You may choose between:

  1. An NSIS-based installation package:

    > cpack -G NSIS
  2. A portable ZIP package:

    > cpack -G ZIP

By default, that is if you specify no generator, both packages are built.

Cross-compilation for Windows

The procedure is almost exactly the same as before, including the requirements. Just install MinGW-w64 and let automation take care of the rest.

$ cmake -P Win32Depends.cmake
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. \
  -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../ToolchainCrossMinGWW64.cmake \
  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
$ cpack

Alternatively, for an unnecessarily bloated MSYS2-based 64-bit build:

$ sh Win64Depends.sh
$ cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=ToolchainCrossWin64.cmake \
  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -B build
$ cmake --build buildpackage
