[CMAKE] Add QT plugins according to the target platform
ClosedPublic

Authored by Fabien on May 10 2019, 11:27.

Details

Summary

If the QT build is static, add the minimal integration plugin and any
platform specific plugin depending on the target.

Depends on D3091

Test Plan
mkdir buildcmake && cd buildcmake
cmake -GNinja ..
ninja
./src/qt/bitcoin-qt

Check that bitcoin-qt runs.

rm -rf *
cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/platforms/Win64.cmake \

-DBUILD_BITCOIN_SEEDER=OFF ..

ninja

Run the generated bitcoin-qt.exe on a 64 bits Windows.

rm -rf *
cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/platforms/Win32.cmake \

-DBUILD_BITCOIN_SEEDER=OFF ..

ninja

Run the generated bitcoin-qt.exe on a 32 or 64 bits Windows.

Note: OSX build needs another fix to build.

The fact you added this here but also felt the need to create a second block based on the exact same check is quite puzzling.

208 ↗(On Diff #8593)

It's not what you are checking for

221 ↗(On Diff #8593)

Presumably, that would need this to happen also if the plugin are not static.

Move all the static build code into a single section.
Fix comments.

My understanding is that it is not necessary unless you build static.
From https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/plugins-howto.html:
Qt applications automatically know which plugins are available, because plugins are stored in the standard plugin subdirectories. Because of this applications don't require any code to find and load plugins, since Qt handles them automatically.

Why has this whole block moved ? This makes it impossible to check what actually changed. There doesn't seems to be a good reason for moving this around.

190 ↗(On Diff #8622)

You have two loops that do the exact same thing now.

It get moved with the block to keep related things together. The static dependencies file and the macro are used just below.

190 ↗(On Diff #8622)

They are looping over 2 different lists.

And the things that come together needs to be here because ?

190 ↗(On Diff #8622)

I'm fairly confident that there are way to loop over two different lists without duplicating the whole loop and loop body.

Because the bitcoin-qt-base target needs to be defined

190 ↗(On Diff #8622)

OK, I'll wrap this into some macro

src/qt/CMakeLists.txt
190 ↗(On Diff #8622)

Or better concat them then loop

There are other plateform check down bellow. It's unclear to me why the code is scattered all over the file, especially since you moved a chunk of code because

It get moved with the block to keep related things together. The static dependencies file and the macro are used just below.

38 ↗(On Diff #8709)

This code belong with what was moved down.

180 ↗(On Diff #8709)

That comment doesn't address the code that comes next.

Rebase on top of D3091.
Move comment explaining static plugins to a better place.

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.May 24 2019, 17:21
