This patch adds support for Visual Studio and Clang builds
The minimum required version of CMake is upgraded to 3.15 because
this version offers proper support for Clang builds on Windows.
Libintl is not searched for when building with Visual Studio or Clang
because there is no binary compatible version available yet.
NOTE: In the link options invalidcontinue.obj has to be included.
The reason for this is because by default, Windows calls abort()'s
instead of setting errno=EINVAL when invalid arguments are passed to
standard functions.
This commit explains it in detail:
4b623d80f73528a632576990ca51e34c333d5dd6
On Windows the default generator is Visual Studio,so for Visual Studio
builds do this:
cmake `relative-path-to-srcdir`
NOTE: Visual Studio generator is a multi config generator, which means
that Debug and Release builds can be done on the same build directory.
For Clang builds do this:
On bash
CC=clang cmake `relative-path-to-srcdir` -G Ninja
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Debug or Release]
On cmd
set CC=Clang
cmake `relative-path-to-srcdir` -G Ninja
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Debug or Release]

This patch facilitates building git on Windows with CMake using MinGW
NOTE: The funtions unsetenv and hstrerror are not checked in Windows
builds.
Reasons
NO_UNSETENV is not compatible with Windows builds.
lines 262-264 compat/mingw.h
compat/mingw.h(line 25) provides a definition of hstrerror which
conflicts with the definition provided in
git-compat-util.h(lines 733-736).
To use CMake on Windows with MinGW do this:
cmake `relative-path-to-srcdir` -G "MinGW Makefiles"

This patch allows git to be tested when performin out of source builds.
This involves changing GIT_BUILD_DIR in t/test-lib.sh to point to the
build directory. Also some miscellaneous copies from the source directory
to the build directory.
The copies are:
t/chainlint.sed needed by a bunch of test scripts
po/is.po needed by t0204-gettext-rencode-sanity
mergetools/tkdiff needed by t7800-difftool
contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh needed by t9903-bash-prompt
contrib/completion/git-completion.bash needed by t9902-completion
contrib/svn-fe/svnrdump_sim.py needed by t9020-remote-svn
NOTE: t/test-lib.sh is only modified when tests are run not during
the build or configure.
The trash directory is still srcdir/t

This patch provides an alternate way to test git using ctest.
CTest ships with CMake, so there is no additional dependency being
introduced.
To perform the tests with ctest do this after building:
ctest -j[number of jobs]
NOTE: -j is optional, the default number of jobs is 1
Each of the jobs does this:
cd t/ && sh t[something].sh
The reason for using CTest is that it logs the output of the tests
in a neat way, which can be helpful during diagnosis of failures.
After the tests have run ctest generates three log files located in
`build-directory`/Testing/Temporary/
These log files are:
CTestCostData.txt:
This file contains the time taken to complete each test.
LastTestsFailed.log:
This log file contains the names of the tests that have failed in the
run.
LastTest.log:
This log file contains the log of all the tests that have run.
A snippet of the file is given below.
10/901 Testing: D:/my/git-master/t/t0009-prio-queue.sh
10/901 Test: D:/my/git-master/t/t0009-prio-queue.sh
Command: "sh.exe" "D:/my/git-master/t/t0009-prio-queue.sh"
Directory: D:/my/git-master/t
"D:/my/git-master/t/t0009-prio-queue.sh"
Output:
----------------------------------------------------------
ok 1 - basic ordering
ok 2 - mixed put and get
ok 3 - notice empty queue
ok 4 - stack order
passed all 4 test(s)
1..4
<end of output>
Test time = 1.11 sec
NOTE: Testing only works when building in source for now.

Install the built binaries and scripts using CMake
This is very similar to `make install`.
By default the destination directory(DESTDIR) is /usr/local/ on Linux
To set a custom installation path do this:
cmake `relative-path-to-srcdir`
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`preferred-install-path`
Then run `make install`

Implement the placeholder substitution to generate scripted
Porcelain commands, e.g. git-request-pull out of
git-request-pull.sh
Generate shell/perl/python scripts and template using CMake instead of
using sed like the build procedure in the Makefile does.
The text translations are only build if `msgfmt` is found in your path.
NOTE: The scripts and templates are generated during configuration.

At the moment, the recommended way to configure Git's builds is to
simply run `make`. If that does not work, the recommended strategy is to
look at the top of the `Makefile` to see whether any "Makefile knob" has
to be turned on/off, e.g. `make NO_OPENSSL=YesPlease`.
Alternatively, Git also has an `autoconf` setup which allows configuring
builds via `./configure [<option>...]`.
Both of these options are fine if the developer works on Unix or Linux.
But on Windows, we have to jump through hoops to configure a build
(read: we force the user to install a full Git for Windows SDK, which
occupies around two gigabytes (!) on disk and downloads about three
quarters of a gigabyte worth of Git objects).
The build infrastructure for Git is written around being able to run
make, which is not supported natively on Windows.
To help Windows developers a CMake build script is introduced here.
With a working support CMake, developers on Windows need only install
CMake, configure their build, load the generated Visual Studio solution
and immediately start modifying the code and build their own version of
Git. Likewise, developers on other platforms can use the convenient GUI
tools provided by CMake to configure their build.
So let's start building CMake support for Git.
This is only the first step, and to make it easier to review, it only
allows for configuring builds on the platform that is easiest to
configure for: Linux.
The CMake script checks whether the headers are present(eg. libgen.h),
whether the functions are present(eg. memmem), whether the funtions work
properly (eg. snprintf) and generate the required compile definitions
for the platform. The script also searches for the required libraries,
if it fails to find the required libraries the respective executables
won't be built.(eg. If libcurl is not found then git-remote-http won't
be built). This will help building Git easier.
With a CMake script an out of source build of git is possible resulting
in a clean source tree.
Note: this patch asks for the minimum version v3.14 of CMake (which is
not all that old as of time of writing) because that is the first
version to offer a platform-independent way to generate hardlinks as
part of the build. This is needed to generate all those hardlinks for
the built-in commands of Git.
