Summary0015251: "The CMAKE_C_COMPILER … is not a full path and was not found in the PATH" if using CMakeDetermineSystem and toolchain file
DescriptionThere is an issue that prevents any version of freerdp to build on Gentoo using CMake 3.0.2.

At first, Gentoo's portage passes -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=gentoo_toolchain.cmake to cmake command line; gentoo_toolchain.cmake contains following:

SET (CMAKE_C_COMPILER x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc)
SET (CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++)

And when I try to build freerdp, the following message from CMake appears:

cmake --no-warn-unused-cli -C /build/tmp/portage/net-misc/freerdp-1.1.0_beta1_p20130710-r2/work/freerdp-1.1.0_beta1_p20130710_build/gentoo_common_config.cmake -G Unix Makefiles -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DWITH_ALSA=ON -DWITH_CLIENT=ON -DWITH_CUPS=OFF -DWITH_DEBUG_ALL=OFF -DWITH_MANPAGES=OFF -DWITH_DIRECTFB=OFF -DWITH_FFMPEG=OFF -DWITH_GSTREAMER=OFF -DWITH_JPEG=ON -DWITH_PULSE=ON -DWITH_SERVER=OFF -DWITH_PCSC=OFF -DWITH_SSE2=ON -DCHANNEL_URBDRC=ON -DWITH_X11=ON -DWITH_XINERAMA=ON -DWITH_XV=ON -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Gentoo -DCMAKE_INSTALL_DO_STRIP=OFF -DCMAKE_USER_MAKE_RULES_OVERRIDE=/build/tmp/portage/net-misc/freerdp-1.1.0_beta1_p20130710-r2/work/freerdp-1.1.0_beta1_p20130710_build/gentoo_rules.cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/build/tmp/portage/net-misc/freerdp-1.1.0_beta1_p20130710-r2/work/freerdp-1.1.0_beta1_p20130710_build/gentoo_toolchain.cmake /build/tmp/portage/net-misc/freerdp-1.1.0_beta1_p20130710-r2/work/freerdp-1.1.0_beta1_p20130710

CMake Error at winpr/CMakeLists.txt:20 (project):
  The CMAKE_C_COMPILER:

    x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc

  is not a full path and was not found in the PATH.

  Tell CMake where to find the compiler by setting either the environment
  variable "CC" or the CMake cache entry CMAKE_C_COMPILER to the full path to
  the compiler, or to the compiler name if it is in the PATH.



I tried to reproduce the bug with minimal CMakeLists.txt. The bug can be reproduced with the following script:

mkdir src
cat > CMakeLists.txt << "EOF"
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0.2)
project(test C)
include(CMakeDetermineSystem)
add_subdirectory(src)
EOF
cat > src/CMakeLists.txt << "EOF"
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0.2)
project(src C)
EOF
cat > toolchain.cmake << "EOF"
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc)
EOF
cmake . -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=toolchain.cmake

You will see the following output:

-- The C compiler identification is GNU 4.9.2
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -- works

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/tmp/test/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".


I think that the reason of the bug is that CMake sets CMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc after parsing toolchain file, but CMakeDetermineSystem module includes toolchain file again, and now CMAKE_C_COMPILER=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc, which leads to failure.
Steps To ReproduceLook at script above.

Having a full path to the compiler is a new requirement starting in CMake 3.0. The incompatibility was introduced across a major version number bump and is considered acceptable. The project will have to be fixed to use a full path.

It doesn't seem that having a full path to the compiler in the toolchain file is really required in CMake 3.0. At first, if you remove "include(CMakeDetermineSystem)" from CMakeLists.txt, all things work flawlessly, CMake makes absolute path to the compiler using $PATH automatically. At second, even the error message states that "The CMAKE_C_COMPILER: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc is not a full path and was not found in the PATH", so it must be either a full path or be in $PATH.

The bug appears then we include CMakeDetermineSystem, which reincludes ${CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE}, so ${CMAKE_C_COMPILER} is reassigned to relative path, and CMake does not fix the path now. So this is really a bug, either CMakeDetermineSystem should be fixed or CMake should be fixed to resolve absolute paths not only on first parsing of ${CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE}.

CMakeDetermineSystem is an internal and undocumented module. It should never be included directly by project or toolchain file code. It is loaded automatically by the project() command.

OK, thanks, if so, the bug should be filed to freerdp, which includes CMakeDetermineSystem from CMakeLists.txt.

There's still a bit of a bug: since full paths are required, the part of the error message "and was not found in the PATH." makes no sense.

Re 0015251:0038023: At the point that the diagnostic is produced a full path is required. If the user specified a tool by name then CMake might find it in the PATH and compute the proper full path prior to this check. The error message is reporting that this did not happen.
