Remove Circle CI and dashboard branch by o01eg · Pull Request #447 · python-cmake-buildsystem/python-cmake-buildsystem

Tweak "python_common.cmake" script to fix the error reported
below. Since "ctest_empty_binary_directory" returns:
 (1) true if the directory does not exist
 (3) false if the directory exists and does NOT contain a CMakeCache.txt
this commit moves the directory creation after the "ctest_empty_binary_directory"
call.

…riable

If not set, it default to 8.

In both case build name will be prepended with "2.7.<PY_VERSION_PATCH>-".

…est-in-build-name

Indicate pull request source in CDash Build Name.

If the last commit topic includes the special comments of the form
"[cmake <ARGUMENT>]" without trailing spaces, the project will be
configured using all extracted arguments.

For example, using these comments:

[cmake -DFOO:STRING=Hello]
[cmake -DBAR:STRING=World]
[cmake -DANSWER=42 -DGOOD:STRING=Day]

The project will be built with -DFOO:STRING=Hello -DBAR=World -DANSWER=42 -DGOOD:STRING=Day

This commit will ensure CI builds (which are of type Experimental) do not
reset the source checkout to origin/master

…e < 3.1.0

This commit improve the fix introduced in 77f3479 to also work for
older version of CMake.

As explained in [1], for legacy reason setting variable like
LD_LIBRARY_PATH with paths containing spaces will not work even if
the spaces are escaped. For that reason, prefer build path without
spaces.

This commit fixes the following error:

//------------
ctest -V -C %configuration% -S "%APPVEYOR_BUILD_FOLDER%\\scripts\\appveyor_dashboard.cmake"
CMake Error at scripts/appveyor_dashboard.cmake:10 (if):

Default remains "Visual Studio 9 2008"

This is not required since the dashboard branch is checked out
within circle.yml

Follow-up of 6391889 ("cmake: Remove support for building CPython 2.7", 2025-04-28)
in which `appveyor.yml` was removed.

Since minimum required CMake version was updated in fbc3a81 ("Update minimum required CMake version from 2.8.6 to 3.13.5", 2022-01-03),
this commit partially reverts 7e11eb9 ("Ensure Experimental build do not reset the local repo when using CMake < 3.1.0", 2015-09-03)

CDash misinterprets colons (:) in the `CTEST_SITE` string, causing the
"Update" and "Configure/Build/Test" steps to appear as separate rows
in the dashboard.

This patch replaces colons with underscores as a workaround to ensure
all submission parts are grouped correctly.

Related issue: Kitware/CDash#2905

Make the build directory after using ctest_empty_binary_directory
because the command reports an error if asked to delete a directory
that exists but does not contain `CMakeCache.txt`.

Since the submission is done by part, this hook is irrelevant.
