The following changes were tested against building with a master copy.
For a more detailed report, please read the followings below:
The flags that were checked were the ones checked by default + the following:
ASSIMP_BUILD_ASSIMP_VIEW
ASSIMP_BUILD_SAMPLES
The list of compilable projects in Visual Studio were the following:
- assimp
- assimp_cmd
- assimp_simpleogl
- assimp_simpletextureddirectx11
- assimp_simpletexturedogl
- assimp_viewer
- INSTALL
- IrrXML
- uninstall
- unit
- UpdateAssimpLibsDebugSymbolsAndDLLs
- ZERO_CHECK
- zlib
- zlibstatic
The solution that was generated with the new changes comprised the same number of projects as the one from the master, unmodified. All projects except UpdateAssimpLibsDebugSymbolsAndDLLs were built without any error. All tests were run.
UpdateAssimpLibsDebugSymbolsAndDLLs could not be built because of the reasons explained in issue #3004.
The following changes were tested with the following projects:
- assimp DLL
- unit tests
- tools/assimp_cmd
- tools/assimp viewer
- samples/SimpleOpenGL
- samples/SimpleTexturedDirectx11
- samples/SimpleTexturedOpenGL
For each program listed above, the results were tested when (CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR STREQUAL CMAKE_BINARY_DIR) is true and false.
Also, the "lib" in SET (CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY "${CMAKE_HOME_DIRECTORY}/lib") was changed to "bin" to allow DLLs to be written to executables/launchables programs directory.
Changed copyright end year to 2020 in every reference "Copyright (c) 2006-XXXX, assimp team".
Changed copyright end year to 2020 in every reference "Copyright (c) 2006-XXXX, ASSIMP Development Team".
Changed copyright end year to 2020 in LICENCE.rtf.
Changed copyright end year in CMakeFiles.txt files and any other places referencing Assimp with a copyright start and end year.
Instead of using if(ON)/if(OFF) to determine which of the "hardcoded"
add_library(... SHARED ...) or (... STATIC ...) should be used,
specify a new BUILD_LIB_TYPE variable that is set directly to either
SHARED or STATIC and substituted in the `add_library()` statement
when assimpTargets.cmake.in is configured.
This removes a CMP0012 collision with prior `cmake_policy(VERSION 2.6)`
statement and makes the CMP0012 warning not appear in users' projects.
This problem is mentioned in issue #2685.
When built with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS disabled, the exported CMake
targets are modified to reference the static library location.
This also fixes version detection for VS2017 and beyond within
the target import script.
The AMD64 option causes a build failure on MSVC (#1760) and the ASM builds seem to have problems:

This change also prevents these from "polluting" the cmake options if assimp is being included as a submodule.
If you have assimp installed already and in the include path (e.g. I have it via homebrew), it can pick up the wrong headers.
This forces the include order so our local ones are found first when building assimp.
