[Vxl-maintainers] Repository re-organisation

[Amitha P. <pe...@cs...>]

Hi all

I'm pretty much done with the repository re-organisation. It isn't on
SourceForge yet, so please continue to keep the repository locked. If
anyone wants to help test the new tree *before* it goes into
SourceForge, please contact me.

The major changes:

- Rename top-level project to "vxl" from "allvxl"

- Restructure the tree as discussed on vxl-maintainers.

- Emit error message if user requests vgui be built, but it cannot be.

- Change the way include paths are specified. Use

    INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES( ${COREVXL_INCLUDE_DIR} )
    INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES( ${MUL_INCLUDE_DIR} )
    INCLUDE( ${VXLCORE_INCLUDE_DIR}/vgui/UseVGUI.cmake )

  instead of

    INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES( ${allvxl_SOURCE_DIR}/vxl )
    INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES( ${allvxl_SOURCE_DIR}/mul )
    INCLUDE( ${allvxl_SOURCE_DIR}/vgui/UseVGUI.cmake )

  This makes the future changes to the build tree more transparent to
  users. Think about a binary release of vxl. The ${PKG_INCLUDE_DIR}
  would point to where the header files for PKG are installed. The
  libraries would be somewhere else. The .cxx files wouldn't be
  anywhere.

- There is a conversion script scripts/convert_old_to_new.pl that
  should help in converting old CMakeLists.txt files to the new tree.

Barring any major problems, I will ask Source Forge to install the new
tree tomorrow.

Amitha.
