Considerations
- Use versioned files. Versioned Qt CMake APIs are disabled to force explicit calls and say that we don't support older `QT`s
- Don't use blobbing. Use `target_sources` and `qt_target_qml_sources`
- Distribute `CMake` definitions closer to the context: main folders with their own `CMakeLists.txt`
- Everything in libraries under `Status` namespace for cleaner code.
- Includes are exposed with Module folder externally and without prefix internally
- File/Folders name matches definitions they contain for uniformity that leads to cleaner code
- All source files (cpp, qml, js ...) have to be added to one of the CMakeLists.txt files to be tracked by CMake build system.
- Use BUILD_DEBUG, BUILD_RELEASE and BUILD_DEVELOPMENT variables from Helpers library
- Avoid Include directories. Not needed anymore CMake `target_*` APIs handles this through `INTERFACE`, `PUBLIC` and `PRIVATE` scope identifiers
- `StatusQ` is meant to be compiled as an external library, therefore StatusQ tests are kept inside its own directory
- Forced CMake version to `3.21` for the latest features and fixes. It is desired to be kept as recent as possible due to its backward compatibility. Following Qt's shipped version might be an option
- Depends on status-go changes to allow forcing of arm for apple silicon
Found limitations to CMake Qt API with Qt 6.3
- Having `0` as major version when using `qt_add_qml_module` doesn't work. Qml engine reports loading the `qmldir` but won't load the plugin library and no error is reported outside that exposed types are not found.
- `qt_target_qml_sources` doesn't work now, it generate a double copy error when deploying qml files in bin-directory. For now we stick with adding files using `qt_add_qml_module` central place
- Need to add `OUTPUT_DIRECTORY` to `qt_add_qml_module` to use the workaround
- If `MACOSX_BUNDLE` target property is set breaks importing of QML files. Disabled until fixed or workaround found
- For an unknown reason application executable tries to include the `QML_ELEMENT` include files, therefore for now I include all the C++ qml elements in INTERFACE
