By micromanaging the project dependency and its inclusion into the test
project. It feels like an awkward construct, but perhaps better than
nothing.
It's also fragile because it's a static build with no assistance from
the external project (curl in this case). Mitigated in test by disabling
all dependencies and some features.
Since there is no special core cmake logic to be tested here, in CI
the test is tested really. To keep CI jobs at minimum, only add 3 of
them, taking 42s in total. (All 6 would take 270s.)
Follow-up to e2a23d5d0d#17203Closes#18208
- GHA: add cmake integration tests for Windows.
- make them run faster with prefill, unity, Ninja, omitting curl tool.
- also test static libcurl.
- add old-cmake support with auto-detection.
- auto-detect Ninja.
- run consumer test apps to see if they work.
- add support for Windows.
- make it more verbose.
- re-add `ExternalProject` cmake consumer test. It's broken.
- tidy up terminology.
Cherry-picked from #16973Closes#17203
Add CMake test project consuming curl via these methods:
`FetchContent`, `add_subdirectory()`, `find_package()`.
Also:
- GHA/distcheck: run these tests in CI.
- cmakelint: exclude a warning for calling "wonky-cased" built-in
CMake functions, such as `FetchContent_Declare()`.
Closes#16126
