Bug 160340 – Allow more --cmakeargs option in build-jsc and build-webkit

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: New Bugs

[Csaba Osztrogonác]

We can use --cmakeargs="-DFOO=bar -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local"
as the example says in the help. It works as expected. 

But it doesn't work if we use BUILD_WEBKIT_ARGS or BUILD_JSC_ARGS 
environment variable to set --cmakeargs option, because they
are splitted because of the whitespace.

Additionally if we set --cmakeargs in BUILD_WEBKIT_ARGS and
pass an other --cmakeargs to the command line, the cmdline
one is omitted, because Perl's GetOptions uses only the last option.

I think the proper fix would be to allow more --cmakeargs and simply concatenate them.

The "More --cmakeargs allowed." at the end will be hard to read/notice in the shell.  How about this?

--cmakeargs=<arguments> One or more optional CMake flags (e.g. --cmakeargs="-DFOO=bar -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local")

Can this also be accomplished by using an array for cmakeArgs?

'cmakeargs=s' => \@cmakeArgs,

Or will that destroy the whitespace? 

This is apparently the preferred way to do this via the "Options with multiple values" section in "man Getopt::Long".

Ditto.

Ditto.

OK, will use the one you suggested.

Good point, I wasn't thorough enough to find this super easy way in the man.
Actually it isn't necessary to use whitespace separated string, let's
use array everywhere for cmake arguments.
