[PATCH 1/2] cmake: optionally build `scalar`, too

From: Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget <hidden>
Date: 2022-06-02 09:05:50
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

From: Johannes Schindelin <redacted>

Unlike the `Makefile`-based build, the CMake configuration unfortunately
does not let us easily encapsulate Scalar's build definition in the
`contrib/scalar/` subdirectory: The `scalar` executable needs to link in
`libgit.a` and `common-main.o`, for example.

Also, `scalar.c` includes Git's header files, which means that
`scalar.c` needs to be compiled with the very same flags as `libgit.a`
lest `scalar.o` and `libgit.a` have different ideas of, say,
`platform_SHA_CTX`, which would naturally lead to memory corruption,
crashes and quite tricky debugging (talking from experience).

To alleviate that lack of encapsulation somewhat, we guard the Scalar
parts in `CMakeLists.txt` via the `INCLUDE_SCALAR` environment variable.
This not only allows the CMake-based build to exclude Scalar by default,
but also gives better visual cues as to which sections are related to
Scalar.
