932cddfb77 Allow the OS X SDK version to be specified separately from the deployment target.
CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET sets the minimum version that we want the app to run on,
CMAKE_OSX_SDK is the name of the SDK which we want to build against.

The OS X 10.5 SDK does not exist when building on OS X 10.7,
so allow this to be set to 10.6 instead.

02fa638261 Fix error creating directories during update when the app is installed to a drive other than C: on Windows.
FileUtils::dirname() did not include the drive letter under Windows and
the return value of dirname() was fed directly to mkpath().

When the drive letter is not specified, mkdir() assumes drive C: -
this either fails if the user does not have access rights to drive C:
or creates a directory in the wrong place.

This commit changes FileUtils::dirname() to include the drive letter
on Windows and adds a test.

addc3b253d Link libbz2 statically to fix a problem running a copy of the updater built on a Debian system on a RedHat-based system.
Under Debian, the libbz2.so SONAME is libbz2.so.1.0, so ld links to this
version of libbz2.  Debian has symlinks from libbz2.so.1 and libbz2.so.1.0 to
libbz2.so.1.0.x.  RedHat however does not have the libbz2.so.1.0 symlink
so linking fails at runtime.

This commit fixes the problem by linking to libbz2 statically on Linux.
This does not bloat the updater library too much as libbz2 is only 70K
(measured on Ubuntu 11.04).

3319c4ad3e Fix failure to start application after install on Windows systems which do not have the required side-by-side libraries installed system-wide.
It appears that the previous fix was incorrect.  The issue was
not with the current directory used by the process but that
the executable path passed to CreateProcess() used forward
slashes instead of back slashes.  A runtime error in loading
the WinSxS DLLs (the C++ runtime library) resulted.

Although most Windows API functions both back and forward slashes,
this appears not to be the case for loading of side-by-side
DLLs from the application's directory under Windows XP.

This may be related to the LoadLibrary() function whose documentation
specifies that backslashes must be used instead of forward slashes.

This commit converts the executable path to use backslashes before passing
it to CreateProcess() and removes the previous change to alter the
current working directory before starting the main app binary.

to ~400KB on Windows.

follow forks until the updater executes.

this can happen if the app is run from any kind of read-only media or network share.

 * Intercept IO errors during installation and try to find a more friendly alternative

 * Catch any IO exceptions throw whilst reverting a partial update and log details.

9650a492a9 Fix app icon not being displayed when requesting administrator privleges on Mac.
Previously the application was run from outside a bundle and hence did not
have an app icon - so OS X displayed the generic 'terminal' icon in the elevation
dialog.  The app icon in the dock was set at runtime, but disappeared temporarily
on shutdown when the overridden app icon was replaced with the default icon.

This commit fixes the problem by detecting whether the executable is being
run from within a bundle and if not, creating a minimal app bundle in /tmp
and re-launching the updater from there.

0cad59a19b Fix launching of elevated launcher processes in non-KDE environments.
* Use WEXITSTATUS() to correctly extract the exit status from the 'status'
   value returned by waitpid().  ProcessUtils::runSync() returns a signed value
   so an exit code of -1 would be returned rather than 255.

 * If ProcessUtils::runSync() cannot launch the child process (eg. because the binary
   does not exist), return an exit status that does not conflict with the exit statuses
   used by the sudo front-ends to indicate failed or canceled authentication.

   This alloes runElevatedLinux() to fall back to the next sudo binary only if starting
   the sudo front-end failed.

 * Add documentation on the different behaviors of kdesudo and gksudo with
   respect to exit codes if elevation fails.

 * Improve the description of the task that appears in the GTK sudo front-end.  The application
   is now described just as 'Mendeley Updater' instead of showing the whole command.

 * Only try to use kdesudo in KDE environments, use gksudo otherwise.

* In addition to creating symlinks and installing files from .zip packages, support
   copying uncompressed files from the root of the package directory to the installation
   path.

   This is required for installing new versions of the updater itself which is downloaded
   uncompressed to the package installation directory.

 * Replace use of File.absolute_path with File.expand_path for compatibility with Ruby 1.8.7

 * Modify updater test to test installation of the updater binary to the install directory.

724e91b216 Fix child updater processes receiving the wrong install directory on Windows of the path of the install directory contains spaces.
* Use the same argument quoting logic when launching both elevated
   and non-elevated processes under Windows
 * Include the executable name in the command-line when launching
   a non-elevated process.  Previously the child updater.exe process
   was receiving the '--install-dir' option name in argv[0] and ignoring
   it because it was only looking in argv[1..N-1]

      under elevated/non-elevated cases.
