Description

Replace directory-scoped add_definitions(-DWITH_SERVER) with target-scoped target_compile_definitions() in three CMakeLists.txt files to prevent the WITH_SERVER definition from leaking into unrelated targets.

Changes Made

  • src/ssh/CMakeLists.txt: Replaced add_definitions(-DWITH_SERVER) (inside add_ssh_target()) with target_compile_definitions(${TARGET_NAME} PRIVATE WITH_SERVER), placed after the add_library() call. This prevents the definition from leaking into later targets such as sftp_client and ssh_client.
  • src/sshfs_mount/CMakeLists.txt: Same fix inside add_sshfs_mount_target().
  • tests/unit/CMakeLists.txt: Replaced the directory-level add_definitions(-DWITH_SERVER) with target_compile_definitions(multipass_cpp_tests PRIVATE WITH_SERVER), scoping it to only the test executable that requires it.

These changes address the feedback from #5029.

Related Issue(s)

Testing

  • No new unit tests required; this is a CMake scoping fix with no change to compiled code logic.

  • Manual testing steps:

    1. Configure and build the project to confirm all targets compile with WITH_SERVER defined where expected.
    2. Confirm targets sftp_client and ssh_client no longer receive the WITH_SERVER definition.

@copilot all builds are failing here, whereas they succeeded in the base branch.

Fixed in the latest commit. The sftp_client, sftp_test, ssh_client, and ssh_client_test targets all compile plain_ssh_session.cpp, which includes plain_sftp_session.h. That header uses sftp_server_free (a libssh server API), so these targets also need WITH_SERVER. Previously this was provided by the leaking add_definitions, so they built fine. Now each target that needs it gets it explicitly via target_compile_definitions.
