The docdir flag needs to include `PROJECT_NAME` according to [GNU guidelines]. We are passing `-DCMAKE_INSTALL_DOCDIR=${!outputDoc}/share/doc/${shareDocName}` but `$shareDocName` was unset. The `multiple-outputs.sh` setup hook actually only defines `shareDocName` as a local variable so it was not available for cmake setup hook. Making it global would be of limited usability, since it primarily tries to extract the project name from configure script. Additionally, it would not be set because the setup hook defines `setOutputFlags=`, preventing the function defining `shareDocName` from running. And lastly, the function would not run for single-output derivations. Previously, we tried [not disabling `setOutputFlags`] and passing the directory flags only for multi-output derivations that do not disable `setOutputFlags` but that meant having two different branches of code, making it harder to check correctness. The multi-output one did in fact not work due to aforementioned undefined `shareDocName`. It also broke derivations that set `setOutputFlags=` like [`qtModule` function does] (probably because some Qt modules have configure scripts incompatible with `configureFlags` defined by `multiple-outputs.sh` setup hook). For that reason, it was [reverted], putting us back to start. Let’s try to extract the project name from CMake in the cmake setup hook. CMake has a `-L` flag for dumping variables but `PROJECT_NAME` did not seem to be among them when I tested, so I had to resort to parsing the `CMakeLists.txt` file. The extraction function is limited, it does not deal with * project name on different line from the `project(` command opening - that will just not get matched so we will fall back to using the derivation name * variable interpolation - we will just fall back to using derivation name when the extracted `project_name` contains a dollar character * multiple [`project`] commands - The command sets `PROJECT_NAME` variable anew with each call, so the last `project` call before `include(GNUInstallDirs)` command will be used when the included module would [cache the `CMAKE_INSTALL_DOCDIR` variable]. We will just take the first discovered `project` command for simplicity. Hopefully, there are not many projects that use multiple `project` calls before including `GNUInstallDirs`. In either case, we will have some subdirectory so the conflicts will be minimized.
