The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11902 ====================================================================== Reported By: ixSci Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 11902 Category: CMake Reproducibility: always Severity: feature Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2011-02-28 10:59 EST Last Modified: 2011-02-28 10:59 EST ====================================================================== Summary: EXCLUDE_FROM_BUILD source property for Visual Studio Description: It would be very useful to have an property which will allow to exclude some source from the build by setting the VS property "Exclude from build". I've found this proposal here http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=6314 People reasonable said that such a behavior could be achieved by using HEADER_FILE_ONLY property. But it is rather a workaround than solution because we have only similar behavior not a right one. Difference: If we set file property to HEADER_FILE_ONLY then VC++ compiler will ignore that file(and this part is what we need) but it doesn't do following: a) If we mark cpp file as HEADER_FILE_ONLY then it won't be included in the project filter(by using SOURCE_GROUP) but will be placed at the project root instead. If we have many different files which should not build then we will have a mess where header will be placed in the correspondent group but cpp not. b) Files which are marked as HEADER_FILE_ONLY don't have this verbose red circle which tells to the user "Hey I'm not part of the build, so just ignore me!". If that sign is present in the excluded file it makes project hierarchy more clear
So I think such an option should be added to the CMake. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2011-02-28 10:59 ixSci New Issue ====================================================================== _______________________________________________ cmake-developers mailing list cmake-developers@cmake.org http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
