Hello!
Sorry for breaking the threading, I only joined this ML just now to
comment on this thread:-) Thanks Stephen for pointing me here!
I am not a regular cmake user (used to be a couple of years ago), but
I im interested in this topic since I work on Qt Creator. While cmake
currently is not our focus, I would personally like to see better
cmake integration into our tool. Unfortunately I do not have the time
to work on this myself:-/
I do want to provide some input to this discussion though.
From my experience we would need a bit more information than proposed
in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.cmake.devel/10711/focus=1100
This is the structure suggested for each target:
<snip>
{
"name": "testc1",
"type": "STATIC_LIBRARY",
"directory": "/tmp/COnly-bld",
"location": "/tmp/COnly-bld//libtestc1.a",
"exportName": "testc1",
"backtrace": ["/tmp/COnly-src/CMakeLists.txt:6"],
"installed": false
},
<snip>
That information will be valuable.
I would love to see two additional field with information:
The first is should this be run in a terminal or is this a GUI. Not
sure whether cmake has that information.
At least on windows where there are distinct link time subsystems for
console and gui applications the information is known; don't think it is
available anywhere else(?)
Secondly the linker flags would be nice to know. That way the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH can be set correctly by the IDE so that all the
libraries are found.
That might not be necessary since CMake automatically constructs build
time RPATHs by default.
Might be nice for platforms where RPATHs aren't supported (e.g. Windows)
though a generic, non IDE specific solution might be preferable:
