Oh, yes, we do need the path to the compiler to be run, too. I think we can combine the include_directories, compile definitions and flags ourselves though when that is needed for us to run the compiler. I do not see the need to have the full command line that would be run for each and every file, which is how I read "full compiler command line". > Should we had the full list of include directories (split into groups like: > <>, quote, and frameworks) and the list of all compiler defines, we would not > need the compiler command-line at all. We need the compiler binary anyway:-) Best Regards, Tobias -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
