A more generic approach for cleanup actions is to add a new property which enables to specify a cmake script. And, in the script, everyone is free to do what he wants… Example: set_directory_properties (PROPERTIES ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_SCRIPT "my_clean_script.cmake")
From: cmake-developers <cmake-developers-boun...@cmake.org> on behalf of Steve Lorimer <steve.lori...@gmail.com> Date: Friday 2 September 2016 at 01:32 To: "cmake-developers@cmake.org" <cmake-developers@cmake.org> Subject: [cmake-developers] Feature request: file globbing in ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES As part of our build process we tag certain binary files with version information such as git branch, number of commits, build variant etc. Eg, for a binary called "app" we could install a file in the local source directory with the name "app.branch_foo.91.debug" The shell globbing pattern that matches is "app.*[0-9]*" I need a globbing pattern because the tag can change without the makefiles changing, so the tag can't be hardcoded into the makefile. If I specify a globbing pattern for ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES it specifies this as an actual file set_directory_properties(PROPERTIES ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES app.*[0-9]*) This results in file(REMOVE_RECURSE "../../../app/app.*[0-9]*" ... ) That doesn't work, because it's not a real file, it's a globbing pattern I've tried adding a nested file(GLOB ...) into the set_directory_properties but that doesn't work either. Is this a feature worthy of addition? - the ability to specify a globbing pattern in set_directory_properties(PROPERTIES ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES ...)? - the ability to specify a globbing pattern in file(REMOVE_RECURSE ...)? TIA Steve
