Hi
Cmake supports several boolean for platform/compiler detection:
UNIX
APPLE
WIN32
CYGWIN
MINGW
BORLAND
I think this approach is too simple and not very easy for the developer.
What about code that I want to compile under Windows using Borland,
Intel, MinGW and MSVC?
What about code compiled under Cygwin? IF (UNIX) is true or not?
What about Intel compiler under UNIX?
A good and simple approach is to totally separate platform OS detection
from compiler detection.
I see something like this:
Operating systems:
- OS_WINDOWS
- OS_WIN32
- OS_WIN64
- OS_WINCE_POCKETPC (Windows CE for PocketPC)
- OS_WINCE_SMARTPHONE (Windows CE for smartphone)
- OS_POSIX
- OS_MACOSX
- OS_CYGWIN
- OS_LINUX
- OS_HURD
- OS_BSD
- OS_FREEBSD
- OS_NETBSD
- OS_OPENBSD
Compilers:
- CC_MSVC (Microsoft Visual C++)
- CC_MSVC6 (Visual C++ 6)
- CC_MSVC7 (Visual C++ .NET)
- CC_MSVC71 (Visual C++ 2003)
- CC_MSVC8 (Visual C++ 2005)
- CC_GCC
- CC_MINGW (Native GCC under Windows)
- CC_GCC3 (GNU GCC 3.x)
- CC_GCC4 (GNU GCC 4.x)
- CC_INTEL (Intel C++)
- CC_BORLAND (Borland C++)
Qt as the same approach and I think Qt is a good example of a massively
multiplatform tool.
See qglobal.h at:

It would be good for CMake to have the same separation between OS and
compiler detection, what do you think?
