Hi all,I want to forbid in-source build with our CMake build system. Currently I do this like that: PROJECT(TSP C) # We do not accept InSource build anymore STRING(COMPARE EQUAL "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}" "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}" insource) IF(insource) MESSAGE(FATAL_ERROR "InSource Build is forbidden for ${PROJECT_NAME}") ENDIF(insource) The trouble is, if someone tries In-Source build with a "cmake ." then he got the message but trying to do out-source build aftrewards fails since CMake did create CMakeCache.txt (and CMakeFiles dir) in the source tree You'll have to "manually" remove CMakeCache.txt in order to get it work. This is annoying non CMakers... Is there a way to cleanly forbid in-source build?
I don't know, but out of curiosity have you tried FILE(REMOVE ...) to get rid of CMakeCache.txt to make the above give a cleaner result or does that not work? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
