We are some people who have had a some dicussion about allowing an alternate name instead of "CMakeLists.txt". So here's a link to a page about CBS (Common Build System) I am trying to create in the effort to make C++ as easy to use as C#, Java etc.
http://cpaf.sourceforge.net/CBSIntroduction0_page_description.html Below here just an ultra short intro see above link for about 2 pages of quickly read information. Simple example from my actual codebase. CBS (Common Build System) makefiles for zlib and libpng, which depends on zlib (install stuff not included): --- z.cbs --- TARGET_DEFAULT_VERSION ( 1 2 3 ) ADD_SOURCE_FILE ( adler32.c ) ADD_SOURCE_FILE ( compress.c ) ... ADD_SOURCE_FILE ( inffast.c ) --- png.cbs --- TARGET_DEFAULT_VERSION ( 1 2 16 ) ADD_DEPENDS_ON ( z ) ADD_SOURCE_FILE ( png.c ) ADD_SOURCE_FILE ( pngerror.c ) ... ADD_SOURCE_FILE ( pngwutil.c ) -------------------------------- Note the ADD_DEPENDS_ON ( z ) for png. This single line takes care of all needed includes, linkdirs/libraries etc. thats neeeded to compile and link libpng. For additional include use ADD_INCLUDE_DIR. See the homepage for more information or even check it out from SVN. http://cpaf.sourceforge.net/CBSIntroduction0_page_description.html http://cpaf.sourceforge.net svn co https://cpaf.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cpaf/trunk/cpaf cpaf -Regards Martin Lutken _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
