I don't get what you are trying to do. If you are compiling for 4
platforms (as am I) are you compiling from some sort of shared drive
or network drive that all 4 platforms have concurrent access to? I
don't understand how the object code from a windows build could be
used on an OS X build? Or am I missing something? Generated Header/
source files maybe?
Maybe some more information about your setup might help us help you.
Just as a point of reference I think one way might be to have a
central cvs (or svn or whatever) and when your code compiles on the
first system, commit the changes, then move to the next, cvs update,
compile, and so on and so forth..

It seems to me to be a very important thing to do when developing
applications on multiple
platforms, which cmake is intended for.
What would be nice is a variable that can be set which would allow
the developer to tweak or
completely override the object code path. This would allow me to
use the same sources to
compile for linux 32 bit. Linux 64 bit. Mac OS X and windows as
well as release/debug versions of
each. While it might seem goofy, it saves on compile time when
making changes for platform A
and checking that they don't break B,C,D. Keeping your sources in
separate folders will work,
but keeping them up to date can be a pain. RSync and other things
can work, but can also be
a point of error if you forget to sync up or whatever.
Another option would be to allow something like configure, where
you allow the user to specify
where the script is run (such as cd build-dbg; ../configure) I
tried doing this, but it didn't have
any effect on the make scripts and object code paths.
thanks!

Hi All,
I'm compiling my application on 4 platforms (linux 32 bit, linux
64 bit, windows and mac) I would like to use my linux source tree
for all of them without having to recompile the whole thing each
time I change from one platform to the next.
Is there a way to do that? I looked at
CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, but it looks like it is the
destination of the end products themselves, and not the
intermediate stuff.
Thanks,
Eric
