Hi cmake maintainers, I'm wondering if there was a reason why the windows configure interface outputs message commands as individual dialogs instead of inside some sort of in-program terminal (that the user wouldn't be able to type into). It seems to me that it would make the cmake experience more consistent across configures.
I could *try* to write a patch that does this...but I wanted to see if there was interest in it at all first. The second idea is to have an internal cmake variable that is a list of directories that cmake modules could use to look for libraries and include files. I'm starting to notice that every single FindXXX.cmake uses commands like: FIND_PATH(SDL_INCLUDE_DIR SDL.h HINTS $ENV{SDLDIR} PATH_SUFFIXES include PATHS ~/Library/Frameworks /Library/Frameworks /usr/local/include/SDL /usr/include/SDL /usr/local/include/SDL12 /usr/local/include/SDL11 # FreeBSD ports /usr/include/SDL12 /usr/include/SDL11 /usr/local/include /usr/include /sw/include/SDL # Fink /sw/include /opt/local/include/SDL # DarwinPorts /opt/local/include /opt/csw/include/SDL # Blastwave /opt/csw/include /opt/include/SDL /opt/include ) over and over. Why not define these paths internally and turn these long commands into : FIND_PATH(SDL_INCLUDE_DIR SDL.h HINTS $ENV{SDLDIR} PATH_SUFFIXES include PATHS ${CMAKE_COMMON_INCLUDE_PATHS} ) Just some ideas, Chris. _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
