Regards, Alexandre -----Original Message----- From: cmake-boun...@cmake.org [mailto:cmake-boun...@cmake.org] On Behalf Of Robert Blake Sent: Friday, 03 April 2009 16:46 To: cmake@cmake.org Subject: [CMake] Using C++ compilers for C source files? I'm converting a large mixed C++/C cmake application to C++. The project has many ".c" files that I would like to compile with the C++ compiler instead of the C compiler. Does anyone know the proper way to do this in CMake? Things I've tried: 1.) Changing CMAKE_C_COMPILER myself: Usually CMake doesn't let you change CMAKE_C_COMPILER, but there are ways around that. This way feels like a hack. The output while compiling still says "Compiling C". In addition, forcing CMAKE_*_COMPILER to change makes it very difficult to run plane cmake on Unix machines where curses is not installed. 2.) Tell CMake that ".c" files are in the CXX language: I've tried PROJECT(Blah CXX) list(APPEND CMAKE_CXX_SOURCE_FILE_EXTENSIONS c) When I run CMake on my project with these changes, I get errors like: CMake Error: Cannot determine link language for target "foobar" ...for all my targets that depend only on .c files.
