Hi Bill,
First just by running "cmake -E vs_link_exe" CMake crashes on my
machine (CMake 2.8.2, Win7): "cmake.exe stopped working" "Close the
program/Debug the program". Is this the right behaviour?
It is not meant to be a command that is called by hand, so it might not
have all the arguments it wants, and it crashed. Not expected, but not
that harmful either.
Then, below is my verbose output. I see no /INCREMENTAL:YES in my link
command. How did you get this in your link command? (This is anyway
the default option.)
Are you building Release? I think CMake only defaults to incremental
builds for debug builds. So, RELWITHDEBINFO and DEBUG build types will
be the only ones that do this by default.
You would want to add the incremental flag to this cache variable to get
CMake to link incrementally with release:
CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_RELEASE
The problem is that calling mt.exe after linking modifies the
timestamp of the dll. Therefore the next run of nmake will trigger a
full link as the below output shows:
LINK : zorba_simplestore.dll not found or not built by the last
incremental link; performing full link
But I already had the dll built by a previous build.
Yes, it does that for release builds, as the exe and dll files do not
have the extra space needed for incremental linking. Basically, CMake
supports incremental and non-incremental linking. If the
/INCREMENTAL:YES flag is found then cmake -E vs_link_exe is used. If
not, then the non-incremental approach is taken.
All is working as expected.
