Probably that would be pretty difficult to achieve and definitely would break backwards-compatibility beyond resurrection.
I have got a different opinion. I imagine that a property with a new name can provide the desired service to retrieve target parameters in a portable way from the build environment.
Otherwise: Would the addition of a CMake command make more sense for this purpose?
You shouldn't check for a preprocessor symbol in CMake.
It's just the way I would prefer to adapt the build process to the requirements of the source files at the moment.
It seems that the evaluation of compilation parameters (variable "CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS...") with regular expressions is an approach that will currently work to some degree. The used pattern determines how many compilers will be supported.
Instead, probably do a find_package(TinyXML)
I would appreciate if a corresponding module (search script) will become generally available for CMake.
and then depending on the result offer the user an option variable
I guess that the term "user" needs to be distinguished for its various meanings. There are some switches involved that might only interest a subset of them. - software developers - system integrators - tool users Regards, Markus _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
