the hdf5 project uses a custom command to generate a C file from a previously compiled exe.
it looks like this #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Setup the H5Detect utility which generates H5Tinit with platform # specific type checks inside #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADD_EXECUTABLE (H5detect ${HDF5_SRC_DIR}/H5detect.c) IF (MSVC) TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES (H5detect "ws2_32.lib") ENDIF (MSVC) SET (CMD $<TARGET_FILE:H5detect>) ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND ( OUTPUT ${HDF5_BINARY_DIR}/H5Tinit.c COMMAND ${CMD} ARGS > ${HDF5_BINARY_DIR}/H5Tinit.c DEPENDS H5detect ) When I build the project from completely clean using a ctest script to create a dashboard, the H5Detect is correctly built, and generates the H5Tinit.c file, but - the first time - the file generated looks like this ... [cid:image001.png@01CC5367.70E674B0] you can see that each eol OD/OA has been replaced by OD/OD/OA. this causes the compiler (using NMake Makefiles) to flag an error saying that error C4335: Mac file format detected: please convert the source file to either DOS or UNIX format If I delete the H5Tinit.c file and rerun nmake from the command line, the H5Tinit.c file is regenerated and comes out correctly [cid:image002.png@01CC5368.020A37B0] with a single OD/OA sequence and compiles fine without errors I'm not sure what's going on. I can verify (verbose makefiles) that the command being executed to generated is the same however the job is run cd D:\Nightly\hdf5-Debug-Static\src "C:/Program Files (x86)/cmake-2.8.4-win32-x86/bin/ctest.exe" --launch --target-name hdf5 --build-dir D:\Nightly\hdf5-Debug-Static\src --output ..\H5Tinit.c -- ..\bin\H5detect.exe > D:/Nightly/hdf5-Debug-Static/H5Tinit.c I don't understand why the generated file comes out different. Is it a DOS or a CMAKE issue? Does anyone have an explanation or suggestion of how to solve it? [adding #pragma warning( disable : 4335 ) would be one fix, but I can't do this on the command line, what I really want to know is why there's an extra OD byte when run from ctest initially - using cmake 2.8.4) thanks JB -- John Biddiscombe, email:biddisco @ cscs.ch http://www.cscs.ch/ CSCS, Swiss National Supercomputing Centre | Tel: +41 (91) 610.82.07 Via Cantonale, 6928 Manno, Switzerland | Fax: +41 (91) 610.82.82
