I just finished converting a large project from VC project files to Cmake generated ones and am using file GLOBing to generate the file lists for builds. This is working fine and I don't see the benefit to explicitly specifying every file.
I know the docs recommend not using GLOB, but the only reason given is that cmake won't do a rebuild when new files are added. This seems like a limitation of the build system not a good reason. So is there any good way to cause a CMake rebuild of a project when the contents of the directory change? I am thinking something like outputting the directory listing to a file (i.e. dir /b/s > filelist.txt) and adding that file as some sort of dependency to the project. But I don't know exactly how this would be done in practice. Any ideas or canonical methods? -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
