Hi,
I have spent time recently working with Qpid-cpp, CMake, and Windows x64. I can
see two issues that could use a general solution:
1. CMake's find_boost finds the same Boost library tree for both x86 and x64
builds. If environment variable BOOST_ROOT points to one lib or the other
first, then CMake sets things up correctly. This is cumbersome to do using
CMake-gui (2.8.0). It's easy to do if CMake is run from a command line.
Does anyone else compile both x86 and x64? How do you deal with Boost
versions?
2. CMake does not have a good story for emitting CSharp project files.
Does anyone have CMake dealing with .csproj files?
To make my environment work I've written a powershell script. It basically:
a. Asks for BOOST_ROOT's, x86 and x64.
b. Asks for QPID_BUILD_ROOT's, or "where to build the binaries", x86 and x64.
c. It runs two CMake command lines producing x86 and x64 output.
d. It produces scripts that you use to launch Visual Studio
with the proper BOOST_ROOT and QPID_BUILD_ROOT.
The script uses BOOST_ROOT and CMake command line to work around problem #1. It
uses an environment variable for .csproj files to find qpidmessaging and
qpidcommon binaries to work around problem #2.
Is there a better way to do this? Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Chuck
