Hi all, I'm moving some plugins in kaddressbook and I ran into a problem with kcoreaddons_add_plugin:
I have this in the plugin CMakeLists.txt:
kaddressbook_add_plugin(
kaddressbook_importexportvcardplugin
JSON kaddressbook_importexportvcardplugin.json
SOURCES ${kaddressbook_importexport_vcard_SRCS}
INSTALL_NAMESPACE kaddressbook/importexportplugin
)
When I run make on the entire project, it fails with
[ 65%] Linking CXX shared module ../../../../bin/kaddressbook/
importexportplugin/kaddressbook_importexportvcardplugin.so
ld: error: cannot open output file ../../../../bin/kaddressbook/
importexportplugin/kaddressbook_importexportvcardplugin.so: Not a directory
Alternatively, if a plugin gets created first, it fails on
[ 96%] Linking CXX executable ../bin/kaddressbook
ld: error: cannot open output file ../bin/kaddressbook: Is a directory
I realized the problem is that CMake is unable to create the plugin in
$BUILDDIR/bin/kaddressbook/importexportplugin/ directory, because there's
already $BUILDDIR/bin/kaddressbook executable (or vice versa).
I would assume this is a very common problem - having plugins "namespaced" in
the same directory as is the name of the program (and executable). Should the
macro maybe put the plugins into "$BUILDDIR/bin/plugins/$INSTALL_NAMESPACE/"?
Would that make the lookup any more complicated?
Is there some known solution/workaround to this? I'd prefer not to have to
rename the executable or the plugins namespaces, since having different name
for the program and the plugin "namespace" somewhat defeats the purpose of a
namespace...
