Re: [CMake] Visual Studio GNU make projects
- Original Message - From: Brandon Van Every [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: cmake@cmake.org Sent: Friday, June 01, 2007 6:16 PM Subject: Re: [CMake] Visual Studio GNU make projects You could also use CMake to produce a Visual Studio project, and implement all compiler shennanigans yourself using ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND. This would be similar to how I drive the Chicken Scheme compiler. http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org if you want to see my build. That sounds like a good idea. What's so great about GNU Make? Sounds like a legacy issue you should dump. Unless it's an underlying 3rd party library, in which case you don't touch that build, you just wrap it with an ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND and let it do its own thing completely independently. Yeah, the piece of hardware I'm compiling for uses GNU Make in Cygwin for its libraries and makefile includes and whatnot. At this stage I don't fancy rewriting the entire 3rd party build system only to have it overwritten with the next update! So a custom command seems to be the way to go, thanks Brandon. -J __ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

[CMake] Makefile includes
We're using a 3rd-party build system that is build around GNU make and CodeWarrior *shudder*, and they have provided a fairly chunky file that needs to be included at the top of the makefile, e.g.: include $(SOME_ROOT_DIR)/build/buildtools/commondefs Is it possible to get cmake to insert this line into my generated makefile? -J __ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

I think it has already been discussed on this list (you may have a look in archive). CMake does not handle such kind of mix makefile + CMake inclusion. Moreover you certainly don't *really* want to do it for the following reason: How would you use the content of your include $(SOME_ROOT_DIR)/build/buildtools/commondefs from within your CMakeLists.txt ? How can you be sure the eventual makefile rules defined in your specific file won't clash or interfere with the ones generated by CMake generated Makefiles? May be you can: 1) Ask your third party build tool provider for CMake support 2) Send on the mailing list the content of $(SOME_ROOT_DIR)/build/buildtools/commondefs in order for us to suggest Makefile to CMake translation 3) Design your CMake usage with orthogonal usage of the 3-rd party buildtool and your CMake usage then you may invoke the 3rd party buildtool make from an ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND in your CMakeLists.txt -- Erk ___ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake

Hmmm... I was worried that'd be the case.

[CMake] what to download for Linux??
Hello, I want to build cmake from the sources, on a Linux platform. Now it seems I have the choice between cmake-2.4.6-Linux-i386.tar.gz and cmake-2.4.6.tar.gz ?? Intuitively, I would go for the second choice (called Unix Linefeed Source, where I have no clue what the Linefeed stands for), since Unix normally includes Linux, and a generic name like cmake-2.4.6.tar.gz is similar to for example the gcc- or doxygen-packages-names. However what then is that Linux-package good for?? I know that i386 stands for some architecture, but I don't know whether my platforms are such or not, and I also expect the build process to find out on its own, without me having to specify this implementation detail?? (When building gcc, or, say, make, it does not bother the user with such details.) I have purchased the book, but neither there nor on the web page anything is said about which package to use when (just follow the instructions, but there are none). I couldn't make good use of the search functions for the e-mail lists neither (always end up with some google search). Any hint would be appreciated.

[CMake] Dashboards
I have been unable to contact any of the Dart2 dashboards hosted at Harvard. Since I have been using Dart2 for my project, I would like to support efforts that would encourage the replacement of Dart1 installations, and thus shift development emphasis. Have they been discontinued? Or is there some firewall blockage? CMake is working great for my builds. However, either I don't understand how, or CTest is still weak with respect to the things that I would like to do on the testing front. (I have written many make-based testing targets over the past decades.) I still have not figured out how to make tests run conditioned on changed executables. (I have a lengthy test that I wish to avoid running unless either (1) It failed on its last attempt, or (2) the executable has changed.) On the topic of supporting CMake development, are there any particular additional Nightly builds that would be helpful to the CMake developers? I can offer various releases of FreeBSD, Linux, and MacOSX. They range from 2 generations old to CVS (cutting edge). I can probably get some of my contributors to supply additional possibilities.
