[CMake] Reading c-style preprocessor macros
I've been digging through the documentation, but I cannot seem to find anything which can read the value of a c style defined macro into a cmake variable. There's CheckSymbolExists, but that just flags the resulting cmake variable as true or false. It doesn't actually read the definition into the variable. I also checked FindBoost to see how they grab boost's version number - seems the do a file read and a regex on the resulting value. Is there an easy way to do this? I would have thought it would have been fairly common functionality - for instance, to gather information about posix options.

Re: [CMake] Interface not registered error in Visual Studio after running cmake
Hi David,
I am up to date on my service packs. It is possible that something else
other than cmake is at fault here as I can not say with 100% certainty that
I could edit macros immediately before the cmake install (it has been weeks
since I last edited a macro), but I wanted to check with the list in case
others have run into this.

All CMake does is create a directory and copy a file to your user macros
folder and add some registry keys to tell Visual Studio that macros are
there.
The folder is something like:
{YOUR_MY_DOCUMENTS_FOLDER}\Visual Studio
2005\Projects\VSMacros80\CMakeMacros
And the reg keys are at something like:
Software\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\{VERSION_NUMBER}\\vsmacros\\OtherProjects7
(one of the subkeys of that key is the one that CMake added... probably
the one with the highest number -- just look at its Path reg value to see
which one points to the CMake macros file...)
You can just delete the macros and the reg keys to see if that fixes it.
I'm doubtful that CMake is the cause of these woes, though. I've never
heard this sort of report before -- are you up to date with respect to VS
service packs and updates?
HTH,
David

When I ran cmake for the first time it registered itself with Visual
Studio 2005. Now that it has done so, if I try to right click on any of my
macros (including those that existed prior to running cmake) and choose Edit
to edit the macros, a dialog comes up that says Error, Interface not
registered and the VB editor never opens with my macro source code. Has
anyone seen this and is there a way to repair my installation of VS without
completely reinstalling it?

Re: [CMake] cmake install overrode my PATH instead of appending to it
Hi David, I was using the latest installer that I downloaded from the cmake page: http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.0-win32-x86.exe I am using Windows XP SP3. I have a relatively long PATH already. Is your PATH very long on the system that you tried to reproduce this on? I wonder if that has anything to do with it (maybe Windows tells it that it cannot append to the PATH and so it replaces the PATH completely?).

Re: [CMake] cmake install overrode my PATH instead of appending to it
Can you give exact steps to reproduce and tell me exactly how you are observing the replacement? i.e.: - set your user PATH to something that is N characters long with M semi-colon separated components - look at My Computer Properties Advanced Environment Variables user PATH value to see the new PATH value I will try this again on Monday with the installer you've pointed out. Any additional details you can provide would be helpful.

Re: [CMake] Can cmake generate Visual Studio projects without generating a makefile?

Am I attempting to use cmake in a way that is incompatible with cmake, or in a way that it wasn't intended for? It is OK if I am attempting to use it in a way it isn't designed for (in which case I can accept that and move on), Yes, unfortunately, you are. (So accept it, and move on...) :-) You can *either* do add_custom_command stuff and have a bare Visual Studio project without any source files in (but that drives your build through Visual Studio and your existing makefiles without intellisense and all that)... *Or* you can convert the makefiles you do have into CMakeLists.txt files that list all the sources, do add_library, add_executable and include_directories calls and generate VS project files that *replace* your makefiles... But not both. (At least not without major CMake re-work...) Why not convert your existing makefiles and just use CMake? It wouldn't be that much more effort than getting CMake to generate a hybrid/fake thing like you're trying to do already...

The -E create_symlink does return failure from main when called on windows. So, if you used it in a custom command which is the idea for -E stuff, it would fail in a noticeable way (the build would fail). If you call it from execute_process, you should be checking the return value as well. I guess I am the victim of the assumption that all cmake -E commands are supposed to work cross-platform since all of them do so (which I was glad to hear) other than create_symlink.

Re: [CMake] Mac OSX GUI
I downloaded/installed the Qt libraries (the Cocoa libs), and rebuilt CMake 2.8.0. I'm using a customized version of CMake 2.8.0 so the stock binaries from Kitware won't work for my project. The gui builds correctly and I can run the gui from the CMake 2.8.0.app bundle in the build directory. After running make install, trying to run the CMake 2.8.0.app bundle from /usr/local just results in the app crashing on startup. I'm running OS X 10.6.2. Any suggestions?

Re: [CMake] Mac OSX GUI
Yep. When the install command is run there is a missing package of files from the QtGui.framework/Resources/qt_menu which needs to be copied into the CMake-Gui.app/Contents/Resources. I think I filed a bug for this although technically CMake only supports Qt 4.3 which never had a Cocoa version. _ Mike Jackson mike.jack...@bluequartz.net BlueQuartz Softwarewww.bluequartz.net Principal Software Engineer Dayton, Ohio On Sun, Dec 13, 2009 at 9:13 PM, Steven Wilson steven.wesley.wil...@gmail.com wrote: I downloaded/installed the Qt libraries (the Cocoa libs), and rebuilt CMake 2.8.0.
