 In the case of OS X bundles, don't think of it like installation. It's
 more like finishing up.

 How about adding some logic to target_link_libraries that writes a file,
 similar to depend.internal, mapping the install-name of the linked libraries
 to their location (if a full path has been used for linking). This file
 could then be used by BundleUtilities.cmake. Probably one would need to
 black-list certain directories (such as /System/Library/Frameworks), or is
 this already done?


BundleUtilities avoids copying system files -- they are expected to be
installed everywhere by virtue of the fact that they belong to the OS.
Files in /System do not get copied in by default with the BundleUtilitles
fixup routines.

Most of our examples of using BundleUtilities occur at make install time
via cmake scripts, but you could just as easily use them as part of a
post-build custom command step on your bundle, as long as all of the
dependent pieces are ready to be assembled.

I wont debate the merits of FILE(GLOB.. ) but looking back through the  
mail list archives FILE (GLOB ..) leads to more problems for more  
people than it probably solves. I would stay away from it unless you  
have some pretty special circumstances.

[CMake] Submitting build and test results to dashboard separately

2009-12-16 Thread Moreland, Kenneth
I am setting up a ParaView dashboard for a cluster in which I have to compile 
on one computer and then submit a job to run parallel tests on another 
computer. This means I have to run one dashboard script to update and build the 
code.  At the end of this script I submit a parallel job to run the tests.  The 
problem I am having is that I cannot seem to submit the results to the 
dashboard in such a way that I get both the build and test information on the 
same entry.

My current configuration is as follows.  To update, configure, and build the 
latest version I have a CTest script like the following:

-Setup CMake variables-

# Clear out binary directory and set defaults.
CTEST_EMPTY_BINARY_DIRECTORY(${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY})
FILE(WRITE ${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}/CMakeCache.txt ${CTEST_INITIAL_CACHE})
FILE(MAKE_DIRECTORY ${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}/Testing/Notes)

CTEST_START(${CTEST_BUILD_MODE})
FOREACH(update_dir ${CTEST_EXTRA_UPDATE_DIRECTORIES} ${CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY})
  CTEST_UPDATE(SOURCE ${update_dir})
ENDFOREACH(update_dir)
CTEST_CONFIGURE(BUILD ${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY})
CTEST_READ_CUSTOM_FILES(${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}) # Reads CTestCustom.ctest 
files
CTEST_BUILD(BUILD ${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY})
CTEST_SUBMIT()

-Submit parallel test job-

When the parallel test job runs, it executes this script.

-Setup CMake variables-

CTEST_START(${CTEST_BUILD_MODE})
CTEST_TEST(BUILD ${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY})
CTEST_SUBMIT()

I am sure that the CMake variables are setup the same in both the build and 
test scripts; I am actually using the same script to setup both.

Now here is the problem: each of the CTEST_SUBMIT()  create their own entry in 
the dashboard.  The first one creates one that reports on the build but is 
missing the test information.  The second one has the results of the test but 
has bogus information for the build.  Does anyone know how to get the the 
second submit to simply add the test information to the existing build 
information?  I tried simply removing the CTEST_START command from the test 
script, but in that case the submission fails outright.  I get output like the 
following:

Test project /home/kmorel/dashboard/builds/ParaView3Experimental
Cannot create directory /Testing/Temporary
Cannot create log file: LastTest.log
Start 1: QVTK-TestQtInitialization

 How about something like this:

 Then CTEST_CONFIGURATION_TYPE is expanded at ctest time and the -C

  Whilst setting up a dashboard for ParaView using windows + MPI, I
  noticed
  that a number of tests always fail because the executable is not
  found. I
  find that CMake code such as this
 
  ADD_TEST(ParallelIso-image
${VTK_MPIRUN_EXE} ${VTK_MPI_PRENUMPROC_FLAGS} $
  {VTK_MPI_NUMPROC_FLAG} 2
  ${VTK_MPI_PREFLAGS}
${CXX_TEST_PATH}/${RelWithDebInfo}/ParallelIsoTest
-D ${VTK_DATA_ROOT}
-T ${VTK_BINARY_DIR}/Testing/Temporary
-V Baseline/Parallel/ParallelIso.cxx.png
${VTK_MPI_POSTFLAGS}
  )
 
  does not get the executable path for the actual test set correctly to
  build/bin/RelWithDebInfo/ParallelIsoTest but only to
  build/bin/ParallelIsoTest
 
  I tried adding ${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}
${CXX_TEST_PATH}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/ParallelIsoTest
 
  and then running
  ctest -C RelWithDebInfo -V -R ParallelIso
 
  but the output is
  270: Test command: C:\Program Files\MPICH2\bin\mpiexec.exe -np 2 -
  localonly -channel mt D:/cmakebuild/pv-shared/bin/$(OutDir)/
  ParallelIsoT
  est -D H:/VTKData -T D:/cmakebuild/pv-shared/VTK/Testing/Temporary -V
  Baseline/Parallel/ParallelIso.cxx.png
 
  where we have $(OutDir) rather than RelWithDebInfo.
 
  Is there a correct way to do this? I had a look at previous
  dashboards and
  see that there is no regular windows + Mpi + Parallel testing done
  for
  paraview (and now I know why!)
 
  Thanks for any pointers (My guess is that the ADD_TEST() command is
  internally substituting the bin dir for the first executable, but
  this is
  not applicable for the mpirun version)

[CMake] Acces macro/functions to subfolders

2009-12-16 Thread Olivier Pierard
Dear all,

In order to be able to use a macro/function from several sub-folders, I
would like to define it only once in the main CMakeLists.txt.  However,
after some basic tests, It seems impossible to call this macro/function
from subfolders.  Is is possible to do it ?

By the way, what's the basic difference between macro/function in cmake
?  Related to preprocessing like in C/C++ ?  What's the advantage of
distinguish them here ?

Thanks for your help,

Olivier

 Hi!

 What is the status of scripts enabling precompiled headers for gcc/visual

 http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=1260 but I couldn't get it to work. Does 
 anyone have any up to date script that works with 2.8?


I have not bothered in linux since I can use ccache to speed up
builds. In windows I use the following macro:

#

macro( SM_PCH_SUPPORT ProjectName )
if (MSVC)
    if (USE_MSVC_PCH)
    
        set_source_files_properties(${ProjectName}PCH.cxx
            PROPERTIES
            COMPILE_FLAGS /Yc${ProjectName}PCH.h
            )
        foreach( src_file ${${ProjectName}_SRCS} )
            set_source_files_properties(
                ${src_file}
                PROPERTIES
                COMPILE_FLAGS /Yu${ProjectName}PCH.h
                )
        endforeach( src_file ${${ProjectName}_SRCS} )
        
        list(APPEND ${ProjectName}_SRCS ${ProjectName}PCH.cxx)
        list(APPEND ${ProjectName}_EXT_HDRS ${ProjectName}PCH.h)

    endif(USE_MSVC_PCH)
endif (MSVC)
endmacro (SM_PCH_SUPPORT)

#


And this requires me to have my source variable named ${ProjectName}_SRCS

And my header variable to be named ${ProjectName}_EXT_HDRS

and the following files to exist in the same folder as the CMakeLists.txt

${ProjectName}PCH.cxx ${ProjectName}PCH.h

I generally put this macro in the main project before my first
add_subdirectory so that all subprojects can use the macro as well.

Then to activate this in a project. I place the macro call after I
define the list variables.

SET( smDataManagement_SRCS
    ./src/smData.cxx
    ./src/smDataOperation.cxx
    ./src/smCounterBalanceOperation.cxx
)

SET( smDataManagement_EXT_HDRS
    ./Include/smData.h
    ./Include/smDataOperation.h
    ./Include/smCounterBalanceOperation.h
)

SET( smDataManagement_MOC_HDRS
    
)

# some .ui files
SET( smDataManagement_UIS
)

# and finally an resource file
SET( smDataManagement_RCS
)

SET( smDataManagement_INT_HDRS

)

#Add precompiled header support
SM_PCH_SUPPORT(smDataManagement)

This works in cmake-2.6 and above.

[CMake] install for subdirectories with 'ExludeFromAll'

2009-12-16 Thread Olivier Pierard
Dear all,

What's up with the install procedure of a target included in a
subdirectory with the option 'ExcludeFromAll'.  CMake says the behavior
is undefined.  I would expect a command like 'make install
target_with_exclude_from_all'.  How is it possible to manage that ?

I'm also wondering why cmake is parsing the subdirectory which is
defined as 'ExcludeFromAll' if the build of the target in that folder is
not explicitly stated (of course another target is not dependent of this
one) ?

Thank you very much,

Olivier

The details are in the docs, though you have to read carefully to
notice. I think the biggest difference is that the contents of a macro
are dropped in, as though with #define. Functions are an actual function
call and functions have their own scope.

[CMake] ExternalProject() Question

2009-12-16 Thread Michael Jackson
I am intrigued by the ExternalProject feature of CMake 2.8. One  
question that I have after reading through the Oct 09 Kitware Source  
is this. If I do a make clean or rebuild are all the  
ExternalProjects also cleaned/rebuilt? I could make an argument both  
ways but I was curious what the default was?


  One of my projects depends on HDF5, Tiff, Expat and Boost (And Qt  
Eventually). Writing directions to get everything downloaded and built  
is getting to be a pain. Would be simpler to have all that done for  
the user.

[CMake] Updates to support Dignus cross-compiler on z/OS

2009-12-16 Thread Phil Smith
These aren't all someone would need to use Dignus, as it's a two-step compiler: 
the C/C++ compilers generate assembler, and then there's an assemble step. But 
getting these files into CMake would be a step in the right direction.

The attached file is a ZIP file, renamed to (hopefully) avoid filtering. It 
contains 4 files, with path info included.

Questions/etc. are welcome, of course!

Re: [CMake] qt .qrc file modifications require two builds

Here's a very short example that demonstrates the problem.
This is a CMake file for the states qt 4.6 example
(Developer/Examples/Qt/animation/states)

#---
PROJECT(states) # the name of your project

CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.4.0)

FIND_PACKAGE(Qt4 REQUIRED) # find and setup Qt4 for this project

INCLUDE(${QT_USE_FILE})

SET ( states_SRCS main.cpp )
SET ( states_HEADERS main.h )
SET ( states_RESOURCES states.qrc )

QT4_WRAP_CPP( states_MOC_files ${states_HEADERS})
QT4_ADD_RESOURCES( states_RESOURCES_SOURCES ${states_RESOURCES} )

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES( ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR} )

ADD_EXECUTABLE( states MACOSX_BUNDLE ${states_SRCS}
${states_MOC_files} ${states_RESOURCES_SOURCES} )
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(states ${QT_LIBRARIES})

#---
Put this in the states directory, run CMake ./ -G Xcode
Open the Xcode project and build. Builds fine.
Next, open states.qrc, make any sort of modification, even just typing
a space. Save the file.
Build. You will notice the run custom script phase executes, but
that's all. (qrc_states.cxx is generated)
Press Build again. You will notice that qrc_states.cxx compiles and
the project is relinked. That should have been done the first time.

#---
Put this in the states directory, run CMake ./ -G Xcode
Open the Xcode project and build. Builds fine.
Next, open states.qrc, make any sort of modification, even just typing
a space. Save the file.
Build. You will notice the run custom script phase executes, but
that's all. (qrc_states.cxx is generated)
Press Build again. You will notice that qrc_states.cxx compiles and
the project is relinked. That should have been done the first time.

 You mean like 400 targets, where the later ones depend on the earlier ones
 ? Maybe there's a lot of dependency scanning going on.
 Did you try cmake 2.8.0 ? This got faster there.
 Another option would of course be to try to reduce the dependencies.

 Yes this is it exactly.  The problem I have is how to specify these
 libraries in third party packages.  With boost there is BUILD_PROJECTS
 which is boost specific and seems kinda clunky.  i.e. I would like to set
 BUILD_PROJECTS=NONE and do as you suggest above.  Problem comes how do I

So you want to build just a part of boost, right ?

 specify this (or is it possible) in cmake.  I also made refrence to a
 namespace issue above which no one has answered.  If I make an uber project
 of multiple 3rd party libs then is'nt there a chance that (perhaps a bad
 example) that the third party lib will use the variable BUILD_PROJECTS as
 well.  If so what happens in cmake?  Each time I specify a new dependency
 then I have to run cmake again to build the MS VS project so I can compile.

You could add an add_custom_target(foo) and then use add_dependencies(foo lib1 
lib2), and then building foo will just build the libs it depends on.
But maybe this is what BUILD_PROJECTS does ?

Install dlls next to your program, not in the system32 directory.

Generated Xcode projects do use Run Script build phases... Perhaps there's

bits of the UI seem to be empty when I inspect an Xcode project built from
your test.h.in example here.

This issue appears to be reporting the same thing...

 It works for me.

You have to make sure that the definition is BEFORE the add_subdirectory call.

 
 By the way, what's the basic difference between macro/function in cmake
 ?  Related to preprocessing like in C/C++ ?  What's the advantage of
 distinguish them here ?
 
 The details are in the docs, though you have to read carefully to
 notice. I think the biggest difference is that the contents of a macro
 are dropped in, as though with #define. Functions are an actual function
 call and functions have their own scope.
 
 tyler

Two of the important differences:

- All variables are in the caller-scope (i.e. if you set/define a new variable, 
the change will be visible from the caller). In functions variables are local 
to the function and you need to use set(... PARENT_SCOPE) to propagate the 
value to the caller-scope.

- Macro arguments do NOT behave like normal variables. You have to always 
reference them with ${arg-name}, i.e. if(arg-name) or similar does not work. In 
functions the arguments are just regular variables.

Usually what you want is functions (unless you have to support an old CMake 
version that does not have them). Only in special cases where you want the 
automatic propagation of variable values to the caller-space should you use 
macros.
