RE: [CMake] Digital Mars
Do you actually need to add -L? I think if you have: link a.obj c:\foo bar.lib (and c:\foo is a directory) then it will look for bar.lib in c:\foo. Haven't tried myself, but recently I recall seeing the thread started here: http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?c%2B%2B.command-line/639 and in http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?c%2B%2B.command-line/643: link link flags objects,exename,mapfile,lib1 lib2 \my\lib\path\ lib3 lib4 lib5,def file,res file -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Amitha Perera Sent: 31 May 2006 21:43 To: William A.

However, I'm having a lot of pain compiling vxl with it (which was my original intent). My current reaction is that Digital Mars is not complete enough to make vxl work easily, so I'm dropping the issue for now. That said, I think I did manage to resolve the CMake-Digital Mars interface, so if someone feels the urge to see what I did to get that done, I can describe it in more detail.

Re: [CMake] Digital Mars
OK, another 0.01999... to your idea: DM has a utility called 'cl.exe' (look for it in the BIN directory) which emulates a lot of Microsoft command line compiler and linker. Have a try w/it!

In principle, CMake has enough knowledge to look for it by scanning
the current LINK_DIRECTORIES for libA.
Maybe we could set the LIB env as part of the link command.
Then use the /SCANLIB option. Then do something like this:
In Windows-bmc.cmake try this:
SET(CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH_FLAG ;)
SET(CMAKE_CXX_CREATE_SHARED_LIBRARY
set LIB=LINK_LIBRARIES
link ${CMAKE_CL_NOLOGO} ${CMAKE_START_TEMP_FILE} /out:TARGET
/PDB:TARGET_PDB /dll LINK_FLAGS OBJECTS LINK_LIBRARIES
${CMAKE_END_TEMP_FILE})
I tried this before my previous post, and it didn't work. The problem
is that the directory still appears on the command line, and it is
interpreted as a library.
We might need to create a LINK_DIRECTORIES that would only have
the link directories part of the link line, but that might work with
the extra junk at the end of the lib path.
I think both a LINK_DIRECTORIES and a LINK_ONLY_LIBRARIES is
necessary, because dmc can't deal with the directory paths being on
the command line.

I've been able to get relatively far by simply implementing a

thought I'd try this first before writing a generator for the Digital

Right now, I'm stuck here: the Digital Mars linker wants full paths to
the libraries, or else will scan the LIB environment variable. Is
there a variable simliar to LINK_LIBRARIES that will expand to the
full paths of the required libraries?
(Unfortunately, this is somewhat low priority for me, so I'll
apologize in advance for delayed responses.)
Currently, there is not.
It does seem that the linker can not add paths to the link line:

[CMake] Digital Mars
Has anyone tried CMake with Digital Mars C/C++? My quick attempt with CMake 2.2 and CMake 2.4.2 failed. Current error output with CMake 2.4.2 is Determining if the C compiler works failed with the following output: f CMakeFiles/cmTryCompileExec.dir/build.make CMakeFiles/cmTryCompileExec.dir/build Error: 'f' not found I set CC=c:/dm/bin/dmc.exe CXX=c:/dm/bin/dmc.exe and used the Unix Makefile generator.
