[CMake] Rebuilding cmake itself on Windows
Hi all; I need to rebuild cmake to incorporate a fix that has been added since the last release (I could get a nightly build but I was hoping to use released cmake with just the fix I need to reduce risk) and which is causing my builds to fail sometimes. For Linux and MacOS this was quite simple using bootstrap. For Windows I have an older version of cmake installed, which is fine, and I'm able to build the version I want with this (VS 2010 installed): git clone git:.../cmake.git cd cmake git cherry-pick cmake . devenv CMake.sln /Rebuild Release So far so good. I see cmake.exe etc. and it works if I run it. But now I want to "install" this newly-built cmake into a specific location, and I don't know how to do it (I could copy it by hand of course but that seems sub-optimal). I really would like to do it via the command line. What's the operation I should use to do the installation of cmake? Also, for Linux/MacOS I run bootstrap.sh with the --prefix flag to specify where to install. How can I do this kind of thing for the Windows build?

Hi Paul, Set option CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to a location of your choice Then, build INSTALL target Hth Jc On Fri, Apr 12, 2013 at 4:46 PM, Paul Smith wrote: > Hi all; I need to rebuild cmake to incorporate a fix that has been added > since the last release (I could get a nightly build but I was hoping to > use released cmake with just the fix I need to reduce risk) and which is > causing my builds to fail sometimes.

I was able to set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX; thanks for that. Can you give a specific example of how to "build INSTALL target"? I can't figure out how that should work. For example I tried: devenv CMake.sln /Build INSTALL but that didn't work; I got this error: Invalid solution configuration I've tried lots of other options, like "/Deploy INSTALL", just "INSTALL" by itself, etc. and they all fail with various errors. I'm afraid I'm not very knowledgeable about Windows :-(. -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake

Hi, Since the syntax can change between version of Visual Studio, you could try to use cmake directly: cd C:\path\to\project-build cmake.exe --build . --target INSTALL --config Release See http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.10/cmake.html#opt:--builddir Alternatively, you could also open the associated solution file in visual studio and build the INSTALL target.

Re: [CMake] Rebuilding cmake itself on Windows
I usually use: msbuild /p:Configuration=Release INSTALL.vxproj Which seems to work on VS 2010 SP1 ___ Mike JacksonPrincipal Software Engineer BlueQuartz SoftwareDayton, Ohio mike.jack...@bluequartz.net www.bluequartz.net On Apr 12, 2013, at 5:58 PM, Paul Smith wrote: > On Fri, 2013-04-12 at 17:04 -0400, Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin wrote: >> Hi Paul, > >> Set option CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to a location of your choice > >> Then, build INSTALL target > > Hi; thanks a lot for your answer!

Much simpler. Thanks! Michael Jackson wrote: > msbuild /p:Configuration=Release INSTALL.vxproj This didn't work for me; there's no "msbuild" on my system. Looks like something I need to install separately. Thanks for the help, I seem to have things under control now. -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
