Re: [CMake] setting a default build type
Hi, We are currently using MSBuild to select the build configuration. The command line looks like this: msbuild All.sln /property:Configuration=Release /logger:FileLogger,Microsoft.Build.Engine;logfile=All.log This line will build the ALL_BUILD target in release mode. (We tried to use VCBuild, but it's still buggy and doesn't parse the solution file properly.) You can do this in a batch file or a Perl script for all the builds you need. I'm currently working on a nightly build script for our shop which relies on CMake for generating the projects and uses MSBuild (or IncrediBuild) for compiling. So far the generation and build part are working perfectly.

[CMake] setting a default build type
On MSVC my CMakeLists.txt generates Debug, Release, MinSizeRel, and RelWithDebInfo build types. I want to keep all 4 of 'em. I want to select MinSizeRel as the default build, so that if an end user just fires up BUILD_ALL and does nothing else, he'll get a MinSizeRel build. The default default is Debug and that's not what I want. So, is there a mechanism to specify the default build type? I was unable to deduce it from the docs if there is one. Seems clear enough how to ship *one* build type, I'd just do (SET CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MinSizeRel). But I want all 4 to be shipped.

Try generating a project and then manually editing the project files in such a way that the IDE selects a different configuration by default. Don't forget to remove the .suo and .ncb files between attempts because they store the user IDE state. That approach is not desired. People typically want CMakeList.txt under source control, not its end products, as the latter differ for every person. We don't ship .sln files to people, we tell them to install CMake.

I was not proposing this as a solution, I was asking you to figure out how to implement it. I have no idea how to write a .sln or .vcproj file that will convince the VS IDE to come up with a non-Debug configuration by default. I just tried manually reordering the configurations to put Release first and the IDE still selected Debug at startup. Even changing the Release configuration to have the name ARelease (which comes before Debug lexicographically) didn't fix it. -Brad ___ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake

I don't want them, by default, to all behave as the same build type. Could you explain in more detail just what you mean by shipping 4 build types? (1) Is that giving the user the option of 4 different build types with a particular default? (2) Do you want to have the user build all 4 build types in the same CMake run? (3) Something else? The first interpretation of your request is easy to supply. CMake already allows the user to specify one of a list of build types. All the above SET command does is change the default build type (which is what you asked for) while still allowing the user to choose something different in ccmake (or whatever GUI front-end they use) if they prefer a build type that is different than the default MinSizeRel. If you want your users to build all 4 build types in the same CMake run, I don't quite see the point of that. So maybe there is a third interpretation of your request which I am missing?

(1) Is that giving the user the option of 4 different build types with a particular default? Yes. What currently comes out of CMake in VS7.1 is 4 different build types that the user can select, and the default is Debug. If the user does nothing but run BUILD_ALL, she'll get a debug build. We'd rather it be a Release or MinSizeRel build. (2) Do you want to have the user build all 4 build types in the same CMake run? The user can enable this from VS7.1 if they want to. They would select Batch Build. We're not interested in doing a batch build by default. The first interpretation of your request is easy to supply.

All the above SET command does is change the default build type (which is what you asked for) while still allowing the user to choose something different in ccmake (or whatever GUI front-end they use) if they prefer a build type that is different than the default MinSizeRel. Ok I will try it and report back. I'm in the middle of tearing something else up at this exact moment.

Just a side note, in case my misunderstanding of the build-type triggered an unneeded feature request: I'm fine with Debug being the default for Project builds (like MSVC/Project). It's in the would be nice to have level of importance. I would rather a user do nothing and get the best optimized build. I'm sure that's true for many other projects also. I asked Brandon to make MinSizeRel the default because I didn't get that this is only supported for mentioned builds. That is to say, only MSVC has Debug, Release, MinSizeRel, and RelWithDbgInfo builds at present. I believe there's an extant feature request about making these universal. Just overriding the CFLAGS via ccmake is fine for me. Cheers, Brandon Van Every ___ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
