Re: [CMake] Executable extension (MSVC)
Good morning, thanks for all your comments. Here are the results: - it seems to me that cmake is building console applications by default (/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE). That is correct for my .com applications. For the .exe, I will need WINDOWS subsystem. Any possiblities in cmake? - for the suffix, I Alan's suggestion (SUFFIX property for SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES) works like a charm. Thanks. John John Drescher napsal(a): I know for a fact that this is not correct. I have written my own single windows applications that have a gui and a console and it is a .exe. Link the gui application with subsystem console. Ok. I found what I do. I have a post build step (in a vc6 project .dsp) that changes the subsystem to console after the build.

Use the WIN32 option of the add_executable command: http://www.cmake.org/HTML/cmake-2.6.html#command:add_executable Thanks. For any other interested people: - this switches using of main to WinMain - to switch it back, you can use set_target_properties (autoconsole PROPERTIES LINK_FLAGS /ENTRY:main) Thanks all involved people. The project compiles now and this .com .exe feature will be available in the next project release together with cmake support.

Reasons: I planned to port InventorTools utilities (http://merlin.fit.vutbr.cz/wiki/index.php/Open_Inventor_Tools) to cmake, I am using dual gui/console behaviour (like the one described at http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/W-D/console/redirection/article.php/c3955). In short: two executable exists - utility.com and utility.exe. If I type utility or utility.com in windows console, I can work with the application as with ordinary console application. When I run utility.exe (started from Explorer or by shortcut, or Windows gui), I get normal Windows application - no annoying console, just gui. This can not be realized in single executable. utility.com always opens console, even when started from gui, and utility.exe never communicate through console - as given by nature of Windows :( . Just both of them can do the thing. Everything worked perfectly in MSVC, however I am unable to reconstruct the scenario in cmake due to difficulties with com extension. What are the flags used in MSVC to create a .com file? -Bill ___ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake

What are the flags used in MSVC to create a .com file? I assume you need a very old version of msvc to support 16 bit compiles. Microsoft compilers have not supported this since version 4.X I believe which was more than 10 years ago. John ___ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake

No flags, just name the output file .com instead of .exe... Still works with present day Visual Studio...

Even Visual Studio has a tiny devenv.com which probably calls devenv.exe and keeps it attached to the console to see output in batch mode.
