totally agree..


I am not technically or morally opposed to doing this.  However, using 
out of source builds is a good way to get around this issue.  If someone 
wants to submit a well tested patch, I will have no problem applying it. 
 However, I must admit that I currently have bigger fish to fry.  :)

There is an easy way to avoid the problem - build in a separate directory.
Separating sources is a very good practice.

Hi,

I wonder if there's an easy, straightforward way to clean a cmake

CMakeCache.txt
cmake_install.cmake
CMakeFiles

and all of these in subdirectories added to the project with the
add_subdirectory() statement..


I've filed a feature request for this (i.e. a "distclean" target for 
CMake).  It keeps coming up on the mailing list so it probably would 
make a nice addition to CMake.  I've needed it before too when 
stubborn coworkers really want to keep using in-source build trees but 
want to return their source trees to a pristine state.

Yes, I agree.  I'm sure there are people out there that use custom scripts
with CMake that generate files that can't be tracked by CMake.  I would
argue this is a small use case.  Those users shouldn't expect CMake to clean
up their stuff for them automatically.  That's what

So I doubt such a target could be added without someone crying why his 
generated file did not get cleaned up...


but, you could easily create a 'best-effort' distclean, that:

- cleans up all files generated by CMake directly
- provides hooks for external commands to do the same

thus if the implementer does not use external commands to generate 
files, it works out of the box.


if he does, he has a way of cleaning his files up, by attaching to the 
hooks provided, and cleaning up after himself there.

Re: [CMake] an easy way to clean cmake generated files?

[Mike Jackson]

Read this link:

http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Eclipse_UNIX_Tutorial

I suggest you use the following project layout:

MyProject
 |--Build  <-- This is where the build will take place.


From a terminal, cd into MyProject/Build
then "cmake ../"
then go back to eclipse and "Refresh" your workspace.
Build your project from within Eclipse. Your binaries and all  
debugging should work just fine.
 When you really need to "clean" everything, then just delete  
everything inside MyProject/Build and rerun cmake.


The link above has more details.

I'd love to, but I want to use Eclipse for the building itself, and  
it seems Eclipse needs in-source builds to be able to do meaningful  
debugging..



For in-source-builds this is going to be manual work.


:(

conceptually I don't understand though. it's cmake that knows best  
what temporary files it is generating..

I use Eclipse too, but don't experience much problems. I just set up Build 
Directory in project options to place where I set up out-of-source build.
Because debug info is embedded into output binaries, eclipse can easily find 
proper sources (May be after some playing with path mappings). Build 
directory can be specified in extra modules search path.

Alternatively, you may choose to create build directory in source tree to make 
Eclipse find objects and symbols.

Use out-of-source builds, then you can just rm -rf builddir and be done.
For in-source-builds this is going to be manual work.
