Re: [CMake] bash-script-like project

2011-10-30 Thread Andrea Crotti

I rephrase a bit the question which was probably too long :)
So suppose that I just need to do the following things (but in a 
portable way with CMake).


cd org-mode  make
cd tramp  autoreconf -fi  ./configure  make
cd doxymacs  autoreconf -fi  ./configure  make
...

where some of the commands are repeating... what could be a way
to do this with CMake?

I'm not sure to understand why you want to do that with CMake
but executing any command in a particular working dir may be done
with

execute_process,

checking the RESULT_VARIABLE value may give you a mean to
emulate  by checking the value before going on.
But I guess from re-reading your first message that you did already
know the command.

now again 

autoreconf -fi
./configure

seems to be autoconf entity, so since autoconf
requires a shell, why would you write a CMake script ?

 where some of the commands are repeating...

then use CMake foreach or while command.

 what could be a way to do this with CMake?

If the objective is to run the previous sequence of command as a CMake target
then create a CMake (or shell scripts) and call the script in

add_custom_target.

in a CMake scripts the variable
CMAKE_COMMAND contains the path to CMake executable.
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL contains the build tool to use (may be 'make' in your case)

may be those would be useful for a 'portable' CMake script.
