Re: [CMake] use of ${cmake_command}
2010/4/5 AKHRES Nader nader.akh...@laposte.net:
Hello,
I've seen some examples where ${CMAKE_COMMAND} is used instead of cmake,
typically in post build command
Is it a better practice for portability?
Yes. This way you can be sure to use the very same 'cmake' that you used
to configure/build the project and not the one found in te path.
In fact you can invoke cmake like that:
cd yourbuilddir
/absolute/path/to/my-cmake/cmake path-source
my-cmake may be:
- a git master CMake (i.e. not a release)
- a patched CMake because you are trying some enhancement not
yet published upstream
- an older cmake version 2.4.x because you have to keep your project
backward compatible
- a cmake version you installed on your account because you
do not have enough right on this particular host to upgrade
system-wide
etc.

Re: [CMake] use of ${cmake_command}
Yes, since the cmake that is in the user's PATH might not be the cmake
they are using/want to use. Generally, avoid hardcoding
application/executable names or locations.
