Dears cmakers,
I am about to finish my "dual gui/console" behaviour for InventorTools
utilities. Compilation of whole set of executables is perfectly
handled by cmake, but final "installation" procedure does not work.
Can cmake handle this situation?:
1. cmake builds all the executables of the projects
"Dual" behaviour requires .com suffix, so all *.com are placed in
the build directories. On MSVC, it is usually at
build/(project_name)/(debug|release)/*.com
This works perfectly.
2. The last project makes one .exe for "dual" behaviour. It is called
autoconsole.exe. Before using cmake, I copied autoconsole.exe to all other
build directories to reside together with their .com and renamed them to
the same name as .com except with .exe suffix. This worked perfectly using
post-build script, but how to make it with cmake?
I unsuccessfully tried two options:
- to make post-build step by
add_custom_command (TARGET autoconsole
POST_BUILD
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy
${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/autoconsole.exe
${ivview_BINARY_DIR}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/ivview.exe
COMMENT "Copying executables..." VERBATIM)
This does not work because ${CMAKE_CFG_INITDIR} is set to $(IntDir) on
Visual Studio. So, the copy command fails because it expect regular
path. (And $(IntDir) differs among different debug/release
configurations).
- to make it part of install process by
install (TARGETS autoconsole
RUNTIME
DESTINATION bin
RENAME ivview.exe)
It copies the file, but RENAME does not work (It probably works only
for PROGRAMS and FILES signatures). I was planning to use this command
about ten times to get all the required .exe.
Please, is there any way how to proceed, to get all of about ten .exe
executables to their places, either with their .com counterparts
(preferred), or to final install destination?
Thanks,
John
