Hello,
Using CMake 3.8.1 on Windows 7 SP1.
The following cmake expression will produce an error.
INSTALL(
FILES
$<$<CXX_COMPILER_ID:MSVC>${COMP_PATH}/win32/bin/comp.dll>
DESTINATION "${install_dir}")
"CMake error: Error evaluating generator expression: $<CXX_COMPILER_ID:MSVC>.
$<CXX_COMPILER_ID> may only be used with binary targets. It may not be used
with add_custom_command
or add_custom_target."
Tried using "GNU" instead of "MSVC" but did not help.
Tried using "PROGRAMS" instead of "FILES" but did not help.
Replacing $<CXX_COMPILER_ID:MSVC> with $<BOOL:1> works, so it appears
cmake-generator-expression work just not using compiler as key.
What does binary target mean in this context?
Why does this fail?
Kind regards,
Lars
