Hello all, Please review the topic CMakePackageConfigHelpers_build_tree.
This patch adds an option BUILD_TREE to configure_package_config_file. At the moment it is complicated to generate config files both for install and build tree, usually combined with "export(TARGETS)" and "install(EXPORT)", using configure_package_config_file, and it will require to tweak the build tree variables to always use absolute paths, or the generated config file will be broken. You can generate valid config files, but in the build tree the relative paths will always be calculated compared to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, and this does not make sense, and also generates config files with very long lists of "../../../" and difficult to read. The BUILD_TREE option instructs configure_package_config_file to consider paths that are not absolute as relative to the CMAKE_BINARY_DIR directory instead of relative to the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` directory. This makes a lot easier to generate 2 different config files, one for the build directory and one to install with the package. * CMakePackageConfigHelpers: Remove unused variable: http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=stage/cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=7d7bb039 * CMakePackageConfigHelpers: restructure documentation and document commands: http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=stage/cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=a8e70768 * CMakePackageConfigHelpers: Add BUILD_TREE option: http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=stage/cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=d64849af * CMakePackageConfigHelpers: Add unit tests for BUILD_TREE option: http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=stage/cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=3d3695ca Cheers, Daniele -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
