[CMake] Command line cmake not picking up variable that gets picked up in the GUI
I am trying to automate my build process and before going down this path, I set up findMYCODE script that requires a variable CODE_BUILD_DIR that the user defines.This variable is the build directory for another code base that my current code base is dependent on. When I run CMAKE in the gui, and define the variable, the find script locates the necessary path/items and this value is populated in the CMakeCache file.In the CMakeCache file my variable is listed as CODE_BUILD_DIR:PATH=C:/builddir/Win64/VC10/bin/Release However ,when I go to the command line and try to pass the needed build parameter via the command line, my value is not getting picked up and so my solution does not get generated. In order to get my solution I must have this variable defined. From the build directory where I am trying to complete the build I execute the following command: cmake -G Visual Studio 10 Win64 -DCODE_BUILD_DIR:PATH=C:/builddir/Win64/VC10/bin/Release c:\mysource The variable CODE_BUILD_DIR int he above line is the first build directory for another code base that my current code is dependent on. I have tried several variations of this command line option and passing the -D variable, with and without escaping my path, however I am not having any success. Without this parameter defined,* *I am unable to locate the necessary libraries that I must use to link into my current code. I am thinking that I am possibly missing something in my find script, or maybe I'm not escaping the characters in my path correctly. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[CMake] (no subject)
I have a problem where I have a build that depends on the output from another build. If I pass cmake the value of the libraries I want to link against, I can see the libraries through my find script without a problem using the find_library command.My problem is that I don't want to make the user always tell me the name of the library before I can do the compile since I am looking to automate the final build.

[CMake] Find a library that matches a specific pattern
I have a build that depends on the output from another build. We can't
combine the code into one build due to other issues.
I need to get cmake to pass the values of the libraries I want to link
against. I have worked out a find script for my second build that
allows me to use the find_library command to pull the .lib file that I'm
looking for.However, I must force the user to specify the specific name
of the library and I need to avoid this and just be able to pick up the
value if the name passes validation and the version is any number since
ultimately this whole process will be automated and I don't want to have to
worry about specifying version numbers.
My first build creates a directory
- build
- win64
- VC10
- bin
- Release
- filea1231.1.1.1.lib
- fileb2341.1.1.1.lib
- filec3451.1.1.1.lib
For the second build I force the user to tell me the path of the build
directory (i.e. C:\build\win64\VC10\bin\Release and assign this to a value
of first_build_dir)
I then have a find script where I am trying to find the library (i.e.
filea1231.1.1.1)
set (file_name filea1231.1.1.1)
find_library(my_library
name ${file_name}
PATHS ${first_build_dir}
)
The problem I have is that the filea1231.1.1.1 might change for the next
build (i.e filea1231.1.1.2).There is only one file named filea so I'd
like to be able to search for filea*.lib no matter what the versioning
information contains.
I thought I needed to go down the path of using a string(regex
match([filea0-9]+\\.[0-9]\\.[0-9]\\.[0-9] file_name) however I can't figure
out how to make this work in my current situation.
I then went down the path of trying the file(strings filea*.lib
file_name) option but it returned my ${first_build_dir} path
I'm looking for suggestions on how to handle pulling the changing file name
within cmake for use at anytime.
Thanks
