Re: [CMake] Missing dll on program startup - a way automate it?
Thanks, this is exactly what I need.
Unfortunately constructing the path expansion involves some gymnastics.
If Find* exposes a list of directories it's just a simple list join (->
boost) but if it does not it is more involved..
list(JOIN Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS ";" BOOST_PATH)
set(ZLIB_PATH "")
FOREACH(LIB_NAME ${ZLIB_LIBRARIES})
get_filename_component(LDIR ${LIB_NAME} DIRECTORY)
if (NOT ZLIB_PATH MATCHES "${LDIR}")
set(ZLIB_PATH "${ZLIB_PATH};${LDIR}")
endif()
ENDFOREACH()
set(EXPAND_PATH "${ZLIB_PATH};${BOOST_PATH}")
set_target_properties(${PROJECT_NAME} PROPERTIES VS_DEBUGGER_ENVIRONMENT
"PATH=%PATH%${EXPAND_PATH}")
Is there a way to get a list of all additional library directories? That
would be ideal but I couldn't find anything.

some way in cmake/VS to somehow tell the IDE to append the execution
$PATH with all the specified library dependencies or something along
those lines? Ideally my goal is to just run cmake, open VS, build the

I would prefer to keep the dynamic linking.

Can also add install rules so you get an INSTALL target, and then you can just build that, and everything will end up in the right place.

Re: [CMake] Missing dll on program startup - a way automate it?
Adding the relevant directories to PATH in the debugger or build environment should allow them to be found.

Re: [CMake] Missing dll on program startup - a way automate it?
You can also use cmake to just copy the DLLs into the appropriate directory.
Here is a snippet from our own projects.
#---
#- This copies all the Prebuilt Pipeline files into the Build directory so the
help
#- works from the Build Tree
add_custom_target(PrebuiltPipelinesCopy ALL
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_directory
${DREAM3D_SUPPORT_DIR}/PrebuiltPipelines
${CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/PrebuiltPipelines/
COMMENT "Copying Prebuilt Pipelines into Binary Directory")
set_target_properties(PrebuiltPipelinesCopy PROPERTIES FOLDER ZZ_COPY_FILES)

Hi.
I haven't used it yet, but I believe the target property
