[CMake] unexpected behavior with TARGET_FILE_DIR and Visual Studio 2010

Hi cmake-users, I have the following setup: CMAKE: 3.0.2 Visual Studio 2010 In one of my cmake files, I’m trying to create a preprocessor definition based on the TARGET_FILE_DIR of a different target … so I’m trying this: target_compile_definitions(my_target_B PUBLIC

Re: [CMake] Generate a file with a custom command as part of build

add_custom_command is the probably the right thing…but it needs to be triggered by a dependency relationship. You will specify public/bundle.js as the OUTPUT parameter of the add_custom_command and then some other target or install command needs to have that file listed in its sources, and then

Re: [CMake] installing source (or object) files

I think my initial reaction to installing a source (cxx) file is that you should install a static library instead (.a) - which is basically what you are suggesting. Just define a new static library target that includes the cxx file and install it…should work fine. If there are headers needed to

that seems to refer to libevent and the linker is not finding it - so you probably need to build/install that lib for your toolchain. It doesn’t look like there is a standard finder module for libevent currently, but if there were then find_package(LibEvent) would have likely alerted you when

Re: [CMake] Overriding the include path, library path of OpenSSL, Zlib and libcurl

It doesn’t look like that find module directly supports HINTS or PATHS, so you can try setting CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH and CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH (https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.7/variable/CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH.html) before calling the curl finder. I think you can add to those variables whatever paths

if you know exactly where the library is (via the ENV), then I guess you want to specify the NO_DEFAULT_PATH option to find_library. Alternatively, see if you can use the standard find module included with cmake: https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/blob/master/Modules/FindLAPACK.cmake ..and in
