Sorry for the delay. I went on vacation a few days after emailing
about this issue then forgot to check back when I returned.. If I
click on a .sln it picks the wrong version of Visual Studio as well so
this is not a CMake issue.

Thanks,

[CMake] CMake 3.7.0-r2 Open Project sometimes picks wrong version of Visual Studio

2016-11-03 Thread John Drescher
I opened a project in cmake-gui using the open project button from a
vc 2010 build of a project. The open project opened the project in
Visual Studio 2010. Later I opened the same project but a different
build tree for Visual Studio 2013 CMake-gui had all of the correct
information for the Visual Studio 2013 build but open project tried to
open the Visual Studio 2013 solution in Visual Studio 2010 instead of
the expected Visual Studio 2013. Is there a way to get/force this
feature to reliably use the correct ide?

Thanks,
John

For this I just make separate installers. I use a naming convention
such that win32 / win64 is part of the name of the generated nsis
executable installer.

No create 2 independent trees. I keep the source in a separate tree
also. For example I have my source code in

x:\CMakeBased\Libraries\ITK-4.7.0
x:\CMakeBased\Libraries\VTK-5.10.2
...

x:\CMakeBased\Qt\LungAnalysis
x:\CMakeBased\Qt\StudyManager

...

Where Libraries are source code libraries like ITK, VTK, GDCM, DCMTK ...

And LungAnalysis, StudyManager  ... are applications written by me.


Then the build tress look like

x:\64bit\VC.100\Libraries\ITK-4.7.0
x:\64bit\VC.100\Libraries\VTK-5.10.2
x:\64bit\VC.100\Qt\LungAnalysis

...

x:\64bit\VC.120\Libraries\ITK-4.7.0
x:\64bit\VC.120\Libraries\VTK-5.10.2
x:\64bit\VC.120\Qt\LungAnalysis

...

x:\32bit\VC.100\Libraries\ITK-4.7.0
x:\32bit\VC.100\Libraries\VTK-5.10.2
x:\32bit\VC.100\Qt\LungAnalysis

I am not sure about renaming that however I find it helpful to
organize my projects using solution folders with
set_property(GLOBAL PROPERTY USE_FOLDERS ON)

and

set_target_properties(mylocalproject PROPERTIES FOLDER folder)

CMake gives you the functionality needed to edit these via your own
script. I mean reading and writing files replacing text.

You can also do this if you reset the cache in cmake-gui.

I am saying making this change to not cache the source folder would break

cmake binfolder

and

cmake --build buildfolder

and several other commands that have worked this way for years.

cmake .

would fail in the bin folder if it had no way to know where the source
folder is.

I think the part of problem would be figuring out what vcvarsall.bat

Did you use the correct generator? Remember that Visual Studio 2012 is
Visual Studio 11 not Visual Studio 12.

For these kind of things I use environment variables in my

use the default behavior.

I suspect deleting the cache in cmake-gui then running cmake-gui from
the windows shortcut will break it again.

BTW, I usually run cmake-gui from a visual studio command prompt. The
reason for this is I use more than visual studio compiler and also use
32 and 64 bit in different build trees so I have command prompts with
different environment variables set that help cmake to find the
correct libraries for the build tree that I am currently using.

On windows I have several completely separate build trees with their
own environment. This way I can build for different compiler versions,
32/64 bit and different versions of libraries like this. Inside the
root of each build tree there is a link to the appropriate Visual
Studio command prompt that has its default folder set to the build
tree root. Also in the root there is a batch file that sets quite a
few _DIR environment variables to help cmake find the correct compiled
libraries. This has worked well for the 5 or so years that I have done
it this way. I do not use INSTALL targets so none of the binaries end
up in Program Files.

Use List append to append your local module path to the
CMAKE_MODULE_PATH then put your custom NSIS.template.in in that folder

LIST(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/CMake/Modules)

So in my project root I have the following folder:

CMake\Modules

and it contains my customized

NSIS.template.in

It looks like you were not supposed to install the redistributable but
to put it somewhere and tell cmake-gui where it was then hit generate.

Are you using very old versions of Qt, ITK and CMake? I ask because of this line

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.4.0)

The current version of CMake is 2.8.10.2 I normally put

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

in all of my projects since 2.8.0 was released in September of 2009.

Again the missing header files problem has nothing at all to do with
linking. Please put that back to

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(test ${ITK_LIBRARIES} ${QT_LIBRARIES} )

You are missing

include(${ITK_USE_FILE})

and

include(${QT_USE_FILE})

before your add_executable()

However you seriously need to look at some more recent CMake tutorials
and documentation. There are tons of examples on the vtk wiki.

That is expected. The problem you just mentioned is not a linking

Qt needs to be in the TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES as well.

Okay, I was wrong about not having any source files. I see main.cpp
being a source file even though ${qtproject_SRCS} is not populated.

Also if you are going to use ITK then you need to use a finder for
that as well..

I did not. Sorry. I wanted to try to better track down the cause. I
initially thought it was based on having more than 1 project() but I
believe I also got that after removing all but the main project() in
my application. This happened over the weekend and I had no further

I would use remove_definitions(-D_MBCS)

cmake version 2.8.10.2
  remove_definitions

I was going to ask that because Visual Studio 2010 RTM has a nasty

Also there are reasons why this will not work in the current design.
Outside of the few CMAKE variables that are set for the compiler that
would be wrong the biggest problem I believe would be libraries. You
can not link a x64 library with a 32 bit program so CMake would have
to track what libraries were x64 versus 32bit which may seem like just
adding additional configurations over Release,Debug ... would solve
but that will not work with the way finders work. Also I do not
believe CMake supports this configuration on any other platform.

I believe the current method of forcing the developer to use different
build trees for 64bit and 32bit works very well. I have used this for
almost 5 years now of development under Visual Studio 2005 to 2012.

As a windows programmer who regularly uses CMake generated
RelWithDebInfo targets with Qt4 since 2008 I believe the behavior of
using the Release versions for RelWithDebugInfo is fine (and actually
preferred for me). If I need to debug deeply into a Qt problem I will
switch to use the Debug build however most of the time for itk or vtk
I want to use RelWithDebInfo to debug since these tend to be slow to
Debug in Debug mode that is when I use dicom images that are similar
resolution to what my programs typically use.

Not unless you want to move your development to MinGW.

This should be devenv.com or msbuild.exe (located in your system .NET

I am not sure about recommended however I build vtk from the command
line via a Visual Studio command prompt.

I first configure VTK to turn off shared libraries because I want to
avoid having to copy dlls around.

cmake --build PathToBuildFolderForVTK --config Debug
cmake --build PathToBuildFolderForVTK --config Release
cmake --build PathToBuildFolderForVTK --config RelWithDebInfo

After that I do not install VTK. Since the INSTALL will only install a
single configuration. I instead point my own projects that use cmake
to use the vtk build folder as VTK_DIR and CMake is happy to set it up
so that my debug configurations will use debug vtk libs and my release
applications will use release vtk libs.

Can't you specify the location of the make program in CMake-gui? That
is until a better solution is worked out.

In vtk-5.X you needed to enable VTK_USE_GUISUPPORT then that gave you

It looks like

set_property(

APPEND PROPERTY COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_DEBUG MyDef
)

set_property(
DIRECTORY
APPEND PROPERTY COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_RELWITHDEBINFO MyDef
)

is what I am after.

I had some trouble building a x64 version of Qt 5.0 beta2 but then
after getting past that I found out that vtk-5.10.X would not work
with Qt5 so it pretty much ended what I wanted to test since pretty
much all of my current code uses vtk.

I also remember that Visual Studio 2012 RTM had an optimizer bug that

installing VS 2010 is install SP1.

Re: [CMake] How to get Visual Studio to use more than a single core for compiling

2012-11-27 Thread John Drescher
> Right, perhaps complex inter-project dependencies halt the processes.

I believe this is part of the reason. Projects like ITK with hundreds
of small utilities tend to utilize the cores after the dependent
libraries are built however my code that has very few utilities and
significantly more inter-project dependencies do not tend to make good
use of the cores.

On top of that it appears that VS building slows down significantly as
the # of include folders greatly increases. This cuts into CPU
utilization when the OS searches your includes for your header files.
In the past I have tried to get around the inter-project dependency
problem by building Release, Debug and RelWithDebInfo in 3 separate
processes only to find that on some builds this did not fix the issue
because the OS spent an a large portion of the build time searching
the include paths. I even tried to stop this by placing the projects
and includes on a RAM disk but even that did not totally fix the
issue.

My comment was even though it will do multithreaded builds with VS
projects for some projects it will build at very low CPU utilization
for long periods while other projects it maxes out at 100% on all 12
cores.

I can tell you that sometimes its hard to get Visual Studio to make
good use of your cores (especially if you have 8 or 12 threads) even
though multithreded building is on. I believe there are too many parts
of the chain that are single threaded only.

You do not link to DLLs on windows. You link to import libraries when
using dlls. During the dll creation it should create a .lib along with
the .dll.

I see. I have always compared the size of the pointer for this..

I am not sure that has ever caused me a problem on any of the 64 bit
applications I have written. The only problem I had with CMake was for
a while my x64 applications were being installed (by nsis) in "Program
Files (x86)" instead of "Program Files". I have since fixed my
settings for NSIS and this has worked for over a year for me..

32 bit cmake works fine for 64 bit builds on x64. I use this almost
every day for the last 3+ years..

Get rid of the comma in both statements. Also get rid of the quotes in the set.

set (MYPROJ_LINK_LIBS iconv perfstat mylib)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} ${MYPROJ_LINK_LIBS})

I do not believe Visual Studio will build x64 targets on 32 bit
windows. The first issue would be installing the x64 compiler. However
I could be wrong.

This sounds like it did not find FLTK at all. I have seen this error

Yes.

Here is an example I have from one open project.

SET( ${PROJECT_NAME}_SRCS
./src/main.cxx
./src/MainWindow.cxx
./src/dbDev2App.cxx
./src/CmdCounterBalanceStudyModes.cxx
./src/CmdExportTable.cxx

You do not need quotes around the source file names if there are no
spaces in the file names.

I can think of one use case that I use that the separation is a good
thing. What about when you have options and variables that are
conditional depending on other CMake variables so that setting the
variables / options may take more than 1 configure.

Are all the Qt dlls in the same folder as qmake.exe? This should be
the bin folder inside of the Qt build.

One way is to put this file along with the sources in a subdirectory
of your project and use the add_subdirectory cmake command to add that
to your project. Then add qextserialport to your
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES. This time just use qextserialport since it is
not a variable but a target. You will also have to add a entry to your
include_directories for the location of the .h file in this
subdirectory.

I think it should be:

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(CppSampleQt01 ${QT_LIBRARIES} ${SIMPLONLIB}
${SIMPLONIMGPROC})

since both of these should be variables.

You need to add your 2 libraries in TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES. CMake will
not do that automatically.

Sounds like this is either a problem with an antivirus, OS locking or
your hard drive is going bad. For the latter install CrystalDiskInfo

I wrote cmake macros to generate a batch file containing cmake -e

I never ever do that on windows. And I have done 100s of builds with
CMake and many upgrades since CMake 2.4.

I have seen a few instances of this on the list. I think a good deal
of them were either a botched compiler install or a permissions
problem.

The 32 bit version works fine for win64. You can get the source and
build a 64 bit cmake however that does not really give you anything
more than the 32 bit version does. Its not like you need 4GB of ram to
create your projects.

I am not seeing this at all on Windows 7, Windows 2008 with 2.8.7 and
Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Studio 2008.

Can you make a small example?

I can't help with that part. I do add components also executables with
shortcuts for my executables by setting the CPACK_PACKAGE_EXECUTABLES
variable. However I never mess with changing the installation folders
or creating shortcuts directly.

It does not get removed for me using Visual Studio 2010. All of the
NSIS stuff exists in a _CPack_Packages folder inside of the build
tree.

Here is an example of this for one of my current projects (not exactly
what I do but close enough):

rem configure
pushd .
cd X:\64Bit\VC.100\Qt\StudyManager
cmake X:/CMakeBased/Qt/StudyManager
popd

rem build the nsis package.
cmake --build X:/64Bit/VC.100/Qt/StudyManager --config Release --target PACKAGE

X:/64Bit/VC.100/Qt/StudyManager is the build folder containing the
.sln CMakeCache.txt ...

Continuing on this subject. The default configuration in Visual Studio
is Debug so that is why debug is selected.

There are many ways around this:

1. You could reduce the configurations that CMake creates down just to
the one you want.

2. Do batch building. I do this option. Look at the cmake --build command

3. Use nmake makefiles (I believe)

4. Generate a new .user file to specify the default build for your
project in visual studio when you configure the project in cmake.

Maybe some user committed examples in the wiki just like what has been
done for the vtk and itk examples..

I am sorry. It does not look like the code to glob is there. I am to
tired to look for more examples now.

That means on line 128 you have an

include( ${SomeCmakeVariable} )

and the cmake variable is blank.
