Hello,
I am trying to set my Cmake project to build the "xmlrpc-c" library,
which is built using autotools. I was somewhat able to set it up
following this example:
http://mirkokiefer.com/blog/2013/03/cmake-by-example/
My resulting CMakeList is the following:
ExternalProject_Add( project_xmlprc
SOURCE_DIR "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/xmlrpc-c"
PREFIX "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/xmlrpc-c"
CONFIGURE_COMMAND ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/xmlrpc-c/configure
--prefix=${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/xmlrpc-c/
BUILD_COMMAND make
INSTALL_COMMAND make install
BUILD_IN_SOURCE 1
)
ExternalProject_Get_Property(project_xmlprc install_dir)
add_library(xmlprc SHARED IMPORTED)
set_property(TARGET xmlprc PROPERTY IMPORTED_LOCATION
${install_dir}/lib/libxmlrpc++.so)
set_property(TARGET xmlprc PROPERTY IMPORTED_LOCATION
${install_dir}/lib/libxmlrpc_packetsocket.so)
set_property(TARGET xmlprc PROPERTY IMPORTED_LOCATION
${install_dir}/lib/libxmlrpc_client.so)
set_property(TARGET xmlprc PROPERTY IMPORTED_LOCATION
${install_dir}/lib/libxmlrpc_client++.so)
set_property(TARGET xmlprc PROPERTY IMPORTED_LOCATION
${install_dir}/lib/libxmlrpc_server++.so)
set_property(TARGET xmlprc PROPERTY IMPORTED_LOCATION
${install_dir}/lib/libxmlrpc_server_abyss++.so)
set_property(TARGET xmlprc PROPERTY IMPORTED_LOCATION
${install_dir}/lib/libxmlrpc_util.so)
set_property(TARGET xmlprc PROPERTY IMPORTED_LOCATION
${install_dir}/lib/libxmlrpc_util++.so)
add_dependencies(xmlprc project_xmlprc)
It sort of works, meaning I can see the library being built in
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/xmlrpc-c/.
My problem is that the build is launched only the first time! If I
delete the ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} and re-launch cmake, the
ExternalProjet is not rebuilt. To have a rebuild, I have to do this
strange workaround:
- modify "BUILD_IN_SOURCE" to 0
- run cmake+make. I get an error as xmlrpc only support in-source build
- put "BUILD_IN_SOURCE"back to 1
- run cmake+make. This time it works.
Looks like it is some issue in the source tree remaining dirty, but even
running a "make distclean" does not change anything, I need to do the
workaround.
Any idea of where the problem lies?
Thanks,
Michele
