Well, yes, one might argue that :-). >> * When there are existing in-source generated files in the project dir, >> CMake doesn't allow generating into a separate out-of-source folder. >> An IDE has to invent workarounds here. > > Arguably, in-source generation is broken by definition... Also, because CMake allows either a source OR BUILD directory to be given, such a configuration is almost certainly doomed. IMO, trying to do an out-of-source build of a source directory that already contains an in-source build *is* broken (i.e. no "arguably" about it)... and so is an IDE trying to work around such situation. At most, detect the situation and nicely report the problem to the user. -- Matthew -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
