Anything is possible. :) It is out of the ordinary. There is no way to have a project built with two different compilers. Obviously, you could not use the MS IDE to do this. In CMake 2.4, you can test for the version of the MS compiler; The following variables will be set depending on the MS compiler version: MSVC60, MSVC70, MSVC71, MSVC80 So, you could do this at the top of the 6.0 project: if(NOT MSVC60) message(FATAL_ERROR, "This project requires MSV60") endif(NOT MSVC60) The user would have to run cmake once for the 6.0 stuff, and once for the 7.1 stuff. To get around that you could use ctest --build-and-test or try_compile to build one as a subproject of the other. -Bill _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list [email protected] http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
