Not only that, for some projects, I have both winbuild and linbuild within the source directory so that I can compile Windows and Linux builds from the same sources and a single CMakeLists.txt file. This is possible as the i: drive is my home directory on Linux Samba server, mapped from windows! CMake is *really* useful here as it ensures true cross-platform builds for such a setup. (Btw, any ideas how pushing a 'tool' button from DevStudio (after editing a file) can start the Linux re-build as well ? ;)) Regards, - Rajiv > Cheers, > Brandon Van Every > > _______________________________________________ > CMake mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake > _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list [email protected] http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
