We are using CMake on Windows for generating Visual Studio solution file for a small project.
Nevertheless as far as I'm not wrong, you do not have to 'monitor' CMakeLists.txt for change. When you are in Visual Studio and your recently update your sources and "Build" your solution (or any project in solution) if ever a CMakeList.txt concerned by your build have changed CMake is launched automagically from within Visual Studio. The only "drawback" of this is that after/during the build Visual Studio complain about ".sln" being modified and propose to restart Visual Studio. So if your CMakeLists.txt does not change too often/or you do not update too much the CMake behaviour is optimal and you don't even have to Launch CMake GUI "manually" but only OK to restart Visual Studio from time to time. Anyone may correct me if i'm wrong since I am relatively new to CMake on Windows AND Visual Studio use. 2006/10/18, Matthew Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
As a follow up to this question, I would prefer that the CMakeLists are the only things in the repository. Some of my co-workers are a little nervous about the workflow. I proposed to them that anytime a sync is done to the repository code base, one should open up the cmake gui and rebuild the solutions and projects just in case something changed. (versus looking through the sync results and checking to see if a cmakelists got modified). Just get into a habit of doing it. So the concern is that the process will take too long. Our code base clocks in to at least 500,000 lines of code with many different projects. I know KDE has successfully moved to cmake for the kdelibs so I was hoping to get some feedback on how much time it takes cmake to generate the resulting projects/solutions and/or makefiles given a large code base.

FYI, putting the CMake-generated build system under source control is not a supported use case. In order to build anything non-trivial CMake has to be on the system where the build occurs. -Brad _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list [email protected] http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list [email protected] http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
