My second question is how I can prevent CMake from adding "debug" and
"release" intermediate directories to the output path. In the
CMakeLists.txt file, I am setting LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH to a path
ending in lib/win/, but the Visual C++ project always has an extra
$(OutDir) appended to that. This means that the actual output
directory ends up being lib/win/debug or lib/win/release, which is
not what we want.
Visual Studio adds the Debug and Release folders on its own. I have
not found a way to change this although my knowledge of VC++ is limited.
Ignoring CMake, Visual Studio sets these directories via the Output
Directory project property. If the Linker Output File is a relative
path, the final name is Output Directory + Linker Output File. If the
Linker Output File is an absolute path, the final destination is just
Linker Output File.
In CMake, Linker Output File is an absolute path. The path scoping is
set by CMake itself. For my project, we have an image/ directory which
is supposed to be a near representation of the shipping build:
* image/
* Pathstorm.debug.exe
* Pathstorm.release.exe (yes, these both exist in the same
directory)
* Pathstorm.exe (a final shipping build)
* Various assets of large size such that having multiple copies
on the hard drive would just be a waste of space as they are shared by
the executables in this directory.
I was able to coax CMake into doing the following:
SET(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/image)
IF (CMAKE_GENERATOR MATCHES "Visual Studio")
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TargetName} PROPERTIES PREFIX "../")
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TargetName} PROPERTIES DEBUG_POSTFIX
".debug")
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TargetName} PROPERTIES RELEASE_POSTFIX
".release")
ENDIF(CMAKE_GENERATOR MATCHES "Visual Studio")
IF (CMAKE_GENERATOR MATCHES "Xcode")
# SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TargetName} PROPERTIES PREFIX "../")
# SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TargetName} PROPERTIES DEBUG_POSTFIX
"Debug")
# SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TargetName} PROPERTIES RELEASE_POSTFIX
"Release")
ENDIF(CMAKE_GENERATOR MATCHES "Xcode")
Note that I tried to do it with Xcode, too. It only half worked. The
debugger would not recognize the executable, and I could never debug my
applications. :(
