Hello,
I'm currently converting a fairly large project over to CMake. This is
my first contact with CMake, so I might be trying to do things totally
wrong, anyway, I've encountered some problems which I could not solve.
Searching the Web or reading the FAQ didn't help; is there any way to
search the mail archives easily?
Setup:
Visual Studio 2008 / Vista, I'm porting the x64 part only at the
moment. Using CMake 2.4.8.
Problems:
* I want to name my debug libraries with a trailing 'd'. I use
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(MyTarget PROPERTIES DEBUG_POSTFIX "d") to do this.
However, MyTarget is a unit-test runner and I want to execute it using
ADD_COMMAND as described here
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ#How_do_I_generate_an_executable.2C_then_use_the_executable_to_generate_a_file.3F
albeit without the output:
GET_TARGET_PROPERTY(PRJ_UT_TARGET MyTarget OUTPUT_NAME)
ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
TARGET MyTarget
POST_BUILD
COMMAND "${PRJ_UT_TARGET}" VERBATIM
)
This works fine for release, but not for debug, as it always returns the
name without the prefix. How is this supposed to work?
* Is there a way to force both Debug and Release to end up in the
same folder? The VC++ project builder seems to put Debug into
EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH/Debug always, and I found no way to force it to
put both into the same. Rationale behind this is that my project needs
some more files in order to run, and I'd like to put the binaries right
into this data folder (instead of copying the data around during
pre/post-build ...).
* Is it possible to have x86 & x64 configurations inside a single VC
solution? During configure, I have to choose either x64 or x86. This is
nothing serious, I'm just wondering.
* What is the recommended way to check for x64 Windows? I'm using a
custom option, but I'd like to have that fully automatic if possible. I
only found this list here
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Useful_Variables#System_.26_Compiler_Information
-- is there some more up-to-date place?
Cheers,
Anteru
