Hi, I'm using CMake 2.6 on Linux and Windows. I'm migrating a not-so-big project from autotools to CMake, for both Linux (GCC) and Window (MSVC). The structure is simple:
proj/ proj/src - build as shared and static libs proj/app - executables linking to shared and static libs On Linux, everything works very well as expected mkdir build cd build cmake ../proj make Libraries go to build/src and programs to build/app. I can go to build/app and run ./program and everything works well. No need to call ''make install', because: build/app$ ldd ./prog1 libxxx.so => /home/mloskot/build/src/libxxx.so On Windows with Visual Studio it doesn't work that nice, of course. I get similar structure of build directory and files are scattered in similar way (+ Debug vs Release subdirectory). In order to run app/prog1 that needs to load src/xxx.dll, I need to set PATH environment, of course. I would like to configure Visual Studio projects (using CMake of course) to output all runtime elements (.exe and .dll) into common directory, for instance build/bin/debug and build/bin/release. I tried to fiddle about RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY property but I apparently don't know how to use it. Another and related question I have is about setting Debugging -> Environment property in Visual Studio project. It is file with user specific settings (*.vcproj.*.user file). By pointing all runtime dependencies using Environment and PATH, it is possible to run program inside Visual Studio. Simply, in many cases, I build and link my projects against various 3rd-party libraries from different locations and it is easier to set PATH in Visual Studio project settings than in the system-wide environment. So, I found this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1005901/how-to-set-path-environment-variable-using-cmake-and-visual-studio-to-run-test and I've managed (almost) to achieve what I need using the presented UserTemplate.vcproj trick. However, perhaps it is possible to achieve this using some nice features from CMake 2.6 or CMake 2.8 ? Thank you in advance for your help.
