I have an existing large hierarchically structured code base, but I want to extract a cut-down source code tree that only contains the source code files necessary for a particular project. The files I don't want are scattered through-out the code tree.

I want to be able to extract this cut-down tree on demand, including modifications to the CMakeLists.txt (and a few other places) to remove references to removed files. I need to do this for a variety of licensing and quality-audit reasons. Just adding some option to my CMakeLists.txt files to exclude files from the compilation will not be enough.

Obviously I can do this manually, or write a perl script to do it. But I was hoping there was some smart way to do this file filtering with CMake - Any ideas?


Many thanks,
Ian Scott.



Example: I currently have:

ROOT--libA--a_blah.cxx
 |     |----a_foo.cxx
 |     |----CMakeLists.txt
 |
 |----libB--b_wibble.cxx
 |     |----b_bar.cxx
 |     |----CMakeLists.txt
 |     |----tools--super_duper_tool.cxx
 |            |----CMakeLists.txt
 |----etc
 |
 |----gui---gui.cxx
 |     |----CMakeLists.txt

I want to be able to produce on demand:
RESTRICTED_ROOT
 |----libA--a_blah.cxx
 |     |----CMakeLists.txt
 |
 |----libB--b_wibble.cxx
 |     |----CMakeLists.txt
 |
 |----gui---gui.cxx
       |----CMakeLists.txt
