Hello, we are using CMake to build different binaries which depend on some libraries, that we develop ourselves. At the moment we export the settings from the build directories of the libraries using export(... lib-build.cmake ...). The CMakeLists.txt of a binary uses an own CMake module using find_package(), in which we check for the "lib-build.cmake" file. If it exists, it is included and the library variable is set to the imported TARGET. Otherwise the library is searched with find_library and used as dependency. The build works without problems if the libraries are built first and the binary afterwards. I am wondering if it is possible to trigger an automatic build of the libraries when building the binary. For example the libraries should be built if they have not been built yet or there have been changes to the source files. I think, if the library projects were integrated into the build using add_subdirectory(), this will work. Because we additionally let CMake generate Eclipse projects, it would be nice if the library projects which are exported and imported by the binary project, will be marked as references of the binary project (Project -> Properties -> Project References). For the record: We are using CMake in version 1.8.1 under GNU/Linux and Windows.
Kind regards, Benjamin _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
