I want to have a preprocessor symbol (GEN_OUTFILES) defined for all build
configurations except one (ReleaseNoOutfiles). Before I added the
ReleaseNoOutfiles configuration I just had this line in my top level
CMakeLists.txt:
add_definitions(-DGEN_OUTFILES)
but now I have to have this complicated mess instead:
# Add preprocessor definition for GEN_OUTFILES to all project configurations
except ReleaseNoOutfiles
if (CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES)
string(TOUPPER "${CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES}"
CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES_UPPER)
else()
string(TOUPPER "${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}"
CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES_UPPER)
endif()
foreach(config ${CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES_UPPER})
if (NOT (${config} MATCHES "RELEASENOOUTFILES"))
set_property(DIRECTORY APPEND PROPERTY
COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_${config} GEN_OUTFILES)
endif()
endforeach()
Is there a more elegant solution that I am missing ? Ideally something
like:
add_definitions(CONFIG=Debug;Release;RelWithDebInfo;MinSizeRel
-DGEN_OUTFILES)
which I know doesn't exist but I really wish it did :-)
Initially I didn't have the if (CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES) check and it
didn't work on linux. Why is CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES empty for linux
targets ? I know that multiple build configs are not supported in the same
tree like they are under Visual Studio but you can configure multiple build
directories with CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE set to each value in
CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES. The code in CMakeLists.txt files would be more
platform agnostic and easier to read if one could iterate over
CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES on linux to set configuration specific variables
like COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_XXX.
