Hi All
(similar questions have been asked before, but none has quite hit the mark)
Is there any way to force MSVC to build custom targets marked with
EXCLUDE_FROM_DEFAULT_BUILD?
Using
cmake --build . --target SOME_EXCLUDED_TARGET --config Release
will produce the well known message
Project not selected to build for this solution configuration
I could find the following two ways to get the targets to build, but they
all have drawbacks:
1. Use a BATCH_BUILD variable that will disable the setting of
EXCLUDE_FROM_DEFAULT_BUILD
on the targets.
2. Define a set of build configurations on which
EXCLUDE_FROM_DEFAULT_BUILD_<config>
is not set (e.g. Release_ALL is identical to Release, except it has no
build exclusions)
Option 1 has the drawback of producing solutions that do not work well for
interactive development
Option 2 is rather cumbersome and would require the users to build separate
sets of binaries. I could not quite figure out a way to make the
Release_ALL packaging commands reference the Release target binaries.
Has anyone figured out a way to get the full monty, i.e. a way to generate
an MSVC solution that works well for both interactive and command line
builds?
Thank you so much for any feedback you can provide on this
