Hi list, In my project some people use Ninja as a generator, some use GNU Make.
In a part of my projects I have a add_custom_command() which runs, for convenience, the build of another cmake-generated project in another dir using a different set of compilers (which is the reason for not being a sub_directory). add_custom_target(build-app COMMAND make -C ${APP_BUILD_DIR}) This fails of course if the user decided to use ninja. We can assume that the caller's build is always using the same generator as the callee's one. I know there is CMAKE_GENERATOR - I could do it with 'IF()', but is there a variable carrying the generator-command which I can use to replace the bare 'make'? Thank you in advance. regards, -- Patrick. -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
