I cannot answer your question: I am a newcomer to Cmake (I have been using it for less than 6 months) and on my build system I have 3.6, so I never really looked at the previous versions.

Sorry,


Michele

Thank you Michele,

This is exactly what I’m after. You specify cmake v3.6 docs ? Is it only working from 3.6.x ? I have 3.5.2 on my build system.

Regards

/Robert

In my project I build on Linux i686 and I use a Toolchain file to specify the ARM cross-compiler

https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.6/manual/cmake-toolchains.7.html

The nice thing is that if you mark some files as "generated" CMAKE will automatically use the build rather than the target toolchains. For instance, I have a Flex/Byson compiler that is generated locally on i686 , but then compiled for ARM.

Michele

    Thanks Craig,

    Your solution will work for me I think.

    Here's one possible solution (not perfect, but has been working in
    production for us for a while now for a similar scenario to what
    you describe):

    http://stackoverflow.com/q/36084785/1938798

    An alternative is a superbuild arrangement which would require a
    top level project to drive two sub-builds brought in via
    ExternalProject
    <https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/ExternalProject.html>,
    one for the host and the other for arm. This is both better and
    worse, depending on your point of view, so you may need to do some
    research/experimenting to see which is a better fit for your
    situation.

        Hi all,

        I am crosscompiling a project for arm (on linux i686), and use
        codegeneration tools within the project (together with
        add_custom_command). Of course, this will fail, since the
        tools are compiled for arm also and thus won't execute on my
        host system. So the tools need to be compiled for i686 whilst
        the rest for arm. I'm sure this can be handled by CMake
        although haven't done it before so would appreciate pointers :)

        Regards
        /Robert
