----------------------------------------
Summary: Expand environment variables in definition of CMake
generator
Key: JENKINS-13049
URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-13049
Project: Jenkins
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: cmakebuilder
Affects Versions: current
Reporter: Anthony Berent
Priority: Minor
Expand environment variables in definition of CMake generator, so that one can
set the generator to the value of an environment variable.
Justification:
I have a number of Jenkins jobs using CMake that are multi-configuration
projects have to build on both Windows and Linux. Because the environments are
different I have to use different CMake generators on Windows and Linux (CMake
doesn't support "Unix Makefiles" on Windows or "Visual Studio 9 2008" on
Linux). At the moment the only way to do this is to use conditional build
steps. This means that I have to define everything about the CMake step twice.
This would be much cleaner if I could set an environment variable in the node
configuration (e.g. CMakeDefaultGenerator) and then set the "Makefile
Generator" entry to ${CMakeDefaultGenerator} in the configuration of the CMake
builder.
Environment variables already work in some of the other configuration fields of
the CMake builder. For example on Windows I am setting my make command to
"${Msbuild35Exe} /t:rebuild Project.sln"
