Hi Noel,
Forgive the delay, this work is for my PhD which I'm completing in my spare
time outside of work.
I've configured a POM that contains redefinable properties for all paths
and ON/OFF flags in the .make, then generates a .make with values
substituted in. Then it executes the .make . This structure is
cross-platform compliant, though I've only tested it on Windows 7 64 bit.
The next step is to configure the POM to generate a new JAR containing
openbabel.jar and the cpp libraries etc. This will enable submission to a
public maven repository as originally intended.
Question: the ctest script is only generating the project solution,
correct? It shouldn't also build the project, should it? Because it's
completing successfully, but far too quickly to be doing that... I'm sure I
can identify whether libs and dlls have been generated but I'd like to know
what it *should* be doing.
