[CMake] CMake GUI suggestion - saving/restoring configurations
It would really be nice if the CMake GUI program could save and restore configurations for whatever CMake setups the end-user uses. By this I mean the ability to save the paths to the source code and where the binaries should be built, as well as its corresponding cache information, under a user-defined name; and subsequently restore that information once the end-user chooses that user-defined name from a drop-down list of those that have been saved. This would enable as many configurations as the end-user uses CMake for in an easily usable way using the CMake GUI program. Another welcome improvement to the CMake GUI would be a drop-down list or combobox whenever an item has a set of values to choose from, with the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE being an example of such a field. The CMake GUI is a great program for using CMake and I hope my suggestions can make it better. -- 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.

[CMake] Seemingly-unfixable warning about CMP0058 after upgrade to CMake 3.3
Hi,
After upgrading to CMake 3.3, I'm seeing this warning when running
CMake on WebKitGTK+:
CMake Warning (dev):
Policy CMP0058 is not set: Ninja requires custom command byproducts
to be
explicit. Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0058" for policy details. Use
the
cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this warning.
This project specifies custom command DEPENDS on files in the build
tree
that are not specified as the OUTPUT or BYPRODUCTS of any
add_custom_command or add_custom_target:
DerivedSources/webkit2gtk/WebKit2ResourcesGResourceBundle.xml
For compatibility with versions of CMake that did not have the
BYPRODUCTS
option, CMake is generating phony rules for such files to convince
'ninja'
to build.
Project authors should add the missing BYPRODUCTS or OUTPUT options
to the
custom commands that produce these files.
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.
But DerivedSources/webkit2gtk/WebKit2ResourcesGResourceBundle.xml is
not generated by add_custom_command or add_custom_target, it's
generated by the file command (in
WebKit/Source/WebKit2/PlatformGTK.cmake [1]):
file(WRITE
${DERIVED_SOURCES_WEBKIT2GTK_DIR}/WebKit2ResourcesGResourceBundle.xml
"\n"
"\n"
"\n"
${WebKit2Resources}
"\n"
"\n"
)
So there's no way to specify it as a BYPRODUCT. This seems like a
defect in CMake, unless I am missing something...? It's building fine,
so not a big deal; just would be nice to get rid of the warning.

Re: [CMake] CDash [Safe Numerics] - Administration
This message is sent when an unparseable xml file is submitted to CDash. The email says the contents are as follows, with nothing (the empty string) following... So, usually, this is some bot sending garbage to your CDash url. There is nothing for you to do, but ignore these. If they are too frequent, and coming from a suspicious IP address, you can ban submissions from that IP address. HTH, David C.

In my simplistic view it would be a simple tag in the .project file, and Eclipse would afterwards use that directory as root directory. If something like that would be done in Eclipse, all those problems would be solved.

[CMake] Is the situation with CMake + Eclipse ever going to get any better?
I've been using CMake and Eclipse for a bunch of different projects over the last several years. Although many aspects of both CMake and Eclipse have improved over the years, using them together still has a lot of problems. >From what I understand, you have three choices when setting up a project: 1) Use in-source builds. 2) Use out-of-source builds with a single generated project. 3) Use out-of-source builds with both a build project and a source project. Option (1) has a lot of problems, especially if you have multiple build configurations. I won't go into the details here, but most of the CMake tutorials I've seen recommend against this. Option (2) means that you can't use EGit or any other version control system integrated with Eclipse. Option (3) means that Eclipse thinks that you have two copies of every source file - every time you search, or open a file by name, you get two entries for the same file. Usually what you end up with is an editor window with lots of duplicate tabs. Now, some people have recommended that you set the "derived" flag on the source files in the "build" project to cause Eclipse to ignore the files in that project, but this creates even worse problems. For one thing, the error links in the build console output point to the build project, not the source project. So when you get a compiler error and click on the link, it opens the wrong version of the file. Thus you still end up with an editor window full of duplicate tabs - and if you select the wrong one and type a character, you get the annoying "this is a derived file, are you sure you want to edit it?" dialog. This happens frequently enough to be a serious annoyance - I generally end up turning 'derived' off since it's less painful. There's a fourth option, actually, which is use a different IDE :) However, my projects tend to be multi-language projects - i.e. they have support libraries for C++, Python, Java, and so on. They also tend to have a lot of custom build targets (an example would be a script that invokes the Google protobuf generator). Unfortunately, there aren't very many decent IDEs that can handle more than one source language or custom build targets. -- -- Talin -- 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.
