Re: [CMake] adding program suffix

[Chandan Choudhury]

Dear All,

I finally succeeded in installing gromacs 4.6.1 with prefix.
Michael you were right, I need to set GMS_DEFAULT_SUFFIX to FALSE.
Following is the command line option used :
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/soft/sudip/abc/apps/fftw-3.3.3 CC=icc cmake ..
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/soft/sudip/abc/apps/gromacs/461
-DGMX_BINARY_SUFFIX=_4.6.1 -DGMX_LIBS_SUFFIX=_4.6.1
-DGMX_DEFAULT_SUFFIX=OFF && make -j 12 && make install

Thank you for your responses.

Chandan

Re: [CMake] adding program suffix

[Yngve Inntjore Levinsen]

Hi,

I don't think the CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX will have any more effect for
you this time, and if it did you would probably get

binary_472_461 in this particular case.

Otherwise yes, I believe using GMX_BINARY_SUFFIX should do the trick
(had a quick look at the source).

Generally for cmake projects you can check which options are available
using either the graphical interface, or using ccmake after you have
configured:

cmake ../
ccmake .

Cheers,
Yngve

Re: [CMake] adding program suffix

[Michael Wild]

Looking at the sources, it seems that you also need to set
GMX_DEFAULT_SUFFIX to FALSE in order for this to work.

Re: [CMake] adding program suffix

[Chandan Choudhury]

Dear Micheal, Yngve Decker and Eric

Thank for remarks.

Micheal you are right that I want to append a suffix to every executable
being installed.
I already have an earlier version of gromacs installed, the suffix would
help me to distinguish the between the two.

While looking out for the string "SUFFIX" in the CMakeCache.txt, I
encountered a phrase as

//Suffix for GROMACS binaries (default: _d for double, _mpi for
// MPI, _mpi_d for MPI and double).
GMX_BINARY_SUFFIX:STRING=

What I can understand is if I use the following command it might serve the
purpose.

CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/soft/sudip/abc/apps/fftw-3.3.3
*GMX_BINARY_SUFFIX=_472*CC=icc cmake ..
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/soft/sudip/abc/apps/gromacs/461
-DCMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX=_461 && make -j 12 && make install

Hi,

Yes I tried to set the same variable on my machine but does not work
here neither (Linux). Perhaps this only works for platforms where this
variable is traditionally non-empty?

As also Michael pointed out, this would not really be a solution for
non-developers of a software for sure (and I now see Chandan said it was
a question regarding usage).

Re: [CMake] adding program suffix

[Michael Wild]

That's not what Chandan wants to achieve. He wants to have a suffix
appended to every executable being installed, so he can have different
versions installed and select among them through the suffix. Think gcc-4.4,
gcc-4.6 and gcc-4.7 being present on your system.

IMHO this is not they way to go about this problem if you're not the
developer of the software... It might be the last resort if the developers
were not careful enough to allow users to override the program suffix, but
IMHO this should be configurable through the cache.

I think Chandan meant "globally" for all executables.

That's the purpose of CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX
as already pointed  out by Michael.

see : cmake --help-variable "CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX"

Now it doesn't seems to work for Chandan.

I guess the variable is forcibly written by "CMakeGenericSystem.cmake"
during early CMake startup.
So that you cannot overwrite its value on the command line.
try to add "variable_watch(CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX)" at the very top
of main CMakeLists.txt

You may try to do that from within the CMakeLists.txt after the
"project(...)" statement (or enable_language)

Hi,

Do you mean how to add it to the CMakeLists.txt files? I sometimes use
the target property OUTPUT_NAME:

add_executable(mybin ${sources})
set_target_properties(mybin PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME "mybin${BINARY_POSTFIX}")

Then, you can add your own suffix with:

cmake -DBINARY_POSTFIX= ../

If there is any "official" cmake variables to use for this I am not
aware of it (but I am no cmake developer neither).

Cheers,
Yngve

 Dear cmake users,

 I am very new to cmake. I really find it interesting. I installed
 gromacs (4.6.1) with it. One simple query regarding its usage is, how do I
 add program suffix to the executables created.

CMakeCache.txt contains the CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX entry as:

//No help, variable specified on the command line.
CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX:UNINITIALIZED=_461

There is no entry of  CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX in CMakeLists.txt.

That's a bit difficult to debug remotely. Here a few hints:

* Look into the CMakeCache.txt file and verify that the
CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX is correct.
* Grep the sources for this variable, it might be that one of the
CMakeLists.txt or *.cmake files overrides the cache entry.

Re: [CMake] adding program suffix

[Chandan Choudhury]

Thanks Michael for your quick reply.

I indeed tried the following command:
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/soft/sudip/abc/apps/fftw-3.3.3 CC=icc cmake ..
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/soft/sudip/abc/apps/gromacs/461
-DCMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX=_461 && make -j 12 && make install

But the suffix was not added to the executables. Might be I am missing
something or doing silly.

Kindly have a look.

Chandan

Just set the CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX variable in the CMake cache. Be
careful that on Windows this should include the .exe suffix.

[CMake] adding program suffix

[Chandan Choudhury]

Dear cmake users,

I am very new to cmake. I really find it interesting. I installed gromacs
(4.6.1) with it. One simple query regarding its usage is, how do I add
program suffix to the executables created.
