dear Jean-Christophe,

indeed the approach you demostrated works for me!
this is exactly what i needed.
thank you again!

was too busy with other things)

 dear CMake developers and users,


first of all, a big thanks for the CMake developers
for a great product! we like CMake a lot.

we are extensively using CMake external project support

my question is: could i do something similar with CMake
modules? is it possible to start with a minimal core
CMakeLists.txt which would fetch other CMake modules from an
external public (Git) repository
and use them to configure the project?

the motivation for this is that we have several projects
with rather complex CMake infrastructures. the projects
are independent, live on different repositories, but the
CMake infrastructures are to a large extent overlapping.
currently we synchronize the CMake code between these projects
manually but this is not great and there is the risk that
the codes will diverge, that wheels will be reinvented,
and that improvements are not communicated between the projects.
this could be avoided if the CMake code was not explicitly
present but fetched from a repository which would also
enforce (or encourage) communicating all improvements
to the same place. everything that is generic and not project
specific would go into that external repo, only project specific
things would be kept in the minimal core CMakeLists.txt.

i will appreciate any pointers and suggestions
on how i could implement such a scheme.

Hi Radovan,

That is good news :) Do you think you could share the CMake code you ended
up created. May be could generalize the solution to create a re-usable
module.

Thanks

Re: [CMake] is it possible to download CMake modules at configure time?

2013-04-19 Thread radovan bast

dear Jean-Christophe,

absolutely. it will take a bit of time until
we finetune things but the plan is to have and share an open
source repository (probably on github) that will provide
generic plug-n-play CMake infrastructure for projects that require  
Fortran, C, and C++,

as well as MPI/OpenMP, BLAS, and LAPACK. the focus
is on scientific computing but i will try to keep things
general and generic also for other projects.

best greetings,

Re: [CMake] is it possible to download CMake modules at configure time?

2013-04-19 Thread Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin
Hi,

That is awesome.  May be the most generic component could be hosted on the
http://github.com/commontk ? We are also trying to make
generic component allowing to easily build application relying on multiple
project.

The idea would be to provide a drop-in CMake module (named CMakeSuperBuild
?) allowing to very very easily leverage External project. We would also
have a repository of existing external project definition that could easily
be re-used.

This new module would also provide the helper to make packaging and MAcOSx
bundling easier.

Thanks
Jc

 projects and that works nicely.

 my question is: could i do something similar with CMake
 modules? is it possible to start with a minimal core
 CMakeLists.txt which would fetch other CMake modules from an
 external public (Git) repository
 and use them to configure the project?

 the motivation for this is that we have several projects
 with rather complex CMake infrastructures. the projects
 are independent, live on different repositories, but the
 CMake infrastructures are to a large extent overlapping.
 currently we synchronize the CMake code between these projects
 manually but this is not great and there is the risk that
 the codes will diverge, that wheels will be reinvented,
 and that improvements are not communicated between the projects.
 this could be avoided if the CMake code was not explicitly
 present but fetched from a repository which would also
 enforce (or encourage) communicating all improvements
 to the same place. everything that is generic and not project
 specific would go into that external repo, only project specific
 things would be kept in the minimal core CMakeLists.txt.

 i will appreciate any pointers and suggestions
 on how i could implement such a scheme.

 thanks and best regards,
