Re: [CMake] Cmake issue regarding conversion of existing Visual Studio .targets files to cmake

[David Cole via CMake]

From
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/command/add_custom_command.html :

If COMMAND specifies an executable target (created by ADD_EXECUTABLE)
it will automatically be replaced by the location of the executable
created at build time. Additionally a target-level dependency will be
added so that the executable target will be built before any target
using this custom command. However this does NOT add a file-level
dependency that would cause the custom command to re-run whenever the
executable is recompiled.

So... if TestVersion.exe is created as a result of an
add_executable(TestVersion ... call, then you should be able to use

add_custom_command(
TARGET ${TARGETNAME}
POST_BUILD
COMMAND TestVersion \$(VersionPath)\
COMMENT Check if $(VersionPath) has version information...)

If you must pass the full path to TestVersion as an argument to a batch
file, you should be able to use

$TARGET_FILE:TestVersion

(again, assuming TestVersion is the name of your add_executable target)


By the way, the error message 'TestVer\TestVersion.exe' is not
recognized ... is probably happening because the working directory is
not set correctly relative to the name TestVer\TestVersion.exe - a
simple pushd/popd combination to the correct directory in the batch
file may solve this.


HTH,
David

Re: [CMake] Cmake issue regarding conversion of existing Visual Studio .targets files to cmake

[Ravi Raman]

Hi David,

Executing the batch file from cmake function add_custom_command() in the 
COMMAND option is successful.
But is there any mechanism in cmake in which we can specify the user-built 
executables OR project-specific executables directly from cmake function 
add_custom_command() in the COMMAND option ?

Like, for example, if we want to execute something like this in cmake:

add_custom_command(
TARGET ${TARGETNAME}
POST_BUILD
COMMAND ${VERBIN}/TestVersion.exe \$(VersionPath)\
COMMENT Check if $(VersionPath) has version information...)

Note that here ${VERBIN}/TestVersion.exe is a project specific executable.

When we execute this in cmake, we get the following error:

  'TestVer\TestVersion.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external 
command,operable program or batch file.

So, please let us know if there is any way other than batch file for this ?

Thanks  Regards

Re: [CMake] Cmake issue regarding conversion of existing Visual Studio .targets files to cmake

[Ravi Raman]

Hi David,

We have a query regarding how to use MIDL related commands in cmake. In our 
project, many Visual Studio project files involve MIDL command execution. So, 
there are few Visual Studio targets which use MIDL related macros. For example, 
here is one such target:

  Target Name =GenTestMidlFile
  Condition ='$(LinkTimeMidl)'=='true'
  Inputs=@(Link)
  Outputs=$(IntDir)testmidl.rsp
  BeforeTargets=Link
  
WriteLinesToFile File=$(IntDir)\testmidl.rsp 
Lines=%(Link.MidlCommandLine)/
ItemGroup
  FileWrites Include=$(IntDir)testmidl.rsp/
/ItemGroup
  /Target

The above target creates an output file testmidl.rsp containing the MIDL 
command line as set in Link.MidlCommandLine which is a Visual Studio macro.

So, in cmake we have taken the following approach:

1. We have added a PRE-LINK custom command using add_custom_command as follows:

add_custom_command(
TARGET ${TARGETNAME}
PRE_LINK
COMMAND 
${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/GenTestMidlFile.bat $(IntDir) \${MIDLCOMMAND}\
COMMENT Generate MIDL command file 
$(IntDir)/testmidl.rsp)

2. The batch file GenTestMidlFile.bat takes MIDLCOMMAND as one of the arguments.
The MIDLCOMMAND argument will contain the MIDL command line value which will be 
set accordingly for each module that uses MIDL command, otherwise it will be 
empty.
The batch file logic is to create the file testmidl.rsp to contain the contents 
present in MIDLCOMMAND argument.

We have tested this and it works fine.

Just wanted to know, if there is a better approach or anything specific for 
MIDL in cmake?

Thanks  Regards

Re: [CMake] Cmake issue regarding conversion of existing Visual Studio .targets files to cmake

[David Cole via CMake]

If it works, do it.

Custom commands are the easiest way to do MIDL stuff driven by CMake if
you need things to work with any generator.

Alternatively, if you are guaranteed to be using Visual Studio
generators, you can try just adding the idl file as a source file of
the library or executable that contains it, as the VSMidl test does:
[1] -- but it may only work with source/build tree names that contain
no spaces depending on your VS version. The parent CMakeLists that
builds it arranges for this to be the case: [2]

Re: [CMake] Cmake issue regarding conversion of existing Visual Studio .targets files to cmake

[Ravi Raman]

Hi David,

We are executing the following POST_BUILD commands using add_custom_command() 
call in cmake.

add_custom_command(
TARGET ${TARGETNAME}
POST_BUILD COMMAND ${TBIN}/VerCheck.exe \$(TargetPath)\
POST_BUILD COMMAND copy \$(TargetPath)\ 
\$(TargetPath).vercheck_dummy_target\
COMMENT Checking if $(TargetPath) has version info...)

The issue we are facing is with the execution of the post-build command 
${TBIN}/VerCheck.exe \$(TargetPath)\. It gives the following error:

  C:\Program Files 
(x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(134,5): error 
MSB3073: The command setlocal\r [E:\RaviRaman\Project\Auto

[E:\RaviRaman\Project\AutoDesk\Source\AutoDesk_Project\autodesk_project\XoriantRepo\components\global\src\objectdbx\build\x64\versioninfo\GenVerInfo.vcxproj]

Also, note the following:
1. The execution is successful and there is no error when I keep only the copy 
command and comment out the command ${TBIN}/VerCheck.exe \$(TargetPath)\
2. VerCheck.exe is a project specific executable which checks the version of 
the specified target
3. All the variables above in ${...} are getting correctly replaced. So, that 
is not an issue.
4. We are able to execute both the commands ${TBIN}/VerCheck.exe and copy 
successfully from the DOS command line.

So from the example you've sent, it seems like the stuff in your
targets file is just a bunch of custom commands that you'd need to run.
There are plenty of examples of projects using add_custom_command and
add_custom_target out there, and if you have specific questions about
how those commands work, do send more emails and ask those questions.

I don't think there's anything out there that will help you automate
this task but if there is, hopefully somebody who can point you to
them will show up here.

Otherwise, it's just roll up your sleeves time, and do the work
manually to convert targets files into CMakeLists that use
add_custom_command.


Cheers,
David C.

Microsoft Visual Studio. Each module has a Microsoft Visual Studio project 
(.vcxproj) file and in some of the project files, Microsoft Visual Studio 
targets (.targets) file is included using the import statement.



As an example, let us take a module with the name module1. It will have a 
Visual Studio project with the name module1.vcxproj. The file 
module1.vcxproj file will include the Microsoft Visual Studio targets file 
target1.targets as follows:



Import Project=target1.targets /



Attaching a sample target1.targets file for your reference. In that, there 
are many entries as follows (for each target) and there are certain steps that 
get executed within the Target block.



  Target Name=Target_1 

  

  /Target



Requirement:

The requirement is to convert the existing Microsoft Visual Studio built system 
to cmake built system.



As per cmake requirement, we have created CMakeLists.txt file for module 
module1. Cmake does not understand or include .targets file directly. So, 
there is a need to put the equivalent logic of whatever steps are executed 
within the Target blocks in .targets file into the corresponding cmake 
statements in CMakeLists.txt file of module module1.

So, is there any mechanism that cmake provides for doing that ?

Are there any examples of such work being done in the past, which we can refer 
to ?



Thanks  Regards

To the best of my knowledge, CMake does not do anything with .targets

files. It doesn't know what they are, and it doesn't generate any of

them...



What is the function of the .targets files in your non-CMake build

system?



Perhaps somebody else who is more familiar with .targets files is

listening and can chime in. I'm not sure what to recommend for you.

add_custom_target and add_custom_command are commands you can use to

organize and execute custom build steps (as opposed to compiling source

files as part of an add_library or add_executable)



Maybe with the build system you can generate using CMake, you won't

even need the .targets files anymore. If you do need them, I'd be

curious to learn what it is your .targets file do and why you still

need them.





HTH,

David C.

Re: [CMake] Cmake issue regarding conversion of existing Visual Studio .targets files to cmake

[David Cole via CMake]

So from the example you've sent, it seems like the stuff in your 
targets file is just a bunch of custom commands that you'd need to run. 
There are plenty of examples of projects using add_custom_command and 
add_custom_target out there, and if you have specific questions about 
how those commands work, do send more emails and ask those questions.


I don't think there's anything out there that will help you automate 
this task but if there is, hopefully somebody who can point you to 
them will show up here.


Otherwise, it's just roll up your sleeves time, and do the work 
manually to convert targets files into CMakeLists that use 
add_custom_command.



Cheers,
David C.

Re: [CMake] Cmake issue regarding conversion of existing Visual Studio .targets files to cmake

[Ravi Raman]

Hi David,

Thanks for the reply. Understood. 
Will use the cmake function add_custom_command() with POST_BUILD option in case 
of after build and PRE_BUILD option in case of before build.

Re: [CMake] Cmake issue regarding conversion of existing Visual Studio .targets files to cmake

[David Cole via CMake]

The problem as reported, is that you're trying to use add_custom_target 
with a target named test -- but you can't do that with CMake because 
test is a built-in well-known predefined target name.


Other so-called well-known target names include all install 
package and package_source. And there may be others. If I can find 
a definitive documented list, I'll forward it...


You can use any other name you like, but you should avoid the 
pre-defined target names that CMake already uses.



HTH,
David C.

Re: [CMake] Cmake issue regarding conversion of existing Visual Studio .targets files to cmake

[Ravi Raman]

Hi David,



Thanks for the response. Sorry to use the cmake pre-defined word test. My 
actual query was not this. I just used test as an example without realizing 
that it is actually a cmake pre-defined word.



So, my actual query is as follows (2 points below):



1.  In Microsoft Visual Studio project file module1.vcxproj, the targets file 
(target1.targets) gets included as follows:



 Import Project=module1.targets /



 In target1.targets, there are multiple entries of various targets as follows:



  Target Name=Target_1 ..



  /Target



  Target Name=Target_2 ..



  /Target



To achieve the same thing in cmake, in the CMakeLists.txt file of module 
“module1” we are using the following command:



add_custom_target() with the appropriate target names for the above i.e. we 
make 2 calls to add_custom_target() with target names Target_1 and Target_2



Is this the correct way to convert Visual Studio .targets file to cmake OR is 
there any other way ?



2.  Also, if we take the above approach then for each call to 
add_custom_target(), a Visual Studio project file gets created under the module 
module1. So, in this case there will be 2 vcxproject files created i.e. 
Target_1.vcxproj and Target_2.vcxproj created for module module1.



Please confirm if this is the expected behavior in cmake.



Thanks  Regards

Re: [CMake] Cmake issue regarding conversion of existing Visual Studio .targets files to cmake

[David Cole via CMake]

To the best of my knowledge, CMake does not do anything with .targets 
files. It doesn't know what they are, and it doesn't generate any of 
them...


What is the function of the .targets files in your non-CMake build 
system?


Perhaps somebody else who is more familiar with .targets files is 
listening and can chime in. I'm not sure what to recommend for you. 
add_custom_target and add_custom_command are commands you can use to 
organize and execute custom build steps (as opposed to compiling source 
files as part of an add_library or add_executable)


Maybe with the build system you can generate using CMake, you won't 
even need the .targets files anymore. If you do need them, I'd be 
curious to learn what it is your .targets file do and why you still 
need them.
