Not that I can see on CMake 2.8.5, so far I suppressed generating the ZERO_CHECK target which automatically re-runs CMake if it detects relevant changes. The resulting sln and vcxproj files seems only dependent on VS 10. -- Perry Ismangil ___ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake

And of course if we migrate totally to CMake for all platforms we can even get rid of configure alltogether. It's just we're not quite ready yet to tell our Visual Studio developers they need to run CMake to get the project files, which have been so far over the years handed to them ready to build :) -- Perry Ismangil ___ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake

This is because for now, we are going to supply pre-made VS solution files instead of geting developers running CMake on their Windows machine. That is, we'll run CMake to generate VS 10 files and ship that. So we're using CMake just as a VS10 generator at release time. Probably later on we'll decide if we just ship CMakeLists and get the developers to run CMake generators themselves. If they do, then yes we can generate this header on the fly like the configure/Makefile-based system we use now on the Unix platforms. Thanks for the suggestions, much appreciated.

The fact is it works the way you want, which is good, but beside that why would it be better for the user to face a failing build (because he forgot to create the file) than face a failing CMake run (because he forgot to create the file)? -- Erk Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org ___ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake

You may tell CMake that this file is generated as part of the build: set_source_files_properties(your_header.h PROPERTIES GENERATED TRUE) This should enable you to run CMake without the file but the build should fail if it is not there at build time. -- Erk Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org ___ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
