[cmake-developers] Dead CMake Redesign Projects

Hello! Since about July of 2018, I've been trying to design an interpreter library for the CMake language, common for the cmake, cpack, and ctest tools. It was my idea that I could create an extensible library for the CMake project, that could make it easier to add commands, generators, and

Re: [cmake-developers] option to prevent in-source builds

A lot of projects that use CMake already have a `./cmake` directory, I would think `./cmake/init.json` would fit nicer as opposed to the hidden directory. I'm not a fan of hidden directories in software projects anyway. I would prefer an init file be written as a CMake file instead of JSON. JSON

[cmake-developers] The "cmake_host_system_information" Command

Hello! I noticed, since 3.10, there's been several new additions to the query key list of this command. I understand the idea behind this command is to request information that is non-trivial to access. For example, FQDN takes a little bit longer than the others. I think ideally, all variables

[cmake-developers] Alternative CMake Syntax

Hello everyone, I've been thinking about designing a new syntax for CMake that better expresses some of the functionality that I've seen in modern CMake code. I've started a CMake parsing library and plan on using it to design the new syntax while maintaining support for the traditional syntax as

[cmake-developers] NASM Bug

I noticed that CMake strips the trailing forward slash from an include directory when assembling an object file with NASM. The trailing slash is required with NASM. See section 2.1.16 from the NASM manual . I've included an example that illustrates the bug. I

[cmake-developers] Mini Make

Hello! I just finished the first release of a cross platform, minimalistic Make implementation. It was made specifically to run CMake generated Makefiles on Linux and Windows (haven't tested on macOS yet). It's on GitHub and it's called Mini Make. Sorry

[cmake-developers] FindFreetype Maintenance

an environment variable called FREETYPE_DIR, but I think adding a search to standard installation paths would be preferable for most. -- Taylor Holberton Bay Point, California -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki
