Re: [CMake] Two phase install?

2016-03-24 Thread Scott Aron Bloom 
I am not using a dashboard.. 

What I found is this.. When running a test from a VCXProj system, CMake sets up 
the custom command as follows
Ctest . -C $(Configuration)

The $(Configuration) is a visual studio/devenv variable, that is set by the 
system baed on the current configuration.

However, when running cmake via a "super project" to a "subordinate external 
project" (sorry if my nomenclature is wrong), it runs without the -C option.

Using a custom TEST_COMMAND doesn’t help in the ExternalProject_Add command, 
because for windows VS multi-config setups, the current configuration isn’t 
known as a CMAKE variable at the proper time

So I descided to just "hard code" it in, like you suggested.

Are you running a dashboard script (ctest -S script) when this happens? Or 
calling ctest directly with other arguments?

If you are running a -S script, you can specify the configuration to build and 
test in the script itself with the CTEST_CONFIGURATION_TYPE script variable. 
Read the docs here on the ctest_build and ctest_test
steps: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.5/manual/ctest.1.html#ctest-build-step

The ctest_build command also takes a "CONFIGURATION" argument directly, but 
surprisingly, the ctest_test command does not seem to have that arg. 
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.5/command/ctest_build.html
and https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.5/command/ctest_test.html

If you're not calling a -S script, I'm not sure how else you can do it besides 
passing "-C Release" on the command line...

No. Just as with cmake-generated solutions, you can build those on the command 
line using msbuild or devenv, the one used by cmake depends on the cmake 
version. You can even use cmake itself to trigger the right build command for 
those. Parallel building must be enabled by hand when using msbuild. For 
devenv, the setting from the IDE is used.

The final hurdle Im hitting.  When ctest is run, on windows I get the complaint 
that the configuration is not set.

Is there any way to set the -C option to ctest?

I am pretty sure ExternalProject_Add only works with generators
associated with build commands you can run from the command line such

avoid all the visual studio generators, and instead use one of

Hi Scott:

Some of my further comments are somewhat off your original topic since I 
discuss parallel build issues for the case of larger numbers of projects in the 
superproject, but I thought you might be interested in that case even though 
you just have two projects in your superproject.

For the superproject (epa_build in my case) I configure the 
EPA_PARALLEL_BUILD_COMMAND variable to create the build command that I use for 
all individual projects.  That can be anything accessible from the command-line 
such as nmake in the Windows case and make in the Unix case.  So in your case, 
your overall superproject could specify

set(SUPERPROJECT_BUILD_COMMAND make -j4)

(say), and then each of your two projects could be configured via 
ExternalProject_Add to use ${SUPERPROJECT_BUILD_COMMAND} as the build command 
for each individual project.  But getting back to the more complex case, for 
Unix on Windows (e.g. Cygwin, MinGW-w64/MSYS2,
MinGW/MSYS) I find parallel build options are not reliable (presumably because 
of make bugs in all those platforms) so to work around that issue, epa_build 
deliberately drops any -j options that might be specified in 
EPA_PARALLEL_BUILD_COMMAND for those platforms.  But for the Linux case (and I 
assume Mac OS X, also although I haven't tried it yet), the -j option for make 
does work reliably so I allow that option to be part of the 
EPA_PARALLEL_BUILD_COMMAND for that platform.

N.B. with 60 projects being built (each one using a parallel build on
Linux) with one overall make command, I am currently careful to build each of 
those projects one at a time (i.e., avoid any parallel options on the overall 
build or just use -j1) to avoid overwhelming my computer with parallel builds.  
However, come to think of it I have always used that combination of -j options 
(-j4 for individual project builds and -j1 for overall build) out of inertia, 
and there are many other ways that avoidance can be done (e.g., -j4 on the 
overall build and -j1 on the individual builds) so long as the product of the 
two integers specified by the -j options does not get too excessive.  So I may 
do some experimentation concerning the most efficient combination of individual 
and overall -j options the next time I do an epa_build on Linux.

Hi Scott:

I suspect Nicholas has already given you better (simpler) examples
that are more suitable for your two-project needs, but if you are
interested in a more complex case, then you may want to look at my
epa_build project (which builds ~60 PLplot dependencies as well as
PLplot itself with all dependencies between those projects handled
correctly with one simple function call per project).  See the
cmake/epa_build subdirectory of the PLplot-5.11.1 release that you can
download from SourceForge following links at
.  There are also instructions
at the URL (click on the Code link) for accessing our git version of
PLplot which contains the epa_build project in the same
cmake/epa_build location.

Re: [CMake] Two phase install?

2016-03-23 Thread Scott Aron Bloom 
Thanks I'm getting close now.

However, for the two sub projects, there doesn’t seem to be a way to run the 
make stage with -j 6 or any make options.

Am I missing something? I see how to set CMAKE_ARGS but no MAKE_ARGS

Do you have apointer to an example of using the external_project.

I have split the projects up, and install the first one.. But I cant seem to 
get the external project on the downstream cmake run to properly depend that 
the previous one was run

Yes.  I suggest you build and install your application and the rest of your 
project as two separate CMake projects with a common install-tree prefix.

Of course, you could stop there with two completely independent projects that 
you (and your users) learn to build and install in the correct order. However, 
CMake allows you to organize such multiple builds and installs with 
ExternalProject_Add.  I like and use that a lot for large numbers of different 
projects that depend on each other, and you might also find it useful for your 
case of just two independent projects.

Alan


Thanks, the ExternalProject_Add is exactly what I needed a hint towards!!!

[CMake] Two phase install?

2016-03-23 Thread Scott Aron Bloom 
Here is my problem.

The project I have creates an application, that is needed to build the rest of 
the project.

To imagine it, imagine the application is a custom yacc/lex based parser that 
reads in a file and generates an output file.

In order for the application to run correctly, it needs an install step.  
However, the results of the application, are part of the final install.

Is there anyway to say "build this, and create its install area" and afterwards 
run the rest of the requirements for install?
