Correction: *I haven't tried this yet, but I am hoping it will work well* - Pull Put my sub-projects (my own custom libraries) into their own independent git repos and pull them into my main project using "FetchContent". Then when I run "FetchContent" it will checkout the sub-projects and I will

Hi Craig, Thank you for the detailed description! To answer some of your questions: - This project will not be incorporated into a Linux distribution, however I would like to keep it cross platform and it should work on Windows, Mac, and Linux. - All of the pieces of the project

I have been working on a new C++ project and I am trying to decide whether I should use CMake as my package management system or if I should use a dedicated package management tool such as Conan. For more information on Conan see: https://conan.io/ I am trying to understand the main difference

Dear CMake Developers Team, I have a question regarding CMake. We are currently working on a rather big project and we would like to build it with CMake. The structure of the project looks like the following: we have a root directory where we have 50+ subdirectories with projects in them with

Re: [cmake-developers] Using CMake as a library from Python

Charles, I'd like to comment on a minor issue: CMakeLists.txt files don't specify user-specific data like source and build dirs (for a reason) yet your POC listfile contains this line: cmake.init("Ninja", "/media/dev/src/cmaketest", "/media/dev/build/cmaketest") which sets the source and

I took the time to make it work again, so I pushed it here: https://github.com/packadal/CMake/tree/cmake-python The whole branch is ugly as can be, and because I started with an old CMake and recently rebased, the python abstraction might be bloated already, but it works in the nominal case, and

Re: [cmake-developers] Using CMake as a library from Python

Yes, this is POC-only. I felt too lazy to make an argparse object and properly perform these tasks. Obviously, the generator and source dir should be arguments. The build dir should be the execution dir of the script, to mimic CMake behavior. This should not be difficult, but as I said I wanted

CMake-developers, An issue with our compiler-rt CMake builds came to my attention yesterday, and I’m wondering how to best deal with it. Compiler-rt is a bit of a special flower. One part of it is a bunch of runtime libraries, which are basically just dylibs and static archives, nothing to
