Re: [cmake-developers] Make it easier for beginners

[Wesley Smith]

I agree that if you do a search for how to setup a project with cmake, it's
hard to know what's best practice.  As cmake has evolved, the best practice
has changed and many old style techniques still return toward the top of
search results.  For me, the best resources have been:

http://preshing.com/20170522/learn-cmakes-scripting-language-in-15-minutes/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsXLMQ6WgIk

I still don't understand the scoped syntax in Daniel Pfeifer's talk (e.g.
boost::boost).  And CPack was really opaque to me until I bought the cmake
book.  I wish there were better tutorials on CPack and on how to write
cmake scripts that play well as dependencies on other projects using cmake.

Re: [cmake-developers] VS Project Settings User Defines

[Wesley Smith]

The only reference I've been able to find to this property is via the
VisualStudio SDK https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh710870.aspx .
It doesn't seem to be part of any compiler configuration.  The conclusion
here being that none of the flags in the VS tables map to this XML tag.  I
wonder if the solution here is to add something like the VS_GLOBAL_ prefix
or somehow attach custom flags to a target config e.g. attach a flag to the
Debug|x64 config of target X.

[cmake-developers] VS Project Settings User Defines

[Wesley Smith]

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to add user defined XML entries
to the project config section of a visual studio file.  From what I can see
it's not, but maybe someone here know of a code path I haven't come across.

Specifically, I'm trying to add these tags:

..\..\add-in.ruleset
true

These are added on a per-config basis.  From what I can see, per-config
tags are added via Flag arguments, which are hard coded into the source.
Basically, I need to get some data into the FlagMap written by

void cmVisualStudioGeneratorOptions::OutputFlagMap(std::ostream& fout,
   const char* indent)

The tags written in its calling function
(cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator::WriteMSToolConfigurationValuesManaged)
are also hard coded, so I believe this is the only place possible for
dynamically generating tags.


Any ideas?

thanks!
wes

Re: [cmake-developers] Debugging issues with enable_language(CSHARP)

[Wesley Smith]

So the answer is enable_language(CSHARP) should be enable_language(CSharp).

Re: [cmake-developers] Debugging issues with enable_language(CSHARP)

Thanks David,
I'll have a look at that.  Here's my CMake script

```
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.8.0)
project(add-in)

enable_language(CSHARP)
```
