[CMake] How to build CMake so it works on an older Linux?

I just discovered that CMake no longer builds on my Ubuntu 12.04. I need to build binaries that are compatible with that ABI. I see that your binary distribution of CMake 3.11 still works on Ubuntu 12.04. Can you tell me what you do to achieve this? What are you doing for your official builds?

[CMake] Why isn't target_link_libraries not enough in some cases?

Hi, I am fetching and building SDL2 using FetchContent and then using target_link_libraries(MyExe SDL2) in the hopes that the required include directories and libraries will be added populated properly. The example project can be found here: https://github.com/samaursa/cmake_fetch_content_SDL2

Re: [CMake] How to build CMake so it works on an older Linux?

The latest CMake requires C++11 compiler, so what you need is just a newer GCC which supports C++11 at your platform, that's it. Usually the ABI is not the problem but the libstdc++, you can use a old Ubuntu with old libstdc++ but build CMake with new compiler and make sure it links with old

Re: [CMake] [FYI] clang-3.4 vs cmake-3.11.0 (How to build CMake so it works on an older Linux?)

The emplace() is new API from C++11. Be aware that GCC suite actually is independent from the libstdc++, so if you have a newer compiler, the compiler might still pick the older libstdc++ without the new API. This issue doesn't exist at Windows, since Visual Studio is a complete sytem. This

Dear Bo Zhou, Thank you for prompt reply. > Be aware that GCC suite actually is independent from the libstdc++, so if you > have a newer compiler, the compiler might still pick the older libstdc++ > without the new API. Oh, so, even if I installed clang-3.4, still it uses older (maybe C++03)

Re: [CMake] [FYI] clang-3.4 vs cmake-3.11.0 (How to build CMake so it works on an older Linux?)

Sorry for bothering subscribers for posting about C++11 environment instead of cmake itself. Now I understand building gcc >= 4.8.5 manually might be easier, in comparison with the quest of libc++ for clang-3.4. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39332406/install-libc-on-ubuntu Regards,

Re: [CMake] How to build CMake so it works on an older Linux?

Dear Bo Zhou, Thank you for the info! Now I'm checking Ubuntu 12.04 in LXC. So, gcc-4.8.5 or later would be needed for C++11, it seems that the last version of gcc officially provided for Ubuntu-12 was 4.7. oh. According to https://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html , clang-3.3 supports C++11, and

Re: [CMake] [FYI] clang-3.4 vs cmake-3.11.0 (How to build CMake so it works on an older Linux?)

Dear Bo Zhou, Sorry, I've confirmed by myself. By default, clang-3.4 for Ubuntu prioritizes old g++ header files, and clang header files are searched as a fallback. I can customize the searching order by -nostdinc++... Regards, mpsuzuki suzuki toshiya wrote: > Dear Bo Zhou, > > Thank you for

[CMake] Overloading/shadowing/redefining CMake intrinsic commands

I have been moving towards modern CMake where includes/compiler-flags/libraries/etc. are using target properties and transitive usage requirements which has greatly simplified setting up Modern Fortran build systems. In addition, if you're going to vendor all/most of your package's dependencies

[CMake] (no subject)

On windows I found an issue with Visual studio where intel fortran was attempting to preprocess lowercase .f90 files. Intel's documentation states that it does not preprocess these files. Looking into the cmake source code I found: in Modules/Platform/Windows-Intel-Fortran line 3:

Re: [CMake] Overloading/shadowing/redefining CMake intrinsic commands

Hi Robert, Thanks so much for the speedy response. That is certainly dangerous looking. I'm sure everyone will want to buy me a beer/coffee after I crash their machines during configuration. I almost wish you had responded "impossible" because now I have the temptation of trying it out! Thanks,

[cmake-developers] execute_process on windows uses CreateProcess

Hello CMake developpers. We are using execute_process in some of our tests for a Qt based application (ParaView) However, on windows, the GUI does not show up and that caused some problems for rendering. We have investigated the problem, and it looks like execute_process on windows is based on
