Dan:
I think I'm getting closer to understanding the root of the problem. It
may not be (non)inheritance of the configuration. The <configuration>
element contained
<compilerStartOptions>${compiler.debug.options}</compilerStartOptions>
and 'compiler.debug.options' is set in a <properties> element within a
profile for a sub-project, whose build is run last.
I'm trying to create a project based on your recommended organization,
but with some twists. The project hierarchy looks like
dxr/
pom.xml
dxr-core/
pom.xml <--- defines platform profiles, which specify
<modules> per platform
dxr-core-binaries/
pom.xml <--- <configuration><compilerStartOptions>
application-a/ element adds ${compiler.debug.options}
pom.xml
application-b/
pom.xml
dxr-core-libraries/
pom.xml <--- <configuration><compilerStartOptions>
library-a/ element adds ${compiler.debug.options}
pom.xml
library-b/
pom.xml
WINDOWS-X86/
pom.xml <--- specifies <modules> as 'dxr-core-binaries'
and 'dxr-core-libraries'.
defines a profile for debug, which sets
<properties><compiler.debug.options>
LINUX-X86/
SOLARIS-SPARC/
<both empty at the moment>
src/main/c-cpp/my.company.com/bin/application-a/
<source files>
/application-b/
<source files>
/lib/library-a/
<source files>
/library-b/
<source files>
/include/
<source header files>
target/bin/
/lib/
dxr-support/
dxr-utilities/
<both empty at the moment>
[ In reality, there will be six core applications and as many as four
core libraries in 'dxr-core'. The 'dxr-support' project will have five
applications, and 'dxr-utilities' could have as many as a dozen
additional apps. ]
Both sub-projects 'dxr-core-binaries' and 'dxr-core-libraries' give their
<parent> as <artifactId>dxr-core</artifactId>.
Oddly the build sequence is
dxr
dxr-core
dxr-core-libraries
dxr-core-binaries
dxr-core-WINDOWS-X86
Note that 'dxr-core-WINDOWS-X86' is last. Its profiles define the value
for the free-form property <compiler.debug.options>, but
${compiler.debug.options} appears to be 'null' when the compilation
actually occurs. It seemed as though the value wasn't being inherited.
I'm trying like mad to avoid duplication at all levels, and especially
not require the reproduction of the project's entire sub-project
organization under each platform project (as per your original outline).
I'm also investigating the use of the (gcc) mingw compiler on Windows.
The compiler and linker command lines would be normalized at that point
and, theoretically, there may not be a need to differentiate the CLI per
platform -- although artifact naming conventions, especially for libraries,
vary between Windows and *nix.
Ideas?
Brad
