Hi All, I am new to using CMake and have been introduced to it only after the big KDE news. I have since studied its capability and was excited with its simplicity as compared to the autotools. :-)
I am currently in the process of shifting an existing custom makefile based project to CMake for easier and superior maintenance. The project is for embedded systems and is used on multiple architecture processors and several board designs of each supported architecture. Think of it like the Linux kernel. The following are a set of goals that I would like to achieve with CMake. 1) Allow selection of components to be built. Each component (sub-project) is located under a subfolder of the root. 2) Build debug and release versions for each of the board/arch by just issuing one command. 3) Support multiple compilers, cross compilers depending on the architecture. (mostly GCC, but it could be another like Metrowerks) 4) Support code that is specific to board, specific to architecture and common to all. The first was easy to do but I’m lost wrt the other two. Besides that, is it possible to list supported architectures and supported boards under each architecture? I mean, like using OPTION() shows two values (ON/OFF), can I list out other options like x86, PPC, ARM7, ARM9 etc for Arch? And then options listed for ‘Board’ will depend on the selection for arch? This is needed if requirement 2 listed above is not possible. Are there any tutorials, samples available for this kind of a project? BTW, the project does not build any executable but only a library for each of the sub-project organized suitably. There are a set of tests written for the libraries and I would like to have the test execution (on the target board) to be automated as well. :-) -- Cheers! kitts _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
