I checked in a change in cvs yesterday.
Now cmake tries to load:
Platform/CMAKE_SYSTEM.cmake
Platform/CMAKE_SYSTEM-<COMPILER_BASENAME>.cmake
Platform/CMAKE_SYSTEM-<COMPILER_BASENAME>-CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR.cmake
So if you set up CMAKE_MODULE_PATH to point to some directory where you have
your cmake files, and if you set CMAKE_SYSTEM and CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR
accordingly, it should work (if you put them in a subdir "Platform").
I suggest the following:
Generic.cmake // basically empty, will be added to cmake
Generic-chc12.cmake // rules for this compiler, might be added to cmake
Generic-chc12-MySpecificTargetHardware.cmake // everything for your target
// hardware, in general no such file will be added to
// cmake, since this is very user specific
This might now already work if you simply specify CMAKE_SYSTEM,
CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR and CMAKE_C_COMPILER via -D from the command line
(i.e. without toolchain file).
Let me know how this works for you.
Alex
