Actually, when I used the macro I found that though this macro gives a useful functionality it is not exactly what I wanted. What I want to do can be illustrated the following example: I have a main project/dir - projectSystem I have three component/dir - projectcomponent1, projectcomponent2, projectcomponent3. Now on windows from the directory where the cmake generated files are present, at present I issue a command : cmake --build PATH_TO_PROJECTSYSTEM This builds the projectSystem alongwith projectComponent1, projectComponent2 & projectComponent3. Now, I want to do two things on command window(from the dir where cmake build files are generated): 1. Query the list of sub-targets(components) available. In this case the result is a list projectComponent1 projectComponent2 projectComponent3 2. Now based on the list in 1, optionally build any component. For example issue a command: cmake --build projectComponent1 Can we achieve this? Or is it asking for too much :) Thanks, Vikas _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
