Hi list,
I'm on my wits end with include_external_msproject, add_dependencies and build
type.
This is the situation: I have a CMake project with an external static library A
which is included in the build via include_external_msproject, a static library
B and a binary C.
B is depemding on A
C is depending on B
My upper (above the directories for B and C) CMakeLists.txt looks like this:
include_external_msproject(A ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/A.vcxproj)
The CMakeLists.txt for B has these (and other) parts:
cmake_policy(GET CMP0046 cmp)
if (NOT cmp STREQUAL "OLD")
cmake_policy(SET CMP0046 OLD)
endif ()
add_dependencies (B A)
cmake_policy(SET CMP0046 NEW)
target_link_libraries(B ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/Win32/${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}/A.lib)
The CMakeLists.txt for C has these (and other) parts:
target_link_libraries(C B)
In reality there are othe libs too. I reduced complexity to make it easier to
understand the scenario.
The stuff above works fine for CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug, meaning in Visual Studio
2013 in the project build dependencies for B I see that it's depending on A and
so the build order is A first then B. The project build dependencies for C say
that the binary is depending on B and A and the build oreder is A first, then B
and then C.
Perfect.
But with CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release I see that B is depending on A, but C is ONLY
depending on B, but NOT on A.
Can anybody explain what's going on? Any hint would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Axel
PS: I know that setting policies to OLD isn't the nice way, but I don't know of
any other solution the depend on a external Visual Studio project.
