I’ve looked more in depth at the issue, and while this doesn’t work yet, we’re looking to enable this in a future Windows Insider Flight for better windows/linux interop.

Also, for addressing invoking bash.exe without copying it to SysWow64, you can reference it by C:\Windows\Sysnative\bash.exe from a 32-bit process. It still doesn’t make the target succeed, but at least it removes the need to copy the file around.

So as long as the build folder is different I could have both building in sync everytime. Get the idea? If I just do a full build inside bash everything works great =) On Wed, Aug 10, 2016 at 11:23 PM, <"Máté Ferenc Nagy-Egri via CMake <cmake@cmake"@public.kitware.com<mailto:%22Máté%20Ferenc%20Nagy-Egri%20via%20CMake%20%3ccmake@[email protected]>> wrote: +1 for the initiative. Wouldn’t it make more sense however to make it a CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME? If I remember correctly that’s how MinGW works, and this should be something very similar. Feladó: Tiago Macarios<mailto:[email protected]> Elküldve: 2016. augusztus 11., csütörtök 1:51 Címzett: CMake ML<mailto:[email protected]> Tárgy: [CMake] Bash on ubuntu on windows as target Hi All, Windows 10 anniversary edition comes with support to execute Linux binaries. I have been trying to use it with one of our projects, but I have been getting a weird error. Maybe someone can help me? The target is pretty simple: set(BASH "C:\\Windows\\System32\\bash.exe") set(ARGS "--help") add_custom_target(linux ${BASH} ${ARGS}) If I then build that project in visual studio (with some extra verbosity) I get: Target "CustomBuild" in file "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets" from project "C:\_Working\delegate\build\linux.vcxproj" (target "_BuildGenerateSourcesAction" depends on it): Using "CustomBuild" task from assembly "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140\Microsoft.Build.CppTasks.Common.dll".

Done building target "CustomBuild" in project "linux.vcxproj" -- FAILED. The command line seems correct. If I just copy it to the windows prompt it works fine: C:\Users\tmc> C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe --help GNU bash, version 4.3.11(1)-release-(x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) Usage: /bin/bash [GNU long option] [option] ... /bin/bash [GNU long option] [option] script-file ...

Type `/bin/bash -c help' for more information about shell builtin commands. Use the `bashbug' command to report bugs. I also tried to use it from the visual studio "external tools" and it seems to work. So I am not sure what is going on. Is there a way to debug custom_targets? In case anyone tries the example above on a 64 bit machine: You will need to copy bash.exe from system32 to syswow64 since VS is 32 bits.
