All, Thank you in advance,
I'm an experienced CMake user, in the C++ realm. I'm presently working outside that realm, porting a 200-project solution from Visual Studio (.vcxproj, .csproj) files to CMake. I'm very pleased that CMake has adopted CSharp! Thank you! I seem to have uncovered a bug where one CSharp project depends on another. The first CMakeLists.txt: cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.12) project(DockPanel CSharp) ... add_library(DockPanel MODULE ${SOURCES_files_Compile} ${SOURCES_files_EmbeddedResource}) set_property(TARGET DockPanel APPEND PROPERTY VS_DOTNET_REFERENCES "System") The second CMakeLists.txt: cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.12) project(CSharpFramework CSharp) ... add_library(CSharpFramework MODULE ${SOURCES_files_Compile} ${SOURCES_files_EmbeddedResource}) target_link_libraries(CSharpFramework PUBLIC $<$<CONFIG:Debug>:DockPanel> ) set_property(TARGET CSharpFramework APPEND PROPERTY VS_DOTNET_REFERENCES "System") (I haven't shown everything, as I'm extracting these from a huge system, but I can elaborate if necessary...) CMake configures and generates (to VS2015) without error. Things proceed as expected until it's time to link the second project. Then, I get: ..\DockPanel\Debug\DockPanel.dll : fatal error LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0x358 A bit of investigative work shows that the generated CSharpFramework.vcxproj contains, as expected: <ProjectReference Include="D:\Havok\hk2014_2_5_Simulation\Source\build-x64-msvc-v140-\Vision\Editor\vForge\DockPanel\DockPanel.vcxproj"> <Project>{DCCB7EE9-726F-3D42-A673-D6CCB4EF6675}</Project> <Name>DockPanel</Name> </ProjectReference> But, it also contains: <Link> <AdditionalDependencies>..\DockPanel\Release\DockPanel.dll; ...</AdditionalDependencies> ... </Link> The inclusion of DockPanel.dll in the AdditionalDependencies section is, I believe, causing Visual Studio to try to open it as a '.lib', and failing. I expected the generated .vcxproj to contain only the ProjectReference section for DockPanel, and not include it in AdditionalDependencies. Can you confirm that this is a bug? Thank you, Phil
