I don't know what sorts of files those are; they don't exist but they
get created, they're not tracked, and not installed...
They sounds like a build product, which is a target, (even it it's just
part of a product, it's still a target)
Exactly, these are mostly BYPRODUCTS, but also OUTPUT of build commands,
i.e. targets.
Another thing I noticed is that my CMAKE_GENERATOR are now buried
in subfolders. To change that I set PREFIX
"${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/workspaces". Now all external projects are
using the same prefix and are therefore generated into the same
directory 'workspaces'.
right ?
Except for my generators, and I think I wasn't clear enough about this
part. I am using -G"Eclipse 2 - Unix Makefiles" for each external
project. Note that this leaves me with a Makefile for the "super build"
containing *all* targets of all projects. It *additionally* creates a
Makefile for each external project individually. So I can do stuff like:
/*cd build/ && make* # /to build the entire project or
*/cd build/workspaces/src/ext1-build/ && make/* # to build a specific
external project, /ext1./
This is what I am after -> a multi-workspace super build. By workspace
here I mean an eclipse workspace, the terminology does not exist in
CMake. Note that each project has its own root binary path, meaning that
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR} = build # for super build
and
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR} = build/workspaces/src/ext1-build # for external
project ext1
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} is then relative to any of either
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}'s.
