[CMake] CMake Checks Cache

Hi, If you use CMake in a CI you should probably have a look at how to speed up your CMake build: https://github.com/cristianadam/cmake-checks-cache In the case of LLVM + Clang on a Windows box the speed up was either 2.66x or 3.32x, depending on the CMake generator. Even if you don't use CMake

[CMake] UNKNOWN IMPORTED vs INTERFACE IMPORTED for non-CMake library

Hi, I somewhat recently filed a bug report regarding target_link_libraries favoring target names over library names (https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/17911). Brad King suggested also that I switch to UNKNOWN instead of INTERFACE for the IMPORTed targets created by my find-modules. In

Re: [CMake] Spaces in var=value list in *_command

Are you trying to construct a BUILD_COMMAND line that looks like CXXFLAGS=-g -02 -w && ./configure? If so, you should be able to do that with the CMake -E env command option like this ( Starting in CMake 3.1 ): set(cxx_flags "-g -O2 -w") set(command_to_run ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E environment) Externa

Re: [CMake] Generator expressions containing spaces

The space is used to separate arguments passed to COMMAND. So your generator expression is splitted before evaluation and elements are no longer valid generator expression. So, to solve your problem, encapsulate the generator expression inside quotes. And apply the following advices for correct

[CMake] Generator expressions containing spaces

Hi, I recently learned that the COMMAND line in a custom command supports generator expressions. In particular, what makes this powerful is that if the expression evaluates to the empty string, no corresponding code will be added to the target (as documented in the docs
