[Cmake] Cmake flexibility

[Neil Killeen]

Hello all

I posted this message a few days ago, but with no response (which
was the fate of my previous post, now that I think about it :-( ).

Could someone comment please ?  I don't think there is anything
difficult/subtle in this.

thanks
Neil


Hi all

I am generating a s/w system with a directory structure along the lines of

Source
  Code
    Modules
      Module1
        Test
      Module2
        Test
    Applications
      App1
      App2
  Documentation


1) I have put Test (i.e. where the test programs and scripts go) under
the class implementation, rather than have a whole parallel
Testing directory (e.g. like in ITK).

The trouble is that Cmake seems to like to make recurseive
makefiles.  What I'd like is make files in Module1 and Module1/Test
but not that the latter gets built wheneveer the former is built.
I.e. the programmer drops into Test when ready.   If I don't
use the SUBDIRS CMake command, no makefiles at all get
build in Test...

How do I do this with cmake ?


2)  In Source/Documentation there will be all sorts; HTML, LateX etc. The
built output needs to go in OUtput/Docs.

CMake only seems to make C++/C makefiles.  Is there a way to
put other compilation types into it (e.g.  Latex, Latex2html etc) ?
Or does one simply have to write your own build scripts for
these types of documents.
