Descriptionas requested (http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2011-August/045960.html [^])



The script...



# Copy & paste from CMake Wiki

# Works only if CMake runs in the Visual Studio DOS Window

SET(MASMFound FALSE)

# test whether it is a x86 machine and masm is available

IF("${CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR}" MATCHES "x86")

        ENABLE_LANGUAGE(ASM_MASM)

        IF(CMAKE_ASM_MASM_COMPILER_WORKS)

                SET(MASMFound TRUE)

        ENDIF(CMAKE_ASM_MASM_COMPILER_WORKS)

ENDIF("${CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR}" MATCHES "x86")

# no assembler found

IF(NOT MASMFound)

        MESSAGE(STATUS NOT)

ENDIF(NOT MASMFound)



...still generates the message:

The ASM_MASM compiler identification is unknown <----------------------!

Found assembler: C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio

10.0/VC/bin/ml.exe



A subsequent...



ADD_EXECUTABLE(cTest CTest.c cAsm2.asm)



does not invoke the MASM

I need your help with that.
Does the MS assembler ml.exe have a command line argument so it just prints its name or version number and exits then ?

E.g. the GNU assembler as does this with --version:
$ as --version
GNU assembler (Linux/GNU Binutils) 2.21.51.0.6.20110118

$

Is there something similar for ml ?
What does e.g. "ml /?" print ?
Can you please post the output here ?

Thanks
Alex

usage: ML [ options ] filelist [ /link linkoptions]

Run "ML /help" or "ML /?" for more info

The Microsoft logo with version information cannot be redirected: ml > tm.txt. so I assume for the logo the masm does not use stdout.

Can you please try with the DetectMasmCompilerId branch on cmake stage ?
http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=stage/cmake.git [^]

Otherwise, you may simply replace the CMakeDetermineASMCompiler.cmake
from your installation with the one attached here, this should work too (at least for 2.8.6, not quire sure for 2.8.5).

The result is:
The ASM_MASM compiler identification is MSVC

Found assembler: C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/VC/bin/ml.exe

YES1C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/VC/bin/ml.exe

Did you put the "YES1" there ?

Does it work for you now ?

The YES is to test CMAKE_ASM_MASM_COMPILER_WORKS and CMAKE_ASM_MASM_COMPILER.

So the first part is solved, but
    ADD_EXECUTABLE(cTest CTest.c cAsm2.asm)
still does not start the MASM.

Are you using Makefiles or VisualStudio projects ?

Only VisualStudio projects.

Ok.
Currently, assembler is only supported in the Makefile-based generators.
I don't have a Windows machine available, so I cannot really work on this.

You can have a look at Source/cmLocalVisualStudio7Generator.cxx, void cmLocalVisualStudio7Generator::AddHelperCommands(), and check what happens if you add a "lang.insert("ASM");" there.
Maybe it makes it work.

I'm closing this one, because 0011536 is actually the ticket for ASM support in the VisualStudio generators.
So, please check whether what I suggested, and post the reply not here but in 0011536.

Thanks

What does "fixed in version" mean? If it means the problem is solved, then I disagree. The MASM is still not invoked in 2.8.7rc1

Alex closed this because it's a duplicate of the existing bug 0011536.

I set the "version" fields so that this bug shows up on the roadmap and change log pages.

It's "resolved" as a duplicate, but it's not really fixed yet.

Sorry for the confusion.

Monitor the other bug to be notified as changes are made that may be relevant to your interest.
