Summary0005796: Support of Microsoft Embedded Visual C++ 4.0
DescriptionHi!

I have made an extension to the current 2.4.7 release to support generation of Microsoft Embedded Visual C++ 4.0 projects (primary by adapting the VS6 generator).

Is there any interest to add this generator to the official release? If so, what would be the best way to send the changes (some new files like the sources of the local/global generator, evc project templates and some changed files).

Best regards,

Joern Tuemmler

It would be best to create your patch against CVS CMake. Would you also be able to run a dashboard that tests this new generator?

The changes were done for the 2.4.7 stable release. I've seen that there are some differences to the cvs-version, so need to adapt the generator. I will do this as soon as i have time for it. I then will also try to run a dashboard ...

Did you find some time to work on this ?
Even if not, can you create a patch of what you have ?

Hi!

Sorry for the late answer ...

I've attached a ZIP containing the patch for the current CVS version of cmake (as of January the 31st, 2008). This ZIP contains:
- a patch-file (created by cvs diff) patching existing cmake-files to include
  evc support
- new files in the respective directories (cm[Global|Local]EVCGenerator,
  Templates, etc)
- a sample project i've used to test the generator

The generator has the following limitations:
- When using EVC, executables must have a WinMain function instead of main.
- You need to specify the LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH in the top CMakeLists.txt, e.g.
  SET (LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH ${CMakeTest_SOURCE_DIR}/bin)
  LINK_DIRECTORIES (${LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH})
- When you open the EVC project, you need to select one of the projects that
  generate something (lib, executable) as start-project. If you keep the
  "ALL_BUILD" project selected, you will get an error-message after building
  the project.

We will not be addressing this for the upcoming CMake 2.8.3 release.

The groundwork for this issue is being laid, but it will not be "finished enough" for inclusion in the 2.8.3 release.
