Summary | 0015358: Clarify try_compile and try_run documentation | ||||||||
Description | try_compile command apparently ignores INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES argument for unknown reason. As documentation (http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.1/command/try_compile.html [^]) reads: "Some extra flags that can be included are, INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, LINK_DIRECTORIES, and LINK_LIBRARIES. COMPILE_DEFINITIONS are -Ddefinition that will be passed to the compile line." But unfortunately parameter of INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES argument won't be transferred to CMakeLists.txt. It also be true for other arguments mentioned in that paragraph. | ||||||||
Steps To Reproduce | 1. Write try_compile() command with INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, e.g.: try_compile( COMPILE_RESULT ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR} test.cpp INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/include OUTPUT_VARIABLE COMPILE_LOG ) 2. Notice that INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES parameter isn't transferred neither to temporary CMakeLists.txt in CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp (with --debug-trycompile enabled) nor to compiler command line arguments. | ||||||||

There is no such INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES option listed in the signature. The "extra flags" is referring to the CMAKE_FLAGS argument, to which you can give "-DINCLUDE_DIRECTORIES=/dir/a/include;/dir/b/include" to get custom include directories. The documentation needs to be revised and clarified. |

Thanks for clarification of this. So, is it right that all these three options (INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, LINK_DIRECTORIES and LINK_LIBRARIES) are meant to be used with CMAKE_FLAGS, but LINK_LIBRARIES can be also used separately as try_compile() argument? Generally yes, I agree that it's apparently documentation issue and not a bug. |

Re 0015358:0037738: Originally all three of those were meant only for use with -D but then the LINK_LIBRARIES option was added as an explicit argument in order to cleanly perform translation of imported targets. If LINK_LIBRARIES is an argument then it no longer works as a -D flag. The documentation is out of date on that I think. |

Thanks again for detailed information. Now it's completely clear for me. |
