[Cmake] CMSYSTEMTOOLS_STANDALONE

[John Biddiscombe]

Ken,

I've added a brief
#ifdef CMSYSTEMTOOLS_EXPORTS
 #define CMSYSTEMTOOLS_EXPORT _declspec dll(import)
etc etc
to cmStandardincludes.h
and class CMSYSTEMTOOLS_EXPORT classname
to the
cmSystemtools, cmDirectory, cmRegularExpression
and #ifndefed out the code that pulls in external stuff...but it seems like
you have a more direct dll related plan. Shall I hold off commiting anything
and see what you're up to or shall I commit it?

My External project simply includes the above files (cxx and h), defines
SMSYSTEMTOOLS_STANDALONE and SMSYSTEMTOOLS_EXPORTS and is working fine
