Hi,
I just downloaded CMake and am trying out its
windows and Linux builds.
The projects made by CMake work beautifully
with VC++ (I'm using 6.0). Thanks for the immensely
useful tool with support of variety of make
formats.
I was wondering why doesn't CMake support
gmake Makefile generation on Windows as it does
in Linux? I hope I'm not missing out something obvious !
I was considering switching our build environment
to CMake with VC++ IDE as GUI. We use a port of gcc cross
compiler and currently we are deploying commercial VC++
plugin to do the job. This plugin does not do a good job
when it comes to automatically updation of the dependencies.
Can this be done with current implementation of CMake?
I tried my hand by adding header dependencies in
USERDEP__HACK for a source file in the .dsp file
generated by CMake for VC++ projects and it worked.
So my question is can we tweak some module description
(or add new say GCC_VC module) so that CMake emits
this dependency info in .dsp and updates it on subsequent builds?
Thoughts?
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Nitin
