[CMake] Different configurations with Visual Studio

[aaron.meadows at thomsonreuters.com]

I don't believe this is possible.  There was actually a discussion about
this, simultaneous to your question, regarding x86 and x64 builds in the
same solution files.  The answer given was that it is not possible, and
it is better to have an x86 build tree and an x64 build tree.  There was
a link given to a deeper discussion:
http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2009-June/029897.html

 

The thread yesterday has the subject: Generating a combined x86 and x64
Visual Studio project

 

HTH!

Thanks, this works. Actually

if(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES)
   set(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES Debug Release DebugMX31 ReleaseMX31)

   set(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES "${CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES}" CACHE
STRING

     "Reset the configurations to what we need" FORCE)
 endif()

also works for me. I've added it to the FAQ of the Wiki. But this is
only half of what need. I actually need to make this generate settings
for a different platform as well, I mean 'platform' in the Visual Studio
sense, also called 'solution platform' in Visual Studios configuration
manager, which is Win32 by default, but I need it for both Win32 and
MX31.

Can this be done with CMake? I'm afraid not, but if it is possible, how?
In the project file it is written as something like Debug|MX31, but
using that in CMake doesn't work.

You have to change CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES in the cache. Here is some
template I use:

# Xcode generator is buggy (linker flags are not inherited from compile
flags
# and custom configurations don't work with shared libraries)
if(NOT CMAKE_GENERATOR STREQUAL Xcode)
 set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS_SUPERDUPER "--super --duper" CACHE
   STRING "Flags used by the compiler during super-duper builds")
 set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_SUPERDUPER "--super --duper" CACHE
   STRING "Flags used by the linker for executables during super-duper
builds")
 set(CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS_SUPERDUPER "--super --duper" CACHE
   STRING "Flags used by the linker for shared libraries during
super-duper builds")
 set(CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS_SUPERDUPER "--super --duper" CACHE
   STRING "Flags used by the linker for loadable modules during
super-duper builds")
 mark_as_advanced(CMAKE_C_FLAGS_COVERAGE
CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_SUPERDUPER
   CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS_SUPERDUPER
CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS_SUPERDUPER)
 # This variable is only set for multi-config IDE generators
 if(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES)
   list(APPEND CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES SuperDuper)
   list(REMOVE_DUPLICATES CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES)
   set(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES "${CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES}" CACHE
STRING
     "Semicolon separated list of supported configuration types
[Debug|Release|MinSizeRel|RelWithDebInfo|SuperDuper]"
     FORCE)
 endif()
endif()

HTH
