[CMake] CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX on Windows Machine

Mon Feb 7 18:24:26 EST 2011

David-

Sorry that I was not clear.  I have not found (but have not tried) to
see if this is a problem with other cmake projects.

To be more clear, I looked in the top-level GDCM CMakeLists.txt file and
found a couple of small references to the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable;
none of the references seemed to point to a renaming of the install
directory (although I could have easily missed something).  A search
through the rest of the SRC tree didn't find any relevant references to
the cmake configure process:

./Source/Common/gdcmConfigure.h.in

./Source/DataDictionary/gdcmGlobal.cxx

./PACKAGER

./CMakeLists.txt

I was not able to attach the CMakeLists.txt file (too big), but the only
two references are:

# At the beginning

MARK_AS_ADVANCED(CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX)

# In the CPack section

    IF(${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX} MATCHES
${CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY})

    ELSE(${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX} MATCHES
${CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY})

    STRING(REPLACE ${PROJECT_NAME} ${CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY}
dummy ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX} )

    SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX ${dummy} CACHE PATH "" FORCE)

    ENDIF(${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX} MATCHES
${CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY})

Thanks

When you say "It does not appear to be something specific to the GDCM
CMakeLists.txt file"

do you mean that you see this behavior when configuring other projects
with CMake?

What do you get if you search for CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in the GDCM
source tree?

Colleagues-

I believe that I have run in a bug with cmake, but being a novice, I
cannot say.  I would greatly appreciate any help.  Here is the story:

(1)    I'm trying to build GDCM-2.0.17 and a  Windows machine (same
issue if I specify 32-bit or 64-bit build) using CMAKE-2.8.3

(2)    This is how I have chosen to setup my environment:

S: (or any drive)

  |

  + GDCM-2.0.17

      |

      + SRC

          |

               -- [GDCM Source Tree]

           +  BUILD  

               |

               -- PC_NT_32

               |  |

               |    -- [GDCM Build files for 32 bit]

               |

               -- PC_NT_64

                  |

                   -- [GDCM Build files for 64 bit]

           +  INSTALL  

               |

               -- PC_NT_32

               |  |

               |    -- [GDCM Installed files for 32 bit]

               |

               -- PC_NT_64

                  |

                   -- [GDCM Installed files for 64 bit]

(3)    I have run both cmake.exe and cmake-gui.exe with the same result.

(4)    After the first configure, I change the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to
"s:/GDCM-2.0.17/INSTALL/PC_NT_32"

(5)    I run configure again

(6)    It changes CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to "s:/GDCM 2.0-2.0.17/PC_NT_32"

(7)    I change it back and it requires that I run configure again

(8)    Repeat from step (4) with no resolution

I do not see this issue when I run on a linux machine.  It does not
appear to be something specific to the GDCM CMakeLists.txt file

As I said, I would appreciate any thoughts.

Thanks

david
