[CMake] Clever way to download and install cmake package?

Thu Aug 1 19:07:03 EDT 2013

The easiest solution is to simply copy UseLATEX.cmake to your project and update it by hand when necessary, which is probably never. That's what I do.

Hi,
I am using the UseLATEX package, and I was wondering if there was a way to automatically download the UseLATEX.cmake file to be included in the CMakeLists.txt file. I was thinking of using the ExternalProject module, however, I'm not sure this will work.

When is the external project downloaded? Is this a bad idea? (I'm pretty sure it is...)

I think this is probably a bad idea and that I should probably just Fork the UseLATEX github git repository, or just the UseLATEX.cmake file, but if anyone has any insight, it would be much appreciated.

Hi list,

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 to create Python modules in C++. In order to
"run" those modules, I need to execute something like:

C:\Python33\python.exe some_script_that_uses_the_module.py

To generate the VS2010 solution we use CMake. What I'm looking for is to
configure the above command in the Debug settings. I tried using the
CreateLaunchers script from https://github.com/rpavlik/cmake-modules, but
unfortunately that doesn't allow me to override the executable command.

For example, our unit tests are compiled into an executable, but still need
to be run via a Python script to set up the environment correctly.
Unfortunately the following in my CMake project definition:

set_target_properties(${PROJECTNAME}
    PROPERTIES
    LOCATION "${PYTHON_EXECUTABLE}"
    LOCATION_DEBUG "${PYTHON_EXECUTABLE}"
    LOCATION_RELEASE "${PYTHON_EXECUTABLE}"
    LOCATION_RELWITHDEBINFO "${PYTHON_EXECUTABLE}"
)

create_default_target_launcher(${PROJECTNAME}
    ARGS "run_boost_tests.py"
    WORKING_DIRECTORY "${RAGE_SCRIPTS_DIR}"
)

still creates the following line in launch-boost_test-Debug.cmd:

"C:\workspace\rage\build\tests\boost_test\DEBUG\boost_test.exe"
run_boost_tests.py

but I would like to see:

"C:\Python33\python.exe" run_boost_tests.py

Apparently the LOCATION target properties (which are used by the
CreateLaunchers module) are read-only. Is there any way to solve this?

Best,

Hello,

I set up cmake to use a external project. This 3rd party library writes out a file which contains all include paths set by this library. For the master cmake project I need to read this information at build time into a cmake variable to set the include directories correctly.
Is there a way to do this?
I checked into External_Project_Add_Step but couldn?t find a solution.
I can?t use FILE(READ.) either since the file with include paths is generated when cmake configures the 3rd party library.
Execute_Process (cat .) can?t be used because the context switch destroys the information.

Thanks for any hints!

Best regards,

Stefan

You should not need a 64bit cmake.  The 32 bit version should build
64/32 bits.   I am not sure what you are looking for?
