Re: [Pki-devel] CMake and eclipse
----- Original Message -----
CMake generats the Makefile etc in what it refers to as
"OutOfSource"
mode. This means that, while Make is executed in
workspace/build-pki/core, the source remains in
workspace/pki/base/core. This is a "best practice" to keep the
Generated files separate from the revision controlled files. The PKI
CMake setup insists on building the code outside of the source tree.
This is enforced by the line pki/CMakeLists.txt line 69
include(MacroEnsureOutOfSourceBuild).
Changes made in the original source tree are picked up via Makefile
rules. This includes changes to the CMake infrastructure, meaning that
configuration changes trigger a complete build. This is one of the
positive aspects of CMake.
I think in the Java support of pki if you call 'make' we always rebuild
the complete java files. The CMake Java support which I pushed upstream
and which will be released with CMake 2.8.6 is much more clever. It only
rebuilds the files which have been changed.
It also provides some nice functions like find_jar() now.
