OK, i ran into the same problem again! everything on my system is cristal clear and even though, I got these strange repeating messages - I give up. I give it a whole day and I got to the same point as befor... so this day is lost.<br>
<br>
I believe the presentation tomorrow will come to the conclusion, not to use cmake :-(. Mainly because the available documentation including "Mastering CMake" is actually not sufficient specially for people just don't want to understand all the inner behavior. I can not hand this system over to someone else, because I believe I have to be available over months to maintain the system.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>This sounds a bit pessimistic. Looks more like you're being bitten by a tight deadline ;). Usually setting up nightly builds and dashboards is not what your usual programmer does. This is more the work of someone (like you) that knows these specifics. For everyday tasks related to adding targets, tests, external dependencies, I think the existing documentation is quite good, although it can surely be improved in certain places. Sequences of common things that your group of programmers do on a daily basis and in a structured way can usually be encapsulated in macros and functions, so their life becomes easier and less error-prone (many projects have their own set of specific cmake macros/functions tailored to their needs). If you do not want to expose certain 'inner behaviors', consider this as an alternative.<br>
Just to feed my curiosity, what is the existing alternative you're measuring cmake against?, is it a custom solution or is it based on well-maintained projects, is it targeted to a single or multiple platforms/programming languages, and last but not least, is it documented as you would expect cmake to be?.<br>
<br>Good luck tomorrow with your presentation. I hope it all goes as expected.<br><br>Adolfo.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

I see the advantages of cmake, specially for people that have the time to dig into the wiki, the internet an all available resources. But for people, how don't have the time to go this trial and error path, it's really hard, to make time estimations, how long things will take.<br>
<br>
I believe I get ctest scripting to work reliably! But I can not say when.<br>
<br>
So I will go making weekend now :-)<br>
