It would be nice if compare_files did this, but really this is a problem that should be handled by your source-control system, I think. Subversion, for example, will ensure that text files are checked out with locally-appropriate line endings, at least if you ask it nicely. I'm pretty sure the same is true of Perforce and probably other systems.<br>

<br>
For several testcases validations, I use 'cmake -E compare_files'<br>
command on a result file against a reference file. Problem is that<br>
result file might be generated on several different platforms while<br>
reference file is the same for all platforms. Unfortunately, there is<br>
no option in cmake -E compare_files to ignore end of line characters on<br>
the contrary to diff, winmerge,... The current solution is to call an<br>
'home-made' unix2dos C++ function or call a configure_file() command to<br>
set correctly eol accoreding to the platform for the reference file so<br>
that compare_files gives the correct answer.<br>
<br>
Is there a way to avoid this 'stupid' solution ? Is it useful to submit<br>
a development request for this feature ?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help,<br>
<br>
