Since I do not see a FindNmake or the likes, is there a way to call Nmake from a CMakeLists.txt file?<br>
<br>
The root CMakeList.txt file contains:<br>
<br>
set( LIBTIFF_CONFIGURE_FILE ${TOP}/CMake/libtiff/<u></u>CMakeLists.txt.config )<br>
configure_file( ${LIBTIFF_CONFIGURE_FILE} ${SOURCE_DIR}/libtiff/<u></u>CMakeLists.txt.config )<br>
<br>
externalproject_add(<br>
libtiff<br>
URL <a href="http://download.osgeo.org/libtiff/tiff-4.0.2.zip" target="_blank">http://download.osgeo.org/<u></u>libtiff/tiff-4.0.2.zip</a><br>
DOWNLOAD_DIR ${DOWNLOAD_DIR}<br>
SOURCE_DIR ${SOURCE_DIR}/libtiff<br>
INSTALL_DIR ${INSTALL_DIR}<br>
<br>
)<br>
<br>
Where the configure_file dumps a CMakeLists.txt file wich is generated form CMakeLists.txt.config into the libtiff source directory so that ExternalProject_Add has a CMakeLIsts.txt file. It is in this CMakeLists.txt file that I need to spawn the build for libtiff such as:<br>
<br>
nmake /f <a href="http://makefile.vc" target="_blank">makefile.vc</a><br>
<br>
Though CMake does not seem to support nmake calls from CMakeLists.txt files configured to generate VisualStudio Build Files. Basically I want a visual studio target to build libtiff using nmake. How does one do this?<br>
<br>
I have been able to do this for zlib, and libpng<br>
<br>
There are a myriad of projects all with their each flavor of building their source which I need to build. it's a regular potpourii of source build scents and not in a good way.<br>
