[Cmake] Re: [Swig] ANNOUNCE: CMake 2.0.3 with SWIG support

[William A. Hoffman]

Hi, 

To move the .py files, you can use the swig -outdir option.
That can be set with the SWIG_FLAGS property, something like this:

SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES(example.i PROPERTIES SWIG_FLAGS 
"-outdir ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}")

(That is assuming that you are using EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH.

For the make clean, you can add that like this:

  SET_DIRECTORY_PROPERTIES(PROPERTIES
    ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES "${ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES};myLibrary.py")

The problem is that running swig on a .i file may generate any number of .py files
depending on the classes being wrapped.
