[CMake] Shared intermediary files

[aaron.meadows at thomsonreuters.com]

Can you clarify your setup just a bit?  

 

Do you have two ways you configure the build tree, once as Dynamic and
once as Static libraries?  And you are building both at the same time?

 

Or

 

Are you are calling add_library() twice with the same input files but
specifying SHARED on one of them, so they are all building together in
one project (i.e. Visual Studio Solution)?

 

Or

 

Doing something completely different?

Subject: [CMake] Shared intermediary files

 

Hello,

  I'm in the process of converting over a large, monolithic tree with
many libraries from a custom build solution over to cmake.  So far,
we've loved it.  I am wondering about others' solutions to a problem we
have encountered. 

 

We have more than a few cases of generated source files - for example,
Qt moc files.   These all get dumped into CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR.
Now, the libraries we have build both static & shared, and have the same
source files.  In Visual Studio, this generates two projects in the
solution.  It seems that these do not share dependencies.  Occasionally,
this means that both libraries try to write to the generated source file
at the same time, which generates a (false) build failure.  

 

What do others do?  Am I misunderstanding something?

Kevin
