In my project group we are using CMake to generate c++/cli winform
projects and I noticed the work done in commit 79ec7868 (VS: Add Windows
Forms Support, 2013-04-29) was in the right direction for solving some
of the problems we were facing.
The changes as submitted was breaking some functionality in our
projects, so I made some changes that fixes our problems and I believe
that it will also work for others.
* Resx files did not link correctly with the winform h-file so I added
the Resx configuration to the vcxproj file.
* I removed the functionality for setting <CLRSupport> true for the
project based on if an resx-file is pressent. This is preventing
us from using native cpp code. Also this do not address that some
projects will need to set other options like clr:pure, clr:safe.
This could be implemented as a cmake option, so it is possible to
specify exactly what is needed. Existing VSWindowsFormsResx Test
project is updated so it will be working with my changes.
d221eac Refactor target COMPILE_OPTIONS and COMPILE_FLAGS handling
b6385ca Escape target flags taken from COMPILE_OPTIONS
0c9cc9a Embarcadero: Use response files only for includes, objects, and libs
LLVM headers define strlcat as a macro rather than as a function.
See upstream Curl issue:
http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1192
It was addressed by removing use of strlcat altogether. Port the
upstream fix to CMake's curl.
Replace the cmLocalGenerator GetCompileOptions method with an
AddCompileOptions method since all call sites of the former simply
append the result to a flags string anyway.
Add a "lang" argument to AddCompileOptions and move the
CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_REGEX filter into it. Move the call sites in each
generator to a location that has both the language and configuration
available. In the Makefile generator this also moves the flags from
build.make to flags.make where they belong.
Factor appending of individual flags out into an AppendFlagEscape method
in cmLocalGenerator and teach it to use EscapeForShell. Update all
COMPILE_OPTIONS handling to use AppendFlagEscape.
Override the method in the Xcode generator to use its custom escape
implementation.
Teach the CompileOptions test to add an option that requires escaping
everywhere instead of just with the GNU tools.
Leave other flags directly in the Makefile command lines and outside
any special inline response file syntax. Otherwise Borland does
not support flags with quotes in response files.
While calculating dependencies collapse sequences such as
../../../a/b/c/../../d/e/../../e/f
to avoid total path lengths over the Windows path length limit as much
as possible.
ff015ee Genex: Report error if a target file is needed to evaluate link libraries.
b58aff9 Genex: Extend EvaluatingLinkLibraries to also check the top target name.
b1c19ce Genex: Make LINK_LANGUAGE report an error when evaluating link libraries.
0e1cb07 Add missing return after error report.
Currently when a configured file is removed from the build directory,
running the build command will not regenerate the file. Now detect
this and will rerun cmake properly when a user issues the build
command.
AddCMakeDependFile and AddCMakeOutputFile both store as std::string
and all calling sites use std::string. So instead of creating more
temporary objects, lets just use std::strings.
