This has actually nothing to do with CMake in the first place. I'm sorry that I brought this to a public table.


I do not think that you brought this to a public table...


But you are right, that discussion has nothing to do with CMake.

was just, curious, when CMake generates a vs2010 project file, the build options are, Release, Debug, MinSizeRel, and RelWithDebInfo,

does any of these produce static version of the lib?

To get a static version of the libraries, you must set BUILD_SHARED_LIBS to FALSE.

I'd prefer an option to build both a static and a dynamic library at the same time.

See here: http://www.itk.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ#Can_I_build_both_shared_and_static_libraries_with_one_ADD_LIBRARY_command.3F

EDIT: So basically I want BUILD_STATIC as an optional flag for building static libs.

Why? Are you really using both?
And you don't need to have an option in the CMake files, you can simply generate both configurations separately and compile them together when you want both versions.

I'll typically use dynamic SFML but for Windows deployment I prefer cross-compiling and linking static instead of shared. Also, since I'm packaging SFML for Arch, it would be neat if I would have to do less manual work to provide my users with both versions.

Don't forget that once you generate the makefiles, you never have to do this step again. So the "manual work" of generating another version of the libraries is almost free.

This is one of the cool things with CMake: people can really customize all the configurations they want, and they only have to do it once.

So, uh, how exactly do you use the CMake system? I tried cmake -P CMakeLists.txt at the top of the sfml2 directory, but it gave some error about project() on line 11.
I use the latest build of SFML2

Running "cmake" is enoughIt's often better to run it from a different directory, so that the source tree is not polluted wit hteh build files.

Anyway, what error do you get?

Running just "cmake" gives me the usage info.
It gives me this: "Command project() is not scriptable".

Just use cmake -i : it runs in "wizard" mode and asks for everything.

hey, Im trying to build a static SFML2 version made with cmake (again) but this time on visual studios 9 (instead of 10), however when i do so i get 2 errors,
Code: [Select]

Error 1 fatal error LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0xA5 C:\Documents 1 sfml-audio
Error 2 fatal error LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0xA5 C:\Documents 1 sfml-graphics




I could swear I've seen this before but cant quite remember, (google search/forum search doesn't help either)

any idea as to what's going on when trying to build the static libs?

(when i use CMAKE to generate the shared library, it builds successfully)

much appreciated

Maybe it doesn't like the spaces in your path.

I'll see if I can do something about it, but avoid spaces anyway, they are evil.
