Is there more documentation on Mare somewhere? I'm trying to include a new library to the Bhuman project. The library has a CMake file that would have been easy to include in a CMake project. Is there a easy way to use that CMake file or to include the library with Mare directly? Thank you.

For example ".cpp" does not work (on Linux) but "./.cpp" does.

Since "writeFile" is a macro that is evaluated at the beginning of the build process, it is a problem that it does not create the full path to the location of the file. When building from scratch, the build directory does not yet exist, which means that "writeFile" cannot be used to create files inside the build directory.

It seems only the first part of the macro cppCompiler is used when mare is used to generate cmake files. We use

cppCompiler = {
    "env CCACHE_CPP2=yes $(utilDirRoot)/Buildchain/Linux/bin/ccache clang++ -D__extern_always_inline=inline"

and the CMakeLists.txt generated just contains

set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "env")

Currently, it is only possible to set the version of Visual Studio as a number. The platform toolset is then derived from that number. However, Visual Studio 2012 actually supports two platform toolsets, namely v110 and v110_xp (for targeting Windows XP). It would be nice if this could be specified somehow (2012xp?).

Currently when creating a target that just executes a command (eg. 'echo hello'), you still have to specify the 'input' and 'output' variables for it to work, even though they are redundant:

targets = {
	hi = {
		input = "blah"
		output = "blah"
		command = "echo hello"
	}
}

Would it be possible to make them voluntary so that one can just do:

targets = {
	hi = {
		command = "echo hello"
	}
}

Thanks!

Since Visual Studio writes all output files in the same directory, it cannot handle projects in which several source files have the same name, but are located in different paths. However, mare could generate projects that handle these situations. It seems that it is not possible the generate output files with individual paths, because VS does not create the directories before it tries to write the files.

However, what works is to give the output files different names. I do not have a pull request, because I am not sure how to integrate this elegantly, but something that works in Vcxproj.cpp:1238ff is:

      fileWrite(String("    <") + file.type + " Include=\"" + path + "\">\r\n");
      MD5 md5;
      md5.update((const unsigned char*)path.getData(), path.getLength());
      unsigned char sum[16];
      md5.final(sum);
      char digits[9];
#ifdef WIN32
      sprintf_s
#else
      snprintf
#endif
        (digits, sizeof(digits), "%8x", *(unsigned*)sum);
      fileWrite(String("      <ObjectFileName>$(IntDir)%(Filename)-") + digits + ".obj</ObjectFileName>\r\n");

This adds a 8 digits hex code to each object file that is based on the file's relative path. It requires some minor changes in the code that is following, because a closing tag is now always needed. An even better solution would be to only do this if there are actual duplicates. That's how Xcode does it.

Hi, I'm trying to add a specific linker flag

linkFlags += {
  "/INCLUDE:?warp_size@cuda@at@@YAHXZ"
}

but the question mark makes problems.
Without the question mark the flag is added to the VS project file, otherwise not.

Looked at the parser class and I guess the question mark is interpreted as if condition?

Is there a way to escape the question mark? I already tried backslash and single quotes.
