Manual PCH not using the right CPP about cotire HOT 3 CLOSED

Regarding issue 1: Add stdafx.cpp as the first file in your add_executable or add_library call. Cotire will then use it as a host file for generating the precompiled header.

Regarding issue 2: Cotire already uses CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR, which translates to $(IntDir) or something similar on Visual Studio in the path to all temporary files it generates.

Thanks for the first tip, I'll try it.

However for the second I have to disagree, the PCH file is created and used in the same folder as the HXX header which is:

MYSOLUTION\MYPROJECT$(Configuration)\cotire\MYPROJECT_CXX_prefix.pch

Am I configuring cotire wrong? How can I solve it?

CMake replaces CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR with $(Configuration) in the generated Visual Studio 10 projects. There is however a work-around you can try. Before the inclusion of cotire, add the following code:

if (MSVC10)
    set (COTIRE_INTDIR "$(Platform)/cotire")
endif()
include(cotire)

This should make cotire generate an intermediate folder with platform name.
