Add a script to generate the CMakeLists files?
benrimmington opened this issue · comments
The current CMake build of swift-numerics¹ has a CMakeLists.txt
file for each target;
and a single Tests/WindowsMain.swift
file to run the tests.
Could the contents of these files be generated by a script?
For the CMakeLists.txt
files, there's a SwiftPM subcommand which provides most (or all?) of the required information:
swift package describe --type json
Could a single top-level CMakeLists.txt
file be used instead?
Then the package manifest wouldn't need to exclude: ["CMakeLists.txt"]
for each target.
For the Tests/WindowsMain.swift
file, there are at least two options:
swift test --generate-linuxmain
swift test --list-tests
The first (deprecated) option generates Tests/LinuxMain.swift
and Tests/*/XCTestManifests.swift
files;
the second option might not provide enough information.
Could a pair of top-level CMakeLists.py
and CMakeLists.swift
files be used instead?
¹(also: swift-argument-parser, swift-atomics, swift-collections, swift-system, …)
This seems reasonable to me; we're still left with needing to exclude README.md, though 😢
