Filenames of CMake generated libraries and directories

[knewton]

Hi,

when building CEGUI 0.8.2 with CMake, most libraries get the filename along a pattern like CEGUIBase-0.lib, etc. and the installation directories like cegui-0. Wouldn't it be better to name them with the correct, complete version string!? For example:

CEGUIBase-0.lib -> CEGUIBase-0.8.2.lib

cegui-0\ -> cegui-0.8.2\

In order to achieve that, all appearances within the CMakeLists.txt and cmake/CEGUIMacros.cmake files of:

Code: Select all

-${CEGUI_VERSION_MAJOR}.${CEGUI_VERSION_MINOR}

or

Code: Select all

-${CEGUI_VERSION_MAJOR}

Should be replaced by:

Code: Select all

-${CEGUI_VERSION}

Further question: Why are some files created with version suffix and some of them are not?

Best regards,

Definitely not. To understand the reasoning behind this, please look into what API compatibility and ABI compatibility mean.

The suffixes are there to allow 2 CEGUIs of different API versions to coexist on a system gracefully. They are omitted in loadable modules names because loadable modules can just be put into another folder and all will be well.

Hi all,

I am havig a problem with the include path, in 0.7.9 I had:

Code: Select all

#include <CEGUI/CEGUI.h>

which is the cegui include path (/usr/local/include/CEGUI/CEGUI.h) and worked fine.

In 0.8.2 I added in cmake-gui the new include and lib folder and changed the include code to:

Code: Select all

#include <cegui-0/CEGUI/CEGUI.h>

Ok, but then I had other errors, looked into CEGUI.h (ando some other files) and saw that it keeps searching the includes the same way:

Code: Select all

#include <CEGUI/someFile.h>

It does not find them since they are in cegui-0/CEGUI (QT creator also shows that).

I think this is because CEGUI's base path to search include files is /usr/local/include/ instead of the full include path as it is with other applications. Please help mi with this issue, I don't know what to do.
