How to configure cmake to compile informix *.ec files?

Question

I'm just found cmake and I want to use it to create make files for a little project that uses the esql compiler.

Answer 1

I've not used cmake yet (it is on my list of things that I need to look at - round about the time some spare tuits become available), but...

I do have several sets of rules for compiling ESQL/C to object code etc for regular make.

You can find one set of those rules online at the IIUG Software Archive in the SQLCMD package. Or you can contact me directly to discuss the niceties in detail (and/or the differences between cmake stuff and regular make stuff). You can also find Informix-related autoconf macros in the SQLCMD package - file acinformix.m4.

Answer 2

You will probably need to use the cmake ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND command to create the rule for compiling each source file with the esql compiler.
