Adding the ${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} to ADD_DEFINITIONS() seems redundant.to
me because CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS already sets definitions passed to the c++
compiler. I think this flag is more useful for setting
config-dependent flags, e.g. CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG and
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE, but maybe others on the list can correct me
if I'm wrong.

As I understand it, you should just be able to use ADD_DEFINITIONS(
-gdwarf2 ) and then later ADD_DEFINITIONS( -Wno-deprecated ) later in
the code snippet. If you want to use CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS instead, just set
it like so: SET( CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -gdwarf2 ).

For the code I'm working on, I have the following bootstrap steps:

1) sh autogen.sh # Calls cmake w/ platform specific flags and path information 2) cmake # CMakeLists.txt detects whether or not I need to build boost (eg: "if(EXISTS ${CONTRIBOBJ}/include/boost/asio.hpp)") and calls execute_script() to compile boost with project-specific parameters. CONTRIBOBJ is set to something like "obj/contrib-Darwin-i386". 3) I'm passing CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS to patch and contrib/boost/boosh.sh to build boost

I can confirm that I'm setting CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:

CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:  -gdwarf-2 -Wno-deprecated

via:

${CMAKE_COMMAND}
    -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER} \
    -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} \
-DCMAKE_IS_EXPERIMENTAL=YES_I_KNOW \ <<< Is this necessary any more?
    -DDCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=true \
[...]

And when I build boost: I'm not longer seeing either of those post 1.40.0. Starting with cmake2, it looks like CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS ceased working but I don't know how or why. Is there a better way to pass CXX_FLAGS to boost? -sc

cd /Users/sean/src/obj/contrib-Darwin-i386/boost-1.40.0.cmake4.obj/ libs/serialization/src && /opt/local/bin/g++-mp-4.3 - DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -I/Users/sean/src/obj/contrib-Darwin-i386/ boost-1.40.0.cmake4 -O3 -DNDEBUG -o CMakeFiles/ boost_serialization-mt-static.dir/basic_iserializer.cpp.o -c /Users/ sean/src/obj/contrib-Darwin-i386/boost-1.40.0.cmake4/libs/ serialization/src/basic_iserializer.cpp

?


PS Yes, I know I can get uname data in CMmake, but when I was first porting some code to cmake's build system it was easier to wrap cmake w/ a shell script and call uname than attempt to grok 100% of what cmake has to offer. Slowly but surely I'm pushing various variables out of autogen.sh in to cmake files.

If boost isn't built for the current project, I have cmake call a shell
scipt to use cmake to build boost (passed in via
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS}). The -gdwarf-2 flag prevents N_GSYM
errors on Darwin, similar to the following:

cd
/Users/sean/src/obj/contrib-Darwin-i386/boost-1.40.0.cmake2.obj/ libs/thread/src
&& /opt/local/bin/cmake -E cmake_link_script

Starting with cmake2, it looks like CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS is being reset somewhere along the lines. Is there a correct/better way to pass this in to CMake or is there a way to have Boost cmake automatically set -gdwarf-2 using the
above logic?  tia.  -sc
