Hi Silvio, I've looked for something like this to automate the build of some projects > I'm maintaining, so I have some questions: > > Could it build a Delphi-based project too? If so, does it allows to select > the build for a specific platform/config? (e.g: Win32/Release) >
By executing 'pmake --compiler <delphi-compiler-path>', it should be easily possible to build Delphi projects (I don't have Delphi so I cannot test). The compiler path will be stored in the PMakeLists.txt cache (in the $(PMAKE_PAS_COMPILER) variable) and used every time again for the build. It should also be possible to use different compilers by setting the $(PMAKE_PAS_COMPILER) variable in the PMake script. PMake allows for option variables to be set in PMake.txt (at any level). See also the PMake project: option('WITH_DEBUG', 'Enable debug info for PMake', _ON_); > Could I link the build of an external 3rd party project to automate it > inside a PMake-based project? For example, supposing I have a C library > using CMake-based build, could this library be built while (before or > after) the PMake builds the Pascal project? ( something like CMake's > ExternalProject_Add() and, optionally, some alternative to > ExternalProject_Get_Property() ) > I believe you should use add_custom_command for this. It will create a package for you that you can add as dependency to a library or executable. Only after the dependency is resolved, the remaining build will continue. If you test and have an example, please make a pull request so it can be added for prosperity. > I liked it. (y) >> > Thanks! Glad you like it.

You only need to use add_directory (and the correct dependencies of course) to get get a working build.
