windows support

[caron]

buildem looks amazing to me but i think i am blocked because of OS specific command line functions in each projects .rule file in visual studio

'env' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

i believe we use 'set'...

i tried to set some of the variables in the BuildSupport.cmake without luck. @line 57...
set (BUILDEM_PLATFORM_SPECIFIC_ENV "set")

i also tried to replace 'env' with 'set' @line 64 without luck.

ideas?

Steve,

You could probably omit BuildSupport.cmake and hardwire whatever command you need for Windows. If you look at the BuildSupport.cmake file, there's not a whole lot going on there except for some path setting.

I would not change line 57. I would change line 64 to replace the internal 'env' with 'set' and see if that works. If you changed both line 57 & 64, you are probably getting an invalid command.

We have a Windows developer starting to look at buildem. He contributed the ExternalProjectMultiPlatformAdd.cmake you saw recently committed. However, our Windows development tends to be slow since the primary developers are all on Linux and Mac. If you want to contribute, though, we'd be happy to add your pull requests :)
