#50271: CMake Portgroup: activate CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: rjvbertin@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Keywords: | Port: cmake -------------------------+-------------------------------- This is an enhancement suggestion complementary to the one filed under ticked #50246 . CMake has the option to generate an additional file in the build directory, that contains the compile commands.This file is of little interest for building a port (it is comparable to the .CC_OPTIONS file) but its creation comes at negligible cost. It is however of considerable interest when the build directory is used with certain IDEs : KDevelop5 uses it to obtain the project contents. When absent, it will invoke a default cmake command with just enough arguments to interfere with the proper settings determined by the port. My suggestion is thus to add `-DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=on` to the list of cmake arguments, and to add a `touch ${build.dir}/compile_commands.json` to the post-configure block that also creates the cmake invocation file. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50271> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
