Modernise Rhapsody by generating a cmake compatible CMakeLists.txt instead of a makefile directly

Many third party tools favour cmake integration. I want to use CPM.cmake to help me avoid the need for git submodules for third party libraries (eg: open source githubs). See https://github.com/cpm-cmake/CPM.cmake/wiki/More-Snippets for examples. CPM.cmake expects projects to be compatible with cmake. Also Visual Studio cmake projects support Remote Linux debugging. I have achieved this using empty VS projects but cmake might make things easier. Visual Studio often expects to Build and Deploy not just debug a binary already built by Rhapsody. An example CMakeLists.txt file - cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10) project(IQ5_App) add_custom_target(MYPROJ ALL COMMAND make -j$(nproc) -f Linux.mak all BuildSet=Debug WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} )

    I was thinking more like (from https://cmake.org/cmake/help/book/mastering-cmake/chapter/Converting%20Existing%20Systems%20To%20CMake.html#converting-unix-makefiles) -

    Frequently Makefiles have a list of object files to compile. These can be converted to CMake variables as follows:

    OBJS= \
      foo1.o \
      foo2.o \
      foo3.o

    becomes

    set(SOURCES  foo1.c  foo2.c  foo3.c)

    Hi,
    Rhapsody in general is highly customizable using APIs and with property settings.
    I expect that with the appropriate properties’ definition with the proper keywords, it may be possible to achieve this.

    Attaching a small model which can be a starting point.

    As I said earlier happy to connect with our SMEs and BP's who can assist you on this requirement.

    Regards,
    Suneel...

    I'm not sure the status "Funtionality already exists" is true.
    My idea is for Rhapsody not to generate the makefile as it does today but instead create a CMakeLists.txt file. Rhapsody can trigger cmake to then generate the makefile from the CMakeLists.txt file. My usage of add_custom_target is a workaround whilst Rhapsody is still in charge of generating the makefile.

    Hi,

    As you are already aware...
    Rhapsody generates the makefile based on a set of properties on a Configuration.

    The properties are under <language>_CG::<Setting>::<Property>.For example: C_CG :: Linux :: MakeFileContent is defining the Linux Setting makefile for C language.

    Or, C_CG:: Linux ::CompileSwitches, which defines the Linux Setting compilation flags per compilation for C languageSetting up these properties allows control over the generated makefile

    I expect all to be doable within the makefile definition, and other properties, like "invokeMake", which you suggested.

    Regarding CMakeLists.txt, I suggest consulting with our BP's or CTP's...

    Pls send me an email @suneel.san@in.ibm.com...I will connect to the respective BP/CTP on this request.

    Regards,
    Suneel...

    • Autogenerate the makefile (as today).

    • Additionally autogenerate the CMakeLists.txt containing add_custom_target (as shown above)

    • Create and navigate into build folder as required (eg: build-dir)

    • Run cmake ..

    • Run make
