Run makefile produced by cmake that is inside build and also run test

[Sunny Shakya]

I am using cmake-maven to build the cmake project that I have. The build works fine. But there are three issues I am facing.

  1. How to clean the build folder before each maven install?

  2. I also need to run make so that I can hook it up with Teamcity. Is there any way to run make as well from the build folder. Right now, I am using build.sh but I want to replace it with pom.xml. 

#!/bin/bash  

rm -fdr build

mkdir build

cd build

CC=gcc cmake ..

make

ctest -V

  3. I am not able to run test at all. It says "Cannot find file: /home/sshakya/coeTest/target/DartConfiguration.tcl". I also read previous posts and see that I have to put "include(CTest)" in top level CMakeLists.txt instead of enable_testing() but it didnot work.  I have test folder with googletest and here is the CMakeLists.txt content

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6.2)

project( googletest-distribution )

#enable_testing()

include(CTest)

option(BUILD_GTEST "Builds the googletest subproject" OFF)

#Note that googlemock target already builds googletest

option(BUILD_GMOCK "Builds the googlemock subproject" ON)

if(BUILD_GMOCK)

  add_subdirectory( googlemock )

elseif(BUILD_GTEST)

  add_subdirectory( googletest )

endif()

Here is the content of pom.xml

Hi Sunny, sorry for the delay in responding. I somehow missed this when you first wrote it.  I imagine you've moved onto other things by now but I'll respond anyway.

`mvn clean` will remove the target folder where cmake will build to. It will remove all transient parts of the Maven build, though, not just the cmake generated stuff.

You can run make directly from a Maven build with exec-maven-plugin (completely unrelated to cmake-maven-project). A sample configuration for that is:

<plugin>

        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>

        <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>

        <executions>

          <execution>

            <id>default</id>

            <phase>generate-sources</phase>

            <goals>

              <goal>exec</goal>

            </goals>

            <configuration>

              <workingDirectory>${project.basedir}/${kakadu.version}/make</workingDirectory>

              <executable>make</executable>

              <arguments>

                <argument>-f</argument>

                <argument>${kakadu.makefile}</argument>

              </arguments>

            </configuration>

          </execution>

          <execution>

            <id>clean</id>

            <phase>clean</phase>

            <goals>

              <goal>exec</goal>

            </goals>

            <configuration>

              <workingDirectory>${project.basedir}/${kakadu.version}/make</workingDirectory>

              <executable>make</executable>

              <arguments>

                <argument>-f</argument>

                <argument>${kakadu.makefile}</argument>

                <argument>clean</argument>

              </arguments>

            </configuration>

          </execution>

        </executions>

      </plugin>

You'd swap in variables for your values there. Exec-maven-plugin can also run other types of shell commands (not specific to make) if there are other parts of a Bash script you're trying to replace but can't find Maven plugins to do the work that needs to be done.
