CMake and Visual Leak Detector

[Bret McKee]

I'm making progress with cmake, but on a fresh start I get errors because it can't find visual leak detector.  I know how to fix it manually, but before I do that, I wanted to make sure that cmake should not have set it up for me automatically...

Thanks,

Bret

Yes, I thumped my head into this wall as well.  In my case, it’s because I’m running Visual Studio Express rather than the ‘Community’ or ‘Full’ versions of VS.  Andy confirmed that with one of his systems, as well, which was also running only the Express version.  In theory, the VLD installer is supposed to add entries in a file called Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user.props – those entries add the VLD path into the AdditionalIncludeDirectories property of VS.  But this doesn’t always happen – in which case, VS won’t look in the VLD install directory.  The .props file is located in the AppData\Local\Microsoft\MSBuild\v4.0 directory on a Win7 system.  A correctly formed .props file looks like this:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Project DefaultTargets="Build" ToolsVersion="12.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">

            <ImportGroup Label="PropertySheets">

            </ImportGroup>

            <PropertyGroup Label="UserMacros"/>

            <PropertyGroup/>

            <ItemDefinitionGroup><ClCompile><AdditionalIncludeDirectories>C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Leak Detector\include;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories)</AdditionalIncludeDirectories></ClCompile><Link><AdditionalLibraryDirectories>C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Leak Detector\lib\Win32;%(AdditionalLibraryDirectories)</AdditionalLibraryDirectories></Link><Lib><AdditionalLibraryDirectories>C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Leak Detector\lib\Win32;%(AdditionalLibraryDirectories)</AdditionalLibraryDirectories></Lib></ItemDefinitionGroup>

            <ItemGroup/>

</Project>

 

I think this will need to be fixed somehow.  In the meantime, using the above info should get you going.  I’m also attaching a copy of my system’s version of the file although I don’t know if there can be local variations.

 

Good luck.

Bruce
