I have a project that builds two different programs with conditional compilation.
(I'll call the project Foo and the programs FooA and FooB)
I currently have a #define in main.h that I comment/uncomment manually to toggle between them, but I'd like to hoist that into the build system.
I could probably manage it with presets, but it looks like I'd have to manually define FooADebug, FooARelease, FooBDebug & FooBRelease, which would be tedious.
(If someone does know of a way to make orthogonal sets of presets, I'd be interested)
A more promising approach would seem to be something along the lines of:
project(Foo)
add_executable(FooA)
add_executable(FooB)
target_compile_definitions(FooB PRIVATE FOO_B)I can see how I would do this if I was writing all the CMakeLists.txt's myself, however while the top CML says
#
# This file is generated only once,
# and is not re-generated if converter is called multiple times.
#
# User is free to modify the file as much as necessary
#cmake/stm32cubemx/CMakeLists.txt contains no such comment (and seems to contain content that would be regenerated) and assumes that the project contains one executable named ${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME} (which gets set in the top-level CML)
Is there a way to do what I want that won't be broken if I regenerate the code?
