Hi all (CC beanz for cmake advice),<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm running into a cmake problem when I try to cross-compile a Windows-hosted<br>
<br>
toolchain (building on Linux). I'm using clang-cl as my cross-compiler, and I<br>
<br>
set up the compiler paths in a cmake toolchain file. Unfortunately, as part of<br>
<br>
setting up the compiler, cmake sets the environment variables ASM, CC, CXX,<br>
<br>
etc. to the paths it found. It's easy enough to reproduce this; just configure<br>
<br>
the following CMakeLists.txt:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
message(STATUS "CC is $ENV{CC}")<br>
<br>
project(null C)<br>
<br>
message(STATUS "CC is $ENV{CC}")<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The first printout should be empty (assuming you don't have CC set in your<br>
<br>
environment already, of course), and the second value should be the full path<br>
<br>
the compiler found by cmake. Note that this will only occur on the initial<br>
<br>
configure; subsequent configures should have the compiler setup cached, and<br>
<br>
will therefore not set the environment variable. I've confirmed this behavior<br>
<br>
on cmake 3.5, 3.6, and 3.9, so I'm fairly sure it's universal.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
This causes problems for me because when I'm running the initial cmake<br>
<br>
configure for my cross-compile, ASM, CC, and CXX get set to the values for my<br>
<br>
cross-compiler (clang-cl). LLVM's build then launches the configure for the<br>
<br>
native portions of the build (TableGen, etc.), but this configure is launched<br>
<br>
with the aforementioned environment variables, and cmake's compiler detection<br>
<br>
picks up on those environment variables, so it then tries to compile the<br>
<br>
native portions with my cross-compiler, which goes about as well as you'd<br>
<br>
expect.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
My current workaround is to simply unset these environment variables before<br>
<br>
running the native configure step:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
It would be more proper to save the values of these environment variables at<br>
<br>
the start of the configure (before any project command is run) and restore<br>
<br>
those values before starting the native configure, of course. This still feels<br>
<br>
pretty ugly though, and I'm sure I'm not the first person to run into a<br>
<br>
similar issue. What would be the best way to fix this?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
