I'm having this CMakeLists.txt in directory with translation files (*.ts):
SET(TRANSLATIONS
lang_de.ts
lang_en.ts
)
FIND_PACKAGE(Qt5LinguistTools)
QT5_ADD_TRANSLATION(QM_FILES ${TRANSLATIONS})
SET(QM_FILES ${QM_FILES} PARENT_SCOPE)
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET (translations ALL DEPENDS ${QM_FILES})
It builds *.qm files from specified *.ts.
But I want to improve this and get two custom targets, which won't built automatically.
One for appending new strings from sources into ts files, and one for refreshing ts. The last one would update ts from sources and remove obsolete strings from ts.
I've tried to add this after lines above:
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET (
ts_append
COMMAND QT5_CREATE_TRANSLATION(QM_FILES ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/src/app ${TRANSLATIONS} OPTIONS -I ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/src)
)
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET (
ts_refresh
COMMAND QT5_CREATE_TRANSLATION(QM_FILES ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/src/app ${TRANSLATIONS} OPTIONS -no-obsolete -I ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/src)
)
but it seems I can't use QT5_CREATE_TRANSLATION macro inside custom target, isn't it?
Maybe I'm on wrong way, how would you solve this problem: easy updating of ts and don't lose them after make clean?
To solve the make clean problem, add a sub directory (ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(translations)) and add SET_DIRECTORY_PROPERTIES(PROPERTIES CLEAN_NO_CUSTOM 1) to the contained CMakeLists.txt.
See here for an example of that.
For the second part of your question there are two possible ways to do it. Either use FILE(WRITE <filename> "QT5_CREATE_TRANSLATION(QM_FILES ${SOURCE_DIR}/src/app ${TRANSLATIONS} OPTIONS -I ${SOURCE_DIR}/src)") and then use COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -DSOURCE_DIR=${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR} -DTRANSLATIONS=${TRANSLATIONS} <filename> in add_custom_target. I doubt there's a good way of retrieving the contents of QM_FILES though.
The second option is creating two additional sub directories, each with a QT5_CREATE_TRANSLATIONS and a ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET call.

Using GNU make, I want to include a file, except if the current target is "clean".
That is, I want to do the equivalent of the following:
ifneq($(TARGET),clean)
-include somefile.txt
endif
But for that, I need a variable whose value is the target given on the command line (here named $(TARGET)). Such a variable does not seem to exist, and I can understand why, because you could have multiple targets on the command line, some of which you might want to include the file for, and others not. Actually, it would be fine if the file is included when there are other targets besides "clean". The only real problem I currently have is that when the file to be included does not exist, Make will try to build it, which is unnecessary when you're about to delete it again when executing the "clean" target.
So, is there another way to accomplish what I want?
You can use MAKECMDGOALS. Use it like this to handle multiple arguments on the command line:
ifeq (clean,$(filter clean,$(MAKECMDGOALS)))
-include somefile.txt
endif
However, this is often fraught because if you run make clean all or whatever, the include file won't be included even though it might be needed for all.
If you really need this to be reliable another way is to use recursion for your "top-level" arguments, running them one at a time in a sub-make.
You could usefully check that if clean is a target then it is the only target. Otherwise strange things can go wrong silently causing much wailing and gnashing of teeth. My most recent Makefile includes the following. (NB tested but not as yet used extensively).
ifeq (clean,$(filter clean,$(MAKECMDGOALS)))
ifneq($(strip $(filter-out clean,$(MAKECMDGOALS)))
$(error ERROR: can not make other targets with clean
endif
endif
I want to generate a plenty *.qm for plenty *.ts files for different languages using qt5_add_translation. All the *.ts files are named using *.de_DE.ts/*.fr_FR.ts/etc convention. But qt5_add_translation produce output, using only basename until first ., not the last one.
There is no possibility to pass options to lrelease using qt5_add_translation(QM_FILES "${PROJECT_NAME}.de_DE.ts" OPTIONS -qm "${PROJECT_NAME}.de_DE.qm") syntax.
Also setting OUTPUT_NAME property for source *.ts file is not working:
set_source_files_properties(
"${PROJECT_NAME}.de_DE.ts" PROPERTIES
OUTPUT_LOCATION "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}"
OUTPUT_NAME "${PROJECT_NAME}.de_DE.qm"
)
Producing filename in the case is still "${PROJECT_NAME}.qm", not "${PROJECT_NAME}.de_DE.qm"
How to override producing name for resulting *.qm file?
Surely I can make custom command and use it for my purposes, but I prefer to use ready qt5_add_translation.
EDIT:
Looking at /usr/local/Qt-5.9.2/lib/cmake/Qt5LinguistTools/Qt5LinguistToolsMacros.cmake I conclude, that there is no way to achieve desired using ready to use qt5_add_translation, because of using get_filename_component(qm ${_abs_FILE} NAME_WE) to get filename:
NAME_WE = File name without directory or longest extension
For my purposes there is need to use combination of ABSOLUTE (to get filename w/ full suffix), then to apply multiple times EXT in combination with NAME_WE to extract filename w/o shortest extension.
I ended up with the below custom function add_translation to replace qt5_add_translation:
function(ADD_TRANSLATION _qm_files)
foreach(_basename ${ARGN})
set(qm "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/${_basename}.qm")
add_custom_command(
OUTPUT "${qm}"
COMMAND "${Qt5_LRELEASE_EXECUTABLE}"
ARGS -markuntranslated "Not translated!" -nounfinished -removeidentical -compress "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/${_basename}.ts" -qm "${qm}"
DEPENDS "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/${_basename}.ts" VERBATIM
)
list(APPEND ${_qm_files} "${qm}")
endforeach()
set(${_qm_files} ${${_qm_files}} PARENT_SCOPE)
endfunction()
It accepts basenames of *.ts files and produces list of resulting *.qm files: both in current source directory.
Please upgrade to Qt 5.9.4 or newer. The handling of .ts files with dots in the name has been fixed there, see also https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-64317 .
How can I compile a LESS file to output a source map file (.css.map) in addition to a CSS file? Is there a way to do it on both command line (NodeJS's lessc) and on any GUI-based programs?
Update: New shortest answer
The docs have been updated! As new features hit LESS, sometimes the docs lag behind a bit, so if you're looking for bleeding-edge features, you're still probably better off running lessc (see longer answer) and checking what pops out of the help text.
http://lesscss.org/usage/
Short answer
You're looking for any number of the following options from the command line:
--source-map[=FILENAME] Outputs a v3 sourcemap to the filename (or output filename.map)
--source-map-rootpath=X adds this path onto the sourcemap filename and less file paths
--source-map-basepath=X Sets sourcemap base path, defaults to current working directory.
--source-map-less-inline puts the less files into the map instead of referencing them
--source-map-map-inline puts the map (and any less files) into the output css file
--source-map-url=URL the complete url and filename put in the less file
As I write this I'm not aware of any GUI options that generate maps (source maps were only added to LESS in the last few months) -- sorry to not have any better news. I'm sure they'll add support in as they update over the next year.
Longer answer
If you run lessc from the command line without any parameters it will give you all the options. (In my experience, this is more up to date than their documentation, so it'll at least get you pointed in the right direction.) with all the most recent map stuff included.
The easiest combo to use for dev is --source-map-less-inline --source-map-map-inline as that will give you your source maps embedded in your output css.
If you'd like to add a separate map file, you can use --source-map which, from my.less will output my.css and my.css.map
For reference: when I run my copy (v 1.6.1 at the moment) I get
usage: lessc [option option=parameter ...] <source> [destination]
If source is set to `-' (dash or hyphen-minus), input is read from stdin.
options:
-h, --help Print help (this message) and exit.
--include-path=PATHS Set include paths. Separated by `:'. Use `;' on Windows.
-M, --depends Output a makefile import dependency list to stdout
--no-color Disable colorized output.
--no-ie-compat Disable IE compatibility checks.
--no-js Disable JavaScript in less files
-l, --lint Syntax check only (lint).
-s, --silent Suppress output of error messages.
--strict-imports Force evaluation of imports.
--insecure Allow imports from insecure https hosts.
-v, --version Print version number and exit.
-x, --compress Compress output by removing some whitespaces.
--clean-css Compress output using clean-css
--clean-option=opt:val Pass an option to clean css, using CLI arguments from
https://github.com/GoalSmashers/clean-css e.g.
--clean-option=--selectors-merge-mode:ie8
and to switch on advanced use --clean-option=--advanced
--source-map[=FILENAME] Outputs a v3 sourcemap to the filename (or output filename.map)
--source-map-rootpath=X adds this path onto the sourcemap filename and less file paths
--source-map-basepath=X Sets sourcemap base path, defaults to current working directory.
--source-map-less-inline puts the less files into the map instead of referencing them
--source-map-map-inline puts the map (and any less files) into the output css file
--source-map-url=URL the complete url and filename put in the less file
-rp, --rootpath=URL Set rootpath for url rewriting in relative imports and urls.
Works with or without the relative-urls option.
-ru, --relative-urls re-write relative urls to the base less file.
-sm=on|off Turn on or off strict math, where in strict mode, math
--strict-math=on|off requires brackets. This option may default to on and then
be removed in the future.
-su=on|off Allow mixed units, e.g. 1px+1em or 1px*1px which have units
--strict-units=on|off that cannot be represented.
--global-var='VAR=VALUE' Defines a variable that can be referenced by the file.
--modify-var='VAR=VALUE' Modifies a variable already declared in the file.
-------------------------- Deprecated ----------------
-O0, -O1, -O2 Set the parser's optimization level. The lower
the number, the less nodes it will create in the
tree. This could matter for debugging, or if you
want to access the individual nodes in the tree.
--line-numbers=TYPE Outputs filename and line numbers.
TYPE can be either 'comments', which will output
the debug info within comments, 'mediaquery'
that will output the information within a fake
media query which is compatible with the SASS
format, and 'all' which will do both.
--verbose Be verbose.
If the command line doesn't suite you, Grunt is great at this type of thing. You can configure the grunt-contrib-less plugin to generate inline maps with a config like this:
less: {
options: {
sourceMap:true,
outputSourceFiles: true
},
lessFiles: {
expand: true,
flatten:false,
src: ['**/*.less'],
dest: ['dist/'],
ext: '.css',
}
},

Example to Create Map and CSS file from Less File
Install latest Node JS and go to command prompt and run npm install less, Now less installed successfully
Go to Command Prompt and move to less file folder that we are going to create
For e.g., I am going to change HelloWorld [Less File]
In Command prompt go to C:\Project\CSS or give the correct path in the below command.
Run following Command in Command Prompt
lessc HelloWorld.less HelloWorld.css --source-map=HelloWorld.css.map –verbose
Now CSS and Map file is generated in the respective folder.

This is really a newbie question - but basically, how do I enable a template for certain filetypes.
Basically, I just want the template to insert a header of sorts, that is with some functions that I find useful, and libraries loaded etc.
I interpret
:help template
the way that I should place this in my vimrc
au BufNewFile,BufRead ~/.vim/skeleton.R
Running a R script then shows that something could happen, but apparently does not:
--- Auto-Commands ---
This may be because a template consists of commands (and there are no such in skeleton.R) - and in this case I just want it to insert a text header (which skelton.R consist of).
Sorry if this question is mind boggeling stupid ;-/
The command that you've suggested is not going to work: what this will do is run no Vim command whenever you open ~/.vim/skeleton.R
A crude way of achieving what you want would be to use:
:au BufNewFile *.R r ~/.vim/skeleton.R
This will read (:r) your file whenever a new *.R file is created. You want to avoid having BufRead in the autocmd, or it will read the skeleton file into your working file every time you open the file!
There are many plugins that add a lot more control to this process. Being the author and therefore completely biased, I'd recommend this one, but there are plenty of others listed here.
Shameless plug:
They all work in a relatively similar way, but to explain my script:
You install the plugin as described on the linked page and then create some templates in ~/.vim/templates. These templates should have the same extension as the 'target' file, so if it's a template for .R files, call it something like skeleton.R. In your .vimrc, add something like this:
let g:file_template_default = {}
let g:file_template_default['R'] = 'skeleton'
Then create your new .R file (with a filename, so save it if it's new) and enter:
:LoadFileTemplate
You can also skip the .vimrc editing and just do:
:LoadFileTemplate skeleton
See the website for more details.
Assume that your skeletons are in your ~/.vim/templates/ directory, you can put this
snippet in your vimrc file.
augroup templates
au!
" read in templates files
autocmd BufNewFile *.* silent! execute '0r ~/.vim/templates/skeleton.'.expand("<afile>:e")
augroup END
Some explanation,
BufNewFile . = each time we edit a new file
silent! execute = execute silently, no error messages if failed
0r = read file and insert content at top (0) in the new file
expand(":e") = get extension of current filename
see also http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Use_eval_to_create_dynamic_templates
*fixed missing dot in file path
Create a templates subdirectory in your ~/.vim folder
$ mkdir -p ~/.vim/templates
Create a new file in subdirectory called R.skeleton and put in the header and/or other stuff you want to automagically load upon creating a new ".R " file.
$ vim ~/.vim/templates/R.skeleton
Then, add the following to your ~/.vimrc file, which may have been suggested in a way by "guest"
autocmd BufNewFile * silent! 0r $HOME/.vim/templates/%:e.skeleton
Have a look at my github repository for some more details and other options.
It's just a trick I used to use .
It's cheap but If you ain't know nothing about vim and it's commands it's easy to handle.
make a directory like this :
~/.vim/templates/barney.cpp
and as you konw barney.cpp should be your template code .
then add a function like ForUncleBarney() to end of your .vimrc file located in ~/.vimrc
it should be like
function ForBarneyStinson()
:read ~/.vim/templates/barney.cpp
endfunction
then just use this command in vim
:call ForBarneyStinson()
then you see your template
as an example I already have two templates for .cpp files
:call ForBarney()
:call ACM()
sorry said too much,
Coding's awesome ! :)
Also take a look at https://github.com/aperezdc/vim-template.git.
I use it and have contributed some patches to it and would argue its relatively full featured.
What about using the snipmate plugin? See here
There exist many template-file expanders -- you'll also find there explanations on how to implement a rudimentary template-file expander.
For my part, I'm maintaining the fork of muTemplate. For a simple start, just drop a {ft}.template file into {rtp}/template/. If you want to use any (viml) variable or expression, just do. You can even put vim code (and now even functions) into the template-file if you wish. Several smart decisions are already implemented for C++ and vim files.
I'm busy porting my build process from msbuild to cmake, to better be able to deal with the gcc toolchain (which generates much faster code for some of the numeric stuff I'm doing).
Now, I'd like cmake to generate several versions of the output, stuff like one version with sse2, another with x64, and so on. However, cmake seems to work most naturally if you simply have a bunch of flags (say, "sse2_enable", and "platform") and then generate one output based on those platforms.
What's the best way to work with multiple output configurations like this? Intuitively, I'd like to iterate over a large number of flag combinations and rerun the same CMakeLists.txt files for each combination - but of course, you can't express that within the CMakeLists.txt files (AFAIK).
The recommended way to do this is to simply have multiple build directories. From each one you simply call cmake with the required settings.
For example you could do, starting in the base source directory (using Linux shell syntax but the idea is the same):
mkdir build-sse2 && cd build-sse2
cmake .. -DENABLE_SSE2 # or whatever to enable it in your CMakeLists.txt
make
cd ..
mkdir build-x64 && cd build-x64
cmake .. -DENABLE_X64 # or whatever again...
make
This way, each build directory is completely separated from each other.
This allows you to have one directory for Debug, another for Release and another for cross-compiling.
There hasn't been much activity here, so I've come up with a workable solution myself. It's probably not ideal, so if you have a better idea, please do add it!
Now, it's hard to iterate over build configs in cmake because cmake's crucial variables don't live in function scope - so, for instance, that means if you do include_directories(X) the X directory will remain in the include list even after the function exits.
Directories do have scope - and while normally each input directory corresponds to one output directory, you can have multiple output directories.
So, my solution looks like this:
project(FooAllConfigs)
set(FooVar 2)
set(FooAnotherVar b)
add_subdirectory("project_dir" "out-2b")
set(FooVar 5)
set(FooAnotherVar c)
add_subdirectory("project_dir" "out-5c")
set(FooVar 3)
set(FooAnotherVar b)
add_subdirectory("project_dir" "out-3b")
set(FooVar 3)
set(FooAnotherVar c)
add_subdirectory("project_dir" "out-3c")
The normal project dir then contains a CMakeLists.txt file with code to set up the appropriate includes and compiler options given the global variables set in the FooAllConfigs project, and it also determines a build suffix that's appended to all build outputs - any even indirectly included output (e.g. as generated by add_executable) must have a unique name.
This works fine for me.
