How do I exclude a single file from a cmake `file(GLOB ... )` pattern?
You can use the list
function to manipulate the list, for example:
list(REMOVE_ITEM <list> <value> [<value> ...])
In your case, maybe something like this will work:
list(REMOVE_ITEM lib_srcs "IlmImf/b44ExpLogTable.cpp")
FILTER is another option which could be more convenient in some cases:
list(FILTER <list> <INCLUDE|EXCLUDE> REGEX <regular_expression>)
This line excludes every item ending with the required filename:
list(FILTER lib_srcs EXCLUDE REGEX ".*b44ExpLogTable.cpp$")
Here is Regex Specification for cmake:
The following characters have special meaning in regular expressions:
^ Matches at beginning of input
$ Matches at end of input
. Matches any single character
[ ] Matches any character(s) inside the brackets
[^ ] Matches any character(s) not inside the brackets
- Inside brackets, specifies an inclusive range between
characters on either side e.g. [a-f] is [abcdef]
To match a literal - using brackets, make it the first
or the last character e.g. [+*/-] matches basic
mathematical operators.
* Matches preceding pattern zero or more times
+ Matches preceding pattern one or more times
? Matches preceding pattern zero or once only
| Matches a pattern on either side of the |
() Saves a matched subexpression, which can be referenced
in the REGEX REPLACE operation. Additionally it is saved
by all regular expression-related commands, including
e.g. if( MATCHES ), in the variables CMAKE_MATCH_(0..9).
