CMakeVerifyManifest

This module is intended to be used in command-line mode using the cmake -P to verify that embedded manifests and side-by-side manifests for a project match.

Load this module in a CMake script with:

include(CMakeVerifyManifest)

This module first recursively globs *.manifest files from the current source directory and creates a list of allowed versions.

Next, the script globs all *.exe and *.dll files. Each .exe and .dll file is scanned for embedded manifests and the versions of CRT are checked to be in the list of allowed versions.

Input Variables

This module accepts the following variables:

allow_versions

Additional versions can be passed by setting the allow_versions variable from the invocation command. This enables using additional embedded manifest versions in a project, even if that version was not found in a .manifest file.

Examples

To use this module in the project, create a local command-line script (for example, in the project's subdirectory cmake/scripts) and include the module:

include(CMakeVerifyManifest)

Then run the local script in command-line and, for example, specify additional embedded manifest of 8.0.50608.0 to be used in a project:

cmake -Dallow_versions=8.0.50608.0 -Pcmake/scripts/verify-manifest.cmake
