CMakeVerifyManifest — CMake 4.4.0 Documentation

# 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:

`cmake/scripts/verify-manifest.cmake`

    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
