Run CMake with one of the following command signatures to specify the source and build When using one of the IDE Build Tool Generators, no particular environment is When using one of the Command-Line Build Tool Generators CMake expects that theĮnvironment needed by the compiler toolchain is already configured in the shell. Generator, or simply accept the default CMake chooses for the current platform. Optionally use the -G option below to specify a Manual for documentation of all generators. This chooses the kind of buildsystem to generate. Placed in the same directory as the source tree is also supported, but discouraged. An in-source build in which the build tree is To maintain a pristine source tree, perform an out-of-source build by using a Such as buildsystem configuration options. CMake will write a CMakeCache.txtįile to identify the directory as a build tree and store persistent information The top-level directory in which buildsystem files and build output artifacts (e.g.Įxecutables and libraries) are to be stored. These files specifyīuild targets and their dependencies as described in the cmake-buildsystem(7) Manual, starting with a top-level file named CMakeLists.txt. Project specifies its buildsystem using files as described in the cmake-language(7) The top-level directory containing source files provided by the project. To generate a buildsystem with CMake, the following must be selected: From these files CMake generates a preferred buildsystem locally for each user In order to avoid maintaining multiple such buildsystems,Ī project may specify its buildsystem abstractly using files written in the CMake language. Makefile for use with a command-line make tool or a project file for an Integratedĭevelopment Environment (IDE).

The other actions are meant for use by software developers writing scripts in the CMake language to support their builds.įor graphical user interfaces that may be used in place of cmake, see ccmake andĬmake-gui.

Optionally useĬmake to Build a Project, Install a Project or just run the corresponding build tool (e.g. To build a software project with CMake, Generate a Project Buildsystem. The above Synopsis lists various actions the tool can perform as The cmake executable is the command-line interface of the cross-platform buildsystem
