cmake
Cross-platform build automation system, that generates recipes for native build systems. More information: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake.1.html.
-
Generate a build recipe in the current directory with
CMakeLists.txt
from a project directory:
cmake {{path/to/project_directory}}
-
Generate a build recipe, with build type set to
Release
with CMake variable:
cmake {{path/to/project_directory}} -D {{CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release}}
-
Generate a build recipe using
generator_name
as the underlying build system:
cmake -G {{generator_name}} {{path/to/project_directory}}
-
Use a generated recipe in a given directory to build artifacts:
cmake --build {{path/to/build_directory}}
-
Install the build artifacts into
/usr/local/
and strip debugging symbols:
cmake --install {{path/to/build_directory}} --strip
-
Install the build artifacts using the custom prefix for paths:
cmake --install {{path/to/build_directory}} --strip --prefix {{path/to/directory}}
-
Run a custom build target:
cmake --build {{path/to/build_directory}} --target {{target_name}}
-
Display help, obtain a list of generators:
cmake --help
