If the : portion is given it must be one of the types specified by the set() command documentation for its CACHE signature. The option may be repeated for as many CACHE entries as desired. This option may be used to specify a setting that takes priority over the project's default value. When CMake is first run in an empty build tree, it creates a CMakeCache.txt file and populates it with customizable settings for the project. References to CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR and CMAKE_BINARY_DIR within the script evaluate to the top-level source and build tree. The given file should be a CMake script containing set() commands that use the CACHE option, not a cache-format file. The loaded entries take priority over the project's default values. This option may be used to specify a file from which to load cache entries before the first pass through the project's CMake listfiles. If the directory doesn't already exist CMake will make it. Path to directory which CMake will use as the root of build directory. Path to root directory of the CMake project to build.

For example, after using the Unix Makefiles generator one may run make directly: $ makeДЄlternatively, one may use cmake to Build a Project by automatically choosing and invoking the appropriate native build tool. In all cases the may be zero or more of the Options below.ДЄfter generating a buildsystem one may use the corresponding native build tool to build the project.

The build tree will be created automatically if it does not already exist. The source tree must contain a CMakeLists.txt file. The specified paths may be absolute or relative to the current working directory. Uses as the build tree and as the source tree. The specified path may be absolute or relative to the current working directory. Uses as the build tree, and loads the path to the source tree from its CMakeCache.txt file, which must have already been generated by a previous run of CMake. The source tree must contain a CMakeLists.txt file and must not contain a CMakeCache.txt file because the latter identifies an existing build tree. Uses the current working directory as the build tree, and as the source tree. Run CMake with one of the following command signatures to specify the source and build trees and generate a buildsystem: cmake When using one of the IDE Build Tool Generators, no particular environment is needed. When using one of the Command-Line Build Tool Generators CMake expects that the environment needed by the compiler toolchain is already configured in the shell. Optionally use the -G option below to specify a generator, or simply accept the default CMake chooses for the current platform. Run cmake -help to see a list of generators available locally.

#CMAKE INSTALL MAN PAGES MANUAL#

See the cmake-generators(7) manual for documentation of all generators. This chooses the kind of buildsystem to generate. An in-source build in which the build tree is placed in the same directory as the source tree is also supported, but discouraged. To maintain a pristine source tree, perform an out-of-source build by using a separate dedicated build tree. CMake will write a CMakeCache.txt file to identify the directory as a build tree and store persistent information such as buildsystem configuration options. executables and libraries) are to be stored. The top-level directory in which buildsystem files and build output artifacts (e.g. These files specify build targets and their dependencies as described in the cmake-buildsystem(7) manual. The project specifies its buildsystem using files as described in the cmake-language(7) manual, starting with a top-level file named CMakeLists.txt. The top-level directory containing source files provided by the project. To generate a buildsystem with CMake, the following must be selected: Source Tree From these files CMake generates a preferred buildsystem locally for each user through a backend called a generator. In order to avoid maintaining multiple such buildsystems, a project may specify its buildsystem abstractly using files written in the CMake language. For example, a buildsystem may be a Makefile for use with a command-line make tool or a project file for an Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

#CMAKE INSTALL MAN PAGES HOW TO#

A buildsystem describes how to build a project's executables and libraries from its source code using a build tool to automate the process.
