-WELCOME TO CROSS-PLATFORM MAKE (CMake)
|
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-CMake is a cross-platform, extensible build environment. It currently
|
|
|
-generates Unix makefiles and Microsoft Visual C++ projects/workspaces. Other
|
|
|
-OS/compiler targets are being added to this open-source system, and you can
|
|
|
-add your own, if desired.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-To use CMake, create CMakeLists.txt in each directory that makes up your
|
|
|
-source repository. The CMakeLists.txt file contains commands. Each command
|
|
|
-does something different, like defining a list of source code, include
|
|
|
-directories, makefile targets, rules, etc. Once CMake has processed all the
|
|
|
-commands in all the CMakeLists.txt files, it generates the appropriate
|
|
|
-"makefile(s)" for the system/compiler that you are on.
|
|

|
-CMake Commands
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The key to using CMake is to learn the commands. Each command has the
|
|
|
-same format:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- NAME_OF_COMMAND(args....)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-where args is a white-space separated listed of arguments. (Arguments
|
|
|
-containing spaces should be quoted). For example:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(./ d:/include "c:/Program Files/include")
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-note that Unix-style slashes are used. The commands may reference CMake
|
|
|
-variables, either built-in or defined variables. Two important variables
|
|
|
-are built-in to CMake:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR - The root directory of the source code
|
|
|
- directory tree.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CMAKE_BINARY_DIR - The root directory of the build tree
|
|
|
- where binaries are placed. This includes
|
|
|
- object files, libraries, and executables.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-A rule might reference these as follows:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR})
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-using the ${} delimiters.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Here is a list of current commands. You may also wish to view
|
|
|
-the Doxygen documentation (if available) or generate it with
|
|
|
-the doxygen.config file in this directory.
|

-USING / BUILDING WITH CMAKE
|
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Windows:
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
-These programs are used to drive CMake on Windows:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CMakeSetup.exe -> window MFC based GUI for configure on windows
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CMakeSetupCMD.exe -> windows command line version of CMakeConfigure
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-To build a project on Windows:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- load CMake/Source/CMakeSetup.dsw
|
|
|
- Build it
|
|
|
- Run it
|
|
|
- Specify paths (i.e., CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR and CMAKE_BINARY_DIR)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Load (project).dsw (the PROJECT(project) command specified the name)
|
|
|
- Build the appropriate workspaces wihin the project.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Unix:
|
|
|
-----
|
|
|
-These programs/files are used to drive CMake on Unix:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- configure -> run on unix to configure for build
|
|
|
- CMakeBuildTargets -> Unix program to read CMakeLists.txt and
|
|
|
- generate CMakeTargets.make
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- makefile fragments:
|
|
|
- CMakeMaster.make -> main file to be included by makefiles
|
|
|
- CMakeVariables.make -> all make varibles are set in this file
|
|
|
- CMakeRules.make -> All build rules are here (except Simple Rules)
|
|
|
- CMakeSimpleRules.make -> simple build rules for .o to .cxx, this is
|
|
|
- separate to be able to build CMakeBuildTargets
|
|
|
- itself.
|
|
|
- CMakeLocal.make -> Place for hand configuration
|
|
|
- CMakeTargets.make -> generated rules for make style build in each
|
|
|
- directory
|
|
|
- MakefileTemplate.make -> master makefile template used by configure to
|
|
|
- generate Makefiles
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Unix install:
|
|
|
-In-place builds (object files end up in source code directory):
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- ./configure
|
|
|
- make
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Other-directory builds (object files are in another directory, and
|
|
|
-assuming that the source code is in ./project and the following
|
|
|
-procedure is performed starting in directory ./):
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- mkdir project-build (project is the name of your project)
|
|
|
- cd project-build
|
|
|
- ../project/configure
|
|
|
- make
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-ADDING COMMANDS
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
-Rules can be added to CMake by deriving new commands from the class cmCommand
|
|
|
-(defined in CMake/Source/cmCommand.h/.cxx).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-ADDING MAKEFILE SUPPORT
|
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
-Different types of makefiles (corresponding to a different compiler and/or
|
|
|
-operating system) can be added by subclassing from cmMakefileGenerator
|
|
|
-(defined in cmMakefileGenerator.h/.cxx). Makefile generators process the
|
|
|
-information defined by the commands in CMakeLists.txt to generate the
|
|
|
-appropriate makefile(s).
