CMake is a tool to manage building of source code. Originally, CMake wasdesigned as a generator for various dialects of Makefile
, todayCMake generates modern buildsystems such as Ninja
as well as projectfiles for IDEs such as Visual Studio and Xcode.
- CMake is a tool for defining and managing code builds, primarily for C. CMake is a cross-platform tool; the idea is to have a single definition of how the project is built - which translates into specific build definitions for any supported platform. It accomplishes this by pairing with different platform-specific buildsystems; CMake is an intermediate step, that generates build input for different specific platforms.
- Hi, Is there a way to get cmake 3.11 to emit 17 vs 1y when setting CMAKECXXSTANDARD? I'm finding that it seems to be a common practice to use the value of the preprocessor define cplusplus (which is a date), and the value differs depending on whether 17 or 1y is used (at least with CLang).
- This video shows you how to make a hello world project with CMake. You will learn how to use the addexecutable command to create an executable target.
CMake is widely used for the C and C++ languages, but it may be used tobuild source code of other languages too.
G -std=c17 yourcode.cpp -lstdcfs. Clang -std=c17 yourcode.cpp -lstdcfs To do the above with CMake add the following after addexecutable: targetlinklibraries(projectnamehere stdcfs) For LLVM libc before 9.0 with clang you need to use the flag -lcfs as the last flag. A certainly pedantic comment is that I consider this a bug in cmake: when I ask for C11, C+14, C17 I want cmake to set all flags that are needed to make the compiler conform, and that includes the value of the cplusplus macro. – tobis May 23 '19 at 9:18.

People encountering CMake for the first time may have different initialgoals. To learn how to build a source code package downloaded from theinternet, start with the UserInteractionGuide
.This will detail the steps needed to run the cmake(1)
orcmake-gui(1)
executable and how to choose a generator, andhow to complete the build.
