CMake provides the following command for recursive files globing: file(GLOB_RECURSE variable [RELATIVE path] [FOLLOW_SYMLINKS] [globbing expressions]…) Command documentation: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.8/cmake.html#command:file
CMake generated makefiles support the DESTDIR coding convention for makefiles. Thus you can override the default installation location by setting the DESTDIR variable upon invoking make: $ make install DESTDIR=/opt/local There is no need to re-run CMake.
Reading through the cmake quick start, you can specify variable on a command line: cmake -DVARIABLE1=value1 -DVARIABLE2=value2 … Otherwise, set command in the cmake script is probably what you want, see the reference manual. To set the environment variable PATH, do: set(ENV{PATH} “/home/martink”) To set normal variable, do: set(variable “value”) Not sure which ones you …
There is no automated tool that will convert an arbitrary build system from autotools to cmake. I have converted a few moderately large projects manually. I like to create one CMakeLists.txt file for each set of configure.ac and/or Makefile.am file, to ease the conversion from autotools to cmake. Sadly, this manual approach requires developing an …
The clean task is defined by the java plugin and it simply removes the buildDir folder, thus cleaning everything including leftovers from previous builds which are no longer relevant. Not doing so may result in an unclean build which may be broken due to build artifacts produced by previous builds. As an example assume that …
There are two types of generators: single-configurations and multi-configurations. Single configurations Make-like generators: Unix Makefiles, NMake Makefiles, MinGW Makefiles, … You set the configuration type in the generate step: cmake -H. -B_builds/Debug -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug “-GUnix Makefiles” In this case, the build step is always Debug: > cmake –build _builds/Debug /usr/bin/c++ -g … > cmake –build _builds/Debug …
For anybody having an issue with Xcode 10 build system, follow the following steps to fix it: In Xcode, go to File->Project/Workspace settings. Change the build system to Legacy Build system. It will resolve the build issue with the new Xcode. If you want to work with the new build system, then you can find …
settings.gradle The settings.gradle file is a Groovy script, just like the build.gradle file. Only one settings.gradle script will be executed in each build (in comparison to multiple build.gradle scripts in multi-project builds). The settings.gradle script will be executed before any build.gradle script and even before the Project instances are created. Therefore, it is evaluated against …
In truth, Autotools’ only real ‘saving grace’ is that it is what all the GNU projects are largely using. Issues with Autotools: Truly ARCANE m4 macro syntax combined with verbose, twisted shell scripting for tests for “compatibility”, etc. If you’re not paying attention, you will mess up cross-compilation ability (It should clearly be noted that …
