Welcome to CMake, the cross-platform, open-source make system. CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. CMake generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice. CMake is quite sophisticated: it is possible to support complex environments requiring system configuration, pre-processor generation, code generation, and template instantiation.

Tutorials

CMake

  • Qt with CMake Explains how to use CMake to build software with Qt4 and how to use it for Qt3 and KDE3 applications
  • Chicken Scheme - Chicken is a performance oriented Scheme-to-C compiler. It is actively supported on all major C compilers and operating systems. Chicken's CMake build system is extensively commented and is intended to serve as a tutorial for new CMake users. Chicken is a non-trivial, modestly sized project, about 75,000 lines of code. As such, the build system is easier to understand than larger projects, and it has many examples of non-trivial CMake features. For instance, it demonstrates how to use ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND to drive languages other than C/C++. It also demonstrates the nuances of multi-stage "bootstrapping" problems, i.e. how to generate source files and executables that are needed by the build itself, and how to reuse the same build rules in multiple directories.

CTest

  • Testing With CTest
    Introduces to testing with CTest, submitting dashboards, and using CMake to add tests to the test system.
  • CTest Scripting
    Describes the scripting with CTest which can significantly simplify and automate testing and submitting dashboards.
