# cmake
> Cross-platform build system generator.
> It generates Makefiles, Visual Studio projects or others, depending on the target system.
> Cross-platform build, testing and packaging automation system.
> CMake uses own syntax inspired by shell and generates recipes for build
> systems like Make, Ninja and Microsoft Visual Studio.
> More information: <https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake.1.html>.
- Generate a Makefile and use it to compile a project in the same directory as the source:
- Generate a build recipe in the current directory with CMakeLists.txt from a project directory:
`cmake && make`
`cmake {{path/to/project_dir/}}`
- Generate a Makefile and use it to compile a project in a separate "build" directory (out-of-source build):
- Build with the generated recipe in build_dir (artifacts go to build_dir):
`cmake -H. -B {{build}} && make -C {{build}}`
`cmake --build {{path/to/build_dir/}}`
- Install the project:
`cmake --install {{path/to/build_dir/}}`
- Run a custom build target:
`cmake --build {{path/to/build_dir/}} --target {{target_name}}`
