cmake

Cross-platform build, testing and packaging automation system. CMake uses its own shell-like syntax and generates recipes for many build systems. More information: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake.1.html.

• Generate a build recipe in the current directory with CMakeLists.txt from a project directory:

cmake {{path/to/project_directory}}

• Build artifacts with the generated recipe in build_directory:

cmake --build {{path/to/build_directory}}

• Install the build artifacts into /usr/local/ striping debugging symbols:

cmake --install {{path/to/build_directory}} --strip --prefix /usr/local/

• Run a custom build target:

cmake --build {{path/to/build_dir/}} --target {{target_name}}
