cmake

Cross-platform build system generator. It generates Makefiles, Visual Studio projects or others, depending on the target system. 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:

cmake && make

  • Generate a Makefile and use it to compile a project in a separate "build" directory (out-of-source build):

cmake -H. -B {{build}} && make -C {{build}}
