Get Cmake Tutorial - Kfe Fjfi Cvut

CMake is a meta build system that uses scripts called CMakeLists to generate build files for a specific environment (for example, makefiles on Unix machines). When you create a new CMake project in CLion, a CMakeLists. txt file is generated automatically under the project root.

To open an existing CMake project in CLion, do one of the following: Select File | Open and locate the project directory. This directory should contain a CMakeLists. txt file. Select File | Open and point CLion to the top-level CMakeLists. txt file (or locate the CMakeCache. txt file). Then click Open as Project:

The binary directory is sometimes referred to as the build directory and is where CMake will put the resulting object files, libraries, and executables. CMake will not write any files to the source directory, only to the binary directory.

The tutorial documentation and source code for examples can be found in the Help/guide/tutorial directory of the CMake source code tree. Each step has its own subdirectory containing code that may be used as a starting point.

The most basic CMake project is an executable built from a single source code file. For simple projects like this, a CMakeLists.txt file with three commands is all that is required.
