cmake_minimum_required
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Set the minimum required version of cmake for a project and
|
|
update `Policy Settings`_ to match the version given::
|
|
|
|
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION major.minor[.patch[.tweak]]
|
|
[FATAL_ERROR])
|
|
|
|
If the current version of CMake is lower than that required it will
|
|
stop processing the project and report an error.
|
|
|
|
The ``FATAL_ERROR`` option is accepted but ignored by CMake 2.6 and
|
|
higher. It should be specified so CMake versions 2.4 and lower fail
|
|
with an error instead of just a warning.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Call the ``cmake_minimum_required()`` command at the beginning of
|
|
the top-level ``CMakeLists.txt`` file even before calling the
|
|
:command:`project` command. It is important to establish version
|
|
and policy settings before invoking other commands whose behavior
|
|
they may affect. See also policy :policy:`CMP0000`.
|
|
|
|
Calling ``cmake_minimum_required()`` inside a :command:`function`
|
|
limits some effects to the function scope when invoked. Such calls
|
|
should not be made with the intention of having global effects.
|
|
|
|
Policy Settings
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The ``cmake_minimum_required(VERSION)`` command implicitly invokes the
|
|
:command:`cmake_policy(VERSION)` command to specify that the current
|
|
project code is written for the given version of CMake.
|
|
All policies introduced in the specified version or earlier will be
|
|
set to use NEW behavior. All policies introduced after the specified
|
|
version will be unset. This effectively requests behavior preferred
|
|
as of a given CMake version and tells newer CMake versions to warn
|
|
about their new policies.
|
|
|
|
When a version higher than 2.4 is specified the command implicitly
|
|
invokes::
|
|
|
|
cmake_policy(VERSION major[.minor[.patch[.tweak]]])
|
|
|
|
which sets the cmake policy version level to the version specified.
|
|
When version 2.4 or lower is given the command implicitly invokes::
|
|
|
|
cmake_policy(VERSION 2.4)
|
|
|
|
which enables compatibility features for CMake 2.4 and lower.
