.. option:: -S <path-to-source>
|
|
|
|
Path to root directory of the CMake project to build.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -B <path-to-build>
|
|
|
|
Path to directory which CMake will use as the root of build directory.
|
|
|
|
If the directory doesn't already exist CMake will make it.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -C <initial-cache>
|
|
|
|
Pre-load a script to populate the cache.
|
|
|
|
When CMake is first run in an empty build tree, it creates a
|
|
``CMakeCache.txt`` file and populates it with customizable settings for
|
|
the project. This option may be used to specify a file from which
|
|
to load cache entries before the first pass through the project's
|
|
CMake listfiles. The loaded entries take priority over the
|
|
project's default values. The given file should be a CMake script
|
|
containing :command:`set` commands that use the ``CACHE`` option, not a
|
|
cache-format file.
|
|
|
|
References to :variable:`CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR` and :variable:`CMAKE_BINARY_DIR`
|
|
within the script evaluate to the top-level source and build tree.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -D <var>:<type>=<value>, -D <var>=<value>
|
|
|
|
Create or update a CMake ``CACHE`` entry.
|
|
|
|
When CMake is first run in an empty build tree, it creates a
|
|
``CMakeCache.txt`` file and populates it with customizable settings for
|
|
the project. This option may be used to specify a setting that
|
|
takes priority over the project's default value. The option may be
|
|
repeated for as many ``CACHE`` entries as desired.
|
|
|
|
If the ``:<type>`` portion is given it must be one of the types
|
|
specified by the :command:`set` command documentation for its
|
|
``CACHE`` signature.
|
|
If the ``:<type>`` portion is omitted the entry will be created
|
|
with no type if it does not exist with a type already. If a
|
|
command in the project sets the type to ``PATH`` or ``FILEPATH``
|
|
then the ``<value>`` will be converted to an absolute path.
|
|
|
|
This option may also be given as a single argument:
|
|
``-D<var>:<type>=<value>`` or ``-D<var>=<value>``.
|
|
|
|
It's important to note that the order of ``-C`` and ``-D`` arguments is
|
|
significant. They will be carried out in the order they are listed, with the
|
|
last argument taking precedence over the previous ones. For example, if you
|
|
specify ``-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug``, followed by a ``-C`` argument with a
|
|
file that calls:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: cmake
|
|
|
|
set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE "Release" CACHE STRING "" FORCE)
|
|
|
|
then the ``-C`` argument will take precedence, and ``CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`` will
|
|
be set to ``Release``. However, if the ``-D`` argument comes after the ``-C``
|
|
argument, it will be set to ``Debug``.
|
|
|
|
If a ``set(... CACHE ...)`` call in the ``-C`` file does not use ``FORCE``,
|
|
and a ``-D`` argument sets the same variable, the ``-D`` argument will take
|
|
precedence regardless of order because of the nature of non-``FORCE``
|
|
``set(... CACHE ...)`` calls.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -U <globbing_expr>
|
|
|
|
Remove matching entries from CMake ``CACHE``.
|
|
|
|
This option may be used to remove one or more variables from the
|
|
``CMakeCache.txt`` file, globbing expressions using ``*`` and ``?`` are
|
|
supported. The option may be repeated for as many ``CACHE`` entries as
|
|
desired.
|
|
|
|
Use with care, you can make your ``CMakeCache.txt`` non-working.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -G <generator-name>
|
|
|
|
Specify a build system generator.
|
|
|
|
CMake may support multiple native build systems on certain
|
|
platforms. A generator is responsible for generating a particular
|
|
build system. Possible generator names are specified in the
|
|
:manual:`cmake-generators(7)` manual.
|
|
|
|
If not specified, CMake checks the :envvar:`CMAKE_GENERATOR` environment
|
|
variable and otherwise falls back to a builtin default selection.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -T <toolset-spec>
|
|
|
|
Toolset specification for the generator, if supported.
|
|
|
|
Some CMake generators support a toolset specification to tell
|
|
the native build system how to choose a compiler. See the
|
|
:variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` variable for details.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -A <platform-name>
|
|
|
|
Specify platform name if supported by generator.
|
|
|
|
Some CMake generators support a platform name to be given to the
|
|
native build system to choose a compiler or SDK. See the
|
|
:variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` variable for details.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --toolchain <path-to-file>
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.21
|
|
|
|
Specify the cross compiling toolchain file, equivalent to setting
|
|
:variable:`CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE` variable.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --install-prefix <directory>
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.21
|
|
|
|
Specify the installation directory, used by the
|
|
:variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` variable. Must be an absolute path.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -Wno-dev
|
|
|
|
Suppress developer warnings.
|
|
|
|
Suppress warnings that are meant for the author of the
|
|
``CMakeLists.txt`` files. By default this will also turn off
|
|
deprecation warnings.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -Wdev
|
|
|
|
Enable developer warnings.
|
|
|
|
Enable warnings that are meant for the author of the ``CMakeLists.txt``
|
|
files. By default this will also turn on deprecation warnings.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -Wdeprecated
|
|
|
|
Enable deprecated functionality warnings.
|
|
|
|
Enable warnings for usage of deprecated functionality, that are meant
|
|
for the author of the ``CMakeLists.txt`` files.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -Wno-deprecated
|
|
|
|
Suppress deprecated functionality warnings.
|
|
|
|
Suppress warnings for usage of deprecated functionality, that are meant
|
|
for the author of the ``CMakeLists.txt`` files.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -Werror=<what>
|
|
|
|
Treat CMake warnings as errors. ``<what>`` must be one of the following:
|
|
|
|
``dev``
|
|
Make developer warnings errors.
|
|
|
|
Make warnings that are meant for the author of the ``CMakeLists.txt`` files
|
|
errors. By default this will also turn on deprecated warnings as errors.
|
|
|
|
``deprecated``
|
|
Make deprecated macro and function warnings errors.
|
|
|
|
Make warnings for usage of deprecated macros and functions, that are meant
|
|
for the author of the ``CMakeLists.txt`` files, errors.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -Wno-error=<what>
|
|
|
|
Do not treat CMake warnings as errors. ``<what>`` must be one of the following:
|
|
|
|
``dev``
|
|
Make warnings that are meant for the author of the ``CMakeLists.txt`` files not
|
|
errors. By default this will also turn off deprecated warnings as errors.
|
|
|
|
``deprecated``
|
|
Make warnings for usage of deprecated macros and functions, that are meant
|
|
for the author of the ``CMakeLists.txt`` files, not errors.
