问题
I have a library with a bunch of different configuration options. We usually configure the build with cmake-gui and ticking a few checkboxes.
I want to automate this into a .sh script using just cmake.
e.g.
In GUI -> selects a bunch of different options
equivalent cmake command -> cmake -D CMAKE_XXX=X -D CMAKE_XXY=XXY [a bunch of options here] ..
How can I find the "equivalent" cmake command-line command to any arbitrary configuration I choose from the GUI?
回答1:
The equivalent cmake command to cache a variable is explained here (-D option). Note that previous documentation was ambiguous, so take care of always checking the latest one.
Basically:
-D<var>:<type>=<value>
You have to specify also the type to have the variable cached in the same way as through your cmake-gui procedure. Note that variable definition is necessary only the first time: if not specified anymore, the cached value will be used.
回答2:
Had the same question ... and as you asked I looking up some of the options in the menu and found it. Menu Tools -> Show My Changes
Bringing up an Dialog with an edit field with content for command line options or cache file options.
yeah
p.s. I used cmake 3.11.1
回答3:
cmake-gui generates CMakeVars.txt and CMakeCache.txt files in the build directory once you click "Configure" button. They cache all variables you configured through the GUI.
回答4:
just read file named like CMakeCache.txt (iirc) in the root of build directory and see variable names there
回答5:
You can write a file containing all variables you want to set with set(<var_name> <value>) and pass this file to the CMake call via -C:
cmake -C <fileWithInitialValues> <pathToSrcDir>
