Remembering Cmake syntax, including generating project files for the Eclipse IDE
25 Jun 2022I always forget the cmake syntax if it is anything below cmake ../src
. Here are some common combinations, I usually create an Eclipse project with cmake and then import to the Eclipse IDE.
cmake ../src
(basic)cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../src
(Release configuration)cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../src
(Debug configuration)cmake -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_ECLIPSE_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT=TRUE ../src/
(Create an Eclipse project to import – it will be in the build folder)
