cmake-common

Basic usage Boost (toolsets) Examples (toolsets)

Utilities to help develop C++/CMake projects.

Description

This main goal of this project is to make it easier to build (potentially, cross-compile) Boost and CMake projects using different toolsets. It does so by providing a set of command-line utilities that allow users to download/build Boost & use it in a CMake project in a consistent way — no matter the compiler or the target platform.

Installation

  • Via PyPI:

    pip install cmake-common
    
  • As a submodule:

    git submodule add https://github.com/egor-tensin/cmake-common.git
    

    All the scripts provided by the PyPI package are thin wrappers around the project package modules:

    Script Module
    boost-download python -m project.boost.download
    boost-build python -m project.boost.build
    project-build python -m project.build

Toolsets

Supported platform/build system/compiler combinations include, but are not limited to:

Platform Build system Compiler
Linux make Clang
GCC
MinGW-w64
Windows make [1] Clang [2]
MinGW-w64
msbuild MSVC
  1. Both GNU make and MinGW mingw32-make.
  2. clang-cl is supported by Boost 1.69.0 or higher only.

All of those are verified continuously by the Boost (toolsets) and Examples (toolsets) workflows.

For a complete list of possible --toolset parameter values, pass the --help-toolsets flag to either boost-build or project-build.

Usage

Boost

Download & build the Boost libraries in a cross-platform way.

$ boost-download 1.72.0
...

$ boost-build boost_1_72_0/ filesystem program_options
...

Pass the --help flag to view detailed usage information.

CMake project

Build (and optionally, install) a CMake project.

$ project-build --configuration release --install path/to/somewhere --boost path/to/boost -- examples/simple build/
...

$ ./path/to/somewhere/bin/foo
foo

Pass the --help flag to view detailed usage information.

Additional tools

Examples

I use this in all of my C++/CMake projects, e.g. aes-tools and math-server.
