cmake-common
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
Alternatively, you can simply checkout this repository or use it as a git
submodule.
All 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 |
- Both GNU make and MinGW mingw32-make.
- 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
- project-format —
clang-formatall C/C++ files in the project. - project-ctest-driver — wrap an executable for testing with CTest;
cross-platform
grep.
Examples
I use this in all of my C++/CMake projects, e.g. aes-tools and math-server.
