NAME
ccmake - CMake Curses Dialog Command-Line Reference
SYNOPSIS
ccmake [<options>] (<path-to-source> | <path-to-existing-build>)
DESCRIPTION
The "ccmake" executable is the CMake curses interface. Project configuration settings may
be specified interactively through this GUI. Brief instructions are provided at the
bottom of the terminal when the program is running.
CMake is a cross-platform build system generator. Projects specify their build process
with platform-independent CMake listfiles included in each directory of a source tree with
the name CMakeLists.txt. Users build a project by using CMake to generate a build system
for a native tool on their platform.
OPTIONS
-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 SET
commands that use the CACHE option, not a cache-format file.
-D <var>:<type>=<value>, -D <var>=<value>
Create 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 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>.
-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.
-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 cmake-generators(7) manual.
-T <toolset-name>
Specify toolset name if supported by generator.
Some CMake generators support a toolset name to be given to the native build system
to choose a compiler. This is supported only on specific generators:
Visual Studio >= 10
Xcode >= 3.0
See native build system documentation for allowed toolset names.
-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. This is supported only on specific generators:
Visual Studio >= 8
See native build system documentation for allowed platform names.
-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.
-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.
-Werror=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.
-Wno-error=dev
Make developer warnings not errors.
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.
-Wdeprecated
Enable deprecated functionality warnings.
Enable warnings for usage of deprecated functionality, that are meant for the
author of the CMakeLists.txt files.
-Wno-deprecated
Suppress deprecated functionality warnings.
Suppress warnings for usage of deprecated functionality, that are meant for the
author of the CMakeLists.txt files.
-Werror=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.
-Wno-error=deprecated
Make deprecated macro and function warnings not errors.
Make warnings for usage of deprecated macros and functions, that are meant for the
author of the CMakeLists.txt files, not errors.
