CMake is one of the numerous build systems that seeks to replace Autotools+Make in the twenty-first century.
A CMake build can be configured on the command line with -D switches, or using ccmake/cmake-gui. Either way, the result is build infrastructure for some other tool, such as Make or Ninja.
Build Types
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE can take any of the values in CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES. Important ones include:
- Debug -- no optimization, full debug info, assert (NDEBUG is not defined)
- RelWithDebInfo -- optimized, symbols
- Release -- optimized, no symbols
- MinSizeRel -- optimized for size
If CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is not provided, none of these is used -- no debugging flags are set, and no optimization flags are set, in a somewhat stunning bit of unexpected behavior. The following snippet will ensure a default of RelWithDebInfo, and allow the value to be selected from a set in the gui:
set_property(CACHE CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE PROPERTY STRINGS
"Debug" "Release" "MinSizeRel" "RelWithDebInfo")
if(NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE AND NOT CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES)
set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE "RelWithDebInfo" CACHE STRING "Choose build mode." FORCE)
endif()
message(STATUS "Requested build mode: ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}")
