DESCRIPTION
The "cmake-gui" executable is the CMake GUI. Project configuration
settings may be specified interactively. Brief instructions are pro‐
vided at the bottom of the window 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--copyright [file]
Print the CMake copyright and exit.
If a file is specified, the copyright is written into it.
--help,-help,-usage,-h,-H,/?
Print usage information and exit.
Usage describes the basic command line interface and its
options.
--help-full [file]
Print full help and exit.
Full help displays most of the documentation provided by the
UNIX man page. It is provided for use on non-UNIX platforms,
but is also convenient if the man page is not installed. If a
file is specified, the help is written into it.
--help-html [file]
Print full help in HTML format.
This option is used by CMake authors to help produce web pages.
If a file is specified, the help is written into it.
--help-man [file]
Print full help as a UNIX man page and exit.
This option is used by the cmake build to generate the UNIX man
page. If a file is specified, the help is written into it.
--version,-version,/V [file]
Show program name/version banner and exit.
If a file is specified, the version is written into it.
GENERATORS
The following generators are available on this platform:

COMMANDS
add_compile_options
Adds options to the compilation of source files.
add_compile_options(<option> ...)
Adds options to the compiler command line for sources in the
current directory and below. This command can be used to add
any options, but alternative commands exist to add preprocessor
definitions or include directories. See documentation of the
directory and target COMPILE_OPTIONS properties for details.
Arguments to add_compile_options may use "generator expressions"
with the syntax "$<...>". Generator expressions are evaluated
during build system generation to produce information specific
to each build configuration. Valid expressions are:
$<0:...> = empty string (ignores "...")
$<1:...> = content of "..."
$<CONFIG:cfg> = '1' if config is "cfg", else '0'
$<CONFIGURATION> = configuration name
$<BOOL:...> = '1' if the '...' is true, else '0'
$<STREQUAL:a,b> = '1' if a is STREQUAL b, else '0'
$<ANGLE-R> = A literal '>'. Used to compare strings which contain a '>' for example.
$<COMMA> = A literal ','. Used to compare strings which contain a ',' for example.
$<SEMICOLON> = A literal ';'. Used to prevent list expansion on an argument with ';'.
$<JOIN:list,...> = joins the list with the content of "..."
$<TARGET_NAME:...> = Marks ... as being the name of a target. This is required if exporting targets to multiple dependent export sets. The '...' must be a literal name of a target- it may not contain generator expressions.
$<INSTALL_INTERFACE:...> = content of "..." when the property is exported using install(EXPORT), and empty otherwise.
$<BUILD_INTERFACE:...> = content of "..." when the property is exported using export(), or when the target is used by another target in the same buildsystem. Expands to the empty string otherwise.
$<C_COMPILER_ID> = The CMake-id of the C compiler used.
$<C_COMPILER_ID:comp> = '1' if the CMake-id of the C compiler matches comp, otherwise '0'.
$<CXX_COMPILER_ID> = The CMake-id of the CXX compiler used.
$<CXX_COMPILER_ID:comp> = '1' if the CMake-id of the CXX compiler matches comp, otherwise '0'.
$<VERSION_GREATER:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is a version greater than v2, else '0'.
$<VERSION_LESS:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is a version less than v2, else '0'.
$<VERSION_EQUAL:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is the same version as v2, else '0'.
$<C_COMPILER_VERSION> = The version of the C compiler used.
$<C_COMPILER_VERSION:ver> = '1' if the version of the C compiler matches ver, otherwise '0'.
$<CXX_COMPILER_VERSION> = The version of the CXX compiler used.
$<CXX_COMPILER_VERSION:ver> = '1' if the version of the CXX compiler matches ver, otherwise '0'.
$<TARGET_FILE:tgt> = main file (.exe, .so.1.2, .a)
$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE:tgt> = file used to link (.a, .lib, .so)
$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE:tgt> = file with soname (.so.3)
where "tgt" is the name of a target. Target file expressions
produce a full path, but _DIR and _NAME versions can produce the
directory and file name components:
$<TARGET_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:tgt,prop> = The value of the property prop on the target tgt.
Note that tgt is not added as a dependency of the target this
expression is evaluated on.
$<TARGET_POLICY:pol> = '1' if the policy was NEW when the 'head' target was created, else '0'. If the policy was not set, the warning message for the policy will be emitted. This generator expression only works for a subset of policies.
$<INSTALL_PREFIX> = Content of the install prefix when the target is exported via INSTALL(EXPORT) and empty otherwise.
Boolean expressions:
$<AND:?[,?]...> = '1' if all '?' are '1', else '0'
$<OR:?[,?]...> = '0' if all '?' are '0', else '1'
$<NOT:?> = '0' if '?' is '1', else '1'
where '?' is always either '0' or '1'.
Expressions with an implicit 'this' target:
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:prop> = The value of the property prop on the target on which the generator expression is evaluated.
add_custom_command
Add a custom build rule to the generated build system.
There are two main signatures for add_custom_command The first
signature is for adding a custom command to produce an output.
add_custom_command(OUTPUT output1 [output2 ...]
COMMAND command1 [ARGS] [args1...]
[COMMAND command2 [ARGS] [args2...] ...]
[MAIN_DEPENDENCY depend]
[DEPENDS [depends...]]
[IMPLICIT_DEPENDS <lang1> depend1
[<lang2> depend2] ...]
[WORKING_DIRECTORY dir]
[COMMENT comment] [VERBATIM] [APPEND])
This defines a command to generate specified OUTPUT file(s). A
target created in the same directory (CMakeLists.txt file) that
specifies any output of the custom command as a source file is
given a rule to generate the file using the command at build
time. Do not list the output in more than one independent tar‐
get that may build in parallel or the two instances of the rule
may conflict (instead use add_custom_target to drive the command
and make the other targets depend on that one). If an output
name is a relative path it will be interpreted relative to the
build tree directory corresponding to the current source direc‐
tory. Note that MAIN_DEPENDENCY is completely optional and is
used as a suggestion to visual studio about where to hang the
custom command. In makefile terms this creates a new target in
the following form:
OUTPUT: MAIN_DEPENDENCY DEPENDS
COMMAND
If more than one command is specified they will be executed in
order. The optional ARGS argument is for backward compatibility
and will be ignored.
The second signature adds a custom command to a target such as a
library or executable. This is useful for performing an opera‐
tion before or after building the target. The command becomes
part of the target and will only execute when the target itself
is built. If the target is already built, the command will not
execute.
add_custom_command(TARGET target
PRE_BUILD | PRE_LINK | POST_BUILD
COMMAND command1 [ARGS] [args1...]
[COMMAND command2 [ARGS] [args2...] ...]
[WORKING_DIRECTORY dir]
[COMMENT comment] [VERBATIM])
This defines a new command that will be associated with building
the specified target. When the command will happen is determined
by which of the following is specified:
PRE_BUILD - run before all other dependencies
PRE_LINK - run after other dependencies
POST_BUILD - run after the target has been built
Note that the PRE_BUILD option is only supported on Visual Stu‐
dio 7 or later. For all other generators PRE_BUILD will be
treated as PRE_LINK.
If WORKING_DIRECTORY is specified the command will be executed
in the directory given. If it is a relative path it will be
interpreted relative to the build tree directory corresponding
to the current source directory. If COMMENT is set, the value
will be displayed as a message before the commands are executed
at build time. If APPEND is specified the COMMAND and DEPENDS
option values are appended to the custom command for the first
output specified. There must have already been a previous call
to this command with the same output. The COMMENT, WORK‐
ING_DIRECTORY, and MAIN_DEPENDENCY options are currently ignored
when APPEND is given, but may be used in the future.
If VERBATIM is given then all arguments to the commands will be
escaped properly for the build tool so that the invoked command
receives each argument unchanged. Note that one level of
escapes is still used by the CMake language processor before
add_custom_command even sees the arguments. Use of VERBATIM is
recommended as it enables correct behavior. When VERBATIM is not
given the behavior is platform specific because there is no pro‐
tection of tool-specific special characters.
If the output of the custom command is not actually created as a
file on disk it should be marked as SYMBOLIC with
SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES.
The IMPLICIT_DEPENDS option requests scanning of implicit depen‐
dencies of an input file. The language given specifies the pro‐
gramming language whose corresponding dependency scanner should
be used. Currently only C and CXX language scanners are sup‐
ported. The language has to be specified for every file in the
IMPLICIT_DEPENDS list. Dependencies discovered from the scanning
are added to those of the custom command at build time. Note
that the IMPLICIT_DEPENDS option is currently supported only for
Makefile generators and will be ignored by other generators.
If COMMAND specifies an executable target (created by ADD_EXE‐
CUTABLE) it will automatically be replaced by the location of
the executable created at build time. Additionally a tar‐
get-level dependency will be added so that the executable target
will be built before any target using this custom command. How‐
ever this does NOT add a file-level dependency that would cause
the custom command to re-run whenever the executable is recom‐
piled.
Arguments to COMMAND may use "generator expressions" with the
syntax "$<...>". Generator expressions are evaluated during
build system generation to produce information specific to each
build configuration. Valid expressions are:
$<0:...> = empty string (ignores "...")
$<1:...> = content of "..."
$<CONFIG:cfg> = '1' if config is "cfg", else '0'
$<CONFIGURATION> = configuration name
$<BOOL:...> = '1' if the '...' is true, else '0'
$<STREQUAL:a,b> = '1' if a is STREQUAL b, else '0'
$<ANGLE-R> = A literal '>'. Used to compare strings which contain a '>' for example.
$<COMMA> = A literal ','. Used to compare strings which contain a ',' for example.
$<SEMICOLON> = A literal ';'. Used to prevent list expansion on an argument with ';'.
$<JOIN:list,...> = joins the list with the content of "..."
$<TARGET_NAME:...> = Marks ... as being the name of a target. This is required if exporting targets to multiple dependent export sets. The '...' must be a literal name of a target- it may not contain generator expressions.
$<INSTALL_INTERFACE:...> = content of "..." when the property is exported using install(EXPORT), and empty otherwise.
$<BUILD_INTERFACE:...> = content of "..." when the property is exported using export(), or when the target is used by another target in the same buildsystem. Expands to the empty string otherwise.
$<C_COMPILER_ID> = The CMake-id of the C compiler used.
$<C_COMPILER_ID:comp> = '1' if the CMake-id of the C compiler matches comp, otherwise '0'.
$<CXX_COMPILER_ID> = The CMake-id of the CXX compiler used.
$<CXX_COMPILER_ID:comp> = '1' if the CMake-id of the CXX compiler matches comp, otherwise '0'.
$<VERSION_GREATER:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is a version greater than v2, else '0'.
$<VERSION_LESS:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is a version less than v2, else '0'.
$<VERSION_EQUAL:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is the same version as v2, else '0'.
$<C_COMPILER_VERSION> = The version of the C compiler used.
$<C_COMPILER_VERSION:ver> = '1' if the version of the C compiler matches ver, otherwise '0'.
$<CXX_COMPILER_VERSION> = The version of the CXX compiler used.
$<CXX_COMPILER_VERSION:ver> = '1' if the version of the CXX compiler matches ver, otherwise '0'.
$<TARGET_FILE:tgt> = main file (.exe, .so.1.2, .a)
$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE:tgt> = file used to link (.a, .lib, .so)
$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE:tgt> = file with soname (.so.3)
where "tgt" is the name of a target. Target file expressions
produce a full path, but _DIR and _NAME versions can produce the
directory and file name components:
$<TARGET_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:tgt,prop> = The value of the property prop on the target tgt.
Note that tgt is not added as a dependency of the target this
expression is evaluated on.
$<TARGET_POLICY:pol> = '1' if the policy was NEW when the 'head' target was created, else '0'. If the policy was not set, the warning message for the policy will be emitted. This generator expression only works for a subset of policies.
$<INSTALL_PREFIX> = Content of the install prefix when the target is exported via INSTALL(EXPORT) and empty otherwise.
Boolean expressions:
$<AND:?[,?]...> = '1' if all '?' are '1', else '0'
$<OR:?[,?]...> = '0' if all '?' are '0', else '1'
$<NOT:?> = '0' if '?' is '1', else '1'
where '?' is always either '0' or '1'.
Expressions with an implicit 'this' target:
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:prop> = The value of the property prop on the target on which the generator expression is evaluated.
References to target names in generator expressions imply tar‐
get-level dependencies, but NOT file-level dependencies. List
target names with the DEPENDS option to add file dependencies.
The DEPENDS option specifies files on which the command depends.
If any dependency is an OUTPUT of another custom command in the
same directory (CMakeLists.txt file) CMake automatically brings
the other custom command into the target in which this command
is built. If DEPENDS is not specified the command will run
whenever the OUTPUT is missing; if the command does not actually
create the OUTPUT then the rule will always run. If DEPENDS
specifies any target (created by an ADD_* command) a tar‐
get-level dependency is created to make sure the target is built
before any target using this custom command. Additionally, if
the target is an executable or library a file-level dependency
is created to cause the custom command to re-run whenever the
target is recompiled.
add_custom_target
Add a target with no output so it will always be built.
add_custom_target(Name [ALL] [command1 [args1...]]
[COMMAND command2 [args2...] ...]
[DEPENDS depend depend depend ... ]
[WORKING_DIRECTORY dir]
[COMMENT comment] [VERBATIM]
[SOURCES src1 [src2...]])
Adds a target with the given name that executes the given com‐
mands. The target has no output file and is ALWAYS CONSIDERED
OUT OF DATE even if the commands try to create a file with the
name of the target. Use ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND to generate a file
with dependencies. By default nothing depends on the custom tar‐
get. Use ADD_DEPENDENCIES to add dependencies to or from other
targets. If the ALL option is specified it indicates that this
target should be added to the default build target so that it
will be run every time (the command cannot be called ALL). The
command and arguments are optional and if not specified an empty
target will be created. If WORKING_DIRECTORY is set, then the
command will be run in that directory. If it is a relative path
it will be interpreted relative to the build tree directory cor‐
responding to the current source directory. If COMMENT is set,
the value will be displayed as a message before the commands are
executed at build time. Dependencies listed with the DEPENDS
argument may reference files and outputs of custom commands cre‐
ated with add_custom_command() in the same directory (CMake‐
Lists.txt file).
If VERBATIM is given then all arguments to the commands will be
escaped properly for the build tool so that the invoked command
receives each argument unchanged. Note that one level of
escapes is still used by the CMake language processor before
add_custom_target even sees the arguments. Use of VERBATIM is
recommended as it enables correct behavior. When VERBATIM is not
given the behavior is platform specific because there is no pro‐
tection of tool-specific special characters.
The SOURCES option specifies additional source files to be
included in the custom target. Specified source files will be
added to IDE project files for convenience in editing even if
they have not build rules.
add_definitions
Adds -D define flags to the compilation of source files.
add_definitions(-DFOO -DBAR ...)
Adds flags to the compiler command line for sources in the cur‐
rent directory and below. This command can be used to add any
flags, but it was originally intended to add preprocessor defi‐
nitions. Flags beginning in -D or /D that look like preproces‐
sor definitions are automatically added to the COMPILE_DEFINI‐
TIONS property for the current directory. Definitions with
non-trivial values may be left in the set of flags instead of
being converted for reasons of backwards compatibility. See
documentation of the directory, target, and source file COM‐
PILE_DEFINITIONS properties for details on adding preprocessor
definitions to specific scopes and configurations.
add_dependencies
Add a dependency between top-level targets.
add_dependencies(target-name depend-target1
depend-target2 ...)
Make a top-level target depend on other top-level targets. A
top-level target is one created by ADD_EXECUTABLE, ADD_LIBRARY,
or ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET. Adding dependencies with this command can
be used to make sure one target is built before another target.
Dependencies added to an IMPORTED target are followed transi‐
tively in its place since the target itself does not build. See
the DEPENDS option of ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET and ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND
for adding file-level dependencies in custom rules. See the
OBJECT_DEPENDS option in SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES to add
file-level dependencies to object files.
add_executable
Add an executable to the project using the specified source
files.
add_executable(<name> [WIN32] [MACOSX_BUNDLE]
[EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL]
source1 source2 ... sourceN)
Adds an executable target called <name> to be built from the
source files listed in the command invocation. The <name> cor‐
responds to the logical target name and must be globally unique
within a project. The actual file name of the executable built
is constructed based on conventions of the native platform (such
as <name>.exe or just <name>).
By default the executable file will be created in the build tree
directory corresponding to the source tree directory in which
the command was invoked. See documentation of the RUNTIME_OUT‐
PUT_DIRECTORY target property to change this location. See doc‐
umentation of the OUTPUT_NAME target property to change the
<name> part of the final file name.
If WIN32 is given the property WIN32_EXECUTABLE will be set on
the target created. See documentation of that target property
for details.
If MACOSX_BUNDLE is given the corresponding property will be set
on the created target. See documentation of the MACOSX_BUNDLE
target property for details.
If EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL is given the corresponding property will be
set on the created target. See documentation of the
EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL target property for details.
The add_executable command can also create IMPORTED executable
targets using this signature:
add_executable(<name> IMPORTED [GLOBAL])
An IMPORTED executable target references an executable file
located outside the project. No rules are generated to build
it. The target name has scope in the directory in which it is
created and below, but the GLOBAL option extends visibility. It
may be referenced like any target built within the project.
IMPORTED executables are useful for convenient reference from
commands like add_custom_command. Details about the imported
executable are specified by setting properties whose names begin
in "IMPORTED_". The most important such property is
IMPORTED_LOCATION (and its per-configuration version
IMPORTED_LOCATION_<CONFIG>) which specifies the location of the
main executable file on disk. See documentation of the
IMPORTED_* properties for more information.
The signature
add_executable(<name> ALIAS <target>)
creates an alias, such that <name> can be used to refer to <tar‐
get> in subsequent commands. The <name> does not appear in the
generated buildsystem as a make target. The <target> may not be
an IMPORTED target or an ALIAS. Alias targets can be used as
linkable targets, targets to read properties from, executables
for custom commands and custom targets. They can also be tested
for existance with the regular if(TARGET) subcommand. The
<name> may not be used to modify properties of <target>, that
is, it may not be used as the operand of set_property, set_tar‐
get_properties, target_link_libraries etc. An ALIAS target may
not be installed of exported.
add_library
Add a library to the project using the specified source files.
add_library(<name> [STATIC | SHARED | MODULE]
[EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL]
source1 source2 ... sourceN)
Adds a library target called <name> to be built from the source
files listed in the command invocation. The <name> corresponds
to the logical target name and must be globally unique within a
project. The actual file name of the library built is con‐
structed based on conventions of the native platform (such as
lib<name>.a or <name>.lib).
STATIC, SHARED, or MODULE may be given to specify the type of
library to be created. STATIC libraries are archives of object
files for use when linking other targets. SHARED libraries are
linked dynamically and loaded at runtime. MODULE libraries are
plugins that are not linked into other targets but may be loaded
dynamically at runtime using dlopen-like functionality. If no
type is given explicitly the type is STATIC or SHARED based on
whether the current value of the variable BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is
true. For SHARED and MODULE libraries the POSITION_INDEPEN‐
DENT_CODE target property is set to TRUE automatically.
By default the library file will be created in the build tree
directory corresponding to the source tree directory in which
the command was invoked. See documentation of the ARCHIVE_OUT‐
PUT_DIRECTORY, LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, and RUNTIME_OUT‐
PUT_DIRECTORY target properties to change this location. See
documentation of the OUTPUT_NAME target property to change the
<name> part of the final file name.
If EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL is given the corresponding property will be
set on the created target. See documentation of the
EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL target property for details.
The add_library command can also create IMPORTED library targets
using this signature:
add_library(<name> <SHARED|STATIC|MODULE|UNKNOWN> IMPORTED
[GLOBAL])
An IMPORTED library target references a library file located
outside the project. No rules are generated to build it. The
target name has scope in the directory in which it is created
and below, but the GLOBAL option extends visibility. It may be
referenced like any target built within the project. IMPORTED
libraries are useful for convenient reference from commands like
target_link_libraries. Details about the imported library are
specified by setting properties whose names begin in
"IMPORTED_". The most important such property is IMPORTED_LOCA‐
TION (and its per-configuration version IMPORTED_LOCATION_<CON‐
FIG>) which specifies the location of the main library file on
disk. See documentation of the IMPORTED_* properties for more
information.
The signature
add_library(<name> OBJECT <src>...)
creates a special "object library" target. An object library
compiles source files but does not archive or link their object
files into a library. Instead other targets created by
add_library or add_executable may reference the objects using an
expression of the form $<TARGET_OBJECTS:objlib> as a source,
where "objlib" is the object library name. For example:
add_library(... $<TARGET_OBJECTS:objlib> ...)
add_executable(... $<TARGET_OBJECTS:objlib> ...)
will include objlib's object files in a library and an exe‐
cutable along with those compiled from their own sources.
Object libraries may contain only sources (and headers) that
compile to object files. They may contain custom commands gen‐
erating such sources, but not PRE_BUILD, PRE_LINK, or POST_BUILD
commands. Object libraries cannot be imported, exported,
installed, or linked. Some native build systems may not like
targets that have only object files, so consider adding at least
one real source file to any target that references $<TAR‐
GET_OBJECTS:objlib>.
The signature
add_library(<name> ALIAS <target>)
creates an alias, such that <name> can be used to refer to <tar‐
get> in subsequent commands. The <name> does not appear in the
generated buildsystem as a make target. The <target> may not be
an IMPORTED target or an ALIAS. Alias targets can be used as
linkable targets, targets to read properties from. They can
also be tested for existance with the regular if(TARGET) subcom‐
mand. The <name> may not be used to modify properties of <tar‐
get>, that is, it may not be used as the operand of set_prop‐
erty, set_target_properties, target_link_libraries etc. An
ALIAS target may not be installed of exported.
add_subdirectory
Add a subdirectory to the build.
add_subdirectory(source_dir [binary_dir]
[EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL])
Add a subdirectory to the build. The source_dir specifies the
directory in which the source CMakeLists.txt and code files are
located. If it is a relative path it will be evaluated with
respect to the current directory (the typical usage), but it may
also be an absolute path. The binary_dir specifies the directory
in which to place the output files. If it is a relative path it
will be evaluated with respect to the current output directory,
but it may also be an absolute path. If binary_dir is not speci‐
fied, the value of source_dir, before expanding any relative
path, will be used (the typical usage). The CMakeLists.txt file
in the specified source directory will be processed immediately
by CMake before processing in the current input file continues
beyond this command.
If the EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL argument is provided then targets in the
subdirectory will not be included in the ALL target of the par‐
ent directory by default, and will be excluded from IDE project
files. Users must explicitly build targets in the subdirectory.
This is meant for use when the subdirectory contains a separate
part of the project that is useful but not necessary, such as a
set of examples. Typically the subdirectory should contain its
own project() command invocation so that a full build system
will be generated in the subdirectory (such as a VS IDE solution
file). Note that inter-target dependencies supercede this
exclusion. If a target built by the parent project depends on a
target in the subdirectory, the dependee target will be included
in the parent project build system to satisfy the dependency.
add_test
Add a test to the project with the specified arguments.
add_test(testname Exename arg1 arg2 ... )
If the ENABLE_TESTING command has been run, this command adds a
test target to the current directory. If ENABLE_TESTING has not
been run, this command does nothing. The tests are run by the
testing subsystem by executing Exename with the specified argu‐
ments. Exename can be either an executable built by this
project or an arbitrary executable on the system (like tclsh).
The test will be run with the current working directory set to
the CMakeList.txt files corresponding directory in the binary
tree.
add_test(NAME <name> [CONFIGURATIONS [Debug|Release|...]]
[WORKING_DIRECTORY dir]
COMMAND <command> [arg1 [arg2 ...]])
Add a test called <name>. The test name may not contain spaces,
quotes, or other characters special in CMake syntax. If COMMAND
specifies an executable target (created by add_executable) it
will automatically be replaced by the location of the executable
created at build time. If a CONFIGURATIONS option is given then
the test will be executed only when testing under one of the
named configurations. If a WORKING_DIRECTORY option is given
then the test will be executed in the given directory.
Arguments after COMMAND may use "generator expressions" with the
syntax "$<...>". Generator expressions are evaluated during
build system generation to produce information specific to each
build configuration. Valid expressions are:
$<0:...> = empty string (ignores "...")
$<1:...> = content of "..."
$<CONFIG:cfg> = '1' if config is "cfg", else '0'
$<CONFIGURATION> = configuration name
$<BOOL:...> = '1' if the '...' is true, else '0'
$<STREQUAL:a,b> = '1' if a is STREQUAL b, else '0'
$<ANGLE-R> = A literal '>'. Used to compare strings which contain a '>' for example.
$<COMMA> = A literal ','. Used to compare strings which contain a ',' for example.
$<SEMICOLON> = A literal ';'. Used to prevent list expansion on an argument with ';'.
$<JOIN:list,...> = joins the list with the content of "..."
$<TARGET_NAME:...> = Marks ... as being the name of a target. This is required if exporting targets to multiple dependent export sets. The '...' must be a literal name of a target- it may not contain generator expressions.
$<INSTALL_INTERFACE:...> = content of "..." when the property is exported using install(EXPORT), and empty otherwise.
$<BUILD_INTERFACE:...> = content of "..." when the property is exported using export(), or when the target is used by another target in the same buildsystem. Expands to the empty string otherwise.
$<C_COMPILER_ID> = The CMake-id of the C compiler used.
$<C_COMPILER_ID:comp> = '1' if the CMake-id of the C compiler matches comp, otherwise '0'.
$<CXX_COMPILER_ID> = The CMake-id of the CXX compiler used.
$<CXX_COMPILER_ID:comp> = '1' if the CMake-id of the CXX compiler matches comp, otherwise '0'.
$<VERSION_GREATER:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is a version greater than v2, else '0'.
$<VERSION_LESS:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is a version less than v2, else '0'.
$<VERSION_EQUAL:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is the same version as v2, else '0'.
$<C_COMPILER_VERSION> = The version of the C compiler used.
$<C_COMPILER_VERSION:ver> = '1' if the version of the C compiler matches ver, otherwise '0'.
$<CXX_COMPILER_VERSION> = The version of the CXX compiler used.
$<CXX_COMPILER_VERSION:ver> = '1' if the version of the CXX compiler matches ver, otherwise '0'.
$<TARGET_FILE:tgt> = main file (.exe, .so.1.2, .a)
$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE:tgt> = file used to link (.a, .lib, .so)
$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE:tgt> = file with soname (.so.3)
where "tgt" is the name of a target. Target file expressions
produce a full path, but _DIR and _NAME versions can produce the
directory and file name components:
$<TARGET_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:tgt,prop> = The value of the property prop on the target tgt.
Note that tgt is not added as a dependency of the target this
expression is evaluated on.
$<TARGET_POLICY:pol> = '1' if the policy was NEW when the 'head' target was created, else '0'. If the policy was not set, the warning message for the policy will be emitted. This generator expression only works for a subset of policies.
$<INSTALL_PREFIX> = Content of the install prefix when the target is exported via INSTALL(EXPORT) and empty otherwise.
Boolean expressions:
$<AND:?[,?]...> = '1' if all '?' are '1', else '0'
$<OR:?[,?]...> = '0' if all '?' are '0', else '1'
$<NOT:?> = '0' if '?' is '1', else '1'
where '?' is always either '0' or '1'.
Example usage:
add_test(NAME mytest
COMMAND testDriver --config $<CONFIGURATION>
--exe $<TARGET_FILE:myexe>)
This creates a test "mytest" whose command runs a testDriver
tool passing the configuration name and the full path to the
executable file produced by target "myexe".
aux_source_directory
Find all source files in a directory.
aux_source_directory(<dir> <variable>)
Collects the names of all the source files in the specified
directory and stores the list in the <variable> provided. This
command is intended to be used by projects that use explicit
template instantiation. Template instantiation files can be
stored in a "Templates" subdirectory and collected automatically
using this command to avoid manually listing all instantiations.
It is tempting to use this command to avoid writing the list of
source files for a library or executable target. While this
seems to work, there is no way for CMake to generate a build
system that knows when a new source file has been added. Nor‐
mally the generated build system knows when it needs to rerun
CMake because the CMakeLists.txt file is modified to add a new
source. When the source is just added to the directory without
modifying this file, one would have to manually rerun CMake to
generate a build system incorporating the new file.
break Break from an enclosing foreach or while loop.
break()
Breaks from an enclosing foreach loop or while loop
build_command
Get the command line to build this project.
build_command(<variable>
[CONFIGURATION <config>]
[PROJECT_NAME <projname>]
[TARGET <target>])
Sets the given <variable> to a string containing the command
line for building one configuration of a target in a project
using the build tool appropriate for the current CMAKE_GENERA‐
TOR.
If CONFIGURATION is omitted, CMake chooses a reasonable default
value for multi-configuration generators. CONFIGURATION is
ignored for single-configuration generators.
If PROJECT_NAME is omitted, the resulting command line will
build the top level PROJECT in the current build tree.
If TARGET is omitted, the resulting command line will build
everything, effectively using build target 'all' or 'ALL_BUILD'.
build_command(<cachevariable> <makecommand>)
This second signature is deprecated, but still available for
backwards compatibility. Use the first signature instead.
Sets the given <cachevariable> to a string containing the com‐
mand to build this project from the root of the build tree using
the build tool given by <makecommand>. <makecommand> should be
the full path to msdev, devenv, nmake, make or one of the end
user build tools.
cmake_host_system_information
Query host system specific information.
cmake_host_system_information(RESULT <variable> QUERY <key> ...)
Queries system information of the host system on which cmake
runs. One or more <key> can be provided to select the informa‐
tion to be queried. The list of queried values is stored in
<variable>.
<key> can be one of the following values:
NUMBER_OF_LOGICAL_CORES = Number of logical cores.
NUMBER_OF_PHYSICAL_CORES = Number of physical cores.
HOSTNAME = Hostname.
FQDN = Fully qualified domain name.
TOTAL_VIRTUAL_MEMORY = Total virtual memory in megabytes.
AVAILABLE_VIRTUAL_MEMORY = Available virtual memory in megabytes.
TOTAL_PHYSICAL_MEMORY = Total physical memory in megabytes.
AVAILABLE_PHYSICAL_MEMORY = Available physical memory in megabytes.
cmake_minimum_required
Set the minimum required version of cmake for a project.
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION major[.minor[.patch[.tweak]]]
[FATAL_ERROR])
If the current version of CMake is lower than that required it
will stop processing the project and report an error. When a
version higher than 2.4 is specified the command implicitly
invokes
cmake_policy(VERSION major[.minor[.patch[.tweak]]])
which sets the cmake policy version level to the version speci‐
fied. When version 2.4 or lower is given the command implicitly
invokes
cmake_policy(VERSION 2.4)
which enables compatibility features for CMake 2.4 and lower.
The FATAL_ERROR option is accepted but ignored by CMake 2.6 and
higher. It should be specified so CMake versions 2.4 and lower
fail with an error instead of just a warning.
cmake_policy
Manage CMake Policy settings.
As CMake evolves it is sometimes necessary to change existing
behavior in order to fix bugs or improve implementations of
existing features. The CMake Policy mechanism is designed to
help keep existing projects building as new versions of CMake
introduce changes in behavior. Each new policy (behavioral
change) is given an identifier of the form "CMP<NNNN>" where
"<NNNN>" is an integer index. Documentation associated with
each policy describes the OLD and NEW behavior and the reason
the policy was introduced. Projects may set each policy to
select the desired behavior. When CMake needs to know which
behavior to use it checks for a setting specified by the
project. If no setting is available the OLD behavior is assumed
and a warning is produced requesting that the policy be set.
The cmake_policy command is used to set policies to OLD or NEW
behavior. While setting policies individually is supported, we
encourage projects to set policies based on CMake versions.
cmake_policy(VERSION major.minor[.patch[.tweak]])
Specify that the current CMake list file is written for the
given version of CMake. All policies introduced in the speci‐
fied version or earlier will be set to use NEW behavior. All
policies introduced after the specified version will be unset
(unless variable CMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP<NNNN> sets a default).
This effectively requests behavior preferred as of a given CMake
version and tells newer CMake versions to warn about their new
policies. The policy version specified must be at least 2.4 or
the command will report an error. In order to get compatibility
features supporting versions earlier than 2.4 see documentation
of policy CMP0001.
cmake_policy(SET CMP<NNNN> NEW)
cmake_policy(SET CMP<NNNN> OLD)
Tell CMake to use the OLD or NEW behavior for a given policy.
Projects depending on the old behavior of a given policy may
silence a policy warning by setting the policy state to OLD.
Alternatively one may fix the project to work with the new
behavior and set the policy state to NEW.
cmake_policy(GET CMP<NNNN> <variable>)
Check whether a given policy is set to OLD or NEW behavior. The
output variable value will be "OLD" or "NEW" if the policy is
set, and empty otherwise.
CMake keeps policy settings on a stack, so changes made by the
cmake_policy command affect only the top of the stack. A new
entry on the policy stack is managed automatically for each sub‐
directory to protect its parents and siblings. CMake also man‐
ages a new entry for scripts loaded by include() and find_pack‐
age() commands except when invoked with the NO_POLICY_SCOPE
option (see also policy CMP0011). The cmake_policy command pro‐
vides an interface to manage custom entries on the policy stack:
cmake_policy(PUSH)cmake_policy(POP)
Each PUSH must have a matching POP to erase any changes. This
is useful to make temporary changes to policy settings.
Functions and macros record policy settings when they are cre‐
ated and use the pre-record policies when they are invoked. If
the function or macro implementation sets policies, the changes
automatically propagate up through callers until they reach the
closest nested policy stack entry.
configure_file
Copy a file to another location and modify its contents.
configure_file(<input> <output>
[COPYONLY] [ESCAPE_QUOTES] [@ONLY]
[NEWLINE_STYLE [UNIX|DOS|WIN32|LF|CRLF] ])
Copies a file <input> to file <output> and substitutes variable
values referenced in the file content. If <input> is a relative
path it is evaluated with respect to the current source direc‐
tory. The <input> must be a file, not a directory. If <output>
is a relative path it is evaluated with respect to the current
binary directory. If <output> names an existing directory the
input file is placed in that directory with its original name.
If the <input> file is modified the build system will re-run
CMake to re-configure the file and generate the build system
again.
This command replaces any variables in the input file referenced
as ${VAR} or @VAR@ with their values as determined by CMake. If
a variable is not defined, it will be replaced with nothing. If
COPYONLY is specified, then no variable expansion will take
place. If ESCAPE_QUOTES is specified then any substituted
quotes will be C-style escaped. The file will be configured
with the current values of CMake variables. If @ONLY is speci‐
fied, only variables of the form @VAR@ will be replaced and
${VAR} will be ignored. This is useful for configuring scripts
that use ${VAR}.
Input file lines of the form "#cmakedefine VAR ..." will be
replaced with either "#define VAR ..." or "/* #undef VAR */"
depending on whether VAR is set in CMake to any value not con‐
sidered a false constant by the if() command. (Content of "...",
if any, is processed as above.) Input file lines of the form
"#cmakedefine01 VAR" will be replaced with either "#define VAR
1" or "#define VAR 0" similarly.
With NEWLINE_STYLE the line ending could be adjusted:
'UNIX' or 'LF' for \n, 'DOS', 'WIN32' or 'CRLF' for \r\n.
COPYONLY must not be used with NEWLINE_STYLE.
create_test_sourcelist
Create a test driver and source list for building test programs.
create_test_sourcelist(sourceListName driverName
test1 test2 test3
EXTRA_INCLUDE include.h
FUNCTION function)
A test driver is a program that links together many small tests
into a single executable. This is useful when building static
executables with large libraries to shrink the total required
size. The list of source files needed to build the test driver
will be in sourceListName. DriverName is the name of the test
driver program. The rest of the arguments consist of a list of
test source files, can be semicolon separated. Each test source
file should have a function in it that is the same name as the
file with no extension (foo.cxx should have int foo(int,
char*[]);) DriverName will be able to call each of the tests by
name on the command line. If EXTRA_INCLUDE is specified, then
the next argument is included into the generated file. If FUNC‐
TION is specified, then the next argument is taken as a function
name that is passed a pointer to ac and av. This can be used to
add extra command line processing to each test. The cmake vari‐
able CMAKE_TESTDRIVER_BEFORE_TESTMAIN can be set to have code
that will be placed directly before calling the test main func‐
tion. CMAKE_TESTDRIVER_AFTER_TESTMAIN can be set to have code
that will be placed directly after the call to the test main
function.
define_property
Define and document custom properties.
define_property(<GLOBAL | DIRECTORY | TARGET | SOURCE |
TEST | VARIABLE | CACHED_VARIABLE>
PROPERTY <name> [INHERITED]
BRIEF_DOCS <brief-doc> [docs...]
FULL_DOCS <full-doc> [docs...])
Define one property in a scope for use with the set_property and
get_property commands. This is primarily useful to associate
documentation with property names that may be retrieved with the
get_property command. The first argument determines the kind of
scope in which the property should be used. It must be one of
the following:
GLOBAL = associated with the global namespace
DIRECTORY = associated with one directory
TARGET = associated with one target
SOURCE = associated with one source file
TEST = associated with a test named with add_test
VARIABLE = documents a CMake language variable
CACHED_VARIABLE = documents a CMake cache variable
Note that unlike set_property and get_property no actual scope
needs to be given; only the kind of scope is important.
The required PROPERTY option is immediately followed by the name
of the property being defined.
If the INHERITED option then the get_property command will chain
up to the next higher scope when the requested property is not
set in the scope given to the command. DIRECTORY scope chains
to GLOBAL. TARGET, SOURCE, and TEST chain to DIRECTORY.
The BRIEF_DOCS and FULL_DOCS options are followed by strings to
be associated with the property as its brief and full documenta‐
tion. Corresponding options to the get_property command will
retrieve the documentation.

elseif Starts the elseif portion of an if block.

enable_language
Enable a language (CXX/C/Fortran/etc)
enable_language(<lang> [OPTIONAL] )
This command enables support for the named language in CMake.
This is the same as the project command but does not create any
of the extra variables that are created by the project command.
Example languages are CXX, C, Fortran.
This command must be called in file scope, not in a function
call. Furthermore, it must be called in the highest directory
common to all targets using the named language directly for com‐
piling sources or indirectly through link dependencies. It is
simplest to enable all needed languages in the top-level direc‐
tory of a project.
The OPTIONAL keyword is a placeholder for future implementation
and does not currently work.
enable_testing
Enable testing for current directory and below.
enable_testing()
Enables testing for this directory and below. See also the
add_test command. Note that ctest expects to find a test file
in the build directory root. Therefore, this command should be
in the source directory root.
endforeach

execute_process
Execute one or more child processes.
execute_process(COMMAND <cmd1> [args1...]]
[COMMAND <cmd2> [args2...] [...]]
[WORKING_DIRECTORY <directory>]
[TIMEOUT <seconds>]
[RESULT_VARIABLE <variable>]
[OUTPUT_VARIABLE <variable>]

[OUTPUT_FILE <file>]
[ERROR_FILE <file>]
[OUTPUT_QUIET]
[ERROR_QUIET]
[OUTPUT_STRIP_TRAILING_WHITESPACE]
[ERROR_STRIP_TRAILING_WHITESPACE])
Runs the given sequence of one or more commands with the stan‐
dard output of each process piped to the standard input of the
next. A single standard error pipe is used for all processes.
If WORKING_DIRECTORY is given the named directory will be set as
the current working directory of the child processes. If TIME‐
OUT is given the child processes will be terminated if they do
not finish in the specified number of seconds (fractions are
allowed). If RESULT_VARIABLE is given the variable will be set
to contain the result of running the processes. This will be an
integer return code from the last child or a string describing
an error condition. If OUTPUT_VARIABLE or ERROR_VARIABLE are
given the variable named will be set with the contents of the
standard output and standard error pipes respectively. If the
same variable is named for both pipes their output will be
merged in the order produced. If INPUT_FILE, OUTPUT_FILE, or
ERROR_FILE is given the file named will be attached to the stan‐
dard input of the first process, standard output of the last
process, or standard error of all processes respectively. If
OUTPUT_QUIET or ERROR_QUIET is given then the standard output or
standard error results will be quietly ignored. If more than
one OUTPUT_* or ERROR_* option is given for the same pipe the
precedence is not specified. If no OUTPUT_* or ERROR_* options
are given the output will be shared with the corresponding pipes
of the CMake process itself.
The execute_process command is a newer more powerful version of
exec_program, but the old command has been kept for compatibil‐
ity.
export Export targets from the build tree for use by outside projects.
export(TARGETS [target1 [target2 [...]]] [NAMESPACE <namespace>]
[APPEND] FILE <filename> [EXPORT_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES])
Create a file <filename> that may be included by outside
projects to import targets from the current project's build
tree. This is useful during cross-compiling to build utility
executables that can run on the host platform in one project and
then import them into another project being compiled for the
target platform. If the NAMESPACE option is given the <names‐
pace> string will be prepended to all target names written to
the file. If the APPEND option is given the generated code will
be appended to the file instead of overwriting it. The
EXPORT_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES keyword, if present, causes the
contents of the properties matching (IMPORTED_)?LINK_INTER‐
FACE_LIBRARIES(_<CONFIG>)? to be exported, when policy CMP0022
is NEW. If a library target is included in the export but a
target to which it links is not included the behavior is unspec‐
ified.
The file created by this command is specific to the build tree
and should never be installed. See the install(EXPORT) command
to export targets from an installation tree.
Do not set properties that affect the location of a target after
passing it to this command. These include properties whose
names match "(RUNTIME|LIBRARY|ARCHIVE)_OUTPUT_(NAME|DIREC‐
TORY)(_<CONFIG>)?", "(IMPLIB_)?(PREFIX|SUFFIX)", or "LINKER_LAN‐
GUAGE". Failure to follow this rule is not diagnosed and leaves
the location of the target undefined.
export(PACKAGE <name>)
Store the current build directory in the CMake user package reg‐
istry for package <name>. The find_package command may consider
the directory while searching for package <name>. This helps
dependent projects find and use a package from the current
project's build tree without help from the user. Note that the
entry in the package registry that this command creates works
only in conjunction with a package configuration file
(<name>Config.cmake) that works with the build tree.

file(TIMESTAMP filename variable [<format string>] [UTC])
file(GENERATE OUTPUT output_file

[CONDITION expression])
WRITE will write a message into a file called 'filename'. It
overwrites the file if it already exists, and creates the file
if it does not exist. (If the file is a build input, use config‐
ure_file to update the file only when its content changes.)
APPEND will write a message into a file same as WRITE, except it
will append it to the end of the file
READ will read the content of a file and store it into the vari‐
able. It will start at the given offset and read up to numBytes.
If the argument HEX is given, the binary data will be converted
to hexadecimal representation and this will be stored in the
variable.
MD5, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, and SHA512 will compute a
cryptographic hash of the content of a file.
STRINGS will parse a list of ASCII strings from a file and store
it in a variable. Binary data in the file are ignored. Carriage
return (CR) characters are ignored. It works also for Intel Hex
and Motorola S-record files, which are automatically converted
to binary format when reading them. Disable this using
NO_HEX_CONVERSION.
LIMIT_COUNT sets the maximum number of strings to return.
LIMIT_INPUT sets the maximum number of bytes to read from the
input file. LIMIT_OUTPUT sets the maximum number of bytes to
store in the output variable. LENGTH_MINIMUM sets the minimum
length of a string to return. Shorter strings are ignored.
LENGTH_MAXIMUM sets the maximum length of a string to return.
Longer strings are split into strings no longer than the maximum
length. NEWLINE_CONSUME allows newlines to be included in
strings instead of terminating them.
REGEX specifies a regular expression that a string must match to
be returned. Typical usage
file(STRINGS myfile.txt myfile)
stores a list in the variable "myfile" in which each item is a
line from the input file.
GLOB will generate a list of all files that match the globbing
expressions and store it into the variable. Globbing expressions
are similar to regular expressions, but much simpler. If RELA‐
TIVE flag is specified for an expression, the results will be
returned as a relative path to the given path. (We do not rec‐
ommend using GLOB to collect a list of source files from your
source tree. If no CMakeLists.txt file changes when a source is
added or removed then the generated build system cannot know
when to ask CMake to regenerate.)
Examples of globbing expressions include:
*.cxx - match all files with extension cxx
*.vt? - match all files with extension vta,...,vtz
f[3-5].txt - match files f3.txt, f4.txt, f5.txt
GLOB_RECURSE will generate a list similar to the regular GLOB,
except it will traverse all the subdirectories of the matched
directory and match the files. Subdirectories that are symlinks
are only traversed if FOLLOW_SYMLINKS is given or cmake policy
CMP0009 is not set to NEW. See cmake --help-policy CMP0009 for
more information.
Examples of recursive globbing include:
/dir/*.py - match all python files in /dir and subdirectories
MAKE_DIRECTORY will create the given directories, also if their
parent directories don't exist yet
RENAME moves a file or directory within a filesystem, replacing
the destination atomically.
REMOVE will remove the given files, also in subdirectories
REMOVE_RECURSE will remove the given files and directories, also
non-empty directories
RELATIVE_PATH will determine relative path from directory to the
given file.
TO_CMAKE_PATH will convert path into a cmake style path with
unix /. The input can be a single path or a system path like
"$ENV{PATH}". Note the double quotes around the ENV call
TO_CMAKE_PATH only takes one argument. This command will also
convert the native list delimiters for a list of paths like the
PATH environment variable.
TO_NATIVE_PATH works just like TO_CMAKE_PATH, but will convert
from a cmake style path into the native path style \ for win‐
dows and / for UNIX.
DOWNLOAD will download the given URL to the given file. If LOG
var is specified a log of the download will be put in var. If
STATUS var is specified the status of the operation will be put
in var. The status is returned in a list of length 2. The first
element is the numeric return value for the operation, and the
second element is a string value for the error. A 0 numeric
error means no error in the operation. If TIMEOUT time is speci‐
fied, the operation will timeout after time seconds, time should
be specified as an integer. The INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT specifies an
integer number of seconds of inactivity after which the opera‐
tion should terminate. If EXPECTED_HASH ALGO=value is specified,
the operation will verify that the downloaded file's actual hash
matches the expected value, where ALGO is one of MD5, SHA1,
SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, or SHA512. If it does not match, the
operation fails with an error. ("EXPECTED_MD5 sum" is short-hand
for "EXPECTED_HASH MD5=sum".) If SHOW_PROGRESS is specified,
progress information will be printed as status messages until
the operation is complete. For https URLs CMake must be built
with OpenSSL. TLS/SSL certificates are not checked by default.
Set TLS_VERIFY to ON to check certificates and/or use
EXPECTED_HASH to verify downloaded content. Set TLS_CAINFO to
specify a custom Certificate Authority file. If either TLS
option is not given CMake will check variables CMAKE_TLS_VERIFY
and CMAKE_TLS_CAINFO, respectively.
UPLOAD will upload the given file to the given URL. If LOG var
is specified a log of the upload will be put in var. If STATUS
var is specified the status of the operation will be put in var.
The status is returned in a list of length 2. The first element
is the numeric return value for the operation, and the second
element is a string value for the error. A 0 numeric error means
no error in the operation. If TIMEOUT time is specified, the
operation will timeout after time seconds, time should be speci‐
fied as an integer. The INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT specifies an integer
number of seconds of inactivity after which the operation should
terminate. If SHOW_PROGRESS is specified, progress information
will be printed as status messages until the operation is com‐
plete.
TIMESTAMP will write a string representation of the modification
time of filename to variable.
Should the command be unable to obtain a timestamp variable will
be set to the empty string "".
See documentation of the string TIMESTAMP sub-command for more
details.
The file() command also provides COPY and INSTALL signatures:
file(<COPY|INSTALL> files... DESTINATION <dir>
[FILE_PERMISSIONS permissions...]
[DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS permissions...]
[NO_SOURCE_PERMISSIONS] [USE_SOURCE_PERMISSIONS]
[FILES_MATCHING]
[[PATTERN <pattern> | REGEX <regex>]
[EXCLUDE] [PERMISSIONS permissions...]] [...])
The COPY signature copies files, directories, and symlinks to a
destination folder. Relative input paths are evaluated with
respect to the current source directory, and a relative destina‐
tion is evaluated with respect to the current build directory.
Copying preserves input file timestamps, and optimizes out a
file if it exists at the destination with the same timestamp.
Copying preserves input permissions unless explicit permissions
or NO_SOURCE_PERMISSIONS are given (default is USE_SOURCE_PER‐
MISSIONS). See the install(DIRECTORY) command for documentation
of permissions, PATTERN, REGEX, and EXCLUDE options.
The INSTALL signature differs slightly from COPY: it prints sta‐
tus messages, and NO_SOURCE_PERMISSIONS is default. Installa‐
tion scripts generated by the install() command use this signa‐
ture (with some undocumented options for internal use).
GENERATE will write an <output_file> with content from an
<input_file>, or from <input_content>. The output is generated
conditionally based on the content of the <condition>. The file
is written at CMake generate-time and the input may contain gen‐
erator expressions. The <condition>, <output_file> and
<input_file> may also contain generator expressions. The <con‐
dition> must evaluate to either '0' or '1'. The <output_file>
must evaluate to a unique name among all configurations and
among all invocations of file(GENERATE).
find_file
Find the full path to a file.
find_file(<VAR> name1 [path1 path2 ...])
This is the short-hand signature for the command that is suffi‐
cient in many cases. It is the same as find_file(<VAR> name1
[PATHS path1 path2 ...])
find_file(
<VAR>
name | NAMES name1 [name2 ...]
[HINTS path1 [path2 ... ENV var]]
[PATHS path1 [path2 ... ENV var]]
[PATH_SUFFIXES suffix1 [suffix2 ...]]
[DOC "cache documentation string"]
[NO_DEFAULT_PATH]
[NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH]
[NO_CMAKE_PATH]
[NO_SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH]
[NO_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PATH]
[CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_BOTH |
ONLY_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH |
NO_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH]
)
This command is used to find a full path to named file. A cache
entry named by <VAR> is created to store the result of this com‐
mand. If the full path to a file is found the result is stored
in the variable and the search will not be repeated unless the
variable is cleared. If nothing is found, the result will be
<VAR>-NOTFOUND, and the search will be attempted again the next
time find_file is invoked with the same variable. The name of
the full path to a file that is searched for is specified by the
names listed after the NAMES argument. Additional search loca‐
tions can be specified after the PATHS argument. If ENV var is
found in the HINTS or PATHS section the environment variable var
will be read and converted from a system environment variable to
a cmake style list of paths. For example ENV PATH would be a
way to list the system path variable. The argument after DOC
will be used for the documentation string in the cache.
PATH_SUFFIXES specifies additional subdirectories to check below
each search path.
If NO_DEFAULT_PATH is specified, then no additional paths are
added to the search. If NO_DEFAULT_PATH is not specified, the
search process is as follows:
1. Search paths specified in cmake-specific cache variables.
These are intended to be used on the command line with a
-DVAR=value. This can be skipped if NO_CMAKE_PATH is passed.
<prefix>/include/<arch> if CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE is set, and
<prefix>/include for each <prefix> in CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH
CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH
2. Search paths specified in cmake-specific environment vari‐
ables. These are intended to be set in the user's shell config‐
uration. This can be skipped if NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH is
passed.
<prefix>/include/<arch> if CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE is set, and
<prefix>/include for each <prefix> in CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH
CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH
3. Search the paths specified by the HINTS option. These should
be paths computed by system introspection, such as a hint pro‐
vided by the location of another item already found. Hard-coded
guesses should be specified with the PATHS option.
4. Search the standard system environment variables. This can be
skipped if NO_SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH is an argument.
PATH
INCLUDE
5. Search cmake variables defined in the Platform files for the
current system. This can be skipped if NO_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PATH is
passed.
<prefix>/include/<arch> if CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE is set, and
<prefix>/include for each <prefix> in CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH
CMAKE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_PATH
CMAKE_SYSTEM_FRAMEWORK_PATH
6. Search the paths specified by the PATHS option or in the
short-hand version of the command. These are typically
hard-coded guesses.
On Darwin or systems supporting OS X Frameworks, the cmake vari‐
able CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK can be set to empty or one of the
following:
"FIRST" - Try to find frameworks before standard
libraries or headers. This is the default on Darwin.
"LAST" - Try to find frameworks after standard
libraries or headers.
"ONLY" - Only try to find frameworks.
"NEVER" - Never try to find frameworks.
On Darwin or systems supporting OS X Application Bundles, the
cmake variable CMAKE_FIND_APPBUNDLE can be set to empty or one
of the following:
"FIRST" - Try to find application bundles before standard
programs. This is the default on Darwin.
"LAST" - Try to find application bundles after standard
programs.
"ONLY" - Only try to find application bundles.
"NEVER" - Never try to find application bundles.
The CMake variable CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH specifies one or more
directories to be prepended to all other search directories.
This effectively "re-roots" the entire search under given loca‐
tions. By default it is empty. It is especially useful when
cross-compiling to point to the root directory of the target
environment and CMake will search there too. By default at first
the directories listed in CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH and then the
non-rooted directories will be searched. The default behavior
can be adjusted by setting CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE.
This behavior can be manually overridden on a per-call basis. By
using CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_BOTH the search order will be as
described above. If NO_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH is used then
CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH will not be used. If
ONLY_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH is used then only the re-rooted direc‐
tories will be searched.
The default search order is designed to be most-specific to
least-specific for common use cases. Projects may override the
order by simply calling the command multiple times and using the
NO_* options:
find_file(<VAR> NAMES name PATHS paths... NO_DEFAULT_PATH)
find_file(<VAR> NAMES name)
Once one of the calls succeeds the result variable will be set
and stored in the cache so that no call will search again.
find_library
Find a library.
find_library(<VAR> name1 [path1 path2 ...])
This is the short-hand signature for the command that is suffi‐
cient in many cases. It is the same as find_library(<VAR> name1
[PATHS path1 path2 ...])
find_library(
<VAR>
name | NAMES name1 [name2 ...] [NAMES_PER_DIR]
[HINTS path1 [path2 ... ENV var]]
[PATHS path1 [path2 ... ENV var]]
[PATH_SUFFIXES suffix1 [suffix2 ...]]
[DOC "cache documentation string"]
[NO_DEFAULT_PATH]
[NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH]
[NO_CMAKE_PATH]
[NO_SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH]
[NO_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PATH]
[CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_BOTH |
ONLY_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH |
NO_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH]
)
This command is used to find a library. A cache entry named by
<VAR> is created to store the result of this command. If the
library is found the result is stored in the variable and the
search will not be repeated unless the variable is cleared. If
nothing is found, the result will be <VAR>-NOTFOUND, and the
search will be attempted again the next time find_library is
invoked with the same variable. The name of the library that is
searched for is specified by the names listed after the NAMES
argument. Additional search locations can be specified after
the PATHS argument. If ENV var is found in the HINTS or PATHS
section the environment variable var will be read and converted
from a system environment variable to a cmake style list of
paths. For example ENV PATH would be a way to list the system
path variable. The argument after DOC will be used for the docu‐
mentation string in the cache. PATH_SUFFIXES specifies addi‐
tional subdirectories to check below each search path.
If NO_DEFAULT_PATH is specified, then no additional paths are
added to the search. If NO_DEFAULT_PATH is not specified, the
search process is as follows:
1. Search paths specified in cmake-specific cache variables.
These are intended to be used on the command line with a
-DVAR=value. This can be skipped if NO_CMAKE_PATH is passed.
<prefix>/lib/<arch> if CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE is set, and
<prefix>/lib for each <prefix> in CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH
CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH
2. Search paths specified in cmake-specific environment vari‐
ables. These are intended to be set in the user's shell config‐
uration. This can be skipped if NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH is
passed.
<prefix>/lib/<arch> if CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE is set, and
<prefix>/lib for each <prefix> in CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH
CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH
3. Search the paths specified by the HINTS option. These should
be paths computed by system introspection, such as a hint pro‐
vided by the location of another item already found. Hard-coded
guesses should be specified with the PATHS option.
4. Search the standard system environment variables. This can be
skipped if NO_SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH is an argument.
PATH
LIB
5. Search cmake variables defined in the Platform files for the
current system. This can be skipped if NO_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PATH is
passed.
<prefix>/lib/<arch> if CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE is set, and
<prefix>/lib for each <prefix> in CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH
CMAKE_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_PATH
CMAKE_SYSTEM_FRAMEWORK_PATH
6. Search the paths specified by the PATHS option or in the
short-hand version of the command. These are typically
hard-coded guesses.
On Darwin or systems supporting OS X Frameworks, the cmake vari‐
able CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK can be set to empty or one of the
following:
"FIRST" - Try to find frameworks before standard
libraries or headers. This is the default on Darwin.
"LAST" - Try to find frameworks after standard
libraries or headers.
"ONLY" - Only try to find frameworks.
"NEVER" - Never try to find frameworks.
On Darwin or systems supporting OS X Application Bundles, the
cmake variable CMAKE_FIND_APPBUNDLE can be set to empty or one
of the following:
"FIRST" - Try to find application bundles before standard
programs. This is the default on Darwin.
"LAST" - Try to find application bundles after standard
programs.
"ONLY" - Only try to find application bundles.
"NEVER" - Never try to find application bundles.
The CMake variable CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH specifies one or more
directories to be prepended to all other search directories.
This effectively "re-roots" the entire search under given loca‐
tions. By default it is empty. It is especially useful when
cross-compiling to point to the root directory of the target
environment and CMake will search there too. By default at first
the directories listed in CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH and then the
non-rooted directories will be searched. The default behavior
can be adjusted by setting CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY.
This behavior can be manually overridden on a per-call basis. By
using CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_BOTH the search order will be as
described above. If NO_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH is used then
CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH will not be used. If
ONLY_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH is used then only the re-rooted direc‐
tories will be searched.
The default search order is designed to be most-specific to
least-specific for common use cases. Projects may override the
order by simply calling the command multiple times and using the
NO_* options:
find_library(<VAR> NAMES name PATHS paths... NO_DEFAULT_PATH)
find_library(<VAR> NAMES name)
Once one of the calls succeeds the result variable will be set
and stored in the cache so that no call will search again.
When more than one value is given to the NAMES option this com‐
mand by default will consider one name at a time and search
every directory for it. The NAMES_PER_DIR option tells this
command to consider one directory at a time and search for all
names in it.
If the library found is a framework, then VAR will be set to the
full path to the framework <fullPath>/A.framework. When a full
path to a framework is used as a library, CMake will use a
-framework A, and a -F<fullPath> to link the framework to the
target.
If the global property FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB64_PATHS is set all
search paths will be tested as normal, with "64/" appended, and
with all matches of "lib/" replaced with "lib64/". This property
is automatically set for the platforms that are known to need it
if at least one of the languages supported by the PROJECT com‐
mand is enabled.
find_package
Load settings for an external project.
find_package(<package> [version] [EXACT] [QUIET] [MODULE]
[REQUIRED] [[COMPONENTS] [components...]]
[OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS components...]
[NO_POLICY_SCOPE])
Finds and loads settings from an external project. <pack‐
age>_FOUND will be set to indicate whether the package was
found. When the package is found package-specific information
is provided through variables and imported targets documented by
the package itself. The QUIET option disables messages if the
package cannot be found. The MODULE option disables the second
signature documented below. The REQUIRED option stops process‐
ing with an error message if the package cannot be found.
A package-specific list of required components may be listed
after the COMPONENTS option (or after the REQUIRED option if
present). Additional optional components may be listed after
OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS. Available components and their influence
on whether a package is considered to be found are defined by
the target package.
The [version] argument requests a version with which the package
found should be compatible (format is
major[.minor[.patch[.tweak]]]). The EXACT option requests that
the version be matched exactly. If no [version] and/or compo‐
nent list is given to a recursive invocation inside a find-mod‐
ule, the corresponding arguments are forwarded automatically
from the outer call (including the EXACT flag for [version]).
Version support is currently provided only on a package-by-pack‐
age basis (details below).
User code should generally look for packages using the above
simple signature. The remainder of this command documentation
specifies the full command signature and details of the search
process. Project maintainers wishing to provide a package to be
found by this command are encouraged to read on.
The command has two modes by which it searches for packages:
"Module" mode and "Config" mode. Module mode is available when
the command is invoked with the above reduced signature. CMake
searches for a file called "Find<package>.cmake" in the
CMAKE_MODULE_PATH followed by the CMake installation. If the
file is found, it is read and processed by CMake. It is respon‐
sible for finding the package, checking the version, and produc‐
ing any needed messages. Many find-modules provide limited or
no support for versioning; check the module documentation. If
no module is found and the MODULE option is not given the com‐
mand proceeds to Config mode.
The complete Config mode command signature is:
find_package(<package> [version] [EXACT] [QUIET]
[REQUIRED] [[COMPONENTS] [components...]]
[CONFIG|NO_MODULE]
[NO_POLICY_SCOPE]
[NAMES name1 [name2 ...]]
[CONFIGS config1 [config2 ...]]
[HINTS path1 [path2 ... ]]
[PATHS path1 [path2 ... ]]
[PATH_SUFFIXES suffix1 [suffix2 ...]]
[NO_DEFAULT_PATH]
[NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH]
[NO_CMAKE_PATH]
[NO_SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH]
[NO_CMAKE_PACKAGE_REGISTRY]
[NO_CMAKE_BUILDS_PATH]
[NO_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PATH]
[NO_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PACKAGE_REGISTRY]
[CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_BOTH |
ONLY_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH |
NO_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH])
The CONFIG option may be used to skip Module mode explicitly and
switch to Config mode. It is synonymous to using NO_MODULE.
Config mode is also implied by use of options not specified in
the reduced signature.
Config mode attempts to locate a configuration file provided by
the package to be found. A cache entry called <package>_DIR is
created to hold the directory containing the file. By default
the command searches for a package with the name <package>. If
the NAMES option is given the names following it are used
instead of <package>. The command searches for a file called
"<name>Config.cmake" or "<lower-case-name>-config.cmake" for
each name specified. A replacement set of possible configura‐
tion file names may be given using the CONFIGS option. The
search procedure is specified below. Once found, the configura‐
tion file is read and processed by CMake. Since the file is
provided by the package it already knows the location of package
contents. The full path to the configuration file is stored in
the cmake variable <package>_CONFIG.
All configuration files which have been considered by CMake
while searching for an installation of the package with an
appropriate version are stored in the cmake variable <pack‐
age>_CONSIDERED_CONFIGS, the associated versions in <pack‐
age>_CONSIDERED_VERSIONS.
If the package configuration file cannot be found CMake will
generate an error describing the problem unless the QUIET argu‐
ment is specified. If REQUIRED is specified and the package is
not found a fatal error is generated and the configure step
stops executing. If <package>_DIR has been set to a directory
not containing a configuration file CMake will ignore it and
search from scratch.
When the [version] argument is given Config mode will only find
a version of the package that claims compatibility with the
requested version (format is major[.minor[.patch[.tweak]]]). If
the EXACT option is given only a version of the package claiming
an exact match of the requested version may be found. CMake
does not establish any convention for the meaning of version
numbers. Package version numbers are checked by "version" files
provided by the packages themselves. For a candidate package
configuration file "<config-file>.cmake" the corresponding ver‐
sion file is located next to it and named either "<con‐
fig-file>-version.cmake" or "<config-file>Version.cmake". If no
such version file is available then the configuration file is
assumed to not be compatible with any requested version. A
basic version file containing generic version matching code can
be created using the macro write_basic_package_version_file(),
see its documentation for more details. When a version file is
found it is loaded to check the requested version number. The
version file is loaded in a nested scope in which the following
variables have been defined:
PACKAGE_FIND_NAME = the <package> name
PACKAGE_FIND_VERSION = full requested version string
PACKAGE_FIND_VERSION_MAJOR = major version if requested, else 0
PACKAGE_FIND_VERSION_MINOR = minor version if requested, else 0
PACKAGE_FIND_VERSION_PATCH = patch version if requested, else 0
PACKAGE_FIND_VERSION_TWEAK = tweak version if requested, else 0
PACKAGE_FIND_VERSION_COUNT = number of version components, 0 to 4
The version file checks whether it satisfies the requested ver‐
sion and sets these variables:
PACKAGE_VERSION = full provided version string
PACKAGE_VERSION_EXACT = true if version is exact match
PACKAGE_VERSION_COMPATIBLE = true if version is compatible
PACKAGE_VERSION_UNSUITABLE = true if unsuitable as any version
These variables are checked by the find_package command to
determine whether the configuration file provides an acceptable
version. They are not available after the find_package call
returns. If the version is acceptable the following variables
are set:
<package>_VERSION = full provided version string
<package>_VERSION_MAJOR = major version if provided, else 0
<package>_VERSION_MINOR = minor version if provided, else 0
<package>_VERSION_PATCH = patch version if provided, else 0
<package>_VERSION_TWEAK = tweak version if provided, else 0
<package>_VERSION_COUNT = number of version components, 0 to 4
and the corresponding package configuration file is loaded.
When multiple package configuration files are available whose
version files claim compatibility with the version requested it
is unspecified which one is chosen. No attempt is made to
choose a highest or closest version number.
Config mode provides an elaborate interface and search proce‐
dure. Much of the interface is provided for completeness and
for use internally by find-modules loaded by Module mode. Most
user code should simply call
find_package(<package> [major[.minor]] [EXACT] [REQUIRED|QUIET])
in order to find a package. Package maintainers providing CMake
package configuration files are encouraged to name and install
them such that the procedure outlined below will find them with‐
out requiring use of additional options.
CMake constructs a set of possible installation prefixes for the
package. Under each prefix several directories are searched for
a configuration file. The tables below show the directories
searched. Each entry is meant for installation trees following
Windows (W), UNIX (U), or Apple (A) conventions.
<prefix>/ (W)
<prefix>/(cmake|CMake)/ (W)
<prefix>/<name>*/ (W)
<prefix>/<name>*/(cmake|CMake)/ (W)
<prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib|share)/cmake/<name>*/ (U)
<prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib|share)/<name>*/ (U)
<prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib|share)/<name>*/(cmake|CMake)/ (U)
On systems supporting OS X Frameworks and Application Bundles
the following directories are searched for frameworks or bundles
containing a configuration file:
<prefix>/<name>.framework/Resources/ (A)
<prefix>/<name>.framework/Resources/CMake/ (A)
<prefix>/<name>.framework/Versions/*/Resources/ (A)
<prefix>/<name>.framework/Versions/*/Resources/CMake/ (A)
<prefix>/<name>.app/Contents/Resources/ (A)
<prefix>/<name>.app/Contents/Resources/CMake/ (A)
In all cases the <name> is treated as case-insensitive and cor‐
responds to any of the names specified (<package> or names given
by NAMES). Paths with lib/<arch> are enabled if
CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE is set. If PATH_SUFFIXES is speci‐
fied the suffixes are appended to each (W) or (U) directory
entry one-by-one.
This set of directories is intended to work in cooperation with
projects that provide configuration files in their installation
trees. Directories above marked with (W) are intended for
installations on Windows where the prefix may point at the top
of an application's installation directory. Those marked with
(U) are intended for installations on UNIX platforms where the
prefix is shared by multiple packages. This is merely a conven‐
tion, so all (W) and (U) directories are still searched on all
platforms. Directories marked with (A) are intended for instal‐
lations on Apple platforms. The cmake variables
CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK and CMAKE_FIND_APPBUNDLE determine the
order of preference as specified below.
The set of installation prefixes is constructed using the fol‐
lowing steps. If NO_DEFAULT_PATH is specified all NO_* options
are enabled.
1. Search paths specified in cmake-specific cache variables.
These are intended to be used on the command line with a
-DVAR=value. This can be skipped if NO_CMAKE_PATH is passed.
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH
CMAKE_APPBUNDLE_PATH
2. Search paths specified in cmake-specific environment vari‐
ables. These are intended to be set in the user's shell config‐
uration. This can be skipped if NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH is
passed.
<package>_DIR
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH
CMAKE_APPBUNDLE_PATH
3. Search paths specified by the HINTS option. These should be
paths computed by system introspection, such as a hint provided
by the location of another item already found. Hard-coded
guesses should be specified with the PATHS option.
4. Search the standard system environment variables. This can be
skipped if NO_SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH is passed. Path entries
ending in "/bin" or "/sbin" are automatically converted to their
parent directories.
PATH
5. Search project build trees recently configured in a CMake
GUI. This can be skipped if NO_CMAKE_BUILDS_PATH is passed. It
is intended for the case when a user is building multiple depen‐
dent projects one after another.
6. Search paths stored in the CMake user package registry. This
can be skipped if NO_CMAKE_PACKAGE_REGISTRY is passed. On Win‐
dows a <package> may appear under registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Kitware\CMake\Packages\<package>
as a REG_SZ value, with arbitrary name, that specifies the
directory containing the package configuration file. On UNIX
platforms a <package> may appear under the directory
~/.cmake/packages/<package>
as a file, with arbitrary name, whose content specifies the
directory containing the package configuration file. See the
export(PACKAGE) command to create user package registry entries
for project build trees.
7. Search cmake variables defined in the Platform files for the
current system. This can be skipped if NO_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PATH is
passed.
CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH
CMAKE_SYSTEM_FRAMEWORK_PATH
CMAKE_SYSTEM_APPBUNDLE_PATH
8. Search paths stored in the CMake system package registry.
This can be skipped if NO_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PACKAGE_REGISTRY is
passed. On Windows a <package> may appear under registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Kitware\CMake\Packages\<package>
as a REG_SZ value, with arbitrary name, that specifies the
directory containing the package configuration file. There is
no system package registry on non-Windows platforms.
9. Search paths specified by the PATHS option. These are typi‐
cally hard-coded guesses.
On Darwin or systems supporting OS X Frameworks, the cmake vari‐
able CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK can be set to empty or one of the
following:
"FIRST" - Try to find frameworks before standard
libraries or headers. This is the default on Darwin.
"LAST" - Try to find frameworks after standard
libraries or headers.
"ONLY" - Only try to find frameworks.
"NEVER" - Never try to find frameworks.
On Darwin or systems supporting OS X Application Bundles, the
cmake variable CMAKE_FIND_APPBUNDLE can be set to empty or one
of the following:
"FIRST" - Try to find application bundles before standard
programs. This is the default on Darwin.
"LAST" - Try to find application bundles after standard
programs.
"ONLY" - Only try to find application bundles.
"NEVER" - Never try to find application bundles.
The CMake variable CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH specifies one or more
directories to be prepended to all other search directories.
This effectively "re-roots" the entire search under given loca‐
tions. By default it is empty. It is especially useful when
cross-compiling to point to the root directory of the target
environment and CMake will search there too. By default at first
the directories listed in CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH and then the
non-rooted directories will be searched. The default behavior
can be adjusted by setting CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PACKAGE.
This behavior can be manually overridden on a per-call basis. By
using CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_BOTH the search order will be as
described above. If NO_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH is used then
CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH will not be used. If
ONLY_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH is used then only the re-rooted direc‐
tories will be searched.
The default search order is designed to be most-specific to
least-specific for common use cases. Projects may override the
order by simply calling the command multiple times and using the
NO_* options:
find_package(<package> PATHS paths... NO_DEFAULT_PATH)
find_package(<package>)
Once one of the calls succeeds the result variable will be set
and stored in the cache so that no call will search again.
Every non-REQUIRED find_package() call can be disabled by set‐
ting the variable CMAKE_DISABLE_FIND_PACKAGE_<package> to TRUE.
See the documentation for the CMAKE_DISABLE_FIND_PACKAGE_<pack‐
age> variable for more information.
When loading a find module or package configuration file
find_package defines variables to provide information about the
call arguments (and restores their original state before return‐
ing):
<package>_FIND_REQUIRED = true if REQUIRED option was given
<package>_FIND_QUIETLY = true if QUIET option was given
<package>_FIND_VERSION = full requested version string
<package>_FIND_VERSION_MAJOR = major version if requested, else 0
<package>_FIND_VERSION_MINOR = minor version if requested, else 0
<package>_FIND_VERSION_PATCH = patch version if requested, else 0
<package>_FIND_VERSION_TWEAK = tweak version if requested, else 0
<package>_FIND_VERSION_COUNT = number of version components, 0 to 4
<package>_FIND_VERSION_EXACT = true if EXACT option was given
<package>_FIND_COMPONENTS = list of requested components
<package>_FIND_REQUIRED_<c> = true if component <c> is required
false if component <c> is optional
In Module mode the loaded find module is responsible to honor
the request detailed by these variables; see the find module for
details. In Config mode find_package handles REQUIRED, QUIET,
and version options automatically but leaves it to the package
configuration file to handle components in a way that makes
sense for the package. The package configuration file may set
<package>_FOUND to false to tell find_package that component
requirements are not satisfied.
See the cmake_policy() command documentation for discussion of
the NO_POLICY_SCOPE option.
find_path
Find the directory containing a file.
find_path(<VAR> name1 [path1 path2 ...])
This is the short-hand signature for the command that is suffi‐
cient in many cases. It is the same as find_path(<VAR> name1

)
This command is used to find a directory containing the named
file. A cache entry named by <VAR> is created to store the
result of this command. If the file in a directory is found the
result is stored in the variable and the search will not be
repeated unless the variable is cleared. If nothing is found,
the result will be <VAR>-NOTFOUND, and the search will be
attempted again the next time find_path is invoked with the same
variable. The name of the file in a directory that is searched
for is specified by the names listed after the NAMES argument.
Additional search locations can be specified after the PATHS
argument. If ENV var is found in the HINTS or PATHS section the
environment variable var will be read and converted from a sys‐
tem environment variable to a cmake style list of paths. For
example ENV PATH would be a way to list the system path vari‐
able. The argument after DOC will be used for the documentation
string in the cache. PATH_SUFFIXES specifies additional subdi‐
rectories to check below each search path.
If NO_DEFAULT_PATH is specified, then no additional paths are
added to the search. If NO_DEFAULT_PATH is not specified, the
search process is as follows:
1. Search paths specified in cmake-specific cache variables.
These are intended to be used on the command line with a
-DVAR=value. This can be skipped if NO_CMAKE_PATH is passed.
<prefix>/include/<arch> if CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE is set, and
<prefix>/include for each <prefix> in CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH
CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH
2. Search paths specified in cmake-specific environment vari‐
ables. These are intended to be set in the user's shell config‐
uration. This can be skipped if NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH is
passed.
<prefix>/include/<arch> if CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE is set, and
<prefix>/include for each <prefix> in CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH
CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH
3. Search the paths specified by the HINTS option. These should
be paths computed by system introspection, such as a hint pro‐
vided by the location of another item already found. Hard-coded
guesses should be specified with the PATHS option.
4. Search the standard system environment variables. This can be
skipped if NO_SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH is an argument.
PATH
INCLUDE
5. Search cmake variables defined in the Platform files for the
current system. This can be skipped if NO_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PATH is
passed.
<prefix>/include/<arch> if CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE is set, and
<prefix>/include for each <prefix> in CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH
CMAKE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_PATH
CMAKE_SYSTEM_FRAMEWORK_PATH
6. Search the paths specified by the PATHS option or in the
short-hand version of the command. These are typically
hard-coded guesses.
On Darwin or systems supporting OS X Frameworks, the cmake vari‐
able CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK can be set to empty or one of the
following:
"FIRST" - Try to find frameworks before standard
libraries or headers. This is the default on Darwin.
"LAST" - Try to find frameworks after standard
libraries or headers.
"ONLY" - Only try to find frameworks.
"NEVER" - Never try to find frameworks.
On Darwin or systems supporting OS X Application Bundles, the
cmake variable CMAKE_FIND_APPBUNDLE can be set to empty or one
of the following:
"FIRST" - Try to find application bundles before standard
programs. This is the default on Darwin.
"LAST" - Try to find application bundles after standard
programs.
"ONLY" - Only try to find application bundles.
"NEVER" - Never try to find application bundles.
The CMake variable CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH specifies one or more
directories to be prepended to all other search directories.
This effectively "re-roots" the entire search under given loca‐
tions. By default it is empty. It is especially useful when
cross-compiling to point to the root directory of the target
environment and CMake will search there too. By default at first
the directories listed in CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH and then the
non-rooted directories will be searched. The default behavior
can be adjusted by setting CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE.
This behavior can be manually overridden on a per-call basis. By
using CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_BOTH the search order will be as
described above. If NO_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH is used then
CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH will not be used. If
ONLY_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH is used then only the re-rooted direc‐
tories will be searched.
The default search order is designed to be most-specific to
least-specific for common use cases. Projects may override the
order by simply calling the command multiple times and using the
NO_* options:
find_path(<VAR> NAMES name PATHS paths... NO_DEFAULT_PATH)
find_path(<VAR> NAMES name)
Once one of the calls succeeds the result variable will be set
and stored in the cache so that no call will search again.
When searching for frameworks, if the file is specified as
A/b.h, then the framework search will look for A.framework/Head‐
ers/b.h. If that is found the path will be set to the path to
the framework. CMake will convert this to the correct -F option
to include the file.
find_program
Find an executable program.
find_program(<VAR> name1 [path1 path2 ...])
This is the short-hand signature for the command that is suffi‐
cient in many cases. It is the same as find_program(<VAR> name1
[PATHS path1 path2 ...])
find_program(
<VAR>
name | NAMES name1 [name2 ...]
[HINTS path1 [path2 ... ENV var]]
[PATHS path1 [path2 ... ENV var]]
[PATH_SUFFIXES suffix1 [suffix2 ...]]
[DOC "cache documentation string"]
[NO_DEFAULT_PATH]
[NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH]
[NO_CMAKE_PATH]
[NO_SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH]
[NO_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PATH]
[CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_BOTH |
ONLY_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH |
NO_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH]
)
This command is used to find a program. A cache entry named by
<VAR> is created to store the result of this command. If the
program is found the result is stored in the variable and the
search will not be repeated unless the variable is cleared. If
nothing is found, the result will be <VAR>-NOTFOUND, and the
search will be attempted again the next time find_program is
invoked with the same variable. The name of the program that is
searched for is specified by the names listed after the NAMES
argument. Additional search locations can be specified after
the PATHS argument. If ENV var is found in the HINTS or PATHS
section the environment variable var will be read and converted
from a system environment variable to a cmake style list of
paths. For example ENV PATH would be a way to list the system
path variable. The argument after DOC will be used for the docu‐
mentation string in the cache. PATH_SUFFIXES specifies addi‐
tional subdirectories to check below each search path.
If NO_DEFAULT_PATH is specified, then no additional paths are
added to the search. If NO_DEFAULT_PATH is not specified, the
search process is as follows:
1. Search paths specified in cmake-specific cache variables.
These are intended to be used on the command line with a
-DVAR=value. This can be skipped if NO_CMAKE_PATH is passed.
<prefix>/[s]bin for each <prefix> in CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
CMAKE_PROGRAM_PATH
CMAKE_APPBUNDLE_PATH
2. Search paths specified in cmake-specific environment vari‐
ables. These are intended to be set in the user's shell config‐
uration. This can be skipped if NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH is
passed.
<prefix>/[s]bin for each <prefix> in CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
CMAKE_PROGRAM_PATH
CMAKE_APPBUNDLE_PATH
3. Search the paths specified by the HINTS option. These should
be paths computed by system introspection, such as a hint pro‐
vided by the location of another item already found. Hard-coded
guesses should be specified with the PATHS option.
4. Search the standard system environment variables. This can be
skipped if NO_SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH is an argument.
PATH
5. Search cmake variables defined in the Platform files for the
current system. This can be skipped if NO_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PATH is
passed.
<prefix>/[s]bin for each <prefix> in CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH
CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROGRAM_PATH
CMAKE_SYSTEM_APPBUNDLE_PATH
6. Search the paths specified by the PATHS option or in the
short-hand version of the command. These are typically
hard-coded guesses.
On Darwin or systems supporting OS X Frameworks, the cmake vari‐
able CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK can be set to empty or one of the
following:
"FIRST" - Try to find frameworks before standard
libraries or headers. This is the default on Darwin.
"LAST" - Try to find frameworks after standard
libraries or headers.
"ONLY" - Only try to find frameworks.
"NEVER" - Never try to find frameworks.
On Darwin or systems supporting OS X Application Bundles, the
cmake variable CMAKE_FIND_APPBUNDLE can be set to empty or one
of the following:
"FIRST" - Try to find application bundles before standard
programs. This is the default on Darwin.
"LAST" - Try to find application bundles after standard
programs.
"ONLY" - Only try to find application bundles.
"NEVER" - Never try to find application bundles.
The CMake variable CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH specifies one or more
directories to be prepended to all other search directories.
This effectively "re-roots" the entire search under given loca‐
tions. By default it is empty. It is especially useful when
cross-compiling to point to the root directory of the target
environment and CMake will search there too. By default at first
the directories listed in CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH and then the

least-specific for common use cases. Projects may override the
order by simply calling the command multiple times and using the

find_program(<VAR> NAMES name)
Once one of the calls succeeds the result variable will be set
and stored in the cache so that no call will search again.
fltk_wrap_ui
Create FLTK user interfaces Wrappers.
fltk_wrap_ui(resultingLibraryName source1
source2 ... sourceN )
Produce .h and .cxx files for all the .fl and .fld files listed.
The resulting .h and .cxx files will be added to a variable
named resultingLibraryName_FLTK_UI_SRCS which should be added to
your library.
foreach
Evaluate a group of commands for each value in a list.
foreach(loop_var arg1 arg2 ...)
COMMAND1(ARGS ...)
COMMAND2(ARGS ...)
...
endforeach(loop_var)
All commands between foreach and the matching endforeach are
recorded without being invoked. Once the endforeach is evalu‐
ated, the recorded list of commands is invoked once for each
argument listed in the original foreach command. Before each
iteration of the loop "${loop_var}" will be set as a variable
with the current value in the list.
foreach(loop_var RANGE total)
foreach(loop_var RANGE start stop [step])
Foreach can also iterate over a generated range of numbers.
There are three types of this iteration:
* When specifying single number, the range will have elements 0
to "total".
* When specifying two numbers, the range will have elements from
the first number to the second number.
* The third optional number is the increment used to iterate
from the first number to the second number.
foreach(loop_var IN [LISTS [list1 [...]]]
[ITEMS [item1 [...]]])
Iterates over a precise list of items. The LISTS option names
list-valued variables to be traversed, including empty elements
(an empty string is a zero-length list). The ITEMS option ends
argument parsing and includes all arguments following it in the
iteration.
function
Start recording a function for later invocation as a command.
function(<name> [arg1 [arg2 [arg3 ...]]])
COMMAND1(ARGS ...)
COMMAND2(ARGS ...)
...
endfunction(<name>)
Define a function named <name> that takes arguments named arg1
arg2 arg3 (...). Commands listed after function, but before the
matching endfunction, are not invoked until the function is
invoked. When it is invoked, the commands recorded in the func‐
tion are first modified by replacing formal parameters (${arg1})
with the arguments passed, and then invoked as normal commands.
In addition to referencing the formal parameters you can refer‐
ence the variable ARGC which will be set to the number of argu‐
ments passed into the function as well as ARGV0 ARGV1 ARGV2 ...
which will have the actual values of the arguments passed in.
This facilitates creating functions with optional arguments.
Additionally ARGV holds the list of all arguments given to the
function and ARGN holds the list of arguments past the last
expected argument.
A function opens a new scope: see set(var PARENT_SCOPE) for
details.
See the cmake_policy() command documentation for the behavior of
policies inside functions.
get_cmake_property
Get a property of the CMake instance.
get_cmake_property(VAR property)
Get a property from the CMake instance. The value of the prop‐
erty is stored in the variable VAR. If the property is not
found, VAR will be set to "NOTFOUND". Some supported properties
include: VARIABLES, CACHE_VARIABLES, COMMANDS, MACROS, and COM‐
PONENTS.
See also the more general get_property() command.
get_directory_property
Get a property of DIRECTORY scope.
get_directory_property(<variable> [DIRECTORY <dir>] <prop-name>)
Store a property of directory scope in the named variable. If
the property is not defined the empty-string is returned. The
DIRECTORY argument specifies another directory from which to
retrieve the property value. The specified directory must have
already been traversed by CMake.
get_directory_property(<variable> [DIRECTORY <dir>]
DEFINITION <var-name>)
Get a variable definition from a directory. This form is useful
to get a variable definition from another directory.
See also the more general get_property() command.
get_filename_component
Get a specific component of a full filename.
get_filename_component(<VAR> <FileName> <COMP> [CACHE])
Set <VAR> to a component of <FileName>, where <COMP> is one of:
DIRECTORY = Directory without file name
NAME = File name without directory
EXT = File name longest extension (.b.c from d/a.b.c)
NAME_WE = File name without directory or longest extension
ABSOLUTE = Full path to file
REALPATH = Full path to existing file with symlinks resolved
PATH = Legacy alias for DIRECTORY (use for CMake <= 2.8.11)
Paths are returned with forward slashes and have no trailing
slahes. The longest file extension is always considered. If the
optional CACHE argument is specified, the result variable is
added to the cache.
get_filename_component(<VAR> FileName
PROGRAM [PROGRAM_ARGS <ARG_VAR>]
[CACHE])
The program in FileName will be found in the system search path
or left as a full path. If PROGRAM_ARGS is present with PRO‐
GRAM, then any command-line arguments present in the FileName
string are split from the program name and stored in <ARG_VAR>.
This is used to separate a program name from its arguments in a
command line string.
get_property
Get a property.
get_property(<variable>
<GLOBAL |
DIRECTORY [dir] |
TARGET <target> |
SOURCE <source> |
TEST <test> |
CACHE <entry> |
VARIABLE>
PROPERTY <name>
[SET | DEFINED | BRIEF_DOCS | FULL_DOCS])
Get one property from one object in a scope. The first argument
specifies the variable in which to store the result. The second
argument determines the scope from which to get the property.
It must be one of the following:
GLOBAL scope is unique and does not accept a name.
DIRECTORY scope defaults to the current directory but another
directory (already processed by CMake) may be named by full or
relative path.
TARGET scope must name one existing target.
SOURCE scope must name one source file.
TEST scope must name one existing test.
CACHE scope must name one cache entry.
VARIABLE scope is unique and does not accept a name.
The required PROPERTY option is immediately followed by the name
of the property to get. If the property is not set an empty
value is returned. If the SET option is given the variable is
set to a boolean value indicating whether the property has been
set. If the DEFINED option is given the variable is set to a
boolean value indicating whether the property has been defined
such as with define_property. If BRIEF_DOCS or FULL_DOCS is
given then the variable is set to a string containing documenta‐
tion for the requested property. If documentation is requested
for a property that has not been defined NOTFOUND is returned.
get_source_file_property
Get a property for a source file.
get_source_file_property(VAR file property)
Get a property from a source file. The value of the property is
stored in the variable VAR. If the property is not found, VAR
will be set to "NOTFOUND". Use set_source_files_properties to
set property values. Source file properties usually control how
the file is built. One property that is always there is LOCATION
See also the more general get_property() command.
get_target_property
Get a property from a target.
get_target_property(VAR target property)
Get a property from a target. The value of the property is
stored in the variable VAR. If the property is not found, VAR
will be set to "NOTFOUND". Use set_target_properties to set
property values. Properties are usually used to control how a
target is built, but some query the target instead. This com‐
mand can get properties for any target so far created. The tar‐
gets do not need to be in the current CMakeLists.txt file.
See also the more general get_property() command.
get_test_property
Get a property of the test.
get_test_property(test property VAR)
Get a property from the Test. The value of the property is
stored in the variable VAR. If the property is not found, VAR
will be set to "NOTFOUND". For a list of standard properties you
can type cmake --help-property-list
See also the more general get_property() command.
if Conditionally execute a group of commands.
if(expression)

elseif(expression2)
# elseif section.
COMMAND1(ARGS ...)
COMMAND2(ARGS ...)
...
else(expression)
# else section.
COMMAND1(ARGS ...)
COMMAND2(ARGS ...)
...
endif(expression)
Evaluates the given expression. If the result is true, the com‐
mands in the THEN section are invoked. Otherwise, the commands
in the else section are invoked. The elseif and else sections
are optional. You may have multiple elseif clauses. Note that
the expression in the else and endif clause is optional. Long
expressions can be used and there is a traditional order of
precedence. Parenthetical expressions are evaluated first fol‐
lowed by unary operators such as EXISTS, COMMAND, and DEFINED.
Then any EQUAL, LESS, GREATER, STRLESS, STRGREATER, STREQUAL,
MATCHES will be evaluated. Then NOT operators and finally AND,
OR operators will be evaluated. Possible expressions are:
if(<constant>)
True if the constant is 1, ON, YES, TRUE, Y, or a non-zero num‐
ber. False if the constant is 0, OFF, NO, FALSE, N, IGNORE,
NOTFOUND, '', or ends in the suffix '-NOTFOUND'. Named boolean
constants are case-insensitive. If the argument is not one of
these constants, it is treated as a variable:
if(<variable>)
True if the variable is defined to a value that is not a false
constant. False otherwise. (Note macro arguments are not vari‐
ables.)
if(NOT <expression>)
True if the expression is not true.
if(<expr1> AND <expr2>)
True if both expressions would be considered true individually.
if(<expr1> OR <expr2>)
True if either expression would be considered true individually.
if(COMMAND command-name)
True if the given name is a command, macro or function that can
be invoked.
if(POLICY policy-id)
True if the given name is an existing policy (of the form
CMP<NNNN>).
if(TARGET target-name)
True if the given name is an existing target, built or imported.
if(EXISTS file-name)
if(EXISTS directory-name)
True if the named file or directory exists. Behavior is
well-defined only for full paths.
if(file1 IS_NEWER_THAN file2)
True if file1 is newer than file2 or if one of the two files
doesn't exist. Behavior is well-defined only for full paths. If
the file time stamps are exactly the same, an IS_NEWER_THAN com‐
parison returns true, so that any dependent build operations
will occur in the event of a tie. This includes the case of
passing the same file name for both file1 and file2.
if(IS_DIRECTORY directory-name)
True if the given name is a directory. Behavior is well-defined
only for full paths.
if(IS_SYMLINK file-name)
True if the given name is a symbolic link. Behavior is
well-defined only for full paths.
if(IS_ABSOLUTE path)
True if the given path is an absolute path.
if(<variable|string> MATCHES regex)
True if the given string or variable's value matches the given
regular expression.
if(<variable|string> LESS <variable|string>)
if(<variable|string> GREATER <variable|string>)
if(<variable|string> EQUAL <variable|string>)
True if the given string or variable's value is a valid number
and the inequality or equality is true.
if(<variable|string> STRLESS <variable|string>)
if(<variable|string> STRGREATER <variable|string>)
if(<variable|string> STREQUAL <variable|string>)
True if the given string or variable's value is lexicographi‐
cally less (or greater, or equal) than the string or variable on
the right.
if(<variable|string> VERSION_LESS <variable|string>)
if(<variable|string> VERSION_EQUAL <variable|string>)
if(<variable|string> VERSION_GREATER <variable|string>)
Component-wise integer version number comparison (version format
is major[.minor[.patch[.tweak]]]).
if(DEFINED <variable>)
True if the given variable is defined. It does not matter if the
variable is true or false just if it has been set.
if((expression) AND (expression OR (expression)))
The expressions inside the parenthesis are evaluated first and
then the remaining expression is evaluated as in the previous
examples. Where there are nested parenthesis the innermost are
evaluated as part of evaluating the expression that contains
them.
The if command was written very early in CMake's history, pre‐
dating the ${} variable evaluation syntax, and for convenience
evaluates variables named by its arguments as shown in the above
signatures. Note that normal variable evaluation with ${}
applies before the if command even receives the arguments.
Therefore code like
set(var1 OFF)
set(var2 "var1")
if(${var2})
appears to the if command as
if(var1)
and is evaluated according to the if(<variable>) case documented
above. The result is OFF which is false. However, if we remove
the ${} from the example then the command sees
if(var2)
which is true because var2 is defined to "var1" which is not a
false constant.
Automatic evaluation applies in the other cases whenever the
above-documented signature accepts <variable|string>:
1) The left hand argument to MATCHES is first checked to see if
it is a defined variable, if so the variable's value is used,
otherwise the original value is used.
2) If the left hand argument to MATCHES is missing it returns
false without error
3) Both left and right hand arguments to LESS GREATER EQUAL are
independently tested to see if they are defined variables, if so
their defined values are used otherwise the original value is
used.
4) Both left and right hand arguments to STRLESS STREQUAL STR‐
GREATER are independently tested to see if they are defined
variables, if so their defined values are used otherwise the
original value is used.
5) Both left and right hand argumemnts to VERSION_LESS VER‐
SION_EQUAL VERSION_GREATER are independently tested to see if
they are defined variables, if so their defined values are used
otherwise the original value is used.
6) The right hand argument to NOT is tested to see if it is a
boolean constant, if so the value is used, otherwise it is
assumed to be a variable and it is dereferenced.
7) The left and right hand arguments to AND OR are independently
tested to see if they are boolean constants, if so they are used
as such, otherwise they are assumed to be variables and are
dereferenced.
include
Load and run CMake code from a file or module.
include(<file|module> [OPTIONAL] [RESULT_VARIABLE <VAR>]
[NO_POLICY_SCOPE])
Load and run CMake code from the file given. Variable reads and
writes access the scope of the caller (dynamic scoping). If
OPTIONAL is present, then no error is raised if the file does
not exist. If RESULT_VARIABLE is given the variable will be set
to the full filename which has been included or NOTFOUND if it
failed.
If a module is specified instead of a file, the file with name
<modulename>.cmake is searched first in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH, then
in the CMake module directory. There is one exception to this:
if the file which calls include() is located itself in the CMake
module directory, then first the CMake module directory is
searched and CMAKE_MODULE_PATH afterwards. See also policy
CMP0017.
See the cmake_policy() command documentation for discussion of
the NO_POLICY_SCOPE option.
include_directories
Add include directories to the build.
include_directories([AFTER|BEFORE] [SYSTEM] dir1 dir2 ...)
Add the given directories to those the compiler uses to search
for include files. Relative paths are interpreted as relative
to the current source directory.
The include directories are added to the directory property
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES for the current CMakeLists file. They are
also added to the target property INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES for each
target in the current CMakeLists file. The target property val‐
ues are the ones used by the generators.
By default the directories are appended onto the current list of
directories. This default behavior can be changed by setting
CMAKE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES_BEFORE to ON. By using AFTER or BEFORE
explicitly, you can select between appending and prepending,
independent of the default.
If the SYSTEM option is given, the compiler will be told the
directories are meant as system include directories on some
platforms (signalling this setting might achieve effects such as
the compiler skipping warnings, or these fixed-install system
files not being considered in dependency calculations - see com‐
piler docs).
include_external_msproject
Include an external Microsoft project file in a workspace.
include_external_msproject(projectname location
[TYPE projectTypeGUID]
[GUID projectGUID]
[PLATFORM platformName]
dep1 dep2 ...)
Includes an external Microsoft project in the generated
workspace file. Currently does nothing on UNIX. This will cre‐
ate a target named [projectname]. This can be used in the
add_dependencies command to make things depend on the external
project.
TYPE, GUID and PLATFORM are optional parameters that allow one
to specify the type of project, id (GUID) of the project and the
name of the target platform. This is useful for projects
requiring values other than the default (e.g. WIX projects).
These options are not supported by the Visual Studio 6 genera‐
tor.
include_regular_expression
Set the regular expression used for dependency checking.
include_regular_expression(regex_match [regex_complain])
Set the regular expressions used in dependency checking. Only
files matching regex_match will be traced as dependencies. Only
files matching regex_complain will generate warnings if they
cannot be found (standard header paths are not searched). The
defaults are:
regex_match = "^.*$" (match everything)
regex_complain = "^$" (match empty string only)
install
Specify rules to run at install time.
This command generates installation rules for a project. Rules
specified by calls to this command within a source directory are
executed in order during installation. The order across direc‐
tories is not defined.
There are multiple signatures for this command. Some of them
define installation properties for files and targets. Proper‐
ties common to multiple signatures are covered here but they are
valid only for signatures that specify them.
DESTINATION arguments specify the directory on disk to which a
file will be installed. If a full path (with a leading slash or
drive letter) is given it is used directly. If a relative path
is given it is interpreted relative to the value of
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. The prefix can be relocated at install
time using DESTDIR mechanism explained in the CMAKE_INSTALL_PRE‐
FIX variable documentation.
PERMISSIONS arguments specify permissions for installed files.
Valid permissions are OWNER_READ, OWNER_WRITE, OWNER_EXECUTE,
GROUP_READ, GROUP_WRITE, GROUP_EXECUTE, WORLD_READ, WORLD_WRITE,
WORLD_EXECUTE, SETUID, and SETGID. Permissions that do not make
sense on certain platforms are ignored on those platforms.
The CONFIGURATIONS argument specifies a list of build configura‐
tions for which the install rule applies (Debug, Release, etc.).
The COMPONENT argument specifies an installation component name
with which the install rule is associated, such as "runtime" or
"development". During component-specific installation only
install rules associated with the given component name will be
executed. During a full installation all components are
installed. If COMPONENT is not provided a default component
"Unspecified" is created. The default component name may be con‐
trolled with the CMAKE_INSTALL_DEFAULT_COMPONENT_NAME variable.
The RENAME argument specifies a name for an installed file that
may be different from the original file. Renaming is allowed
only when a single file is installed by the command.
The OPTIONAL argument specifies that it is not an error if the
file to be installed does not exist.
The TARGETS signature:

] [...])
The TARGETS form specifies rules for installing targets from a
project. There are five kinds of target files that may be
installed: ARCHIVE, LIBRARY, RUNTIME, FRAMEWORK, and BUNDLE.
Executables are treated as RUNTIME targets, except that those
marked with the MACOSX_BUNDLE property are treated as BUNDLE
targets on OS X. Static libraries are always treated as ARCHIVE
targets. Module libraries are always treated as LIBRARY targets.
For non-DLL platforms shared libraries are treated as LIBRARY
targets, except that those marked with the FRAMEWORK property
are treated as FRAMEWORK targets on OS X. For DLL platforms the
DLL part of a shared library is treated as a RUNTIME target and
the corresponding import library is treated as an ARCHIVE tar‐
get. All Windows-based systems including Cygwin are DLL plat‐
forms. The ARCHIVE, LIBRARY, RUNTIME, and FRAMEWORK arguments
change the type of target to which the subsequent properties
apply. If none is given the installation properties apply to
all target types. If only one is given then only targets of
that type will be installed (which can be used to install just a
DLL or just an import library).The INCLUDES DESTINATION speci‐
fies a list of directories which will be added to the INTER‐
FACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES of the <targets> when exported by
install(EXPORT). If a relative path is specified, it is treated
as relative to the $<INSTALL_PREFIX>.
The PRIVATE_HEADER, PUBLIC_HEADER, and RESOURCE arguments cause
subsequent properties to be applied to installing a FRAMEWORK
shared library target's associated files on non-Apple platforms.
Rules defined by these arguments are ignored on Apple platforms
because the associated files are installed into the appropriate
locations inside the framework folder. See documentation of the
PRIVATE_HEADER, PUBLIC_HEADER, and RESOURCE target properties
for details.
Either NAMELINK_ONLY or NAMELINK_SKIP may be specified as a
LIBRARY option. On some platforms a versioned shared library
has a symbolic link such as
lib<name>.so -> lib<name>.so.1
where "lib<name>.so.1" is the soname of the library and
"lib<name>.so" is a "namelink" allowing linkers to find the
library when given "-l<name>". The NAMELINK_ONLY option causes
installation of only the namelink when a library target is
installed. The NAMELINK_SKIP option causes installation of
library files other than the namelink when a library target is
installed. When neither option is given both portions are
installed. On platforms where versioned shared libraries do not
have namelinks or when a library is not versioned the
NAMELINK_SKIP option installs the library and the NAMELINK_ONLY
option installs nothing. See the VERSION and SOVERSION target
properties for details on creating versioned shared libraries.
One or more groups of properties may be specified in a single
call to the TARGETS form of this command. A target may be
installed more than once to different locations. Consider hypo‐
thetical targets "myExe", "mySharedLib", and "myStaticLib". The
code
install(TARGETS myExe mySharedLib myStaticLib
RUNTIME DESTINATION bin
LIBRARY DESTINATION lib
ARCHIVE DESTINATION lib/static)
install(TARGETS mySharedLib DESTINATION /some/full/path)
will install myExe to <prefix>/bin and myStaticLib to <pre‐
fix>/lib/static. On non-DLL platforms mySharedLib will be
installed to <prefix>/lib and /some/full/path. On DLL platforms
the mySharedLib DLL will be installed to <prefix>/bin and
/some/full/path and its import library will be installed to
<prefix>/lib/static and /some/full/path.
The EXPORT option associates the installed target files with an
export called <export-name>. It must appear before any RUNTIME,
LIBRARY, or ARCHIVE options. To actually install the export
file itself, call install(EXPORT). See documentation of the
install(EXPORT ...) signature below for details.
Installing a target with EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL set to true has unde‐
fined behavior.
The FILES signature:
install(FILES files... DESTINATION <dir>
[PERMISSIONS permissions...]
[CONFIGURATIONS [Debug|Release|...]]
[COMPONENT <component>]
[RENAME <name>] [OPTIONAL])
The FILES form specifies rules for installing files for a
project. File names given as relative paths are interpreted
with respect to the current source directory. Files installed
by this form are by default given permissions OWNER_WRITE,
OWNER_READ, GROUP_READ, and WORLD_READ if no PERMISSIONS argu‐
ment is given.
The PROGRAMS signature:
install(PROGRAMS files... DESTINATION <dir>
[PERMISSIONS permissions...]
[CONFIGURATIONS [Debug|Release|...]]
[COMPONENT <component>]
[RENAME <name>] [OPTIONAL])
The PROGRAMS form is identical to the FILES form except that the
default permissions for the installed file also include
OWNER_EXECUTE, GROUP_EXECUTE, and WORLD_EXECUTE. This form is
intended to install programs that are not targets, such as shell
scripts. Use the TARGETS form to install targets built within
the project.
The DIRECTORY signature:
install(DIRECTORY dirs... DESTINATION <dir>
[FILE_PERMISSIONS permissions...]
[DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS permissions...]
[USE_SOURCE_PERMISSIONS] [OPTIONAL]
[CONFIGURATIONS [Debug|Release|...]]
[COMPONENT <component>] [FILES_MATCHING]
[[PATTERN <pattern> | REGEX <regex>]
[EXCLUDE] [PERMISSIONS permissions...]] [...])
The DIRECTORY form installs contents of one or more directories
to a given destination. The directory structure is copied ver‐
batim to the destination. The last component of each directory
name is appended to the destination directory but a trailing
slash may be used to avoid this because it leaves the last com‐
ponent empty. Directory names given as relative paths are
interpreted with respect to the current source directory. If no
input directory names are given the destination directory will
be created but nothing will be installed into it. The FILE_PER‐
MISSIONS and DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS options specify permissions
given to files and directories in the destination. If
USE_SOURCE_PERMISSIONS is specified and FILE_PERMISSIONS is not,
file permissions will be copied from the source directory struc‐
ture. If no permissions are specified files will be given the
default permissions specified in the FILES form of the command,
and the directories will be given the default permissions speci‐
fied in the PROGRAMS form of the command.
Installation of directories may be controlled with fine granu‐
larity using the PATTERN or REGEX options. These "match"
options specify a globbing pattern or regular expression to
match directories or files encountered within input directories.
They may be used to apply certain options (see below) to a sub‐
set of the files and directories encountered. The full path to
each input file or directory (with forward slashes) is matched
against the expression. A PATTERN will match only complete file
names: the portion of the full path matching the pattern must
occur at the end of the file name and be preceded by a slash. A
REGEX will match any portion of the full path but it may use '/'
and '$' to simulate the PATTERN behavior. By default all files
and directories are installed whether or not they are matched.
The FILES_MATCHING option may be given before the first match
option to disable installation of files (but not directories)
not matched by any expression. For example, the code
install(DIRECTORY src/ DESTINATION include/myproj
FILES_MATCHING PATTERN "*.h")
will extract and install header files from a source tree.
Some options may follow a PATTERN or REGEX expression and are
applied only to files or directories matching them. The EXCLUDE
option will skip the matched file or directory. The PERMISSIONS
option overrides the permissions setting for the matched file or
directory. For example the code
install(DIRECTORY icons scripts/ DESTINATION share/myproj
PATTERN "CVS" EXCLUDE
PATTERN "scripts/*"
PERMISSIONS OWNER_EXECUTE OWNER_WRITE OWNER_READ
GROUP_EXECUTE GROUP_READ)
will install the icons directory to share/myproj/icons and the
scripts directory to share/myproj. The icons will get default
file permissions, the scripts will be given specific permis‐
sions, and any CVS directories will be excluded.
The SCRIPT and CODE signature:
install([[SCRIPT <file>] [CODE <code>]] [...])
The SCRIPT form will invoke the given CMake script files during
installation. If the script file name is a relative path it
will be interpreted with respect to the current source direc‐
tory. The CODE form will invoke the given CMake code during
installation. Code is specified as a single argument inside a
double-quoted string. For example, the code
install(CODE "MESSAGE(\"Sample install message.\")")
will print a message during installation.
The EXPORT signature:
install(EXPORT <export-name> DESTINATION <dir>
[NAMESPACE <namespace>] [FILE <name>.cmake]
[PERMISSIONS permissions...]
[CONFIGURATIONS [Debug|Release|...]]
[EXPORT_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES]
[COMPONENT <component>])
The EXPORT form generates and installs a CMake file containing
code to import targets from the installation tree into another
project. Target installations are associated with the export
<export-name> using the EXPORT option of the install(TARGETS
...) signature documented above. The NAMESPACE option will
prepend <namespace> to the target names as they are written to
the import file. By default the generated file will be called
<export-name>.cmake but the FILE option may be used to specify a
different name. The value given to the FILE option must be a
file name with the ".cmake" extension. If a CONFIGURATIONS
option is given then the file will only be installed when one of
the named configurations is installed. Additionally, the gener‐
ated import file will reference only the matching target config‐
urations. The EXPORT_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES keyword, if
present, causes the contents of the properties matching
(IMPORTED_)?LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES(_<CONFIG>)? to be exported,
when policy CMP0022 is NEW. If a COMPONENT option is specified
that does not match that given to the targets associated with
<export-name> the behavior is undefined. If a library target is
included in the export but a target to which it links is not
included the behavior is unspecified.
The EXPORT form is useful to help outside projects use targets
built and installed by the current project. For example, the
code
install(TARGETS myexe EXPORT myproj DESTINATION bin)
install(EXPORT myproj NAMESPACE mp_ DESTINATION lib/myproj)
will install the executable myexe to <prefix>/bin and code to
import it in the file "<prefix>/lib/myproj/myproj.cmake". An
outside project may load this file with the include command and
reference the myexe executable from the installation tree using
the imported target name mp_myexe as if the target were built in
its own tree.
NOTE: This command supercedes the INSTALL_TARGETS command and
the target properties PRE_INSTALL_SCRIPT and
POST_INSTALL_SCRIPT. It also replaces the FILES forms of the
INSTALL_FILES and INSTALL_PROGRAMS commands. The processing
order of these install rules relative to those generated by
INSTALL_TARGETS, INSTALL_FILES, and INSTALL_PROGRAMS commands is
not defined.
link_directories
Specify directories in which the linker will look for libraries.
link_directories(directory1 directory2 ...)
Specify the paths in which the linker should search for
libraries. The command will apply only to targets created after
it is called. Relative paths given to this command are inter‐
preted as relative to the current source directory, see CMP0015.
Note that this command is rarely necessary. Library locations
returned by find_package() and find_library() are absolute
paths. Pass these absolute library file paths directly to the
target_link_libraries() command. CMake will ensure the linker
finds them.
list List operations.
list(LENGTH <list> <output variable>)
list(GET <list> <element index> [<element index> ...]
<output variable>)
list(APPEND <list> <element> [<element> ...])
list(FIND <list> <value> <output variable>)
list(INSERT <list> <element_index> <element> [<element> ...])
list(REMOVE_ITEM <list> <value> [<value> ...])
list(REMOVE_AT <list> <index> [<index> ...])
list(REMOVE_DUPLICATES <list>)
list(REVERSE <list>)
list(SORT <list>)
LENGTH will return a given list's length.
GET will return list of elements specified by indices from the
list.
APPEND will append elements to the list.
FIND will return the index of the element specified in the list
or -1 if it wasn't found.
INSERT will insert elements to the list to the specified loca‐
tion.
REMOVE_AT and REMOVE_ITEM will remove items from the list. The
difference is that REMOVE_ITEM will remove the given items,
while REMOVE_AT will remove the items at the given indices.
REMOVE_DUPLICATES will remove duplicated items in the list.
REVERSE reverses the contents of the list in-place.
SORT sorts the list in-place alphabetically.
The list subcommands APPEND, INSERT, REMOVE_AT, REMOVE_ITEM,
REMOVE_DUPLICATES, REVERSE and SORT may create new values for
the list within the current CMake variable scope. Similar to the
SET command, the LIST command creates new variable values in the
current scope, even if the list itself is actually defined in a
parent scope. To propagate the results of these operations
upwards, use SET with PARENT_SCOPE, SET with CACHE INTERNAL, or
some other means of value propagation.
NOTES: A list in cmake is a ; separated group of strings. To
create a list the set command can be used. For example, set(var
a b c d e) creates a list with a;b;c;d;e, and set(var "a b c d
e") creates a string or a list with one item in it.
When specifying index values, if <element index> is 0 or
greater, it is indexed from the beginning of the list, with 0
representing the first list element. If <element index> is -1 or
lesser, it is indexed from the end of the list, with -1 repre‐
senting the last list element. Be careful when counting with
negative indices: they do not start from 0. -0 is equivalent to
0, the first list element.
load_cache
Load in the values from another project's CMake cache.
load_cache(pathToCacheFile READ_WITH_PREFIX
prefix entry1...)
Read the cache and store the requested entries in variables with
their name prefixed with the given prefix. This only reads the
values, and does not create entries in the local project's
cache.
load_cache(pathToCacheFile [EXCLUDE entry1...]
[INCLUDE_INTERNALS entry1...])
Load in the values from another cache and store them in the
local project's cache as internal entries. This is useful for a
project that depends on another project built in a different
tree. EXCLUDE option can be used to provide a list of entries
to be excluded. INCLUDE_INTERNALS can be used to provide a list
of internal entries to be included. Normally, no internal
entries are brought in. Use of this form of the command is
strongly discouraged, but it is provided for backward compati‐
bility.
load_command
Load a command into a running CMake.
load_command(COMMAND_NAME <loc1> [loc2 ...])
The given locations are searched for a library whose name is
cmCOMMAND_NAME. If found, it is loaded as a module and the com‐
mand is added to the set of available CMake commands. Usually,
TRY_COMPILE is used before this command to compile the module.
If the command is successfully loaded a variable named
CMAKE_LOADED_COMMAND_<COMMAND_NAME>
will be set to the full path of the module that was loaded.
Otherwise the variable will not be set.
macro Start recording a macro for later invocation as a command.
macro(<name> [arg1 [arg2 [arg3 ...]]])
COMMAND1(ARGS ...)
COMMAND2(ARGS ...)
...
endmacro(<name>)
Define a macro named <name> that takes arguments named arg1 arg2
arg3 (...). Commands listed after macro, but before the match‐
ing endmacro, are not invoked until the macro is invoked. When
it is invoked, the commands recorded in the macro are first mod‐
ified by replacing formal parameters (${arg1}) with the argu‐
ments passed, and then invoked as normal commands. In addition
to referencing the formal parameters you can reference the val‐
ues ${ARGC} which will be set to the number of arguments passed
into the function as well as ${ARGV0} ${ARGV1} ${ARGV2} ...
which will have the actual values of the arguments passed in.
This facilitates creating macros with optional arguments. Addi‐
tionally ${ARGV} holds the list of all arguments given to the
macro and ${ARGN} holds the list of arguments past the last
expected argument. Note that the parameters to a macro and val‐
ues such as ARGN are not variables in the usual CMake sense.
They are string replacements much like the C preprocessor would
do with a macro. If you want true CMake variables and/or better
CMake scope control you should look at the function command.
See the cmake_policy() command documentation for the behavior of
policies inside macros.
mark_as_advanced
Mark cmake cached variables as advanced.
mark_as_advanced([CLEAR|FORCE] VAR VAR2 VAR...)
Mark the named cached variables as advanced. An advanced vari‐
able will not be displayed in any of the cmake GUIs unless the
show advanced option is on. If CLEAR is the first argument
advanced variables are changed back to unadvanced. If FORCE is
the first argument, then the variable is made advanced. If nei‐
ther FORCE nor CLEAR is specified, new values will be marked as
advanced, but if the variable already has an
advanced/non-advanced state, it will not be changed.
It does nothing in script mode.
math Mathematical expressions.
math(EXPR <output variable> <math expression>)
EXPR evaluates mathematical expression and returns result in the
output variable. Example mathematical expression is '5 * ( 10 +
13 )'. Supported operators are + - * / % | & ^ ~ << >> * / %.
They have the same meaning as they do in C code.
message
Display a message to the user.
message([STATUS|WARNING|AUTHOR_WARNING|FATAL_ERROR|SEND_ERROR]
"message to display" ...)
The optional keyword determines the type of message:
(none) = Important information
STATUS = Incidental information
WARNING = CMake Warning, continue processing
AUTHOR_WARNING = CMake Warning (dev), continue processing
SEND_ERROR = CMake Error, continue processing,
but skip generation
FATAL_ERROR = CMake Error, stop processing and generation
The CMake command-line tool displays STATUS messages on stdout
and all other message types on stderr. The CMake GUI displays
all messages in its log area. The interactive dialogs (ccmake
and CMakeSetup) show STATUS messages one at a time on a status
line and other messages in interactive pop-up boxes.
CMake Warning and Error message text displays using a simple
markup language. Non-indented text is formatted in line-wrapped
paragraphs delimited by newlines. Indented text is considered
pre-formatted.
option Provides an option that the user can optionally select.
option(<option_variable> "help string describing option"
[initial value])
Provide an option for the user to select as ON or OFF. If no
initial value is provided, OFF is used.
If you have options that depend on the values of other options,
see the module help for CMakeDependentOption.
project
Set a name for the entire project.
project(<projectname> [languageName1 languageName2 ... ] )
Sets the name of the project. Additionally this sets the vari‐
ables <projectName>_BINARY_DIR and <projectName>_SOURCE_DIR to
the respective values.
Optionally you can specify which languages your project sup‐
ports. Example languages are CXX (i.e. C++), C, Fortran, etc.
By default C and CXX are enabled. E.g. if you do not have a C++
compiler, you can disable the check for it by explicitly listing
the languages you want to support, e.g. C. By using the special
language "NONE" all checks for any language can be disabled. If
a variable exists called CMAKE_PROJECT_<projectName>_INCLUDE,
the file pointed to by that variable will be included as the
last step of the project command.
The top-level CMakeLists.txt file for a project must contain a
literal, direct call to the project() command; loading one
through the include() command is not sufficient. If no such
call exists CMake will implicitly add one to the top that
enables the default languages (C and CXX).
qt_wrap_cpp
Create Qt Wrappers.
qt_wrap_cpp(resultingLibraryName DestName
SourceLists ...)
Produce moc files for all the .h files listed in the
SourceLists. The moc files will be added to the library using
the DestName source list.
qt_wrap_ui
Create Qt user interfaces Wrappers.
qt_wrap_ui(resultingLibraryName HeadersDestName
SourcesDestName SourceLists ...)
Produce .h and .cxx files for all the .ui files listed in the
SourceLists. The .h files will be added to the library using
the HeadersDestNamesource list. The .cxx files will be added to
the library using the SourcesDestNamesource list.
remove_definitions
Removes -D define flags added by add_definitions.
remove_definitions(-DFOO -DBAR ...)
Removes flags (added by add_definitions) from the compiler com‐
mand line for sources in the current directory and below.
return Return from a file, directory or function.
return()
Returns from a file, directory or function. When this command is
encountered in an included file (via include() or find_pack‐
age()), it causes processing of the current file to stop and
control is returned to the including file. If it is encountered
in a file which is not included by another file, e.g. a CMake‐
Lists.txt, control is returned to the parent directory if there
is one. If return is called in a function, control is returned
to the caller of the function. Note that a macro is not a func‐
tion and does not handle return like a function does.
separate_arguments
Parse space-separated arguments into a semicolon-separated list.
separate_arguments(<var> <UNIX|WINDOWS>_COMMAND "<args>")
Parses a unix- or windows-style command-line string "<args>" and
stores a semicolon-separated list of the arguments in <var>.
The entire command line must be given in one "<args>" argument.
The UNIX_COMMAND mode separates arguments by unquoted white‐
space. It recognizes both single-quote and double-quote pairs.
A backslash escapes the next literal character (\" is "); there
are no special escapes (\n is just n).
The WINDOWS_COMMAND mode parses a windows command-line using the
same syntax the runtime library uses to construct argv at
startup. It separates arguments by whitespace that is not dou‐
ble-quoted. Backslashes are literal unless they precede dou‐
ble-quotes. See the MSDN article "Parsing C Command-Line Argu‐
ments" for details.
separate_arguments(VARIABLE)
Convert the value of VARIABLE to a semi-colon separated list.
All spaces are replaced with ';'. This helps with generating
command lines.
set Set a CMake, cache or environment variable to a given value.
set(<variable> <value>
[[CACHE <type> <docstring> [FORCE]] | PARENT_SCOPE])
Within CMake sets <variable> to the value <value>. <value> is
expanded before <variable> is set to it. Normally, set will set
a regular CMake variable. If CACHE is present, then the <vari‐
able> is put in the cache instead, unless it is already in the
cache. See section 'Variable types in CMake' below for details
of regular and cache variables and their interactions. If CACHE
is used, <type> and <docstring> are required. <type> is used by
the CMake GUI to choose a widget with which the user sets a
value. The value for <type> may be one of
FILEPATH = File chooser dialog.
PATH = Directory chooser dialog.
STRING = Arbitrary string.
BOOL = Boolean ON/OFF checkbox.
INTERNAL = No GUI entry (used for persistent variables).
If <type> is INTERNAL, the cache variable is marked as internal,
and will not be shown to the user in tools like cmake-gui. This
is intended for values that should be persisted in the cache,
but which users should not normally change. INTERNAL implies
FORCE.
Normally, set(...CACHE...) creates cache variables, but does not
modify them. If FORCE is specified, the value of the cache vari‐
able is set, even if the variable is already in the cache. This
should normally be avoided, as it will remove any changes to the
cache variable's value by the user.
If PARENT_SCOPE is present, the variable will be set in the
scope above the current scope. Each new directory or function
creates a new scope. This command will set the value of a vari‐
able into the parent directory or calling function (whichever is
applicable to the case at hand). PARENT_SCOPE cannot be combined
with CACHE.
If <value> is not specified then the variable is removed instead
of set. See also: the unset() command.
set(<variable> <value1> ... <valueN>)
In this case <variable> is set to a semicolon separated list of
values.
<variable> can be an environment variable such as:
set( ENV{PATH} /home/martink )
in which case the environment variable will be set.
*** Variable types in CMake ***
In CMake there are two types of variables: normal variables and
cache variables. Normal variables are meant for the internal use
of the script (just like variables in most programming lan‐
guages); they are not persisted across CMake runs. Cache vari‐
ables (unless set with INTERNAL) are mostly intended for config‐
uration settings where the first CMake run determines a suitable
default value, which the user can then override, by editing the
cache with tools such as ccmake or cmake-gui. Cache variables
are stored in the CMake cache file, and are persisted across
CMake runs.
Both types can exist at the same time with the same name but
different values. When ${FOO} is evaluated, CMake first looks
for a normal variable 'FOO' in scope and uses it if set. If and
only if no normal variable exists then it falls back to the
cache variable 'FOO'.
Some examples:
The code 'set(FOO "x")' sets the normal variable 'FOO'. It does
not touch the cache, but it will hide any existing cache value
'FOO'.
The code 'set(FOO "x" CACHE ...)' checks for 'FOO' in the cache,
ignoring any normal variable of the same name. If 'FOO' is in
the cache then nothing happens to either the normal variable or
the cache variable. If 'FOO' is not in the cache, then it is
added to the cache.
Finally, whenever a cache variable is added or modified by a
command, CMake also *removes* the normal variable of the same
name from the current scope so that an immediately following
evaluation of it will expose the newly cached value.
Normally projects should avoid using normal and cache variables
of the same name, as this interaction can be hard to follow.
However, in some situations it can be useful. One example (used
by some projects):
A project has a subproject in its source tree. The child project
has its own CMakeLists.txt, which is included from the parent
CMakeLists.txt using add_subdirectory(). Now, if the parent and
the child project provide the same option (for example a com‐
piler option), the parent gets the first chance to add a
user-editable option to the cache. Normally, the child would
then use the same value that the parent uses. However, it may be
necessary to hard-code the value for the child project's option
while still allowing the user to edit the value used by the par‐
ent project. The parent project can achieve this simply by set‐
ting a normal variable with the same name as the option in a
scope sufficient to hide the option's cache variable from the
child completely. The parent has already set the cache variable,
so the child's set(...CACHE...) will do nothing, and evaluating
the option variable will use the value from the normal variable,
which hides the cache variable.
set_directory_properties
Set a property of the directory.
set_directory_properties(PROPERTIES prop1 value1 prop2 value2)
Set a property for the current directory and subdirectories. If
the property is not found, CMake will report an error. The prop‐
erties include: INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, LINK_DIRECTORIES,
INCLUDE_REGULAR_EXPRESSION, and ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES.
ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES is a list of files that will be
cleaned as a part of "make clean" stage.
set_property
Set a named property in a given scope.
set_property(<GLOBAL |
DIRECTORY [dir] |
TARGET [target1 [target2 ...]] |
SOURCE [src1 [src2 ...]] |
TEST [test1 [test2 ...]] |
CACHE [entry1 [entry2 ...]]>
[APPEND] [APPEND_STRING]
PROPERTY <name> [value1 [value2 ...]])
Set one property on zero or more objects of a scope. The first
argument determines the scope in which the property is set. It
must be one of the following:
GLOBAL scope is unique and does not accept a name.
DIRECTORY scope defaults to the current directory but another
directory (already processed by CMake) may be named by full or
relative path.
TARGET scope may name zero or more existing targets.
SOURCE scope may name zero or more source files. Note that
source file properties are visible only to targets added in the
same directory (CMakeLists.txt).
TEST scope may name zero or more existing tests.
CACHE scope must name zero or more cache existing entries.
The required PROPERTY option is immediately followed by the name
of the property to set. Remaining arguments are used to compose
the property value in the form of a semicolon-separated list.
If the APPEND option is given the list is appended to any exist‐
ing property value.If the APPEND_STRING option is given the
string is append to any existing property value as string, i.e.
it results in a longer string and not a list of strings.
set_source_files_properties
Source files can have properties that affect how they are built.
set_source_files_properties([file1 [file2 [...]]]
PROPERTIES prop1 value1
[prop2 value2 [...]])
Set properties associated with source files using a key/value
paired list. See properties documentation for those known to
CMake. Unrecognized properties are ignored. Source file prop‐
erties are visible only to targets added in the same directory
(CMakeLists.txt).
set_target_properties
Targets can have properties that affect how they are built.
set_target_properties(target1 target2 ...
PROPERTIES prop1 value1
prop2 value2 ...)
Set properties on a target. The syntax for the command is to
list all the files you want to change, and then provide the val‐
ues you want to set next. You can use any prop value pair you
want and extract it later with the GET_TARGET_PROPERTY command.
Properties that affect the name of a target's output file are as
follows. The PREFIX and SUFFIX properties override the default
target name prefix (such as "lib") and suffix (such as ".so").
IMPORT_PREFIX and IMPORT_SUFFIX are the equivalent properties
for the import library corresponding to a DLL (for SHARED
library targets). OUTPUT_NAME sets the real name of a target
when it is built and can be used to help create two targets of
the same name even though CMake requires unique logical target
names. There is also a <CONFIG>_OUTPUT_NAME that can set the
output name on a per-configuration basis. <CONFIG>_POSTFIX sets
a postfix for the real name of the target when it is built under
the configuration named by <CONFIG> (in upper-case, such as
"DEBUG_POSTFIX"). The value of this property is initialized
when the target is created to the value of the variable
CMAKE_<CONFIG>_POSTFIX (except for executable targets because
earlier CMake versions which did not use this variable for exe‐
cutables).
The LINK_FLAGS property can be used to add extra flags to the
link step of a target. LINK_FLAGS_<CONFIG> will add to the con‐
figuration <CONFIG>, for example, DEBUG, RELEASE, MINSIZEREL,
RELWITHDEBINFO. DEFINE_SYMBOL sets the name of the preprocessor
symbol defined when compiling sources in a shared library. If
not set here then it is set to target_EXPORTS by default (with
some substitutions if the target is not a valid C identifier).
This is useful for headers to know whether they are being
included from inside their library or outside to properly setup
dllexport/dllimport decorations. The COMPILE_FLAGS property sets
additional compiler flags used to build sources within the tar‐
get. It may also be used to pass additional preprocessor defi‐
nitions.
The LINKER_LANGUAGE property is used to change the tool used to
link an executable or shared library. The default is set the
language to match the files in the library. CXX and C are common
values for this property.
For shared libraries VERSION and SOVERSION can be used to spec‐
ify the build version and API version respectively. When build‐
ing or installing appropriate symlinks are created if the plat‐
form supports symlinks and the linker supports so-names. If only
one of both is specified the missing is assumed to have the same
version number. For executables VERSION can be used to specify
the build version. When building or installing appropriate sym‐
links are created if the platform supports symlinks. For shared
libraries and executables on Windows the VERSION attribute is
parsed to extract a "major.minor" version number. These numbers
are used as the image version of the binary.
There are a few properties used to specify RPATH rules.
INSTALL_RPATH is a semicolon-separated list specifying the rpath
to use in installed targets (for platforms that support it).
INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH is a boolean that if set to true
will append directories in the linker search path and outside
the project to the INSTALL_RPATH. SKIP_BUILD_RPATH is a boolean
specifying whether to skip automatic generation of an rpath
allowing the target to run from the build tree.
BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH is a boolean specifying whether to link
the target in the build tree with the INSTALL_RPATH. This takes
precedence over SKIP_BUILD_RPATH and avoids the need for relink‐
ing before installation. INSTALL_NAME_DIR is a string specify‐
ing the directory portion of the "install_name" field of shared
libraries on Mac OSX to use in the installed targets. When the
target is created the values of the variables
CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH, CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH,
CMAKE_SKIP_BUILD_RPATH, CMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH, and
CMAKE_INSTALL_NAME_DIR are used to initialize these properties.
PROJECT_LABEL can be used to change the name of the target in an
IDE like visual studio. VS_KEYWORD can be set to change the
visual studio keyword, for example Qt integration works better
if this is set to Qt4VSv1.0.
VS_SCC_PROJECTNAME, VS_SCC_LOCALPATH, VS_SCC_PROVIDER and
VS_SCC_AUXPATH can be set to add support for source control
bindings in a Visual Studio project file.
VS_GLOBAL_<variable> can be set to add a Visual Studio
project-specific global variable. Qt integration works better if
VS_GLOBAL_QtVersion is set to the Qt version FindQt4.cmake
found. For example, "4.7.3"
The PRE_INSTALL_SCRIPT and POST_INSTALL_SCRIPT properties are
the old way to specify CMake scripts to run before and after
installing a target. They are used only when the old
INSTALL_TARGETS command is used to install the target. Use the
INSTALL command instead.
The EXCLUDE_FROM_DEFAULT_BUILD property is used by the visual
studio generators. If it is set to 1 the target will not be
part of the default build when you select "Build Solution". This
can also be set on a per-configuration basis using
EXCLUDE_FROM_DEFAULT_BUILD_<CONFIG>.
set_tests_properties
Set a property of the tests.
set_tests_properties(test1 [test2...] PROPERTIES prop1 value1 prop2 value2)
Set a property for the tests. If the property is not found,
CMake will report an error. The properties include:
WILL_FAIL: If set to true, this will invert the pass/fail flag
of the test.
PASS_REGULAR_EXPRESSION: If set, the test output will be checked
against the specified regular expressions and at least one of
the regular expressions has to match, otherwise the test will
fail.
Example: PASS_REGULAR_EXPRESSION "TestPassed;All ok"
FAIL_REGULAR_EXPRESSION: If set, if the output will match to one
of specified regular expressions, the test will fail.
Example: PASS_REGULAR_EXPRESSION "[^a-z]Error;ERROR;Failed"
Both PASS_REGULAR_EXPRESSION and FAIL_REGULAR_EXPRESSION expect
a list of regular expressions.
TIMEOUT: Setting this will limit the test runtime to the number
of seconds specified.
site_name
Set the given variable to the name of the computer.
site_name(variable)
source_group
Define a grouping for sources in the makefile.
source_group(name [REGULAR_EXPRESSION regex] [FILES src1 src2 ...])
Defines a group into which sources will be placed in project
files. This is mainly used to setup file tabs in Visual Studio.
Any file whose name is listed or matches the regular expression
will be placed in this group. If a file matches multiple
groups, the LAST group that explicitly lists the file will be
favored, if any. If no group explicitly lists the file, the
LAST group whose regular expression matches the file will be
favored.
The name of the group may contain backslashes to specify sub‐
groups:
source_group(outer\\inner ...)
For backwards compatibility, this command also supports the for‐
mat:
source_group(name regex)
string String operations.
string(REGEX MATCH <regular_expression>
<output variable> <input> [<input>...])
string(REGEX MATCHALL <regular_expression>
<output variable> <input> [<input>...])

<replace_expression> <output variable>
<input> [<input>...])
string(REPLACE <match_string>
<replace_string> <output variable>
<input> [<input>...])

string(COMPARE EQUAL <string1> <string2> <output variable>)
string(COMPARE NOTEQUAL <string1> <string2> <output variable>)

string(FIND <string> <substring> <output variable> [REVERSE])
string(TIMESTAMP <output variable> [<format string>] [UTC])
string(MAKE_C_IDENTIFIER <input string> <output variable>)
REGEX MATCH will match the regular expression once and store the
match in the output variable.
REGEX MATCHALL will match the regular expression as many times
as possible and store the matches in the output variable as a
list.
REGEX REPLACE will match the regular expression as many times as
possible and substitute the replacement expression for the match
in the output. The replace expression may refer to paren-delim‐
ited subexpressions of the match using \1, \2, ..., \9. Note
that two backslashes (\\1) are required in CMake code to get a
backslash through argument parsing.
REPLACE will replace all occurrences of match_string in the
input with replace_string and store the result in the output.
MD5, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, and SHA512 will compute a
cryptographic hash of the input string.
COMPARE EQUAL/NOTEQUAL/LESS/GREATER will compare the strings and
store true or false in the output variable.
ASCII will convert all numbers into corresponding ASCII charac‐
ters.
CONFIGURE will transform a string like CONFIGURE_FILE transforms
a file.
TOUPPER/TOLOWER will convert string to upper/lower characters.
LENGTH will return a given string's length.
SUBSTRING will return a substring of a given string. If length
is -1 the remainder of the string starting at begin will be
returned.
STRIP will return a substring of a given string with leading and
trailing spaces removed.
RANDOM will return a random string of given length consisting of
characters from the given alphabet. Default length is 5 charac‐
ters and default alphabet is all numbers and upper and lower
case letters. If an integer RANDOM_SEED is given, its value
will be used to seed the random number generator.
FIND will return the position where the given substring was
found in the supplied string. If the REVERSE flag was used, the
command will search for the position of the last occurrence of
the specified substring.
The following characters have special meaning in regular expres‐
sions:
^ Matches at beginning of input
$ Matches at end of input
. Matches any single character
[ ] Matches any character(s) inside the brackets
[^ ] Matches any character(s) not inside the brackets
- Inside brackets, specifies an inclusive range between
characters on either side e.g. [a-f] is [abcdef]
To match a literal - using brackets, make it the first
or the last character e.g. [+*/-] matches basic
mathematical operators.
* Matches preceding pattern zero or more times
+ Matches preceding pattern one or more times
? Matches preceding pattern zero or once only
| Matches a pattern on either side of the |
() Saves a matched subexpression, which can be referenced
in the REGEX REPLACE operation. Additionally it is saved
by all regular expression-related commands, including
e.g. if( MATCHES ), in the variables CMAKE_MATCH_(0..9).
*, + and ? have higher precedence than concatenation. | has
lower precedence than concatenation. This means that the regular
expression "^ab+d$" matches "abbd" but not "ababd", and the reg‐
ular expression "^(ab|cd)$" matches "ab" but not "abd".
TIMESTAMP will write a string representation of the current date
and/or time to the output variable.
Should the command be unable to obtain a timestamp the output
variable will be set to the empty string "".
The optional UTC flag requests the current date/time representa‐
tion to be in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) rather than local
time.
The optional <format string> may contain the following format
specifiers:
%d The day of the current month (01-31).
%H The hour on a 24-hour clock (00-23).
%I The hour on a 12-hour clock (01-12).
%j The day of the current year (001-366).
%m The month of the current year (01-12).
%M The minute of the current hour (00-59).
%S The second of the current minute.
60 represents a leap second. (00-60)
%U The week number of the current year (00-53).
%w The day of the current week. 0 is Sunday. (0-6)
%y The last two digits of the current year (00-99)
%Y The current year.
Unknown format specifiers will be ignored and copied to the out‐
put as-is.
If no explicit <format string> is given it will default to:
%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S for local time.
%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ for UTC.
MAKE_C_IDENTIFIER will write a string which can be used as an
identifier in C.
target_compile_definitions
Add compile definitions to a target.
target_compile_definitions(<target> <INTERFACE|PUBLIC|PRIVATE> [items1...]
[<INTERFACE|PUBLIC|PRIVATE> [items2...] ...])
Specify compile definitions to use when compiling a given tar‐
get. The named <target> must have been created by a command
such as add_executable or add_library and must not be an
IMPORTED target. The INTERFACE, PUBLIC and PRIVATE keywords are
required to specify the scope of the following arguments. PRI‐
VATE and PUBLIC items will populate the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS
property of <target>. PUBLIC and INTERFACE items will populate
the INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS property of <target>. The
following arguments specify compile definitions. Repeated calls
for the same <target> append items in the order called.
Arguments to target_compile_definitions may use "generator
expressions" with the syntax "$<...>". Generator expressions

tories may be absolute paths or relative paths. Repeated calls
for the same <target> append items in the order called.If SYSTEM
is specified, the compiler will be told the directories are
meant as system include directories on some platforms (sig‐
nalling this setting might achieve effects such as the compiler
skipping warnings, or these fixed-install system files not being
considered in dependency calculations - see compiler docs). If
SYSTEM is used together with PUBLIC or INTERFACE, the INTER‐
FACE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES target property will be popu‐
lated with the specified directories.

target_link_libraries
Link a target to given libraries.
target_link_libraries(<target> [item1 [item2 [...]]]
[[debug|optimized|general] <item>] ...)
Specify libraries or flags to use when linking a given target.
The named <target> must have been created in the current direc‐
tory by a command such as add_executable or add_library. The
remaining arguments specify library names or flags. Repeated
calls for the same <target> append items in the order called.
If a library name matches that of another target in the project
a dependency will automatically be added in the build system to
make sure the library being linked is up-to-date before the tar‐
get links. Item names starting with '-', but not '-l' or
'-framework', are treated as linker flags.
A "debug", "optimized", or "general" keyword indicates that the
library immediately following it is to be used only for the cor‐
responding build configuration. The "debug" keyword corresponds
to the Debug configuration (or to configurations named in the
DEBUG_CONFIGURATIONS global property if it is set). The "opti‐
mized" keyword corresponds to all other configurations. The
"general" keyword corresponds to all configurations, and is
purely optional (assumed if omitted). Higher granularity may be
achieved for per-configuration rules by creating and linking to
IMPORTED library targets. See the IMPORTED mode of the
add_library command for more information.
Library dependencies are transitive by default. When this tar‐
get is linked into another target then the libraries linked to
this target will appear on the link line for the other target
too. See the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES target property to over‐
ride the set of transitive link dependencies for a target.
Calls to other signatures of this command may set the property
making any libraries linked exclusively by this signature pri‐
vate.
CMake will also propagate "usage requirements" from linked
library targets. Usage requirements affect compilation of
sources in the <target>. They are specified by properties
defined on linked targets. During generation of the build sys‐
tem, CMake integrates usage requirement property values with the
corresponding build properties for <target>:
INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITONS: Appends to COMPILE_DEFINITONS
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES: Appends to INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
INTERFACE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE: Sets POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE
or checked for consistency with existing value
If an <item> is a library in a Mac OX framework, the Headers
directory of the framework will also be processed as a "usage
requirement". This has the same effect as passing the framework
directory as an include directory. target_link_libraries(<tar‐
get>
<PRIVATE|PUBLIC|INTERFACE> <lib> ...
[<PRIVATE|PUBLIC|INTERFACE> <lib> ... ] ...])
The PUBLIC, PRIVATE and INTERFACE keywords can be used to spec‐
ify both the link dependencies and the link interface in one
command. Libraries and targets following PUBLIC are linked to,
and are made part of the link interface. Libraries and targets
following PRIVATE are linked to, but are not made part of the
link interface. Libraries following INTERFACE are appended to
the link interface and are not used for linking <target>.
target_link_libraries(<target> LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES
[[debug|optimized|general] <lib>] ...)
The LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES mode appends the libraries to the
INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES target property instead of using them
for linking. If policy CMP0022 is not NEW, then this mode also
appends libraries to the LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES and its
per-configuration equivalent. This signature is for compatibil‐
ity only. Prefer the INTERFACE mode instead. Libraries speci‐
fied as "debug" are wrapped in a generator expression to corre‐
spond to debug builds. If policy CMP0022 is not NEW, the
libraries are also appended to the LINK_INTER‐
FACE_LIBRARIES_DEBUG property (or to the properties correspond‐
ing to configurations listed in the DEBUG_CONFIGURATIONS global
property if it is set). Libraries specified as "optimized" are
appended to the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property. If policy
CMP0022 is not NEW, they are also appended to the LINK_INTER‐
FACE_LIBRARIES property. Libraries specified as "general" (or
without any keyword) are treated as if specified for both
"debug" and "optimized".
target_link_libraries(<target>
<LINK_PRIVATE|LINK_PUBLIC>
[[debug|optimized|general] <lib>] ...
[<LINK_PRIVATE|LINK_PUBLIC>
[[debug|optimized|general] <lib>] ...])
The LINK_PUBLIC and LINK_PRIVATE modes can be used to specify
both the link dependencies and the link interface in one com‐
mand. This signature is for compatibility only. Prefer the PUB‐
LIC or PRIVATE keywords instead. Libraries and targets follow‐
ing LINK_PUBLIC are linked to, and are made part of the INTER‐
FACE_LINK_LIBRARIES. If policy CMP0022 is not NEW, they are
also made part of the LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES. Libraries and
targets following LINK_PRIVATE are linked to, but are not made
part of the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES (or LINK_INTER‐
FACE_LIBRARIES).
The library dependency graph is normally acyclic (a DAG), but in
the case of mutually-dependent STATIC libraries CMake allows the
graph to contain cycles (strongly connected components). When
another target links to one of the libraries CMake repeats the
entire connected component. For example, the code
add_library(A STATIC a.c)
add_library(B STATIC b.c)
target_link_libraries(A B)
target_link_libraries(B A)
add_executable(main main.c)
target_link_libraries(main A)
links 'main' to 'A B A B'. (While one repetition is usually
sufficient, pathological object file and symbol arrangements can
require more. One may handle such cases by manually repeating
the component in the last target_link_libraries call. However,
if two archives are really so interdependent they should proba‐
bly be combined into a single archive.)
Arguments to target_link_libraries may use "generator expres‐
sions" with the syntax "$<...>". Note however, that generator
expressions will not be used in OLD handling of CMP0003 or
CMP0004.
Generator expressions are evaluated during build system genera‐
tion to produce information specific to each build configura‐
tion. Valid expressions are:
$<0:...> = empty string (ignores "...")
$<1:...> = content of "..."
$<CONFIG:cfg> = '1' if config is "cfg", else '0'
$<CONFIGURATION> = configuration name
$<BOOL:...> = '1' if the '...' is true, else '0'
$<STREQUAL:a,b> = '1' if a is STREQUAL b, else '0'
$<ANGLE-R> = A literal '>'. Used to compare strings which contain a '>' for example.
$<COMMA> = A literal ','. Used to compare strings which contain a ',' for example.
$<SEMICOLON> = A literal ';'. Used to prevent list expansion on an argument with ';'.
$<JOIN:list,...> = joins the list with the content of "..."
$<TARGET_NAME:...> = Marks ... as being the name of a target. This is required if exporting targets to multiple dependent export sets. The '...' must be a literal name of a target- it may not contain generator expressions.
$<INSTALL_INTERFACE:...> = content of "..." when the property is exported using install(EXPORT), and empty otherwise.
$<BUILD_INTERFACE:...> = content of "..." when the property is exported using export(), or when the target is used by another target in the same buildsystem. Expands to the empty string otherwise.
$<C_COMPILER_ID> = The CMake-id of the C compiler used.
$<C_COMPILER_ID:comp> = '1' if the CMake-id of the C compiler matches comp, otherwise '0'.
$<CXX_COMPILER_ID> = The CMake-id of the CXX compiler used.
$<CXX_COMPILER_ID:comp> = '1' if the CMake-id of the CXX compiler matches comp, otherwise '0'.
$<VERSION_GREATER:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is a version greater than v2, else '0'.
$<VERSION_LESS:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is a version less than v2, else '0'.
$<VERSION_EQUAL:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is the same version as v2, else '0'.
$<C_COMPILER_VERSION> = The version of the C compiler used.
$<C_COMPILER_VERSION:ver> = '1' if the version of the C compiler matches ver, otherwise '0'.
$<CXX_COMPILER_VERSION> = The version of the CXX compiler used.
$<CXX_COMPILER_VERSION:ver> = '1' if the version of the CXX compiler matches ver, otherwise '0'.
$<TARGET_FILE:tgt> = main file (.exe, .so.1.2, .a)
$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE:tgt> = file used to link (.a, .lib, .so)
$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE:tgt> = file with soname (.so.3)
where "tgt" is the name of a target. Target file expressions
produce a full path, but _DIR and _NAME versions can produce the
directory and file name components:
$<TARGET_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:tgt,prop> = The value of the property prop on the target tgt.
Note that tgt is not added as a dependency of the target this
expression is evaluated on.
$<TARGET_POLICY:pol> = '1' if the policy was NEW when the 'head' target was created, else '0'. If the policy was not set, the warning message for the policy will be emitted. This generator expression only works for a subset of policies.
$<INSTALL_PREFIX> = Content of the install prefix when the target is exported via INSTALL(EXPORT) and empty otherwise.
Boolean expressions:
$<AND:?[,?]...> = '1' if all '?' are '1', else '0'
$<OR:?[,?]...> = '0' if all '?' are '0', else '1'
$<NOT:?> = '0' if '?' is '1', else '1'
where '?' is always either '0' or '1'.
Expressions with an implicit 'this' target:
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:prop> = The value of the property prop on the target on which the generator expression is evaluated.
try_compile
Try building some code.
try_compile(RESULT_VAR <bindir> <srcdir>
<projectName> [targetName] [CMAKE_FLAGS flags...]
[OUTPUT_VARIABLE <var>])
Try building a project. In this form, srcdir should contain a
complete CMake project with a CMakeLists.txt file and all
sources. The bindir and srcdir will not be deleted after this
command is run. Specify targetName to build a specific target
instead of the 'all' or 'ALL_BUILD' target.
try_compile(RESULT_VAR <bindir> <srcfile|SOURCES srcfile...>
[CMAKE_FLAGS flags...]
[COMPILE_DEFINITIONS flags...]
[LINK_LIBRARIES libs...]
[OUTPUT_VARIABLE <var>]
[COPY_FILE <fileName> [COPY_FILE_ERROR <var>]])
Try building an executable from one or more source files. In
this form the user need only supply one or more source files
that include a definition for 'main'. CMake will create a
CMakeLists.txt file to build the source(s) as an executable.
Specify COPY_FILE to get a copy of the linked executable at the
given fileName and optionally COPY_FILE_ERROR to capture any
error.
In this version all files in bindir/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp will be
cleaned automatically. For debugging, --debug-trycompile can be
passed to cmake to avoid this clean. However, multiple sequen‐
tial try_compile operations reuse this single output directory.
If you use --debug-trycompile, you can only debug one try_com‐
pile call at a time. The recommended procedure is to configure
with cmake all the way through once, then delete the cache entry
associated with the try_compile call of interest, and then
re-run cmake again with --debug-trycompile.
Some extra flags that can be included are, INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES,
LINK_DIRECTORIES, and LINK_LIBRARIES. COMPILE_DEFINITIONS are
-Ddefinition that will be passed to the compile line.
The srcfile signature also accepts a LINK_LIBRARIES argument
which may contain a list of libraries or IMPORTED targets which
will be linked to in the generated project. If LINK_LIBRARIES
is specified as a parameter to try_compile, then any
LINK_LIBRARIES passed as CMAKE_FLAGS will be ignored.
try_compile creates a CMakeList.txt file on the fly that looks
like this:
add_definitions( <expanded COMPILE_DEFINITIONS from calling cmake>)
include_directories(${INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES})
link_directories(${LINK_DIRECTORIES})
add_executable(cmTryCompileExec sources)
target_link_libraries(cmTryCompileExec ${LINK_LIBRARIES})
In both versions of the command, if OUTPUT_VARIABLE is speci‐
fied, then the output from the build process is stored in the
given variable. The success or failure of the try_compile, i.e.
TRUE or FALSE respectively, is returned in RESULT_VAR.
CMAKE_FLAGS can be used to pass -DVAR:TYPE=VALUE flags to the
cmake that is run during the build. Set variable CMAKE_TRY_COM‐
PILE_CONFIGURATION to choose a build configuration.
try_run
Try compiling and then running some code.
try_run(RUN_RESULT_VAR COMPILE_RESULT_VAR
bindir srcfile [CMAKE_FLAGS <Flags>]
[COMPILE_DEFINITIONS <flags>]
[COMPILE_OUTPUT_VARIABLE comp]
[RUN_OUTPUT_VARIABLE run]
[OUTPUT_VARIABLE var]
[ARGS <arg1> <arg2>...])
Try compiling a srcfile. Return TRUE or FALSE for success or
failure in COMPILE_RESULT_VAR. Then if the compile succeeded,
run the executable and return its exit code in RUN_RESULT_VAR.
If the executable was built, but failed to run, then
RUN_RESULT_VAR will be set to FAILED_TO_RUN. COMPILE_OUT‐
PUT_VARIABLE specifies the variable where the output from the
compile step goes. RUN_OUTPUT_VARIABLE specifies the variable
where the output from the running executable goes.
For compatibility reasons OUTPUT_VARIABLE is still supported,
which gives you the output from the compile and run step com‐
bined.
Cross compiling issues
When cross compiling, the executable compiled in the first step
usually cannot be run on the build host. try_run() checks the
CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING variable to detect whether CMake is in
crosscompiling mode. If that's the case, it will still try to
compile the executable, but it will not try to run the exe‐
cutable. Instead it will create cache variables which must be
filled by the user or by presetting them in some CMake script
file to the values the executable would have produced if it had
been run on its actual target platform. These variables are
RUN_RESULT_VAR (explanation see above) and if RUN_OUTPUT_VARI‐
ABLE (or OUTPUT_VARIABLE) was used, an additional cache variable
RUN_RESULT_VAR__COMPILE_RESULT_VAR__TRYRUN_OUTPUT.This is
intended to hold stdout and stderr from the executable.
In order to make cross compiling your project easier, use
try_run only if really required. If you use try_run, use
RUN_OUTPUT_VARIABLE (or OUTPUT_VARIABLE) only if really
required. Using them will require that when crosscompiling, the
cache variables will have to be set manually to the output of
the executable. You can also "guard" the calls to try_run with
if(CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING) and provide an easy-to-preset alterna‐
tive for this case.
Set variable CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_CONFIGURATION to choose a build
configuration.
unset Unset a variable, cache variable, or environment variable.
unset(<variable> [CACHE])
Removes the specified variable causing it to become undefined.
If CACHE is present then the variable is removed from the cache
instead of the current scope.
<variable> can be an environment variable such as:
unset(ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH})
in which case the variable will be removed from the current
environment.
variable_watch
Watch the CMake variable for change.
variable_watch(<variable name> [<command to execute>])
If the specified variable changes, the message will be printed
about the variable being changed. If the command is specified,
the command will be executed. The command will receive the fol‐
lowing arguments: COMMAND(<variable> <access> <value> <current
list file> <stack>)
while Evaluate a group of commands while a condition is true
while(condition)
COMMAND1(ARGS ...)
COMMAND2(ARGS ...)
...
endwhile(condition)
All commands between while and the matching endwhile are
recorded without being invoked. Once the endwhile is evaluated,
the recorded list of commands is invoked as long as the condi‐
tion is true. The condition is evaluated using the same logic as
the if command.
PROPERTIES
CMake Properties - Properties supported by CMake, the Cross-Platform Makefile Generator.
This is the documentation for the properties supported by CMake. Prop‐
erties can have different scopes. They can either be assigned to a
source file, a directory, a target or globally to CMake. By modifying
the values of properties the behaviour of the build system can be cus‐
tomized.
PROPERTIES OF GLOBAL SCOPE
ALLOW_DUPLICATE_CUSTOM_TARGETS
Allow duplicate custom targets to be created.
Normally CMake requires that all targets built in a project have
globally unique logical names (see policy CMP0002). This is
necessary to generate meaningful project file names in Xcode and
VS IDE generators. It also allows the target names to be refer‐
enced unambiguously.
Makefile generators are capable of supporting duplicate custom
target names. For projects that care only about Makefile gener‐
ators and do not wish to support Xcode or VS IDE generators, one
may set this property to true to allow duplicate custom targets.
The property allows multiple add_custom_target command calls in
different directories to specify the same target name. However,
setting this property will cause non-Makefile generators to pro‐
duce an error and refuse to generate the project.
AUTOMOC_TARGETS_FOLDER
Name of FOLDER for *_automoc targets that are added automati‐
cally by CMake for targets for which AUTOMOC is enabled.
If not set, CMake uses the FOLDER property of the parent target
as a default value for this property. See also the documentation
for the FOLDER target property and the AUTOMOC target property.
DEBUG_CONFIGURATIONS
Specify which configurations are for debugging.
The value must be a semi-colon separated list of configuration
names. Currently this property is used only by the tar‐
get_link_libraries command (see its documentation for details).
Additional uses may be defined in the future.
This property must be set at the top level of the project and
before the first target_link_libraries command invocation. If
any entry in the list does not match a valid configuration for
the project the behavior is undefined.
DISABLED_FEATURES
List of features which are disabled during the CMake run.
List of features which are disabled during the CMake run. By
default it contains the names of all packages which were not
found. This is determined using the <NAME>_FOUND variables.
Packages which are searched QUIET are not listed. A project can
add its own features to this list. This property is used by the
macros in FeatureSummary.cmake.
ENABLED_FEATURES
List of features which are enabled during the CMake run.
List of features which are enabled during the CMake run. By
default it contains the names of all packages which were found.
This is determined using the <NAME>_FOUND variables. Packages
which are searched QUIET are not listed. A project can add its
own features to this list. This property is used by the macros
in FeatureSummary.cmake.
ENABLED_LANGUAGES
Read-only property that contains the list of currently enabled
languages
Set to list of currently enabled languages.
FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB64_PATHS
Whether FIND_LIBRARY should automatically search lib64 directo‐
ries.
FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB64_PATHS is a boolean specifying whether the
FIND_LIBRARY command should automatically search the lib64 vari‐
ant of directories called lib in the search path when building
64-bit binaries.
FIND_LIBRARY_USE_OPENBSD_VERSIONING
Whether FIND_LIBRARY should find OpenBSD-style shared libraries.
This property is a boolean specifying whether the FIND_LIBRARY
command should find shared libraries with OpenBSD-style ver‐
sioned extension: ".so.<major>.<minor>". The property is set to
true on OpenBSD and false on other platforms.
GLOBAL_DEPENDS_DEBUG_MODE
Enable global target dependency graph debug mode.
CMake automatically analyzes the global inter-target dependency
graph at the beginning of native build system generation. This
property causes it to display details of its analysis to stderr.
GLOBAL_DEPENDS_NO_CYCLES
Disallow global target dependency graph cycles.
CMake automatically analyzes the global inter-target dependency
graph at the beginning of native build system generation. It
reports an error if the dependency graph contains a cycle that
does not consist of all STATIC library targets. This property
tells CMake to disallow all cycles completely, even among static
libraries.
IN_TRY_COMPILE
Read-only property that is true during a try-compile configura‐
tion.
True when building a project inside a TRY_COMPILE or TRY_RUN
command.
PACKAGES_FOUND
List of packages which were found during the CMake run.
List of packages which were found during the CMake run. Whether
a package has been found is determined using the <NAME>_FOUND
variables.
PACKAGES_NOT_FOUND
List of packages which were not found during the CMake run.
List of packages which were not found during the CMake run.
Whether a package has been found is determined using the
<NAME>_FOUND variables.
PREDEFINED_TARGETS_FOLDER
Name of FOLDER for targets that are added automatically by
CMake.
If not set, CMake uses "CMakePredefinedTargets" as a default
value for this property. Targets such as INSTALL, PACKAGE and
RUN_TESTS will be organized into this FOLDER. See also the docu‐
mentation for the FOLDER target property.
REPORT_UNDEFINED_PROPERTIES
If set, report any undefined properties to this file.
If this property is set to a filename then when CMake runs it
will report any properties or variables that were accessed but
not defined into the filename specified in this property.
RULE_LAUNCH_COMPILE
Specify a launcher for compile rules.
Makefile generators prefix compiler commands with the given
launcher command line. This is intended to allow launchers to
intercept build problems with high granularity. Non-Makefile
generators currently ignore this property.
RULE_LAUNCH_CUSTOM
Specify a launcher for custom rules.
Makefile generators prefix custom commands with the given
launcher command line. This is intended to allow launchers to
intercept build problems with high granularity. Non-Makefile
generators currently ignore this property.
RULE_LAUNCH_LINK
Specify a launcher for link rules.
Makefile generators prefix link and archive commands with the
given launcher command line. This is intended to allow launch‐
ers to intercept build problems with high granularity.
Non-Makefile generators currently ignore this property.
RULE_MESSAGES
Specify whether to report a message for each make rule.
This property specifies whether Makefile generators should add a
progress message describing what each build rule does. If the
property is not set the default is ON. Set the property to OFF
to disable granular messages and report only as each target com‐
pletes. This is intended to allow scripted builds to avoid the
build time cost of detailed reports. If a CMAKE_RULE_MESSAGES
cache entry exists its value initializes the value of this prop‐
erty. Non-Makefile generators currently ignore this property.
TARGET_ARCHIVES_MAY_BE_SHARED_LIBS
Set if shared libraries may be named like archives.
On AIX shared libraries may be named "lib<name>.a". This prop‐
erty is set to true on such platforms.
TARGET_SUPPORTS_SHARED_LIBS
Does the target platform support shared libraries.
TARGET_SUPPORTS_SHARED_LIBS is a boolean specifying whether the
target platform supports shared libraries. Basically all current
general general purpose OS do so, the exception are usually
embedded systems with no or special OSs.
USE_FOLDERS
Use the FOLDER target property to organize targets into folders.
If not set, CMake treats this property as OFF by default. CMake
generators that are capable of organizing into a hierarchy of
folders use the values of the FOLDER target property to name
those folders. See also the documentation for the FOLDER target
property.
__CMAKE_DELETE_CACHE_CHANGE_VARS_
Internal property
Used to detect compiler changes, Do not set.
PROPERTIES ON DIRECTORIES
ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES
Additional files to clean during the make clean stage.
A list of files that will be cleaned as a part of the "make
clean" stage.
CACHE_VARIABLES
List of cache variables available in the current directory.
This read-only property specifies the list of CMake cache vari‐
ables currently defined. It is intended for debugging purposes.
CLEAN_NO_CUSTOM
Should the output of custom commands be left.
If this is true then the outputs of custom commands for this
directory will not be removed during the "make clean" stage.
COMPILE_DEFINITIONS
Preprocessor definitions for compiling a directory's sources.
The COMPILE_DEFINITIONS property may be set to a semicolon-sepa‐
rated list of preprocessor definitions using the syntax VAR or
VAR=value. Function-style definitions are not supported. CMake
will automatically escape the value correctly for the native
build system (note that CMake language syntax may require
escapes to specify some values). This property may be set on a
per-configuration basis using the name COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<CON‐
FIG> where <CONFIG> is an upper-case name (ex. "COMPILE_DEFINI‐
TIONS_DEBUG"). This property will be initialized in each direc‐
tory by its value in the directory's parent.
CMake will automatically drop some definitions that are not sup‐
ported by the native build tool. The VS6 IDE does not support
definition values with spaces (but NMake does).
Disclaimer: Most native build tools have poor support for escap‐
ing certain values. CMake has work-arounds for many cases but
some values may just not be possible to pass correctly. If a
value does not seem to be escaped correctly, do not attempt to
work-around the problem by adding escape sequences to the value.
Your work-around may break in a future version of CMake that has
improved escape support. Instead consider defining the macro in
a (configured) header file. Then report the limitation. Known
limitations include:
# - broken almost everywhere
; - broken in VS IDE 7.0 and Borland Makefiles
, - broken in VS IDE
% - broken in some cases in NMake
& | - broken in some cases on MinGW
^ < > \" - broken in most Make tools on Windows
CMake does not reject these values outright because they do work
in some cases. Use with caution.
COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration preprocessor definitions in a directory.
This is the configuration-specific version of COMPILE_DEFINI‐
TIONS. This property will be initialized in each directory by
its value in the directory's parent.
COMPILE_OPTIONS
List of options to pass to the compiler.
This property specifies the list of directories given so far for
this property. This property exists on directories and targets.
The target property values are used by the generators to set the
options for the compiler.
Contents of COMPILE_OPTIONS may use "generator expressions" with
the syntax "$<...>". Generator expressions are evaluated during
build system generation to produce information specific to each
build configuration. Valid expressions are:
$<0:...> = empty string (ignores "...")
$<1:...> = content of "..."
$<CONFIG:cfg> = '1' if config is "cfg", else '0'
$<CONFIGURATION> = configuration name
$<BOOL:...> = '1' if the '...' is true, else '0'
$<STREQUAL:a,b> = '1' if a is STREQUAL b, else '0'
$<ANGLE-R> = A literal '>'. Used to compare strings which contain a '>' for example.
$<COMMA> = A literal ','. Used to compare strings which contain a ',' for example.
$<SEMICOLON> = A literal ';'. Used to prevent list expansion on an argument with ';'.
$<JOIN:list,...> = joins the list with the content of "..."
$<TARGET_NAME:...> = Marks ... as being the name of a target. This is required if exporting targets to multiple dependent export sets. The '...' must be a literal name of a target- it may not contain generator expressions.
$<INSTALL_INTERFACE:...> = content of "..." when the property is exported using install(EXPORT), and empty otherwise.
$<BUILD_INTERFACE:...> = content of "..." when the property is exported using export(), or when the target is used by another target in the same buildsystem. Expands to the empty string otherwise.
$<C_COMPILER_ID> = The CMake-id of the C compiler used.
$<C_COMPILER_ID:comp> = '1' if the CMake-id of the C compiler matches comp, otherwise '0'.
$<CXX_COMPILER_ID> = The CMake-id of the CXX compiler used.
$<CXX_COMPILER_ID:comp> = '1' if the CMake-id of the CXX compiler matches comp, otherwise '0'.
$<VERSION_GREATER:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is a version greater than v2, else '0'.
$<VERSION_LESS:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is a version less than v2, else '0'.
$<VERSION_EQUAL:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is the same version as v2, else '0'.
$<C_COMPILER_VERSION> = The version of the C compiler used.
$<C_COMPILER_VERSION:ver> = '1' if the version of the C compiler matches ver, otherwise '0'.
$<CXX_COMPILER_VERSION> = The version of the CXX compiler used.
$<CXX_COMPILER_VERSION:ver> = '1' if the version of the CXX compiler matches ver, otherwise '0'.
$<TARGET_FILE:tgt> = main file (.exe, .so.1.2, .a)
$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE:tgt> = file used to link (.a, .lib, .so)
$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE:tgt> = file with soname (.so.3)
where "tgt" is the name of a target. Target file expressions
produce a full path, but _DIR and _NAME versions can produce the
directory and file name components:
$<TARGET_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:tgt,prop> = The value of the property prop on the target tgt.
Note that tgt is not added as a dependency of the target this
expression is evaluated on.
$<TARGET_POLICY:pol> = '1' if the policy was NEW when the 'head' target was created, else '0'. If the policy was not set, the warning message for the policy will be emitted. This generator expression only works for a subset of policies.
$<INSTALL_PREFIX> = Content of the install prefix when the target is exported via INSTALL(EXPORT) and empty otherwise.
Boolean expressions:
$<AND:?[,?]...> = '1' if all '?' are '1', else '0'
$<OR:?[,?]...> = '0' if all '?' are '0', else '1'
$<NOT:?> = '0' if '?' is '1', else '1'
where '?' is always either '0' or '1'.
Expressions with an implicit 'this' target:
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:prop> = The value of the property prop on the target on which the generator expression is evaluated.
DEFINITIONS
For CMake 2.4 compatibility only. Use COMPILE_DEFINITIONS
instead.
This read-only property specifies the list of flags given so far
to the add_definitions command. It is intended for debugging
purposes. Use the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS instead.
EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL
Exclude the directory from the all target of its parent.
A property on a directory that indicates if its targets are
excluded from the default build target. If it is not, then with
a Makefile for example typing make will cause the targets to be
built. The same concept applies to the default build of other
generators.
IMPLICIT_DEPENDS_INCLUDE_TRANSFORM
Specify #include line transforms for dependencies in a direc‐
tory.
This property specifies rules to transform macro-like #include
lines during implicit dependency scanning of C and C++ source
files. The list of rules must be semicolon-separated with each
entry of the form "A_MACRO(%)=value-with-%" (the % must be lit‐
eral). During dependency scanning occurrences of A_MACRO(...)
on #include lines will be replaced by the value given with the
macro argument substituted for '%'. For example, the entry
MYDIR(%)=<mydir/%>
will convert lines of the form
#include MYDIR(myheader.h)
to
#include <mydir/myheader.h>
allowing the dependency to be followed.
This property applies to sources in all targets within a direc‐
tory. The property value is initialized in each directory by
its value in the directory's parent.
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
List of preprocessor include file search directories.
This property specifies the list of directories given so far to
the include_directories command. This property exists on direc‐
tories and targets. In addition to accepting values from the
include_directories command, values may be set directly on any
directory or any target using the set_property command. A tar‐
get gets its initial value for this property from the value of
the directory property. A directory gets its initial value from
its parent directory if it has one. Both directory and target
property values are adjusted by calls to the include_directories
command.
The target property values are used by the generators to set the
include paths for the compiler. See also the include_directo‐
ries command.
INCLUDE_REGULAR_EXPRESSION
Include file scanning regular expression.
This read-only property specifies the regular expression used
during dependency scanning to match include files that should be
followed. See the include_regular_expression command.
INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION
Enable interprocedural optimization for targets in a directory.
If set to true, enables interprocedural optimizations if they
are known to be supported by the compiler.
INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration interprocedural optimization for a directory.
This is a per-configuration version of INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZA‐
TION. If set, this property overrides the generic property for
the named configuration.
LINK_DIRECTORIES
List of linker search directories.
This read-only property specifies the list of directories given
so far to the link_directories command. It is intended for
debugging purposes.
LISTFILE_STACK
The current stack of listfiles being processed.
This property is mainly useful when trying to debug errors in
your CMake scripts. It returns a list of what list files are
currently being processed, in order. So if one listfile does an
INCLUDE command then that is effectively pushing the included
listfile onto the stack.
MACROS List of macro commands available in the current directory.
This read-only property specifies the list of CMake macros cur‐
rently defined. It is intended for debugging purposes. See the
macro command.
PARENT_DIRECTORY
Source directory that added current subdirectory.
This read-only property specifies the source directory that
added the current source directory as a subdirectory of the
build. In the top-level directory the value is the
empty-string.
RULE_LAUNCH_COMPILE
Specify a launcher for compile rules.
See the global property of the same name for details. This
overrides the global property for a directory.
RULE_LAUNCH_CUSTOM
Specify a launcher for custom rules.
See the global property of the same name for details. This
overrides the global property for a directory.
RULE_LAUNCH_LINK
Specify a launcher for link rules.
See the global property of the same name for details. This
overrides the global property for a directory.
TEST_INCLUDE_FILE
A cmake file that will be included when ctest is run.
If you specify TEST_INCLUDE_FILE, that file will be included and
processed when ctest is run on the directory.
VARIABLES
List of variables defined in the current directory.
This read-only property specifies the list of CMake variables
currently defined. It is intended for debugging purposes.
VS_GLOBAL_SECTION_POST_<section>
Specify a postSolution global section in Visual Studio.
Setting a property like this generates an entry of the following
form in the solution file:
GlobalSection(<section>) = postSolution
<contents based on property value>
EndGlobalSection
The property must be set to a semicolon-separated list of
key=value pairs. Each such pair will be transformed into an
entry in the solution global section. Whitespace around key and
value is ignored. List elements which do not contain an equal
sign are skipped.
This property only works for Visual Studio 7 and above; it is
ignored on other generators. The property only applies when set
on a directory whose CMakeLists.txt contains a project() com‐
mand.
Note that CMake generates postSolution sections Extensibility‐
Globals and ExtensibilityAddIns by default. If you set the cor‐
responding property, it will override the default section. For
example, setting VS_GLOBAL_SECTION_POST_ExtensibilityGlobals
will override the default contents of the ExtensibilityGlobals
section, while keeping ExtensibilityAddIns on its default.
VS_GLOBAL_SECTION_PRE_<section>
Specify a preSolution global section in Visual Studio.
Setting a property like this generates an entry of the following
form in the solution file:
GlobalSection(<section>) = preSolution
<contents based on property value>
EndGlobalSection
The property must be set to a semicolon-separated list of
key=value pairs. Each such pair will be transformed into an
entry in the solution global section. Whitespace around key and
value is ignored. List elements which do not contain an equal
sign are skipped.
This property only works for Visual Studio 7 and above; it is
ignored on other generators. The property only applies when set
on a directory whose CMakeLists.txt contains a project() com‐
mand.
PROPERTIES ON TARGETS
<CONFIG>_OUTPUT_NAME
Old per-configuration target file base name.
This is a configuration-specific version of OUTPUT_NAME. Use
OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG> instead.
<CONFIG>_POSTFIX
Postfix to append to the target file name for configuration
<CONFIG>.
When building with configuration <CONFIG> the value of this
property is appended to the target file name built on disk. For
non-executable targets, this property is initialized by the
value of the variable CMAKE_<CONFIG>_POSTFIX if it is set when a
target is created. This property is ignored on the Mac for
Frameworks and App Bundles.
<LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET
Value for symbol visibility compile flags
The <LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET property determines the value
passed in a visibility related compile option, such as -fvisi‐
bility= for <LANG>. This property only has an affect for
libraries and executables with exports. This property is ini‐
tialized by the value of the variable CMAKE_<LANG>_VISIBIL‐
ITY_PRESET if it is set when a target is created.
ALIASED_TARGET
Name of target aliased by this target.
If this is an ALIAS target, this property contains the name of
the target aliased.
ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
Output directory in which to build ARCHIVE target files.
This property specifies the directory into which archive target
files should be built. Multi-configuration generators (VS,
Xcode) append a per-configuration subdirectory to the specified
directory. There are three kinds of target files that may be
built: archive, library, and runtime. Executables are always
treated as runtime targets. Static libraries are always treated
as archive targets. Module libraries are always treated as
library targets. For non-DLL platforms shared libraries are
treated as library targets. For DLL platforms the DLL part of a
shared library is treated as a runtime target and the corre‐
sponding import library is treated as an archive target. All
Windows-based systems including Cygwin are DLL platforms. This
property is initialized by the value of the variable CMAKE_AR‐
CHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY if it is set when a target is created.
ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration output directory for ARCHIVE target files.
This is a per-configuration version of ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY,
but multi-configuration generators (VS, Xcode) do NOT append a
per-configuration subdirectory to the specified directory. This
property is initialized by the value of the variable CMAKE_AR‐
CHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG> if it is set when a target is
created.
ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_NAME
Output name for ARCHIVE target files.
This property specifies the base name for archive target files.
It overrides OUTPUT_NAME and OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG> properties.
There are three kinds of target files that may be built: ar‐
chive, library, and runtime. Executables are always treated as
runtime targets. Static libraries are always treated as archive
targets. Module libraries are always treated as library targets.
For non-DLL platforms shared libraries are treated as library
targets. For DLL platforms the DLL part of a shared library is
treated as a runtime target and the corresponding import library
is treated as an archive target. All Windows-based systems
including Cygwin are DLL platforms.
ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration output name for ARCHIVE target files.
This is the configuration-specific version of ARCHIVE_OUT‐
PUT_NAME.
AUTOMOC
Should the target be processed with automoc (for Qt projects).
AUTOMOC is a boolean specifying whether CMake will handle the Qt
moc preprocessor automatically, i.e. without having to use the
QT4_WRAP_CPP() or QT5_WRAP_CPP() macro. Currently Qt4 and Qt5
are supported. When this property is set to TRUE, CMake will
scan the source files at build time and invoke moc accordingly.
If an #include statement like #include "moc_foo.cpp" is found,
the Q_OBJECT class declaration is expected in the header, and
moc is run on the header file. If an #include statement like
#include "foo.moc" is found, then a Q_OBJECT is expected in the
current source file and moc is run on the file itself. Addition‐
ally, all header files are parsed for Q_OBJECT macros, and if
found, moc is also executed on those files. The resulting moc
files, which are not included as shown above in any of the
source files are included in a generated <targetname>_auto‐
moc.cpp file, which is compiled as part of the target.This prop‐
erty is initialized by the value of the variable CMAKE_AUTOMOC
if it is set when a target is created.
Additional command line options for moc can be set via the AUTO‐
MOC_MOC_OPTIONS property.
By setting the CMAKE_AUTOMOC_RELAXED_MODE variable to TRUE the
rules for searching the files which will be processed by moc can
be relaxed. See the documentation for this variable for more
details.
The global property AUTOMOC_TARGETS_FOLDER can be used to group
the automoc targets together in an IDE, e.g. in MSVS.
AUTOMOC_MOC_OPTIONS
Additional options for moc when using automoc (see the AUTOMOC
property)
This property is only used if the AUTOMOC property is set to
TRUE for this target. In this case, it holds additional command
line options which will be used when moc is executed during the
build, i.e. it is equivalent to the optional OPTIONS argument of
the qt4_wrap_cpp() macro.
By default it is empty.
BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH
Should build tree targets have install tree rpaths.
BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH is a boolean specifying whether to link
the target in the build tree with the INSTALL_RPATH. This takes
precedence over SKIP_BUILD_RPATH and avoids the need for relink‐
ing before installation. This property is initialized by the
value of the variable CMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH if it is
set when a target is created.
BUNDLE This target is a CFBundle on the Mac.
If a module library target has this property set to true it will
be built as a CFBundle when built on the mac. It will have the
directory structure required for a CFBundle and will be suitable
to be used for creating Browser Plugins or other application
resources.
BUNDLE_EXTENSION
The file extension used to name a BUNDLE target on the Mac.
The default value is "bundle" - you can also use "plugin" or
whatever file extension is required by the host app for your
bundle.
COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_BOOL
Properties which must be compatible with their link interface
The COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_BOOL property may contain a list of
propertiesfor this target which must be consistent when evalu‐
ated as a boolean in the INTERFACE of all linked dependees. For
example, if a property "FOO" appears in the list, then for each
dependee, the "INTERFACE_FOO" property content in all of its
dependencies must be consistent with each other, and with the
"FOO" property in the dependee. Consistency in this sense has
the meaning that if the property is set, then it must have the
same boolean value as all others, and if the property is not
set, then it is ignored. Note that for each dependee, the set
of properties from this property must not intersect with the set
of properties from the COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_STRING property.
COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_STRING
Properties which must be string-compatible with their link
interface
The COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_STRING property may contain a list of
properties for this target which must be the same when evaluated
as a string in the INTERFACE of all linked dependees. For exam‐
ple, if a property "FOO" appears in the list, then for each
dependee, the "INTERFACE_FOO" property content in all of its
dependencies must be equal with each other, and with the "FOO"
property in the dependee. If the property is not set, then it
is ignored. Note that for each dependee, the set of properties
from this property must not intersect with the set of properties
from the COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_BOOL property.
COMPILE_DEFINITIONS
Preprocessor definitions for compiling a target's sources.
The COMPILE_DEFINITIONS property may be set to a semicolon-sepa‐
rated list of preprocessor definitions using the syntax VAR or
VAR=value. Function-style definitions are not supported. CMake
will automatically escape the value correctly for the native
build system (note that CMake language syntax may require
escapes to specify some values). This property may be set on a
per-configuration basis using the name COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<CON‐
FIG> where <CONFIG> is an upper-case name (ex. "COMPILE_DEFINI‐
TIONS_DEBUG").
CMake will automatically drop some definitions that are not sup‐
ported by the native build tool. The VS6 IDE does not support
definition values with spaces (but NMake does).
Contents of COMPILE_DEFINITIONS may use "generator expressions"
with the syntax "$<...>". Generator expressions are evaluated
during build system generation to produce information specific
to each build configuration. Valid expressions are:
$<0:...> = empty string (ignores "...")
$<1:...> = content of "..."
$<CONFIG:cfg> = '1' if config is "cfg", else '0'
$<CONFIGURATION> = configuration name
$<BOOL:...> = '1' if the '...' is true, else '0'
$<STREQUAL:a,b> = '1' if a is STREQUAL b, else '0'
$<ANGLE-R> = A literal '>'. Used to compare strings which contain a '>' for example.
$<COMMA> = A literal ','. Used to compare strings which contain a ',' for example.
$<SEMICOLON> = A literal ';'. Used to prevent list expansion on an argument with ';'.
$<JOIN:list,...> = joins the list with the content of "..."
$<TARGET_NAME:...> = Marks ... as being the name of a target. This is required if exporting targets to multiple dependent export sets. The '...' must be a literal name of a target- it may not contain generator expressions.
$<INSTALL_INTERFACE:...> = content of "..." when the property is exported using install(EXPORT), and empty otherwise.
$<BUILD_INTERFACE:...> = content of "..." when the property is exported using export(), or when the target is used by another target in the same buildsystem. Expands to the empty string otherwise.
$<C_COMPILER_ID> = The CMake-id of the C compiler used.
$<C_COMPILER_ID:comp> = '1' if the CMake-id of the C compiler matches comp, otherwise '0'.
$<CXX_COMPILER_ID> = The CMake-id of the CXX compiler used.
$<CXX_COMPILER_ID:comp> = '1' if the CMake-id of the CXX compiler matches comp, otherwise '0'.
$<VERSION_GREATER:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is a version greater than v2, else '0'.
$<VERSION_LESS:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is a version less than v2, else '0'.
$<VERSION_EQUAL:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is the same version as v2, else '0'.
$<C_COMPILER_VERSION> = The version of the C compiler used.
$<C_COMPILER_VERSION:ver> = '1' if the version of the C compiler matches ver, otherwise '0'.
$<CXX_COMPILER_VERSION> = The version of the CXX compiler used.
$<CXX_COMPILER_VERSION:ver> = '1' if the version of the CXX compiler matches ver, otherwise '0'.
$<TARGET_FILE:tgt> = main file (.exe, .so.1.2, .a)
$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE:tgt> = file used to link (.a, .lib, .so)
$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE:tgt> = file with soname (.so.3)
where "tgt" is the name of a target. Target file expressions
produce a full path, but _DIR and _NAME versions can produce the
directory and file name components:
$<TARGET_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:tgt,prop> = The value of the property prop on the target tgt.
Note that tgt is not added as a dependency of the target this
expression is evaluated on.
$<TARGET_POLICY:pol> = '1' if the policy was NEW when the 'head' target was created, else '0'. If the policy was not set, the warning message for the policy will be emitted. This generator expression only works for a subset of policies.
$<INSTALL_PREFIX> = Content of the install prefix when the target is exported via INSTALL(EXPORT) and empty otherwise.
Boolean expressions:
$<AND:?[,?]...> = '1' if all '?' are '1', else '0'
$<OR:?[,?]...> = '0' if all '?' are '0', else '1'
$<NOT:?> = '0' if '?' is '1', else '1'
where '?' is always either '0' or '1'.
Expressions with an implicit 'this' target:
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:prop> = The value of the property prop on the target on which the generator expression is evaluated.
Disclaimer: Most native build tools have poor support for escap‐
ing certain values. CMake has work-arounds for many cases but
some values may just not be possible to pass correctly. If a
value does not seem to be escaped correctly, do not attempt to
work-around the problem by adding escape sequences to the value.
Your work-around may break in a future version of CMake that has
improved escape support. Instead consider defining the macro in
a (configured) header file. Then report the limitation. Known
limitations include:
# - broken almost everywhere
; - broken in VS IDE 7.0 and Borland Makefiles
, - broken in VS IDE
% - broken in some cases in NMake
& | - broken in some cases on MinGW
^ < > \" - broken in most Make tools on Windows
CMake does not reject these values outright because they do work
in some cases. Use with caution.
COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration preprocessor definitions on a target.
This is the configuration-specific version of COMPILE_DEFINI‐
TIONS.
COMPILE_FLAGS
Additional flags to use when compiling this target's sources.
The COMPILE_FLAGS property sets additional compiler flags used
to build sources within the target. Use COMPILE_DEFINITIONS to
pass additional preprocessor definitions.
COMPILE_OPTIONS
List of options to pass to the compiler.
This property specifies the list of options specified so far for
this property. This property exists on directories and targets.
The target property values are used by the generators to set the
options for the compiler.
Contents of COMPILE_OPTIONS may use "generator expressions" with
the syntax "$<...>". Generator expressions are evaluated during
build system generation to produce information specific to each
build configuration. Valid expressions are:
$<0:...> = empty string (ignores "...")
$<1:...> = content of "..."
$<CONFIG:cfg> = '1' if config is "cfg", else '0'
$<CONFIGURATION> = configuration name
$<BOOL:...> = '1' if the '...' is true, else '0'
$<STREQUAL:a,b> = '1' if a is STREQUAL b, else '0'
$<ANGLE-R> = A literal '>'. Used to compare strings which contain a '>' for example.
$<COMMA> = A literal ','. Used to compare strings which contain a ',' for example.
$<SEMICOLON> = A literal ';'. Used to prevent list expansion on an argument with ';'.
$<JOIN:list,...> = joins the list with the content of "..."
$<TARGET_NAME:...> = Marks ... as being the name of a target. This is required if exporting targets to multiple dependent export sets. The '...' must be a literal name of a target- it may not contain generator expressions.
$<INSTALL_INTERFACE:...> = content of "..." when the property is exported using install(EXPORT), and empty otherwise.
$<BUILD_INTERFACE:...> = content of "..." when the property is exported using export(), or when the target is used by another target in the same buildsystem. Expands to the empty string otherwise.
$<C_COMPILER_ID> = The CMake-id of the C compiler used.
$<C_COMPILER_ID:comp> = '1' if the CMake-id of the C compiler matches comp, otherwise '0'.
$<CXX_COMPILER_ID> = The CMake-id of the CXX compiler used.
$<CXX_COMPILER_ID:comp> = '1' if the CMake-id of the CXX compiler matches comp, otherwise '0'.
$<VERSION_GREATER:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is a version greater than v2, else '0'.
$<VERSION_LESS:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is a version less than v2, else '0'.
$<VERSION_EQUAL:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is the same version as v2, else '0'.
$<C_COMPILER_VERSION> = The version of the C compiler used.
$<C_COMPILER_VERSION:ver> = '1' if the version of the C compiler matches ver, otherwise '0'.
$<CXX_COMPILER_VERSION> = The version of the CXX compiler used.
$<CXX_COMPILER_VERSION:ver> = '1' if the version of the CXX compiler matches ver, otherwise '0'.
$<TARGET_FILE:tgt> = main file (.exe, .so.1.2, .a)
$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE:tgt> = file used to link (.a, .lib, .so)
$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE:tgt> = file with soname (.so.3)
where "tgt" is the name of a target. Target file expressions
produce a full path, but _DIR and _NAME versions can produce the
directory and file name components:
$<TARGET_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:tgt,prop> = The value of the property prop on the target tgt.
Note that tgt is not added as a dependency of the target this
expression is evaluated on.
$<TARGET_POLICY:pol> = '1' if the policy was NEW when the 'head' target was created, else '0'. If the policy was not set, the warning message for the policy will be emitted. This generator expression only works for a subset of policies.
$<INSTALL_PREFIX> = Content of the install prefix when the target is exported via INSTALL(EXPORT) and empty otherwise.
Boolean expressions:
$<AND:?[,?]...> = '1' if all '?' are '1', else '0'
$<OR:?[,?]...> = '0' if all '?' are '0', else '1'
$<NOT:?> = '0' if '?' is '1', else '1'
where '?' is always either '0' or '1'.
Expressions with an implicit 'this' target:
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:prop> = The value of the property prop on the target on which the generator expression is evaluated.
DEBUG_POSTFIX
See target property <CONFIG>_POSTFIX.
This property is a special case of the more-general <CON‐
FIG>_POSTFIX property for the DEBUG configuration.
DEFINE_SYMBOL
Define a symbol when compiling this target's sources.
DEFINE_SYMBOL sets the name of the preprocessor symbol defined
when compiling sources in a shared library. If not set here then
it is set to target_EXPORTS by default (with some substitutions
if the target is not a valid C identifier). This is useful for
headers to know whether they are being included from inside
their library or outside to properly setup dllexport/dllimport
decorations.
ENABLE_EXPORTS
Specify whether an executable exports symbols for loadable mod‐
ules.
Normally an executable does not export any symbols because it is
the final program. It is possible for an executable to export
symbols to be used by loadable modules. When this property is
set to true CMake will allow other targets to "link" to the exe‐
cutable with the TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES command. On all plat‐
forms a target-level dependency on the executable is created for
targets that link to it. For DLL platforms an import library
will be created for the exported symbols and then used for link‐
ing. All Windows-based systems including Cygwin are DLL plat‐
forms. For non-DLL platforms that require all symbols to be
resolved at link time, such as Mac OS X, the module will "link"
to the executable using a flag like "-bundle_loader". For other
non-DLL platforms the link rule is simply ignored since the
dynamic loader will automatically bind symbols when the module
is loaded.
EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL
Exclude the target from the all target.
A property on a target that indicates if the target is excluded
from the default build target. If it is not, then with a Make‐
file for example typing make will cause this target to be built.
The same concept applies to the default build of other genera‐
tors. Installing a target with EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL set to true has
undefined behavior.
EXCLUDE_FROM_DEFAULT_BUILD
Exclude target from "Build Solution".
This property is only used by Visual Studio generators 7 and
above. When set to TRUE, the target will not be built when you
press "Build Solution".
EXCLUDE_FROM_DEFAULT_BUILD_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration version of target exclusion from "Build Solu‐
tion".
This is the configuration-specific version of
EXCLUDE_FROM_DEFAULT_BUILD. If the generic
EXCLUDE_FROM_DEFAULT_BUILD is also set on a target,
EXCLUDE_FROM_DEFAULT_BUILD_<CONFIG> takes precedence in configu‐
rations for which it has a value.
EXPORT_NAME
Exported name for target files.
This sets the name for the IMPORTED target generated when it
this target is is exported. If not set, the logical target name
is used by default.
EchoString
A message to be displayed when the target is built.
A message to display on some generators (such as makefiles) when
the target is built.
FOLDER Set the folder name. Use to organize targets in an IDE.
Targets with no FOLDER property will appear as top level enti‐
ties in IDEs like Visual Studio. Targets with the same FOLDER
property value will appear next to each other in a folder of
that name. To nest folders, use FOLDER values such as
'GUI/Dialogs' with '/' characters separating folder levels.
FRAMEWORK
This target is a framework on the Mac.
If a shared library target has this property set to true it will
be built as a framework when built on the mac. It will have the
directory structure required for a framework and will be suit‐
able to be used with the -framework option
Fortran_FORMAT
Set to FIXED or FREE to indicate the Fortran source layout.
This property tells CMake whether the Fortran source files in a
target use fixed-format or free-format. CMake will pass the
corresponding format flag to the compiler. Use the source-spe‐
cific Fortran_FORMAT property to change the format of a specific
source file. If the variable CMAKE_Fortran_FORMAT is set when a
target is created its value is used to initialize this property.
Fortran_MODULE_DIRECTORY
Specify output directory for Fortran modules provided by the
target.
If the target contains Fortran source files that provide modules
and the compiler supports a module output directory this speci‐
fies the directory in which the modules will be placed. When
this property is not set the modules will be placed in the build
directory corresponding to the target's source directory. If
the variable CMAKE_Fortran_MODULE_DIRECTORY is set when a target
is created its value is used to initialize this property.
Note that some compilers will automatically search the module
output directory for modules USEd during compilation but others
will not. If your sources USE modules their location must be
specified by INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES regardless of this property.
GENERATOR_FILE_NAME
Generator's file for this target.
An internal property used by some generators to record the name
of the project or dsp file associated with this target. Note
that at configure time, this property is only set for targets
created by include_external_msproject().
GNUtoMS
Convert GNU import library (.dll.a) to MS format (.lib).
When linking a shared library or executable that exports symbols
using GNU tools on Windows (MinGW/MSYS) with Visual Studio
installed convert the import library (.dll.a) from GNU to MS
format (.lib). Both import libraries will be installed by
install(TARGETS) and exported by install(EXPORT) and export() to
be linked by applications with either GNU- or MS-compatible
tools.
If the variable CMAKE_GNUtoMS is set when a target is created
its value is used to initialize this property. The variable
must be set prior to the first command that enables a language
such as project() or enable_language(). CMake provides the
variable as an option to the user automatically when configuring
on Windows with GNU tools.
HAS_CXX
Link the target using the C++ linker tool (obsolete).
This is equivalent to setting the LINKER_LANGUAGE property to
CXX. See that property's documentation for details.
IMPLICIT_DEPENDS_INCLUDE_TRANSFORM
Specify #include line transforms for dependencies in a target.
This property specifies rules to transform macro-like #include
lines during implicit dependency scanning of C and C++ source
files. The list of rules must be semicolon-separated with each
entry of the form "A_MACRO(%)=value-with-%" (the % must be lit‐
eral). During dependency scanning occurrences of A_MACRO(...)
on #include lines will be replaced by the value given with the
macro argument substituted for '%'. For example, the entry
MYDIR(%)=<mydir/%>
will convert lines of the form
#include MYDIR(myheader.h)
to
#include <mydir/myheader.h>
allowing the dependency to be followed.
This property applies to sources in the target on which it is
set.
IMPORTED
Read-only indication of whether a target is IMPORTED.
The boolean value of this property is true for targets created
with the IMPORTED option to add_executable or add_library. It
is false for targets built within the project.
IMPORTED_CONFIGURATIONS
Configurations provided for an IMPORTED target.
Set this to the list of configuration names available for an
IMPORTED target. The names correspond to configurations defined
in the project from which the target is imported. If the
importing project uses a different set of configurations the
names may be mapped using the MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_<CONFIG> prop‐
erty. Ignored for non-imported targets.
IMPORTED_IMPLIB
Full path to the import library for an IMPORTED target.
Set this to the location of the ".lib" part of a windows DLL.
Ignored for non-imported targets.
IMPORTED_IMPLIB_<CONFIG>
<CONFIG>-specific version of IMPORTED_IMPLIB property.
Configuration names correspond to those provided by the project
from which the target is imported.
IMPORTED_LINK_DEPENDENT_LIBRARIES
Dependent shared libraries of an imported shared library.
Shared libraries may be linked to other shared libraries as part
of their implementation. On some platforms the linker searches
for the dependent libraries of shared libraries they are includ‐
ing in the link. Set this property to the list of dependent
shared libraries of an imported library. The list should be
disjoint from the list of interface libraries in the INTER‐
FACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property. On platforms requiring dependent
shared libraries to be found at link time CMake uses this list
to add appropriate files or paths to the link command line.
Ignored for non-imported targets.
IMPORTED_LINK_DEPENDENT_LIBRARIES_<CONFIG>
<CONFIG>-specific version of IMPORTED_LINK_DEPENDENT_LIBRARIES.
Configuration names correspond to those provided by the project
from which the target is imported. If set, this property com‐
pletely overrides the generic property for the named configura‐
tion.
IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LANGUAGES
Languages compiled into an IMPORTED static library.
Set this to the list of languages of source files compiled to
produce a STATIC IMPORTED library (such as "C" or "CXX"). CMake
accounts for these languages when computing how to link a target
to the imported library. For example, when a C executable links
to an imported C++ static library CMake chooses the C++ linker
to satisfy language runtime dependencies of the static library.
This property is ignored for targets that are not STATIC
libraries. This property is ignored for non-imported targets.
IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LANGUAGES_<CONFIG>
<CONFIG>-specific version of IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LANGUAGES.
Configuration names correspond to those provided by the project
from which the target is imported. If set, this property com‐
pletely overrides the generic property for the named configura‐
tion.
IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES
Transitive link interface of an IMPORTED target.
Set this to the list of libraries whose interface is included
when an IMPORTED library target is linked to another target.
The libraries will be included on the link line for the target.
Unlike the LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES property, this property
applies to all imported target types, including STATIC
libraries. This property is ignored for non-imported targets.
This property is ignored if the target also has a non-empty
INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property.
This property is deprecated. Use INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES
instead.
IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_<CONFIG>
<CONFIG>-specific version of IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES.
Configuration names correspond to those provided by the project
from which the target is imported. If set, this property com‐
pletely overrides the generic property for the named configura‐
tion.
This property is ignored if the target also has a non-empty
INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property.
This property is deprecated. Use INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES
instead.
IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLICITY
Repetition count for cycles of IMPORTED static libraries.
This is LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLICITY for IMPORTED targets.
IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLICITY_<CONFIG>
<CONFIG>-specific version of IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLIC‐
ITY.
If set, this property completely overrides the generic property
for the named configuration.
IMPORTED_LOCATION
Full path to the main file on disk for an IMPORTED target.
Set this to the location of an IMPORTED target file on disk.
For executables this is the location of the executable file.
For bundles on OS X this is the location of the executable file
inside Contents/MacOS under the application bundle folder. For
static libraries and modules this is the location of the library
or module. For shared libraries on non-DLL platforms this is
the location of the shared library. For frameworks on OS X this
is the location of the library file symlink just inside the
framework folder. For DLLs this is the location of the ".dll"
part of the library. For UNKNOWN libraries this is the location
of the file to be linked. Ignored for non-imported targets.
Projects may skip IMPORTED_LOCATION if the configuration-spe‐
cific property IMPORTED_LOCATION_<CONFIG> is set. To get the
location of an imported target read one of the LOCATION or LOCA‐
TION_<CONFIG> properties.
IMPORTED_LOCATION_<CONFIG>
<CONFIG>-specific version of IMPORTED_LOCATION property.
Configuration names correspond to those provided by the project
from which the target is imported.
IMPORTED_NO_SONAME
Specifies that an IMPORTED shared library target has no "son‐
ame".
Set this property to true for an imported shared library file
that has no "soname" field. CMake may adjust generated link
commands for some platforms to prevent the linker from using the
path to the library in place of its missing soname. Ignored for
non-imported targets.
IMPORTED_NO_SONAME_<CONFIG>
<CONFIG>-specific version of IMPORTED_NO_SONAME property.
Configuration names correspond to those provided by the project
from which the target is imported.
IMPORTED_SONAME
The "soname" of an IMPORTED target of shared library type.
Set this to the "soname" embedded in an imported shared library.
This is meaningful only on platforms supporting the feature.
Ignored for non-imported targets.
IMPORTED_SONAME_<CONFIG>
<CONFIG>-specific version of IMPORTED_SONAME property.
Configuration names correspond to those provided by the project
from which the target is imported.
IMPORT_PREFIX
What comes before the import library name.
Similar to the target property PREFIX, but used for import
libraries (typically corresponding to a DLL) instead of regular
libraries. A target property that can be set to override the
prefix (such as "lib") on an import library name.
IMPORT_SUFFIX
What comes after the import library name.
Similar to the target property SUFFIX, but used for import
libraries (typically corresponding to a DLL) instead of regular
libraries. A target property that can be set to override the
suffix (such as ".lib") on an import library name.
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
List of preprocessor include file search directories.
This property specifies the list of directories given so far to
the include_directories command. This property exists on direc‐
tories and targets. In addition to accepting values from the
include_directories command, values may be set directly on any
directory or any target using the set_property command. A target
gets its initial value for this property from the value of the
directory property. A directory gets its initial value from its
parent directory if it has one. Both directory and target prop‐
erty values are adjusted by calls to the include_directories
command.
The target property values are used by the generators to set the
include paths for the compiler. See also the include_directo‐
ries command.
Contents of INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES may use "generator expressions"
with the syntax "$<...>". Generator expressions are evaluated
during build system generation to produce information specific
to each build configuration. Valid expressions are:

INTERFACE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE
Whether consumers need to create a position-independent target
The INTERFACE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE property informs con‐
sumers of this target whether they must set their POSITION_INDE‐
PENDENT_CODE property to ON. If this property is set to ON,
then the POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE property on all consumers
will be set to ON. Similarly, if this property is set to OFF,
then the POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE property on all consumers
will be set to OFF. If this property is undefined, then con‐

FACE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE property.
INTERFACE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
List of public system include directories for a library.
Targets may populate this property to publish the include direc‐

INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration interprocedural optimization for a target.
This is a per-configuration version of INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZA‐
TION. If set, this property overrides the generic property for
the named configuration.
LABELS Specify a list of text labels associated with a target.
Target label semantics are currently unspecified.
LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
Output directory in which to build LIBRARY target files.
This property specifies the directory into which library target
files should be built. Multi-configuration generators (VS,
Xcode) append a per-configuration subdirectory to the specified
directory. There are three kinds of target files that may be
built: archive, library, and runtime. Executables are always
treated as runtime targets. Static libraries are always treated
as archive targets. Module libraries are always treated as
library targets. For non-DLL platforms shared libraries are
treated as library targets. For DLL platforms the DLL part of a
shared library is treated as a runtime target and the corre‐
sponding import library is treated as an archive target. All
Windows-based systems including Cygwin are DLL platforms. This
property is initialized by the value of the variable
CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY if it is set when a target is
created.
LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration output directory for LIBRARY target files.
This is a per-configuration version of LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY,
but multi-configuration generators (VS, Xcode) do NOT append a
per-configuration subdirectory to the specified directory. This
property is initialized by the value of the variable
CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG> if it is set when a tar‐
get is created.
LIBRARY_OUTPUT_NAME
Output name for LIBRARY target files.
This property specifies the base name for library target files.
It overrides OUTPUT_NAME and OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG> properties.
There are three kinds of target files that may be built: ar‐
chive, library, and runtime. Executables are always treated as
runtime targets. Static libraries are always treated as archive
targets. Module libraries are always treated as library targets.
For non-DLL platforms shared libraries are treated as library
targets. For DLL platforms the DLL part of a shared library is
treated as a runtime target and the corresponding import library
is treated as an archive target. All Windows-based systems
including Cygwin are DLL platforms.
LIBRARY_OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration output name for LIBRARY target files.
This is the configuration-specific version of LIBRARY_OUT‐
PUT_NAME.
LINKER_LANGUAGE
Specifies language whose compiler will invoke the linker.
For executables, shared libraries, and modules, this sets the
language whose compiler is used to link the target (such as "C"
or "CXX"). A typical value for an executable is the language of
the source file providing the program entry point (main). If
not set, the language with the highest linker preference value
is the default. See documentation of CMAKE_<LANG>_LINKER_PREF‐
ERENCE variables.
If this property is not set by the user, it will be calculated
at generate-time by CMake.
LINK_DEPENDS
Additional files on which a target binary depends for linking.
Specifies a semicolon-separated list of full-paths to files on
which the link rule for this target depends. The target binary
will be linked if any of the named files is newer than it.
This property is ignored by non-Makefile generators. It is
intended to specify dependencies on "linker scripts" for custom
Makefile link rules.
LINK_DEPENDS_NO_SHARED
Do not depend on linked shared library files.
Set this property to true to tell CMake generators not to add
file-level dependencies on the shared library files linked by
this target. Modification to the shared libraries will not be
sufficient to re-link this target. Logical target-level depen‐
dencies will not be affected so the linked shared libraries will
still be brought up to date before this target is built.
This property is initialized by the value of the variable
CMAKE_LINK_DEPENDS_NO_SHARED if it is set when a target is cre‐
ated.
LINK_FLAGS
Additional flags to use when linking this target.
The LINK_FLAGS property can be used to add extra flags to the
link step of a target. LINK_FLAGS_<CONFIG> will add to the con‐
figuration <CONFIG>, for example, DEBUG, RELEASE, MINSIZEREL,
RELWITHDEBINFO.
LINK_FLAGS_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration linker flags for a target.
This is the configuration-specific version of LINK_FLAGS.
LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES
List public interface libraries for a shared library or exe‐
cutable.
By default linking to a shared library target transitively links
to targets with which the library itself was linked. For an
executable with exports (see the ENABLE_EXPORTS property) no
default transitive link dependencies are used. This property
replaces the default transitive link dependencies with an
explicit list. When the target is linked into another target
the libraries listed (and recursively their link interface
libraries) will be provided to the other target also. If the
list is empty then no transitive link dependencies will be
incorporated when this target is linked into another target even
if the default set is non-empty. This property is initialized
by the value of the variable CMAKE_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES if
it is set when a target is created. This property is ignored
for STATIC libraries.
This property is overriden by the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES prop‐
erty if policy CMP0022 is NEW.
This property is deprecated. Use INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES
instead.
LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration list of public interface libraries for a tar‐
get.
This is the configuration-specific version of LINK_INTER‐
FACE_LIBRARIES. If set, this property completely overrides the
generic property for the named configuration.
This property is overriden by the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES prop‐
erty if policy CMP0022 is NEW.
This property is deprecated. Use INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES
instead.
LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLICITY
Repetition count for STATIC libraries with cyclic dependencies.
When linking to a STATIC library target with cyclic dependencies
the linker may need to scan more than once through the archives
in the strongly connected component of the dependency graph.
CMake by default constructs the link line so that the linker
will scan through the component at least twice. This property
specifies the minimum number of scans if it is larger than the
default. CMake uses the largest value specified by any target
in a component.
LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLICITY_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration repetition count for cycles of STATIC
libraries.
This is the configuration-specific version of LINK_INTER‐
FACE_MULTIPLICITY. If set, this property completely overrides
the generic property for the named configuration.
LINK_LIBRARIES
List of direct link dependencies.
This property specifies the list of libraries or targets which
will be used for linking. In addition to accepting values from
the target_link_libraries command, values may be set directly on
any target using the set_property command.
The target property values are used by the generators to set the
link libraries for the compiler. See also the tar‐
get_link_libraries command.
Contents of LINK_LIBRARIES may use "generator expressions" with
the syntax "$<...>". Generator expressions are evaluated during
build system generation to produce information specific to each
build configuration. Valid expressions are:
$<0:...> = empty string (ignores "...")
$<1:...> = content of "..."
$<CONFIG:cfg> = '1' if config is "cfg", else '0'
$<CONFIGURATION> = configuration name
$<BOOL:...> = '1' if the '...' is true, else '0'
$<STREQUAL:a,b> = '1' if a is STREQUAL b, else '0'
$<ANGLE-R> = A literal '>'. Used to compare strings which contain a '>' for example.
$<COMMA> = A literal ','. Used to compare strings which contain a ',' for example.
$<SEMICOLON> = A literal ';'. Used to prevent list expansion on an argument with ';'.
$<JOIN:list,...> = joins the list with the content of "..."
$<TARGET_NAME:...> = Marks ... as being the name of a target. This is required if exporting targets to multiple dependent export sets. The '...' must be a literal name of a target- it may not contain generator expressions.
$<INSTALL_INTERFACE:...> = content of "..." when the property is exported using install(EXPORT), and empty otherwise.
$<BUILD_INTERFACE:...> = content of "..." when the property is exported using export(), or when the target is used by another target in the same buildsystem. Expands to the empty string otherwise.
$<C_COMPILER_ID> = The CMake-id of the C compiler used.
$<C_COMPILER_ID:comp> = '1' if the CMake-id of the C compiler matches comp, otherwise '0'.
$<CXX_COMPILER_ID> = The CMake-id of the CXX compiler used.
$<CXX_COMPILER_ID:comp> = '1' if the CMake-id of the CXX compiler matches comp, otherwise '0'.
$<VERSION_GREATER:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is a version greater than v2, else '0'.
$<VERSION_LESS:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is a version less than v2, else '0'.
$<VERSION_EQUAL:v1,v2> = '1' if v1 is the same version as v2, else '0'.
$<C_COMPILER_VERSION> = The version of the C compiler used.
$<C_COMPILER_VERSION:ver> = '1' if the version of the C compiler matches ver, otherwise '0'.
$<CXX_COMPILER_VERSION> = The version of the CXX compiler used.
$<CXX_COMPILER_VERSION:ver> = '1' if the version of the CXX compiler matches ver, otherwise '0'.
$<TARGET_FILE:tgt> = main file (.exe, .so.1.2, .a)
$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE:tgt> = file used to link (.a, .lib, .so)
$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE:tgt> = file with soname (.so.3)
where "tgt" is the name of a target. Target file expressions
produce a full path, but _DIR and _NAME versions can produce the
directory and file name components:
$<TARGET_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE_NAME:tgt>
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:tgt,prop> = The value of the property prop on the target tgt.
Note that tgt is not added as a dependency of the target this
expression is evaluated on.
$<TARGET_POLICY:pol> = '1' if the policy was NEW when the 'head' target was created, else '0'. If the policy was not set, the warning message for the policy will be emitted. This generator expression only works for a subset of policies.
$<INSTALL_PREFIX> = Content of the install prefix when the target is exported via INSTALL(EXPORT) and empty otherwise.
Boolean expressions:
$<AND:?[,?]...> = '1' if all '?' are '1', else '0'
$<OR:?[,?]...> = '0' if all '?' are '0', else '1'
$<NOT:?> = '0' if '?' is '1', else '1'
where '?' is always either '0' or '1'.
Expressions with an implicit 'this' target:
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:prop> = The value of the property prop on the target on which the generator expression is evaluated.
LINK_SEARCH_END_STATIC
End a link line such that static system libraries are used.
Some linkers support switches such as -Bstatic and -Bdynamic to
determine whether to use static or shared libraries for -lXXX
options. CMake uses these options to set the link type for
libraries whose full paths are not known or (in some cases) are
in implicit link directories for the platform. By default CMake
adds an option at the end of the library list (if necessary) to
set the linker search type back to its starting type. This
property switches the final linker search type to -Bstatic
regardless of how it started. See also
LINK_SEARCH_START_STATIC.
LINK_SEARCH_START_STATIC
Assume the linker looks for static libraries by default.
Some linkers support switches such as -Bstatic and -Bdynamic to
determine whether to use static or shared libraries for -lXXX
options. CMake uses these options to set the link type for
libraries whose full paths are not known or (in some cases) are
in implicit link directories for the platform. By default the
linker search type is assumed to be -Bdynamic at the beginning
of the library list. This property switches the assumption to
-Bstatic. It is intended for use when linking an executable
statically (e.g. with the GNU -static option). See also
LINK_SEARCH_END_STATIC.
LOCATION
Read-only location of a target on disk.
For an imported target, this read-only property returns the
value of the LOCATION_<CONFIG> property for an unspecified con‐
figuration <CONFIG> provided by the target.
For a non-imported target, this property is provided for compat‐
ibility with CMake 2.4 and below. It was meant to get the loca‐
tion of an executable target's output file for use in add_cus‐
tom_command. The path may contain a build-system-specific por‐
tion that is replaced at build time with the configuration get‐
ting built (such as "$(ConfigurationName)" in VS). In CMake 2.6
and above add_custom_command automatically recognizes a target
name in its COMMAND and DEPENDS options and computes the target
location. In CMake 2.8.4 and above add_custom_command recog‐
nizes generator expressions to refer to target locations any‐
where in the command. Therefore this property is not needed for
creating custom commands.
Do not set properties that affect the location of a target after
reading this property. These include properties whose names
match "(RUNTIME|LIBRARY|ARCHIVE)_OUTPUT_(NAME|DIRECTORY)(_<CON‐
FIG>)?", "(IMPLIB_)?(PREFIX|SUFFIX)", or "LINKER_LANGUAGE".
Failure to follow this rule is not diagnosed and leaves the
location of the target undefined.
LOCATION_<CONFIG>
Read-only property providing a target location on disk.
A read-only property that indicates where a target's main file
is located on disk for the configuration <CONFIG>. The property
is defined only for library and executable targets. An imported
target may provide a set of configurations different from that
of the importing project. By default CMake looks for an
exact-match but otherwise uses an arbitrary available configura‐
tion. Use the MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_<CONFIG> property to map
imported configurations explicitly.
Do not set properties that affect the location of a target after
reading this property. These include properties whose names
match "(RUNTIME|LIBRARY|ARCHIVE)_OUTPUT_(NAME|DIRECTORY)(_<CON‐
FIG>)?", "(IMPLIB_)?(PREFIX|SUFFIX)", or "LINKER_LANGUAGE".
Failure to follow this rule is not diagnosed and leaves the
location of the target undefined.
MACOSX_BUNDLE
Build an executable as an application bundle on Mac OS X.
When this property is set to true the executable when built on
Mac OS X will be created as an application bundle. This makes
it a GUI executable that can be launched from the Finder. See
the MACOSX_BUNDLE_INFO_PLIST target property for information
about creation of the Info.plist file for the application bun‐
dle. This property is initialized by the value of the variable
CMAKE_MACOSX_BUNDLE if it is set when a target is created.
MACOSX_BUNDLE_INFO_PLIST
Specify a custom Info.plist template for a Mac OS X App Bundle.
An executable target with MACOSX_BUNDLE enabled will be built as
an application bundle on Mac OS X. By default its Info.plist
file is created by configuring a template called MacOSXBundle‐
Info.plist.in located in the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH. This property
specifies an alternative template file name which may be a full
path.
The following target properties may be set to specify content to
be configured into the file:
MACOSX_BUNDLE_INFO_STRING
MACOSX_BUNDLE_ICON_FILE
MACOSX_BUNDLE_GUI_IDENTIFIER
MACOSX_BUNDLE_LONG_VERSION_STRING
MACOSX_BUNDLE_BUNDLE_NAME
MACOSX_BUNDLE_SHORT_VERSION_STRING
MACOSX_BUNDLE_BUNDLE_VERSION
MACOSX_BUNDLE_COPYRIGHT
CMake variables of the same name may be set to affect all tar‐
gets in a directory that do not have each specific property set.
If a custom Info.plist is specified by this property it may of
course hard-code all the settings instead of using the target
properties.
MACOSX_FRAMEWORK_INFO_PLIST
Specify a custom Info.plist template for a Mac OS X Framework.
A library target with FRAMEWORK enabled will be built as a
framework on Mac OS X. By default its Info.plist file is cre‐
ated by configuring a template called MacOSXFramework‐
Info.plist.in located in the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH. This property
specifies an alternative template file name which may be a full
path.
The following target properties may be set to specify content to
be configured into the file:
MACOSX_FRAMEWORK_ICON_FILE
MACOSX_FRAMEWORK_IDENTIFIER
MACOSX_FRAMEWORK_SHORT_VERSION_STRING
MACOSX_FRAMEWORK_BUNDLE_VERSION
CMake variables of the same name may be set to affect all tar‐
gets in a directory that do not have each specific property set.
If a custom Info.plist is specified by this property it may of
course hard-code all the settings instead of using the target
properties.
MACOSX_RPATH
Whether to use rpaths on Mac OS X.
When this property is set to true, the directory portion of
the"install_name" field of shared libraries will default to
"@rpath".Runtime paths will also be embedded in binaries using
this target.This property is initialized by the value of the
variable CMAKE_MACOSX_RPATH if it is set when a target is cre‐
ated.
MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_<CONFIG>
Map from project configuration to IMPORTED target's configura‐
tion.
Set this to the list of configurations of an imported target
that may be used for the current project's <CONFIG> configura‐
tion. Targets imported from another project may not provide the
same set of configuration names available in the current
project. Setting this property tells CMake what imported con‐
figurations are suitable for use when building the <CONFIG> con‐
figuration. The first configuration in the list found to be
provided by the imported target is selected. If this property
is set and no matching configurations are available, then the
imported target is considered to be not found. This property is
ignored for non-imported targets.
NAME Logical name for the target.
Read-only logical name for the target as used by CMake.
NO_SONAME
Whether to set "soname" when linking a shared library or module.
Enable this boolean property if a generated shared library or
module should not have "soname" set. Default is to set "soname"
on all shared libraries and modules as long as the platform sup‐
ports it. Generally, use this property only for leaf private
libraries or plugins. If you use it on normal shared libraries
which other targets link against, on some platforms a linker
will insert a full path to the library (as specified at link
time) into the dynamic section of the dependent binary. There‐
fore, once installed, dynamic loader may eventually fail to
locate the library for the binary.
OSX_ARCHITECTURES
Target specific architectures for OS X.
The OSX_ARCHITECTURES property sets the target binary architec‐
ture for targets on OS X. This property is initialized by the
value of the variable CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES if it is set when
a target is created. Use OSX_ARCHITECTURES_<CONFIG> to set the
binary architectures on a per-configuration basis. <CONFIG> is
an upper-case name (ex: "OSX_ARCHITECTURES_DEBUG").
OSX_ARCHITECTURES_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration OS X binary architectures for a target.
This property is the configuration-specific version of
OSX_ARCHITECTURES.
OUTPUT_NAME
Output name for target files.
This sets the base name for output files created for an exe‐
cutable or library target. If not set, the logical target name
is used by default.
OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration target file base name.
This is the configuration-specific version of OUTPUT_NAME.
PDB_NAME
Output name for MS debug symbols .pdb file from linker.
Set the base name for debug symbols file created for an exe‐
cutable or shared library target. If not set, the logical tar‐
get name is used by default.
This property is not implemented by the Visual Studio 6 genera‐
tor.
PDB_NAME_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration name for MS debug symbols .pdb file.
This is the configuration-specific version of PDB_NAME.
This property is not implemented by the Visual Studio 6 genera‐
tor.
PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
Output directory for MS debug symbols .pdb file from linker.
This property specifies the directory into which the MS debug
symbols will be placed by the linker. This property is initial‐
ized by the value of the variable CMAKE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY if
it is set when a target is created.
This property is not implemented by the Visual Studio 6 genera‐
tor.
PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration output directory for MS debug symbols .pdb
files.
This is a per-configuration version of PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, but
multi-configuration generators (VS, Xcode) do NOT append a
per-configuration subdirectory to the specified directory. This
property is initialized by the value of the variable
CMAKE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG> if it is set when a target
is created.
This property is not implemented by the Visual Studio 6 genera‐
tor.
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE
Whether to create a position-independent target
The POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE property determines whether posi‐
tion independent executables or shared libraries will be cre‐
ated. This property is true by default for SHARED and MODULE
library targets and false otherwise. This property is initial‐
ized by the value of the variable CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPEN‐
DENT_CODE if it is set when a target is created.
POST_INSTALL_SCRIPT
Deprecated install support.
The PRE_INSTALL_SCRIPT and POST_INSTALL_SCRIPT properties are
the old way to specify CMake scripts to run before and after
installing a target. They are used only when the old
INSTALL_TARGETS command is used to install the target. Use the
INSTALL command instead.
PREFIX What comes before the library name.
A target property that can be set to override the prefix (such
as "lib") on a library name.
PRE_INSTALL_SCRIPT
Deprecated install support.
The PRE_INSTALL_SCRIPT and POST_INSTALL_SCRIPT properties are
the old way to specify CMake scripts to run before and after
installing a target. They are used only when the old
INSTALL_TARGETS command is used to install the target. Use the
INSTALL command instead.
PRIVATE_HEADER
Specify private header files in a FRAMEWORK shared library tar‐
get.
Shared library targets marked with the FRAMEWORK property gener‐
ate frameworks on OS X and normal shared libraries on other
platforms. This property may be set to a list of header files
to be placed in the PrivateHeaders directory inside the frame‐
work folder. On non-Apple platforms these headers may be
installed using the PRIVATE_HEADER option to the install(TAR‐
GETS) command.
PROJECT_LABEL
Change the name of a target in an IDE.
Can be used to change the name of the target in an IDE like Vis‐
ual Studio.
PUBLIC_HEADER
Specify public header files in a FRAMEWORK shared library tar‐
get.
Shared library targets marked with the FRAMEWORK property gener‐
ate frameworks on OS X and normal shared libraries on other
platforms. This property may be set to a list of header files
to be placed in the Headers directory inside the framework
folder. On non-Apple platforms these headers may be installed
using the PUBLIC_HEADER option to the install(TARGETS) command.
RESOURCE
Specify resource files in a FRAMEWORK shared library target.
Shared library targets marked with the FRAMEWORK property gener‐
ate frameworks on OS X and normal shared libraries on other
platforms. This property may be set to a list of files to be
placed in the Resources directory inside the framework folder.
On non-Apple platforms these files may be installed using the
RESOURCE option to the install(TARGETS) command.
RULE_LAUNCH_COMPILE
Specify a launcher for compile rules.
See the global property of the same name for details. This
overrides the global and directory property for a target.
RULE_LAUNCH_CUSTOM
Specify a launcher for custom rules.
See the global property of the same name for details. This
overrides the global and directory property for a target.
RULE_LAUNCH_LINK
Specify a launcher for link rules.
See the global property of the same name for details. This
overrides the global and directory property for a target.
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
Output directory in which to build RUNTIME target files.
This property specifies the directory into which runtime target
files should be built. Multi-configuration generators (VS,
Xcode) append a per-configuration subdirectory to the specified
directory. There are three kinds of target files that may be
built: archive, library, and runtime. Executables are always
treated as runtime targets. Static libraries are always treated
as archive targets. Module libraries are always treated as
library targets. For non-DLL platforms shared libraries are
treated as library targets. For DLL platforms the DLL part of a
shared library is treated as a runtime target and the corre‐
sponding import library is treated as an archive target. All
Windows-based systems including Cygwin are DLL platforms. This
property is initialized by the value of the variable CMAKE_RUN‐
TIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY if it is set when a target is created.
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration output directory for RUNTIME target files.
This is a per-configuration version of RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY,
but multi-configuration generators (VS, Xcode) do NOT append a
per-configuration subdirectory to the specified directory. This
property is initialized by the value of the variable CMAKE_RUN‐
TIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG> if it is set when a target is
created.
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_NAME
Output name for RUNTIME target files.
This property specifies the base name for runtime target files.
It overrides OUTPUT_NAME and OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG> properties.
There are three kinds of target files that may be built: ar‐
chive, library, and runtime. Executables are always treated as
runtime targets. Static libraries are always treated as archive
targets. Module libraries are always treated as library targets.
For non-DLL platforms shared libraries are treated as library
targets. For DLL platforms the DLL part of a shared library is
treated as a runtime target and the corresponding import library
is treated as an archive target. All Windows-based systems
including Cygwin are DLL platforms.
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration output name for RUNTIME target files.
This is the configuration-specific version of RUNTIME_OUT‐
PUT_NAME.
SKIP_BUILD_RPATH
Should rpaths be used for the build tree.
SKIP_BUILD_RPATH is a boolean specifying whether to skip auto‐
matic generation of an rpath allowing the target to run from the
build tree. This property is initialized by the value of the
variable CMAKE_SKIP_BUILD_RPATH if it is set when a target is
created.
SOURCES
Source names specified for a target.
Read-only list of sources specified for a target. The names
returned are suitable for passing to the set_source_files_prop‐
erties command.
SOVERSION
What version number is this target.
For shared libraries VERSION and SOVERSION can be used to spec‐
ify the build version and API version respectively. When build‐
ing or installing appropriate symlinks are created if the plat‐
form supports symlinks and the linker supports so-names. If only
one of both is specified the missing is assumed to have the same
version number. SOVERSION is ignored if NO_SONAME property is
set. For shared libraries and executables on Windows the VERSION
attribute is parsed to extract a "major.minor" version number.
These numbers are used as the image version of the binary.
STATIC_LIBRARY_FLAGS
Extra flags to use when linking static libraries.
Extra flags to use when linking a static library.
STATIC_LIBRARY_FLAGS_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration flags for creating a static library.
This is the configuration-specific version of
STATIC_LIBRARY_FLAGS.
SUFFIX What comes after the target name.
A target property that can be set to override the suffix (such
as ".so" or ".exe") on the name of a library, module or exe‐
cutable.
TYPE The type of the target.
This read-only property can be used to test the type of the
given target. It will be one of STATIC_LIBRARY, MODULE_LIBRARY,
SHARED_LIBRARY, EXECUTABLE or one of the internal target types.
VERSION
What version number is this target.
For shared libraries VERSION and SOVERSION can be used to spec‐
ify the build version and API version respectively. When build‐
ing or installing appropriate symlinks are created if the plat‐
form supports symlinks and the linker supports so-names. If only
one of both is specified the missing is assumed to have the same
version number. For executables VERSION can be used to specify
the build version. When building or installing appropriate sym‐
links are created if the platform supports symlinks. For shared
libraries and executables on Windows the VERSION attribute is
parsed to extract a "major.minor" version number. These numbers
are used as the image version of the binary.
VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN
Whether to add a compile flag to hide symbols of inline func‐
tions
The VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN property determines whether a flag
for hiding symbols for inline functions. the value passed used
in a visibility related compile option, such as -fvisibility=.
This property only has an affect for libraries and executables
with exports. This property is initialized by the value of the
variable CMAKE_VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN if it is set when a
target is created.
VS_DOTNET_REFERENCES
Visual Studio managed project .NET references
Adds one or more semicolon-delimited .NET references to a gener‐
ated Visual Studio project. For example, "System;System.Win‐
dows.Forms".
VS_DOTNET_TARGET_FRAMEWORK_VERSION
Specify the .NET target framework version.
Used to specify the .NET target framework version for C++/CLI.
For example, "v4.5".
VS_GLOBAL_<variable>
Visual Studio project-specific global variable.
Tell the Visual Studio generator to set the global variable
'<variable>' to a given value in the generated Visual Studio
project. Ignored on other generators. Qt integration works bet‐
ter if VS_GLOBAL_QtVersion is set to the version FindQt4.cmake
found. For example, "4.7.3"
VS_GLOBAL_KEYWORD
Visual Studio project keyword.
Sets the "keyword" attribute for a generated Visual Studio
project. Defaults to "Win32Proj". You may wish to override this
value with "ManagedCProj", for example, in a Visual Studio man‐
aged C++ unit test project.
VS_GLOBAL_PROJECT_TYPES
Visual Studio project type(s).
Can be set to one or more UUIDs recognized by Visual Studio to
indicate the type of project. This value is copied verbatim into
the generated project file. Example for a managed C++ unit test‐
ing project:
{3AC096D0-A1C2-E12C-1390-A8335801FDAB};{8BC9CEB8-8B4A-11D0-8D11-00A0C91BC942}
UUIDs are semicolon-delimited.
VS_GLOBAL_ROOTNAMESPACE
Visual Studio project root namespace.
Sets the "RootNamespace" attribute for a generated Visual Studio
project. The attribute will be generated only if this is set.
VS_KEYWORD
Visual Studio project keyword.
Can be set to change the visual studio keyword, for example Qt
integration works better if this is set to Qt4VSv1.0.
VS_SCC_AUXPATH
Visual Studio Source Code Control Aux Path.
Can be set to change the visual studio source code control aux‐
path property.
VS_SCC_LOCALPATH
Visual Studio Source Code Control Local Path.
Can be set to change the visual studio source code control local
path property.
VS_SCC_PROJECTNAME
Visual Studio Source Code Control Project.
Can be set to change the visual studio source code control
project name property.
VS_SCC_PROVIDER
Visual Studio Source Code Control Provider.
Can be set to change the visual studio source code control
provider property.
VS_WINRT_EXTENSIONS
Visual Studio project C++/CX language extensions for Windows
Runtime
Can be set to enable C++/CX language extensions.
VS_WINRT_REFERENCES
Visual Studio project Windows Runtime Metadata references
Adds one or more semicolon-delimited WinRT references to a gen‐
erated Visual Studio project. For example, "Windows;Win‐
dows.UI.Core".
WIN32_EXECUTABLE
Build an executable with a WinMain entry point on windows.
When this property is set to true the executable when linked on
Windows will be created with a WinMain() entry point instead of
just main(). This makes it a GUI executable instead of a con‐
sole application. See the CMAKE_MFC_FLAG variable documentation
to configure use of MFC for WinMain executables. This property
is initialized by the value of the variable CMAKE_WIN32_EXE‐
CUTABLE if it is set when a target is created.
XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_<an-attribute>
Set Xcode target attributes directly.
Tell the Xcode generator to set '<an-attribute>' to a given
value in the generated Xcode project. Ignored on other genera‐
tors.
PROPERTIES ON TESTS
ATTACHED_FILES
Attach a list of files to a dashboard submission.
Set this property to a list of files that will be encoded and
submitted to the dashboard as an addition to the test result.
ATTACHED_FILES_ON_FAIL
Attach a list of files to a dashboard submission if the test
fails.
Same as ATTACHED_FILES, but these files will only be included if
the test does not pass.
COST Set this to a floating point value. Tests in a test set will be
run in descending order of cost.
This property describes the cost of a test. You can explicitly
set this value; tests with higher COST values will run first.
DEPENDS
Specifies that this test should only be run after the specified
list of tests.
Set this to a list of tests that must finish before this test is
run.
ENVIRONMENT
Specify environment variables that should be defined for running
a test.
If set to a list of environment variables and values of the form
MYVAR=value those environment variables will be defined while
running the test. The environment is restored to its previous
state after the test is done.
FAIL_REGULAR_EXPRESSION
If the output matches this regular expression the test will
fail.
If set, if the output matches one of specified regular expres‐
sions, the test will fail.For example: FAIL_REGULAR_EXPRESSION
"[^a-z]Error;ERROR;Failed"
LABELS Specify a list of text labels associated with a test.
The list is reported in dashboard submissions.
MEASUREMENT
Specify a CDASH measurement and value to be reported for a test.
If set to a name then that name will be reported to CDASH as a
named measurement with a value of 1. You may also specify a
value by setting MEASUREMENT to "measurement=value".
PASS_REGULAR_EXPRESSION
The output must match this regular expression for the test to
pass.
If set, the test output will be checked against the specified
regular expressions and at least one of the regular expressions
has to match, otherwise the test will fail.
PROCESSORS
How many process slots this test requires
Denotes the number of processors that this test will require.
This is typically used for MPI tests, and should be used in con‐
junction with the ctest_test PARALLEL_LEVEL option.
REQUIRED_FILES
List of files required to run the test.
If set to a list of files, the test will not be run unless all
of the files exist.
RESOURCE_LOCK
Specify a list of resources that are locked by this test.
If multiple tests specify the same resource lock, they are guar‐
anteed not to run concurrently.
RUN_SERIAL
Do not run this test in parallel with any other test.
Use this option in conjunction with the ctest_test PARAL‐
LEL_LEVEL option to specify that this test should not be run in
parallel with any other tests.
TIMEOUT
How many seconds to allow for this test.
This property if set will limit a test to not take more than the
specified number of seconds to run. If it exceeds that the test
process will be killed and ctest will move to the next test.
This setting takes precedence over CTEST_TESTING_TIMEOUT.
WILL_FAIL
If set to true, this will invert the pass/fail flag of the test.
This property can be used for tests that are expected to fail
and return a non zero return code.
WORKING_DIRECTORY
The directory from which the test executable will be called.
If this is not set it is called from the directory the test exe‐
cutable is located in.
PROPERTIES ON SOURCE FILES
ABSTRACT
Is this source file an abstract class.
A property on a source file that indicates if the source file
represents a class that is abstract. This only makes sense for
languages that have a notion of an abstract class and it is only
used by some tools that wrap classes into other languages.
COMPILE_DEFINITIONS
Preprocessor definitions for compiling a source file.
The COMPILE_DEFINITIONS property may be set to a semicolon-sepa‐
rated list of preprocessor definitions using the syntax VAR or
VAR=value. Function-style definitions are not supported. CMake
will automatically escape the value correctly for the native
build system (note that CMake language syntax may require
escapes to specify some values). This property may be set on a
per-configuration basis using the name COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<CON‐
FIG> where <CONFIG> is an upper-case name (ex. "COMPILE_DEFINI‐
TIONS_DEBUG").
CMake will automatically drop some definitions that are not sup‐
ported by the native build tool. The VS6 IDE does not support
definition values with spaces (but NMake does). Xcode does not
support per-configuration definitions on source files.
Disclaimer: Most native build tools have poor support for escap‐
ing certain values. CMake has work-arounds for many cases but
some values may just not be possible to pass correctly. If a
value does not seem to be escaped correctly, do not attempt to
work-around the problem by adding escape sequences to the value.
Your work-around may break in a future version of CMake that has
improved escape support. Instead consider defining the macro in
a (configured) header file. Then report the limitation. Known
limitations include:
# - broken almost everywhere
; - broken in VS IDE 7.0 and Borland Makefiles
, - broken in VS IDE
% - broken in some cases in NMake
& | - broken in some cases on MinGW
^ < > \" - broken in most Make tools on Windows
CMake does not reject these values outright because they do work
in some cases. Use with caution.
COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<CONFIG>
Per-configuration preprocessor definitions on a source file.
This is the configuration-specific version of COMPILE_DEFINI‐
TIONS. Note that Xcode does not support per-configuration
source file flags so this property will be ignored by the Xcode
generator.
COMPILE_FLAGS
Additional flags to be added when compiling this source file.
These flags will be added to the list of compile flags when this
source file builds. Use COMPILE_DEFINITIONS to pass additional
preprocessor definitions.
EXTERNAL_OBJECT
If set to true then this is an object file.
If this property is set to true then the source file is really
an object file and should not be compiled. It will still be
linked into the target though.
Fortran_FORMAT
Set to FIXED or FREE to indicate the Fortran source layout.
This property tells CMake whether a given Fortran source file
uses fixed-format or free-format. CMake will pass the corre‐
sponding format flag to the compiler. Consider using the tar‐
get-wide Fortran_FORMAT property if all source files in a target
share the same format.
GENERATED
Is this source file generated as part of the build process.
If a source file is generated by the build process CMake will
handle it differently in terms of dependency checking etc. Oth‐
erwise having a non-existent source file could create problems.
HEADER_FILE_ONLY
Is this source file only a header file.
A property on a source file that indicates if the source file is
a header file with no associated implementation. This is set
automatically based on the file extension and is used by CMake
to determine if certain dependency information should be com‐
puted.
KEEP_EXTENSION
Make the output file have the same extension as the source file.
If this property is set then the file extension of the output
file will be the same as that of the source file. Normally the
output file extension is computed based on the language of the
source file, for example .cxx will go to a .o extension.
LABELS Specify a list of text labels associated with a source file.
This property has meaning only when the source file is listed in
a target whose LABELS property is also set. No other semantics
are currently specified.
LANGUAGE
What programming language is the file.
A property that can be set to indicate what programming language
the source file is. If it is not set the language is determined
based on the file extension. Typical values are CXX C etc. Set‐
ting this property for a file means this file will be compiled.
Do not set this for headers or files that should not be com‐
piled.
LOCATION
The full path to a source file.
A read only property on a SOURCE FILE that contains the full
path to the source file.
MACOSX_PACKAGE_LOCATION
Place a source file inside a Mac OS X bundle, CFBundle, or
framework.
Executable targets with the MACOSX_BUNDLE property set are built
as Mac OS X application bundles on Apple platforms. Shared
library targets with the FRAMEWORK property set are built as Mac
OS X frameworks on Apple platforms. Module library targets with
the BUNDLE property set are built as Mac OS X CFBundle bundles
on Apple platforms. Source files listed in the target with this
property set will be copied to a directory inside the bundle or
framework content folder specified by the property value. For
bundles the content folder is "<name>.app/Contents". For frame‐
works the content folder is "<name>.framework/Versions/<ver‐
sion>". For cfbundles the content folder is "<name>.bundle/Con‐
tents" (unless the extension is changed). See the PUB‐
LIC_HEADER, PRIVATE_HEADER, and RESOURCE target properties for
specifying files meant for Headers, PrivateHeaders, or Resources
directories.
OBJECT_DEPENDS
Additional files on which a compiled object file depends.
Specifies a semicolon-separated list of full-paths to files on
which any object files compiled from this source file depend.
An object file will be recompiled if any of the named files is
newer than it.
This property need not be used to specify the dependency of a
source file on a generated header file that it includes.
Although the property was originally introduced for this pur‐
pose, it is no longer necessary. If the generated header file
is created by a custom command in the same target as the source
file, the automatic dependency scanning process will recognize
the dependency. If the generated header file is created by
another target, an inter-target dependency should be created
with the add_dependencies command (if one does not already exist
due to linking relationships).
OBJECT_OUTPUTS
Additional outputs for a Makefile rule.
Additional outputs created by compilation of this source file.
If any of these outputs is missing the object will be recom‐
piled. This is supported only on Makefile generators and will be
ignored on other generators.
SYMBOLIC
Is this just a name for a rule.
If SYMBOLIC (boolean) is set to true the build system will be
informed that the source file is not actually created on disk
but instead used as a symbolic name for a build rule.
WRAP_EXCLUDE
Exclude this source file from any code wrapping techniques.
Some packages can wrap source files into alternate languages to
provide additional functionality. For example, C++ code can be
wrapped into Java or Python etc using SWIG etc. If WRAP_EXCLUDE
is set to true (1 etc) that indicates that this source file
should not be wrapped.
PROPERTIES ON CACHE ENTRIES
ADVANCED
True if entry should be hidden by default in GUIs.
This is a boolean value indicating whether the entry is consid‐
ered interesting only for advanced configuration. The
mark_as_advanced() command modifies this property.
HELPSTRING
Help associated with entry in GUIs.
This string summarizes the purpose of an entry to help users set
it through a CMake GUI.
MODIFIED
Internal management property. Do not set or get.
This is an internal cache entry property managed by CMake to
track interactive user modification of entries. Ignore it.
STRINGS
Enumerate possible STRING entry values for GUI selection.
For cache entries with type STRING, this enumerates a set of
values. CMake GUIs may use this to provide a selection widget
instead of a generic string entry field. This is for conve‐
nience only. CMake does not enforce that the value matches one
of those listed.
TYPE Widget type for entry in GUIs.
Cache entry values are always strings, but CMake GUIs present
widgets to help users set values. The GUIs use this property as
a hint to determine the widget type. Valid TYPE values are:
BOOL = Boolean ON/OFF value.
PATH = Path to a directory.
FILEPATH = Path to a file.
STRING = Generic string value.
INTERNAL = Do not present in GUI at all.
STATIC = Value managed by CMake, do not change.
UNINITIALIZED = Type not yet specified.
Generally the TYPE of a cache entry should be set by the command
which creates it (set, option, find_library, etc.).
VALUE Value of a cache entry.
This property maps to the actual value of a cache entry. Set‐
ting this property always sets the value without checking, so
use with care.
COMPATIBILITY COMMANDS
CMake Compatibility Listfile Commands - Obsolete commands supported by CMake for compatibility.
This is the documentation for now obsolete listfile commands from pre‐
vious CMake versions, which are still supported for compatibility rea‐
sons. You should instead use the newer, faster and shinier new com‐
mands. ;-)
COMPATILBILITY COMMANDS
build_name
Deprecated. Use ${CMAKE_SYSTEM} and ${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER}
instead.
build_name(variable)
Sets the specified variable to a string representing the plat‐
form and compiler settings. These values are now available
through the CMAKE_SYSTEM and CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER variables.
exec_program
Deprecated. Use the execute_process() command instead.
Run an executable program during the processing of the CMake‐
List.txt file.
exec_program(Executable [directory in which to run]
[ARGS <arguments to executable>]
[OUTPUT_VARIABLE <var>]
[RETURN_VALUE <var>])
The executable is run in the optionally specified directory.
The executable can include arguments if it is double quoted, but
it is better to use the optional ARGS argument to specify argu‐
ments to the program. This is because cmake will then be able
to escape spaces in the executable path. An optional argument
OUTPUT_VARIABLE specifies a variable in which to store the out‐
put. To capture the return value of the execution, provide a
RETURN_VALUE. If OUTPUT_VARIABLE is specified, then no output
will go to the stdout/stderr of the console running cmake.
export_library_dependencies
Deprecated. Use INSTALL(EXPORT) or EXPORT command.
This command generates an old-style library dependencies file.
Projects requiring CMake 2.6 or later should not use the com‐
mand. Use instead the install(EXPORT) command to help export
targets from an installation tree and the export() command to
export targets from a build tree.
The old-style library dependencies file does not take into
account per-configuration names of libraries or the LINK_INTER‐
FACE_LIBRARIES target property.
export_library_dependencies(<file> [APPEND])
Create a file named <file> that can be included into a CMake
listfile with the INCLUDE command. The file will contain a num‐
ber of SET commands that will set all the variables needed for
library dependency information. This should be the last command
in the top level CMakeLists.txt file of the project. If the
APPEND option is specified, the SET commands will be appended to
the given file instead of replacing it.
install_files
Deprecated. Use the install(FILES ) command instead.
This command has been superceded by the install command. It is
provided for compatibility with older CMake code. The FILES
form is directly replaced by the FILES form of the install com‐
mand. The regexp form can be expressed more clearly using the
GLOB form of the file command.
install_files(<dir> extension file file ...)
Create rules to install the listed files with the given exten‐
sion into the given directory. Only files existing in the cur‐
rent source tree or its corresponding location in the binary
tree may be listed. If a file specified already has an exten‐
sion, that extension will be removed first. This is useful for
providing lists of source files such as foo.cxx when you want
the corresponding foo.h to be installed. A typical extension is
'.h'.
install_files(<dir> regexp)
Any files in the current source directory that match the regular
expression will be installed.
install_files(<dir> FILES file file ...)
Any files listed after the FILES keyword will be installed
explicitly from the names given. Full paths are allowed in this
form.
The directory <dir> is relative to the installation prefix,
which is stored in the variable CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
install_programs
Deprecated. Use the install(PROGRAMS ) command instead.
This command has been superceded by the install command. It is
provided for compatibility with older CMake code. The FILES
form is directly replaced by the PROGRAMS form of the INSTALL
command. The regexp form can be expressed more clearly using
the GLOB form of the FILE command.
install_programs(<dir> file1 file2 [file3 ...])
install_programs(<dir> FILES file1 [file2 ...])
Create rules to install the listed programs into the given
directory. Use the FILES argument to guarantee that the file
list version of the command will be used even when there is only
one argument.
install_programs(<dir> regexp)
In the second form any program in the current source directory
that matches the regular expression will be installed.
This command is intended to install programs that are not built
by cmake, such as shell scripts. See the TARGETS form of the
INSTALL command to create installation rules for targets built
by cmake.
The directory <dir> is relative to the installation prefix,
which is stored in the variable CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
install_targets
Deprecated. Use the install(TARGETS ) command instead.
This command has been superceded by the install command. It is
provided for compatibility with older CMake code.
install_targets(<dir> [RUNTIME_DIRECTORY dir] target target)
Create rules to install the listed targets into the given direc‐
tory. The directory <dir> is relative to the installation pre‐
fix, which is stored in the variable CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. If
RUNTIME_DIRECTORY is specified, then on systems with special
runtime files (Windows DLL), the files will be copied to that
directory.
link_libraries
Deprecated. Use the target_link_libraries() command instead.
Link libraries to all targets added later.
link_libraries(library1 <debug | optimized> library2 ...)
Specify a list of libraries to be linked into any following tar‐
gets (typically added with the add_executable or add_library
calls). This command is passed down to all subdirectories. The
debug and optimized strings may be used to indicate that the
next library listed is to be used only for that specific type of
build.
make_directory
Deprecated. Use the file(MAKE_DIRECTORY ) command instead.
make_directory(directory)
Creates the specified directory. Full paths should be given.
Any parent directories that do not exist will also be created.
Use with care.
output_required_files
Deprecated. Approximate C preprocessor dependency scanning.
This command exists only because ancient CMake versions provided
it. CMake handles preprocessor dependency scanning automati‐
cally using a more advanced scanner.
output_required_files(srcfile outputfile)
Outputs a list of all the source files that are required by the
specified srcfile. This list is written into outputfile. This is
similar to writing out the dependencies for srcfile except that
it jumps from .h files into .cxx, .c and .cpp files if possible.
remove Deprecated. Use the list(REMOVE_ITEM ) command instead.
remove(VAR VALUE VALUE ...)
Removes VALUE from the variable VAR. This is typically used to
remove entries from a vector (e.g. semicolon separated list).
VALUE is expanded.
subdir_depends
Deprecated. Does nothing.
subdir_depends(subdir dep1 dep2 ...)
Does not do anything. This command used to help projects order
parallel builds correctly. This functionality is now automatic.
subdirs
Deprecated. Use the add_subdirectory() command instead.
Add a list of subdirectories to the build.
subdirs(dir1 dir2 ...[EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL exclude_dir1 exclude_dir2 ...]
[PREORDER] )
Add a list of subdirectories to the build. The add_subdirectory
command should be used instead of subdirs although subdirs will
still work. This will cause any CMakeLists.txt files in the sub
directories to be processed by CMake. Any directories after the
PREORDER flag are traversed first by makefile builds, the PRE‐
ORDER flag has no effect on IDE projects. Any directories after
the EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL marker will not be included in the top
level makefile or project file. This is useful for having CMake
create makefiles or projects for a set of examples in a project.
You would want CMake to generate makefiles or project files for
all the examples at the same time, but you would not want them
to show up in the top level project or be built each time make
is run from the top.
use_mangled_mesa
Copy mesa headers for use in combination with system GL.
use_mangled_mesa(PATH_TO_MESA OUTPUT_DIRECTORY)
The path to mesa includes, should contain gl_mangle.h. The mesa
headers are copied to the specified output directory. This
allows mangled mesa headers to override other GL headers by
being added to the include directory path earlier.
utility_source
Specify the source tree of a third-party utility.
utility_source(cache_entry executable_name
path_to_source [file1 file2 ...])
When a third-party utility's source is included in the distribu‐
tion, this command specifies its location and name. The cache
entry will not be set unless the path_to_source and all listed
files exist. It is assumed that the source tree of the utility
will have been built before it is needed.
When cross compiling CMake will print a warning if a util‐
ity_source() command is executed, because in many cases it is
used to build an executable which is executed later on. This
doesn't work when cross compiling, since the executable can run
only on their target platform. So in this case the cache entry
has to be adjusted manually so it points to an executable which
is runnable on the build host.
variable_requires
Deprecated. Use the if() command instead.
Assert satisfaction of an option's required variables.
variable_requires(TEST_VARIABLE RESULT_VARIABLE
REQUIRED_VARIABLE1
REQUIRED_VARIABLE2 ...)
The first argument (TEST_VARIABLE) is the name of the variable
to be tested, if that variable is false nothing else is done. If
TEST_VARIABLE is true, then the next argument (RESULT_VARIABLE)
is a variable that is set to true if all the required variables
are set. The rest of the arguments are variables that must be
true or not set to NOTFOUND to avoid an error. If any are not
true, an error is reported.
write_file
Deprecated. Use the file(WRITE ) command instead.
write_file(filename "message to write"... [APPEND])
The first argument is the file name, the rest of the arguments
are messages to write. If the argument APPEND is specified, then
the message will be appended.
NOTE 1: file(WRITE ... and file(APPEND ... do exactly the same
as this one but add some more functionality.
NOTE 2: When using write_file the produced file cannot be used
as an input to CMake (CONFIGURE_FILE, source file ...) because
it will lead to an infinite loop. Use configure_file if you want
to generate input files to CMake.
MODULES
The following modules are provided with CMake. They can be used with
INCLUDE(ModuleName).
CMake Modules - Modules coming with CMake, the Cross-Platform Makefile Generator.
This is the documentation for the modules and scripts coming with
CMake. Using these modules you can check the computer system for
installed software packages, features of the compiler and the existence
of headers to name just a few.
AddFileDependencies
ADD_FILE_DEPENDENCIES(source_file depend_files...)
Adds the given files as dependencies to source_file
BundleUtilities
Functions to help assemble a standalone bundle application.
A collection of CMake utility functions useful for dealing with
.app bundles on the Mac and bundle-like directories on any OS.
The following functions are provided by this module:
fixup_bundle
copy_and_fixup_bundle
verify_app
get_bundle_main_executable
get_dotapp_dir
get_bundle_and_executable
get_bundle_all_executables
get_item_key
clear_bundle_keys
set_bundle_key_values
get_bundle_keys
copy_resolved_item_into_bundle
copy_resolved_framework_into_bundle
fixup_bundle_item
verify_bundle_prerequisites
verify_bundle_symlinks
Requires CMake 2.6 or greater because it uses function, break
and PARENT_SCOPE. Also depends on GetPrerequisites.cmake.
FIXUP_BUNDLE(<app> <libs> <dirs>)
Fix up a bundle in-place and make it standalone, such that it
can be drag-n-drop copied to another machine and run on that
machine as long as all of the system libraries are compatible.
If you pass plugins to fixup_bundle as the libs parameter, you
should install them or copy them into the bundle before calling
fixup_bundle. The "libs" parameter is a list of libraries that
must be fixed up, but that cannot be determined by otool output
analysis. (i.e., plugins)
Gather all the keys for all the executables and libraries in a
bundle, and then, for each key, copy each prerequisite into the
bundle. Then fix each one up according to its own list of pre‐
requisites.
Then clear all the keys and call verify_app on the final bundle
to ensure that it is truly standalone.
COPY_AND_FIXUP_BUNDLE(<src> <dst> <libs> <dirs>)
Makes a copy of the bundle <src> at location <dst> and then
fixes up the new copied bundle in-place at <dst>...
VERIFY_APP(<app>)
Verifies that an application <app> appears valid based on run‐
ning analysis tools on it. Calls "message(FATAL_ERROR" if the
application is not verified.
GET_BUNDLE_MAIN_EXECUTABLE(<bundle> <result_var>)
The result will be the full path name of the bundle's main exe‐
cutable file or an "error:" prefixed string if it could not be
determined.
GET_DOTAPP_DIR(<exe> <dotapp_dir_var>)
Returns the nearest parent dir whose name ends with ".app" given
the full path to an executable. If there is no such parent dir,
then simply return the dir containing the executable.
The returned directory may or may not exist.
GET_BUNDLE_AND_EXECUTABLE(<app> <bundle_var> <executable_var> <valid_var>)
Takes either a ".app" directory name or the name of an exe‐
cutable nested inside a ".app" directory and returns the path to
the ".app" directory in <bundle_var> and the path to its main
executable in <executable_var>
GET_BUNDLE_ALL_EXECUTABLES(<bundle> <exes_var>)
Scans the given bundle recursively for all executable files and
accumulates them into a variable.
GET_ITEM_KEY(<item> <key_var>)
Given a file (item) name, generate a key that should be unique
considering the set of libraries that need copying or fixing up
to make a bundle standalone. This is essentially the file name
including extension with "." replaced by "_"
This key is used as a prefix for CMake variables so that we can
associate a set of variables with a given item based on its key.
CLEAR_BUNDLE_KEYS(<keys_var>)
Loop over the list of keys, clearing all the variables associ‐
ated with each key. After the loop, clear the list of keys
itself.
Caller of get_bundle_keys should call clear_bundle_keys when
done with list of keys.
SET_BUNDLE_KEY_VALUES(<keys_var> <context> <item> <exepath> <dirs>
<copyflag>)
Add a key to the list (if necessary) for the given item. If
added, also set all the variables associated with that key.
GET_BUNDLE_KEYS(<app> <libs> <dirs> <keys_var>)
Loop over all the executable and library files within the bundle
(and given as extra <libs>) and accumulate a list of keys repre‐
senting them. Set values associated with each key such that we
can loop over all of them and copy prerequisite libs into the
bundle and then do appropriate install_name_tool fixups.
COPY_RESOLVED_ITEM_INTO_BUNDLE(<resolved_item> <resolved_embedded_item>)
Copy a resolved item into the bundle if necessary. Copy is not
necessary if the resolved_item is "the same as" the
resolved_embedded_item.
COPY_RESOLVED_FRAMEWORK_INTO_BUNDLE(<resolved_item> <resolved_embedded_item>)
Copy a resolved framework into the bundle if necessary. Copy is
not necessary if the resolved_item is "the same as" the
resolved_embedded_item.
By default, BU_COPY_FULL_FRAMEWORK_CONTENTS is not set. If you
want full frameworks embedded in your bundles, set
BU_COPY_FULL_FRAMEWORK_CONTENTS to ON before calling fixup_bun‐
dle. By default, COPY_RESOLVED_FRAMEWORK_INTO_BUNDLE copies the
framework dylib itself plus the framework Resources directory.
FIXUP_BUNDLE_ITEM(<resolved_embedded_item> <exepath> <dirs>)
Get the direct/non-system prerequisites of the resolved embedded
item. For each prerequisite, change the way it is referenced to
the value of the _EMBEDDED_ITEM keyed variable for that prereq‐
uisite. (Most likely changing to an "@executable_path" style
reference.)
This function requires that the resolved_embedded_item be
"inside" the bundle already. In other words, if you pass plugins
to fixup_bundle as the libs parameter, you should install them
or copy them into the bundle before calling fixup_bundle. The
"libs" parameter is a list of libraries that must be fixed up,
but that cannot be determined by otool output analysis. (i.e.,
plugins)
Also, change the id of the item being fixed up to its own
_EMBEDDED_ITEM value.
Accumulate changes in a local variable and make *one* call to
install_name_tool at the end of the function with all the
changes at once.
If the BU_CHMOD_BUNDLE_ITEMS variable is set then bundle items
will be marked writable before install_name_tool tries to change
them.
VERIFY_BUNDLE_PREREQUISITES(<bundle> <result_var> <info_var>)
Verifies that the sum of all prerequisites of all files inside
the bundle are contained within the bundle or are "system"
libraries, presumed to exist everywhere.
VERIFY_BUNDLE_SYMLINKS(<bundle> <result_var> <info_var>)
Verifies that any symlinks found in the bundle point to other
files that are already also in the bundle... Anything that
points to an external file causes this function to fail the ver‐
ification.
CMakeAddFortranSubdirectory
Use MinGW gfortran from VS if a fortran compiler is not found.
The 'add_fortran_subdirectory' function adds a subdirectory to a
project that contains a fortran only sub-project. The module
will check the current compiler and see if it can support for‐
tran. If no fortran compiler is found and the compiler is MSVC,
then this module will find the MinGW gfortran. It will then use
an external project to build with the MinGW tools. It will also
create imported targets for the libraries created. This will
only work if the fortran code is built into a dll, so
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is turned on in the project. In addition the
CMAKE_GNUtoMS option is set to on, so that the MS .lib files are
created. Usage is as follows:
cmake_add_fortran_subdirectory(
<subdir> # name of subdirectory
PROJECT <project_name> # project name in subdir top CMakeLists.txt
ARCHIVE_DIR <dir> # dir where project places .lib files
RUNTIME_DIR <dir> # dir where project places .dll files
LIBRARIES <lib>... # names of library targets to import
LINK_LIBRARIES # link interface libraries for LIBRARIES
[LINK_LIBS <lib> <dep>...]...
CMAKE_COMMAND_LINE ... # extra command line flags to pass to cmake
NO_EXTERNAL_INSTALL # skip installation of external project
)
Relative paths in ARCHIVE_DIR and RUNTIME_DIR are interpreted
with respect to the build directory corresponding to the source
directory in which the function is invoked.
Limitations:
NO_EXTERNAL_INSTALL is required for forward compatibility with a
future version that supports installation of the external
project binaries during "make install".
CMakeBackwardCompatibilityCXX
define a bunch of backwards compatibility variables
CMAKE_ANSI_CXXFLAGS - flag for ansi c++
CMAKE_HAS_ANSI_STRING_STREAM - has <strstream>
include(TestForANSIStreamHeaders)include(CheckIncludeFileCXX)include(TestForSTDNamespace)include(TestForANSIForScope)
CMakeDependentOption
Macro to provide an option dependent on other options.
This macro presents an option to the user only if a set of other
conditions are true. When the option is not presented a default
value is used, but any value set by the user is preserved for
when the option is presented again. Example invocation:
CMAKE_DEPENDENT_OPTION(USE_FOO "Use Foo" ON
"USE_BAR;NOT USE_ZOT" OFF)
If USE_BAR is true and USE_ZOT is false, this provides an option
called USE_FOO that defaults to ON. Otherwise, it sets USE_FOO
to OFF. If the status of USE_BAR or USE_ZOT ever changes, any
value for the USE_FOO option is saved so that when the option is
re-enabled it retains its old value.
CMakeDetermineVSServicePack
Determine the Visual Studio service pack of the 'cl' in use.
The functionality of this module has been superseded by the
platform variable CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_VERSION that contains
the compiler version number.
Usage:
if(MSVC)include(CMakeDetermineVSServicePack)
DetermineVSServicePack( my_service_pack )
if( my_service_pack )
message(STATUS "Detected: ${my_service_pack}")
endif()endif()
Function DetermineVSServicePack sets the given variable to one
of the following values or an empty string if unknown:
vc80, vc80sp1
vc90, vc90sp1
vc100, vc100sp1
vc110, vc110sp1, vc110sp2
CMakeExpandImportedTargets
CMAKE_EXPAND_IMPORTED_TARGETS(<var> LIBRARIES lib1 lib2...libN
[CONFIGURATION <config>] )
CMAKE_EXPAND_IMPORTED_TARGETS() takes a list of libraries and
replaces all imported targets contained in this list with their
actual file paths of the referenced libraries on disk, including
the libraries from their link interfaces. If a CONFIGURATION is
given, it uses the respective configuration of the imported tar‐
gets if it exists. If no CONFIGURATION is given, it uses the
first configuration from ${CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES} if set,
otherwise ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}. This macro is used by all
Check*.cmake files which use try_compile() or try_run() and sup‐
port CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES , so that these checks support
imported targets in CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES:
cmake_expand_imported_targets(expandedLibs LIBRARIES ${CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES}
CONFIGURATION "${CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_CONFIGURATION}" )
CMakeFindFrameworks
helper module to find OSX frameworks
CMakeFindPackageMode
This file is executed by cmake when invoked with --find-package.
It expects that the following variables are set using -D:
NAME = name of the package
COMPILER_ID = the CMake compiler ID for which the result is, i.e. GNU/Intel/Clang/MSVC, etc.
LANGUAGE = language for which the result will be used, i.e. C/CXX/Fortan/ASM
MODE = EXIST : only check for existence of the given package
COMPILE : print the flags needed for compiling an object file which uses the given package
LINK : print the flags needed for linking when using the given package
QUIET = if TRUE, don't print anything
CMakeForceCompiler
This module defines macros intended for use by cross-compiling
toolchain files when CMake is not able to automatically detect
the compiler identification.
Macro CMAKE_FORCE_C_COMPILER has the following signature:
CMAKE_FORCE_C_COMPILER(<compiler> <compiler-id>)
It sets CMAKE_C_COMPILER to the given compiler and the cmake
internal variable CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID to the given compiler-id.
It also bypasses the check for working compiler and basic com‐
piler information tests.
Macro CMAKE_FORCE_CXX_COMPILER has the following signature:
CMAKE_FORCE_CXX_COMPILER(<compiler> <compiler-id>)
It sets CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to the given compiler and the cmake
internal variable CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID to the given com‐
piler-id. It also bypasses the check for working compiler and
basic compiler information tests.
Macro CMAKE_FORCE_Fortran_COMPILER has the following signature:
CMAKE_FORCE_Fortran_COMPILER(<compiler> <compiler-id>)
It sets CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER to the given compiler and the
cmake internal variable CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER_ID to the given
compiler-id. It also bypasses the check for working compiler and
basic compiler information tests.
So a simple toolchain file could look like this:
include (CMakeForceCompiler)
set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Generic)
CMAKE_FORCE_C_COMPILER (chc12 MetrowerksHicross)
CMAKE_FORCE_CXX_COMPILER (chc12 MetrowerksHicross)
CMakeGraphVizOptions
The builtin graphviz support of CMake.
CMake can generate graphviz files, showing the dependencies
between the targets in a project and also external libraries
which are linked against. When CMake is run with the --gra‐
phiz=foo option, it will produce
* a foo.dot file showing all dependencies in the project
* a foo.dot.<target> file for each target, file showing on which other targets the respective target depends
* a foo.dot.<target>.dependers file, showing which other targets depend on the respective target
This can result in huge graphs. Using the file CMakeGraphVizOp‐
tions.cmake the look and content of the generated graphs can be
influenced. This file is searched first in ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}
and then in ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}. If found, it is read and the
variables set in it are used to adjust options for the generated
graphviz files.
GRAPHVIZ_GRAPH_TYPE - The graph type
Mandatory : NO
Default : "digraph"
GRAPHVIZ_GRAPH_NAME - The graph name.
Mandatory : NO
Default : "GG"
GRAPHVIZ_GRAPH_HEADER - The header written at the top of the graphviz file.
Mandatory : NO
Default : "node [n fontsize = "12"];"
GRAPHVIZ_NODE_PREFIX - The prefix for each node in the graphviz file.
Mandatory : NO
Default : "node"
GRAPHVIZ_EXECUTABLES - Set this to FALSE to exclude executables from the generated graphs.
Mandatory : NO
Default : TRUE
GRAPHVIZ_STATIC_LIBS - Set this to FALSE to exclude static libraries from the generated graphs.
Mandatory : NO
Default : TRUE
GRAPHVIZ_SHARED_LIBS - Set this to FALSE to exclude shared libraries from the generated graphs.
Mandatory : NO
Default : TRUE
GRAPHVIZ_MODULE_LIBS - Set this to FALSE to exclude static libraries from the generated graphs.
Mandatory : NO
Default : TRUE
GRAPHVIZ_EXTERNAL_LIBS - Set this to FALSE to exclude external libraries from the generated graphs.
Mandatory : NO
Default : TRUE
GRAPHVIZ_IGNORE_TARGETS - A list of regular expressions for ignoring targets.
Mandatory : NO
Default : empty
CMakePackageConfigHelpers
CONFIGURE_PACKAGE_CONFIG_FILE(), WRITE_BASIC_PACKAGE_VER‐
SION_FILE()
CONFIGURE_PACKAGE_CONFIG_FILE(<input> <output> INSTALL_DESTINATION <path>
[PATH_VARS <var1> <var2> ... <varN>]
[NO_SET_AND_CHECK_MACRO]
[NO_CHECK_REQUIRED_COMPONENTS_MACRO])
CONFIGURE_PACKAGE_CONFIG_FILE() should be used instead of the
plain configure_file() command when creating the <Name>Con‐
fig.cmake or <Name>-config.cmake file for installing a project
or library. It helps making the resulting package relocatable by
avoiding hardcoded paths in the installed Config.cmake file.
In a FooConfig.cmake file there may be code like this to make
the install destinations know to the using project:
set(FOO_INCLUDE_DIR "@CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_INCLUDEDIR@" )
set(FOO_DATA_DIR "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/@RELATIVE_DATA_INSTALL_DIR@" )
set(FOO_ICONS_DIR "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/share/icons" )
...logic to determine installedPrefix from the own location...
set(FOO_CONFIG_DIR "${installedPrefix}/@CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR@" )
All 4 options shown above are not sufficient, since the first 3
hardcode the absolute directory locations, and the 4th case
works only if the logic to determine the installedPrefix is cor‐
rect, and if CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR contains a relative path, which
in general cannot be guaranteed. This has the effect that the
resulting FooConfig.cmake file would work poorly under Windows
and OSX, where users are used to choose the install location of
a binary package at install time, independent from how
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX was set at build/cmake time.
Using CONFIGURE_PACKAGE_CONFIG_FILE() helps. If used correctly,
it makes the resulting FooConfig.cmake file relocatable. Usage:
1. write a FooConfig.cmake.in file as you are used to
2. insert a line containing only the string "@PACKAGE_INIT@"
3. instead of set(FOO_DIR "@SOME_INSTALL_DIR@"), use set(FOO_DIR "@PACKAGE_SOME_INSTALL_DIR@")
(this must be after the @PACKAGE_INIT@ line)
4. instead of using the normal configure_file(), use CONFIGURE_PACKAGE_CONFIG_FILE()
The <input> and <output> arguments are the input and output
file, the same way as in configure_file().
The <path> given to INSTALL_DESTINATION must be the destination
where the FooConfig.cmake file will be installed to. This can
either be a relative or absolute path, both work.
The variables <var1> to <varN> given as PATH_VARS are the vari‐
ables which contain install destinations. For each of them the
macro will create a helper variable PACKAGE_<var...>. These
helper variables must be used in the FooConfig.cmake.in file for
setting the installed location. They are calculated by CONFIG‐
URE_PACKAGE_CONFIG_FILE() so that they are always relative to
the installed location of the package. This works both for rela‐
tive and also for absolute locations. For absolute locations it
works only if the absolute location is a subdirectory of
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
By default configure_package_config_file() also generates two
helper macros, set_and_check() and check_required_components()
into the FooConfig.cmake file.
set_and_check() should be used instead of the normal set() com‐
mand for setting directories and file locations. Additionally to
setting the variable it also checks that the referenced file or
directory actually exists and fails with a FATAL_ERROR other‐
wise. This makes sure that the created FooConfig.cmake file does
not contain wrong references. When using the
NO_SET_AND_CHECK_MACRO, this macro is not generated into the
FooConfig.cmake file.
check_required_components(<package_name>) should be called at
the end of the FooConfig.cmake file if the package supports com‐
ponents. This macro checks whether all requested, non-optional
components have been found, and if this is not the case, sets
the Foo_FOUND variable to FALSE, so that the package is consid‐
ered to be not found. It does that by testing the Foo_<Compo‐
nent>_FOUND variables for all requested required components.
When using the NO_CHECK_REQUIRED_COMPONENTS option, this macro
is not generated into the FooConfig.cmake file.
For an example see below the documentation for WRITE_BASIC_PACK‐
AGE_VERSION_FILE().
WRITE_BASIC_PACKAGE_VERSION_FILE( filename VERSION major.minor.patch COMPATIBILITY (AnyNewerVersion|SameMajorVersion|ExactVersion) )
Writes a file for use as <package>ConfigVersion.cmake file to
<filename>. See the documentation of find_package() for details
on this.
filename is the output filename, it should be in the build tree.
major.minor.patch is the version number of the project to be installed
The COMPATIBILITY mode AnyNewerVersion means that the installed
package version will be considered compatible if it is newer or
exactly the same as the requested version. This mode should be
used for packages which are fully backward compatible, also
across major versions. If SameMajorVersion is used instead, then
the behaviour differs from AnyNewerVersion in that the major
version number must be the same as requested, e.g. version 2.0
will not be considered compatible if 1.0 is requested. This mode
should be used for packages which guarantee backward compatibil‐
ity within the same major version. If ExactVersion is used, then
the package is only considered compatible if the requested ver‐
sion matches exactly its own version number (not considering the
tweak version). For example, version 1.2.3 of a package is only
considered compatible to requested version 1.2.3. This mode is
for packages without compatibility guarantees. If your project
has more elaborated version matching rules, you will need to
write your own custom ConfigVersion.cmake file instead of using
this macro.
Internally, this macro executes configure_file() to create the
resulting version file. Depending on the COMPATIBLITY, either
the file BasicConfigVersion-SameMajorVersion.cmake.in or Basic‐
ConfigVersion-AnyNewerVersion.cmake.in is used. Please note that
these two files are internal to CMake and you should not call
configure_file() on them yourself, but they can be used as
starting point to create more sophisticted custom ConfigVer‐
sion.cmake files.
Example using both configure_package_config_file() and
write_basic_package_version_file(): CMakeLists.txt:
set(INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR include/ ... CACHE )
set(LIB_INSTALL_DIR lib/ ... CACHE )
set(SYSCONFIG_INSTALL_DIR etc/foo/ ... CACHE )
...
include(CMakePackageConfigHelpers)
configure_package_config_file(FooConfig.cmake.in ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/FooConfig.cmake
INSTALL_DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}/Foo/cmake
PATH_VARS INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR SYSCONFIG_INSTALL_DIR)
write_basic_package_version_file(${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/FooConfigVersion.cmake
VERSION 1.2.3
COMPATIBILITY SameMajorVersion )
install(FILES ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/FooConfig.cmake ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/FooConfigVersion.cmake
DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}/Foo/cmake )
With a FooConfig.cmake.in:
set(FOO_VERSION x.y.z)
...
@PACKAGE_INIT@
...
set_and_check(FOO_INCLUDE_DIR "@PACKAGE_INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR@")
set_and_check(FOO_SYSCONFIG_DIR "@PACKAGE_SYSCONFIG_INSTALL_DIR@")
check_required_components(Foo)
CMakeParseArguments
CMAKE_PARSE_ARGUMENTS(<prefix> <options> <one_value_keywords>
<multi_value_keywords> args...)
CMAKE_PARSE_ARGUMENTS() is intended to be used in macros or
functions for parsing the arguments given to that macro or func‐
tion. It processes the arguments and defines a set of variables
which hold the values of the respective options.
The <options> argument contains all options for the respective
macro, i.e. keywords which can be used when calling the macro
without any value following, like e.g. the OPTIONAL keyword of
the install() command.
The <one_value_keywords> argument contains all keywords for this
macro which are followed by one value, like e.g. DESTINATION
keyword of the install() command.
The <multi_value_keywords> argument contains all keywords for
this macro which can be followed by more than one value, like
e.g. the TARGETS or FILES keywords of the install() command.
When done, CMAKE_PARSE_ARGUMENTS() will have defined for each of
the keywords listed in <options>, <one_value_keywords> and
<multi_value_keywords> a variable composed of the given <prefix>
followed by "_" and the name of the respective keyword. These
variables will then hold the respective value from the argument
list. For the <options> keywords this will be TRUE or FALSE.
All remaining arguments are collected in a variable <pre‐
fix>_UNPARSED_ARGUMENTS, this can be checked afterwards to see
whether your macro was called with unrecognized parameters.
As an example here a my_install() macro, which takes similar
arguments as the real install() command:
function(MY_INSTALL)
set(options OPTIONAL FAST)
set(oneValueArgs DESTINATION RENAME)
set(multiValueArgs TARGETS CONFIGURATIONS)
cmake_parse_arguments(MY_INSTALL "${options}" "${oneValueArgs}" "${multiValueArgs}" ${ARGN} )
...
Assume my_install() has been called like this:
my_install(TARGETS foo bar DESTINATION bin OPTIONAL blub)
After the cmake_parse_arguments() call the macro will have set
the following variables:
MY_INSTALL_OPTIONAL = TRUE
MY_INSTALL_FAST = FALSE (this option was not used when calling my_install()
MY_INSTALL_DESTINATION = "bin"
MY_INSTALL_RENAME = "" (was not used)
MY_INSTALL_TARGETS = "foo;bar"
MY_INSTALL_CONFIGURATIONS = "" (was not used)
MY_INSTALL_UNPARSED_ARGUMENTS = "blub" (no value expected after "OPTIONAL"
You can then continue and process these variables.
Keywords terminate lists of values, e.g. if directly after a
one_value_keyword another recognized keyword follows, this is
interpreted as the beginning of the new option. E.g.
my_install(TARGETS foo DESTINATION OPTIONAL) would result in
MY_INSTALL_DESTINATION set to "OPTIONAL", but MY_INSTALL_DESTI‐
NATION would be empty and MY_INSTALL_OPTIONAL would be set to
TRUE therefor.
CMakePrintHelpers
Convenience macros for printing properties and variables, useful
e.g. for debugging.
CMAKE_PRINT_PROPERTIES([TARGETS target1 .. targetN]
[SOURCES source1 .. sourceN]
[DIRECTORIES dir1 .. dirN]
[TESTS test1 .. testN]
[CACHE_ENTRIES entry1 .. entryN]
PROPERTIES prop1 .. propN )
This macro prints the values of the properties of the given tar‐
gets, source files, directories, tests or cache entries. Exactly
one of the scope keywords must be used. Example:
cmake_print_properties(TARGETS foo bar PROPERTIES LOCATION INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRS)
This will print the LOCATION and INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRS proper‐
ties for both targets foo and bar.
CMAKE_PRINT_VARIABLES(var1 var2 .. varN)
This macro will print the name of each variable followed by its
value. Example:
cmake_print_variables(CMAKE_C_COMPILER CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION THIS_ONE_DOES_NOT_EXIST)
Gives:
-- CMAKE_C_COMPILER="/usr/bin/gcc" ; CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION="2" ; THIS_ONE_DOES_NOT_EXIST=""
CMakePrintSystemInformation
print system information
This file can be used for diagnostic purposes just include it in
a project to see various internal CMake variables.
CMakePushCheckState
This module defines three macros: CMAKE_PUSH_CHECK_STATE()CMAKE_POP_CHECK_STATE() and CMAKE_RESET_CHECK_STATE() These
macros can be used to save, restore and reset (i.e., clear con‐
tents) the state of the variables CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS,
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS, CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES and
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES used by the various Check-files coming
with CMake, like e.g. check_function_exists() etc. The variable
contents are pushed on a stack, pushing multiple times is sup‐
ported. This is useful e.g. when executing such tests in a
Find-module, where they have to be set, but after the Find-mod‐
ule has been executed they should have the same value as they
had before.
CMAKE_PUSH_CHECK_STATE() macro receives optional argument RESET.
Whether it's specified, CMAKE_PUSH_CHECK_STATE() will set all
CMAKE_REQUIRED_* variables to empty values, same as
CMAKE_RESET_CHECK_STATE() call will do.
Usage:
cmake_push_check_state(RESET)
set(CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS -DSOME_MORE_DEF)
check_function_exists(...)
cmake_reset_check_state()
set(CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS -DANOTHER_DEF)
check_function_exists(...)
cmake_pop_check_state()
CMakeVerifyManifest
CMakeVerifyManifest.cmake
This script is used to verify that embeded manifests and side by
side manifests for a project match. To run this script, cd to a
directory and run the script with cmake -P. On the command line
you can pass in versions that are OK even if not found in the
.manifest files. For example, cmake -Dallow_versions=8.0.50608.0
-PCmakeVerifyManifest.cmake could be used to allow an embeded
manifest of 8.0.50608.0 to be used in a project even if that
version was not found in the .manifest file.
CPack Build binary and source package installers.
The CPack module generates binary and source installers in a
variety of formats using the cpack program. Inclusion of the
CPack module adds two new targets to the resulting makefiles,
package and package_source, which build the binary and source
installers, respectively. The generated binary installers con‐
tain everything installed via CMake's INSTALL command (and the
deprecated INSTALL_FILES, INSTALL_PROGRAMS, and INSTALL_TARGETS
commands).
For certain kinds of binary installers (including the graphical
installers on Mac OS X and Windows), CPack generates installers
that allow users to select individual application components to
install. See CPackComponent module for that.
The CPACK_GENERATOR variable has different meanings in different
contexts. In your CMakeLists.txt file, CPACK_GENERATOR is a
*list of generators*: when run with no other arguments, CPack
will iterate over that list and produce one package for each
generator. In a CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE, though, CPACK_GENERA‐
TOR is a *string naming a single generator*. If you need
per-cpack- generator logic to control *other* cpack settings,
then you need a CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE.
The CMake source tree itself contains a CPACK_PROJECT_CON‐
FIG_FILE. See the top level file CMakeCPackOptions.cmake.in for
an example.
If set, the CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE is included automatically
on a per-generator basis. It only need contain overrides.
Here's how it works:
- cpack runs
- it includes CPackConfig.cmake
- it iterates over the generators listed in that file's
CPACK_GENERATOR list variable (unless told to use just a
specific one via -G on the command line...)
- foreach generator, it then
- sets CPACK_GENERATOR to the one currently being iterated
- includes the CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE
- produces the package for that generator
This is the key: For each generator listed in CPACK_GENERATOR in
CPackConfig.cmake, cpack will *reset* CPACK_GENERATOR internally
to *the one currently being used* and then include the
CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE.
Before including this CPack module in your CMakeLists.txt file,
there are a variety of variables that can be set to customize
the resulting installers. The most commonly-used variables are:
CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME - The name of the package (or application). If
not specified, defaults to the project name.
CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR - The name of the package vendor. (e.g.,
"Kitware").
CPACK_PACKAGE_DIRECTORY - The directory in which CPack is doing its
packaging. If it is not set then this will default (internally) to the
build dir. This variable may be defined in CPack config file or from
the cpack command line option "-B". If set the command line option
override the value found in the config file.
CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR - Package major Version
CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR - Package minor Version
CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH - Package patch Version
CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_FILE - A text file used to describe the
project. Used, for example, the introduction screen of a
CPack-generated Windows installer to describe the project.
CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY - Short description of the
project (only a few words).
CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME - The name of the package file to generate,
not including the extension. For example, cmake-2.6.1-Linux-i686.
The default value is
${CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME}-${CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION}-${CPACK_SYSTEM_NAME}.
CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY - Installation directory on the
target system. This may be used by some CPack generators
like NSIS to create an installation directory e.g., "CMake 2.5"
below the installation prefix. All installed element will be
put inside this directory.
CPACK_PACKAGE_ICON - A branding image that will be displayed inside
the installer (used by GUI installers).
CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE - CPack-time project CPack configuration
file. This file included at cpack time, once per
generator after CPack has set CPACK_GENERATOR to the actual generator
being used. It allows per-generator setting of CPACK_* variables at
cpack time.
CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE - License to be embedded in the installer. It
will typically be displayed to the user by the produced installer
(often with an explicit "Accept" button, for graphical installers)
prior to installation. This license file is NOT added to installed
file but is used by some CPack generators like NSIS. If you want
to install a license file (may be the same as this one)
along with your project you must add an appropriate CMake INSTALL
command in your CMakeLists.txt.
CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_README - ReadMe file to be embedded in the installer. It
typically describes in some detail the purpose of the project
during the installation. Not all CPack generators uses
this file.
CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_WELCOME - Welcome file to be embedded in the
installer. It welcomes users to this installer.
Typically used in the graphical installers on Windows and Mac OS X.
CPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL - Disables the component-based
installation mechanism. When set the component specification is ignored
and all installed items are put in a single "MONOLITHIC" package.
Some CPack generators do monolithic packaging by default and
may be asked to do component packaging by setting
CPACK_<GENNAME>_COMPONENT_INSTALL to 1/TRUE.
CPACK_GENERATOR - List of CPack generators to use. If not
specified, CPack will create a set of options CPACK_BINARY_<GENNAME> (e.g.,
CPACK_BINARY_NSIS) allowing the user to enable/disable individual
generators. This variable may be used on the command line
as well as in:
cpack -D CPACK_GENERATOR="ZIP;TGZ" /path/to/build/tree
CPACK_OUTPUT_CONFIG_FILE - The name of the CPack binary configuration
file. This file is the CPack configuration generated by the CPack module
for binary installers. Defaults to CPackConfig.cmake.
CPACK_PACKAGE_EXECUTABLES - Lists each of the executables and associated
text label to be used to create Start Menu shortcuts. For example,
setting this to the list ccmake;CMake will
create a shortcut named "CMake" that will execute the installed
executable ccmake. Not all CPack generators use it (at least NSIS and
OSXX11 do).
CPACK_STRIP_FILES - List of files to be stripped. Starting with
CMake 2.6.0 CPACK_STRIP_FILES will be a boolean variable which
enables stripping of all files (a list of files evaluates to TRUE
in CMake, so this change is compatible).
The following CPack variables are specific to source packages,
and will not affect binary packages:
CPACK_SOURCE_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME - The name of the source package. For
example cmake-2.6.1.
CPACK_SOURCE_STRIP_FILES - List of files in the source tree that
will be stripped. Starting with CMake 2.6.0
CPACK_SOURCE_STRIP_FILES will be a boolean variable which enables
stripping of all files (a list of files evaluates to TRUE in CMake,
so this change is compatible).
CPACK_SOURCE_GENERATOR - List of generators used for the source
packages. As with CPACK_GENERATOR, if this is not specified then
CPack will create a set of options (e.g., CPACK_SOURCE_ZIP)
allowing users to select which packages will be generated.
CPACK_SOURCE_OUTPUT_CONFIG_FILE - The name of the CPack source
configuration file. This file is the CPack configuration generated by the
CPack module for source installers. Defaults to CPackSourceConfig.cmake.
CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES - Pattern of files in the source tree
that won't be packaged when building a source package. This is a
list of regular expression patterns (that must be properly escaped),
e.g., /CVS/;/\\.svn/;\\.swp$;\\.#;/#;.*~;cscope.*
The following variables are for advanced uses of CPack:
CPACK_CMAKE_GENERATOR - What CMake generator should be used if the
project is CMake project. Defaults to the value of CMAKE_GENERATOR
few users will want to change this setting.
CPACK_INSTALL_CMAKE_PROJECTS - List of four values that specify
what project to install. The four values are: Build directory,
Project Name, Project Component, Directory. If omitted, CPack will
build an installer that installers everything.
CPACK_SYSTEM_NAME - System name, defaults to the value of
${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME}.
CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION - Package full version, used internally. By
default, this is built from CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR,
CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR, and CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH.
CPACK_TOPLEVEL_TAG - Directory for the installed files.
CPACK_INSTALL_COMMANDS - Extra commands to install components.
CPACK_INSTALLED_DIRECTORIES - Extra directories to install.
CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY - Registry key used when
installing this project. This is only used by installer for Windows.
The default value is based on the installation directory.
CPACK_CREATE_DESKTOP_LINKS - List of desktop links to create.
CPackBundle
CPack Bundle generator (Mac OS X) specific options
Installers built on Mac OS X using the Bundle generator use the
aforementioned DragNDrop (CPACK_DMG_xxx) variables, plus the
following Bundle-specific parameters (CPACK_BUNDLE_xxx).
CPACK_BUNDLE_NAME - The name of the generated bundle. This
appears in the OSX finder as the bundle name. Required.
CPACK_BUNDLE_PLIST - Path to an OSX plist file that will be used
for the generated bundle. This assumes that the caller has generated
or specified their own Info.plist file. Required.
CPACK_BUNDLE_ICON - Path to an OSX icon file that will be used as
the icon for the generated bundle. This is the icon that appears in the
OSX finder for the bundle, and in the OSX dock when the bundle is opened.
Required.
CPACK_BUNDLE_STARTUP_COMMAND - Path to a startup script. This is a path to
an executable or script that will be run whenever an end-user double-clicks
the generated bundle in the OSX Finder. Optional.
CPackComponent
Build binary and source package installers
The CPackComponent module is the module which handles the compo‐
nent part of CPack. See CPack module for general information
about CPack.
For certain kinds of binary installers (including the graphical
installers on Mac OS X and Windows), CPack generates installers
that allow users to select individual application components to
install. The contents of each of the components are identified
by the COMPONENT argument of CMake's INSTALL command. These com‐
ponents can be annotated with user-friendly names and descrip‐
tions, inter-component dependencies, etc., and grouped in vari‐
ous ways to customize the resulting installer. See the
cpack_add_* commands, described below, for more information
about component-specific installations.
Component-specific installation allows users to select specific
sets of components to install during the install process.
Installation components are identified by the COMPONENT argument
of CMake's INSTALL commands, and should be further described by
the following CPack commands:
CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL - The list of component to install.
The default value of this variable is computed by CPack and con‐
tains all components defined by the project. The user may set it
to only include the specified components.
CPACK_<GENNAME>_COMPONENT_INSTALL - Enable/Disable component install for
CPack generator <GENNAME>.
Each CPack Generator (RPM, DEB, ARCHIVE, NSIS, DMG, etc...) has
a legacy default behavior. e.g. RPM builds monolithic whereas
NSIS builds component. One can change the default behavior by
setting this variable to 0/1 or OFF/ON.
CPACK_COMPONENTS_GROUPING - Specify how components are grouped for multi-package
component-aware CPack generators.
Some generators like RPM or ARCHIVE family (TGZ, ZIP, ...) gen‐
erates several packages files when asked for component packag‐
ing. They group the component differently depending on the value
of this variable:
- ONE_PER_GROUP (default): creates one package file per component group
- ALL_COMPONENTS_IN_ONE : creates a single package with all (requested) component
- IGNORE : creates one package per component, i.e. IGNORE component group
One can specify different grouping for different CPack generator
by using a CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE.
CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_DISPLAY_NAME - The name to be displayed for a component.
CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_DESCRIPTION - The description of a component.
CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_GROUP - The group of a component.
CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_DEPENDS - The dependencies (list of components)
on which this component depends.
CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_REQUIRED - True is this component is required.
cpack_add_component - Describes a CPack installation component
named by the COMPONENT argument to a CMake INSTALL command.
cpack_add_component(compname
[DISPLAY_NAME name]
[DESCRIPTION description]
[HIDDEN | REQUIRED | DISABLED ]
[GROUP group]
[DEPENDS comp1 comp2 ... ]
[INSTALL_TYPES type1 type2 ... ]
[DOWNLOADED]
[ARCHIVE_FILE filename])
The cmake_add_component command describes an installation compo‐
nent, which the user can opt to install or remove as part of the
graphical installation process. compname is the name of the com‐
ponent, as provided to the COMPONENT argument of one or more
CMake INSTALL commands.
DISPLAY_NAME is the displayed name of the component, used in
graphical installers to display the component name. This value
can be any string.
DESCRIPTION is an extended description of the component, used in
graphical installers to give the user additional information
about the component. Descriptions can span multiple lines using
"\n" as the line separator. Typically, these descriptions should
be no more than a few lines long.
HIDDEN indicates that this component will be hidden in the
graphical installer, so that the user cannot directly change
whether it is installed or not.
REQUIRED indicates that this component is required, and there‐
fore will always be installed. It will be visible in the graphi‐
cal installer, but it cannot be unselected. (Typically, required
components are shown greyed out).
DISABLED indicates that this component should be disabled (unse‐
lected) by default. The user is free to select this component
for installation, unless it is also HIDDEN.
DEPENDS lists the components on which this component depends. If
this component is selected, then each of the components listed
must also be selected. The dependency information is encoded
within the installer itself, so that users cannot install incon‐
sistent sets of components.
GROUP names the component group of which this component is a
part. If not provided, the component will be a standalone compo‐
nent, not part of any component group. Component groups are
described with the cpack_add_component_group command, detailed
below.
INSTALL_TYPES lists the installation types of which this compo‐
nent is a part. When one of these installations types is
selected, this component will automatically be selected. Instal‐
lation types are described with the cpack_add_install_type com‐
mand, detailed below.
DOWNLOADED indicates that this component should be downloaded
on-the-fly by the installer, rather than packaged in with the
installer itself. For more information, see the cpack_config‐
ure_downloads command.
ARCHIVE_FILE provides a name for the archive file created by
CPack to be used for downloaded components. If not supplied,
CPack will create a file with some name based on CPACK_PACK‐
AGE_FILE_NAME and the name of the component. See cpack_config‐
ure_downloads for more information.
cpack_add_component_group - Describes a group of related CPack
installation components.
cpack_add_component_group(groupname
[DISPLAY_NAME name]
[DESCRIPTION description]
[PARENT_GROUP parent]
[EXPANDED]
[BOLD_TITLE])
The cpack_add_component_group describes a group of installation
components, which will be placed together within the listing of
options. Typically, component groups allow the user to
select/deselect all of the components within a single group via
a single group-level option. Use component groups to reduce the
complexity of installers with many options. groupname is an
arbitrary name used to identify the group in the GROUP argument
of the cpack_add_component command, which is used to place a
component in a group. The name of the group must not conflict
with the name of any component.
DISPLAY_NAME is the displayed name of the component group, used
in graphical installers to display the component group name.
This value can be any string.
DESCRIPTION is an extended description of the component group,
used in graphical installers to give the user additional infor‐
mation about the components within that group. Descriptions can
span multiple lines using "\n" as the line separator. Typically,
these descriptions should be no more than a few lines long.
PARENT_GROUP, if supplied, names the parent group of this group.
Parent groups are used to establish a hierarchy of groups, pro‐
viding an arbitrary hierarchy of groups.
EXPANDED indicates that, by default, the group should show up as
"expanded", so that the user immediately sees all of the compo‐
nents within the group. Otherwise, the group will initially show
up as a single entry.
BOLD_TITLE indicates that the group title should appear in bold,
to call the user's attention to the group.
cpack_add_install_type - Add a new installation type containing
a set of predefined component selections to the graphical in‐
staller.
cpack_add_install_type(typename
[DISPLAY_NAME name])
The cpack_add_install_type command identifies a set of prese‐
lected components that represents a common use case for an
application. For example, a "Developer" install type might
include an application along with its header and library files,
while an "End user" install type might just include the applica‐
tion's executable. Each component identifies itself with one or
more install types via the INSTALL_TYPES argument to
cpack_add_component.
DISPLAY_NAME is the displayed name of the install type, which
will typically show up in a drop-down box within a graphical in‐
staller. This value can be any string.
cpack_configure_downloads - Configure CPack to download selected
components on-the-fly as part of the installation process.
cpack_configure_downloads(site
[UPLOAD_DIRECTORY dirname]
[ALL]
[ADD_REMOVE|NO_ADD_REMOVE])
The cpack_configure_downloads command configures installa‐
tion-time downloads of selected components. For each download‐
able component, CPack will create an archive containing the con‐
tents of that component, which should be uploaded to the given
site. When the user selects that component for installation, the
installer will download and extract the component in place. This
feature is useful for creating small installers that only down‐
load the requested components, saving bandwidth. Additionally,
the installers are small enough that they will be installed as
part of the normal installation process, and the "Change" button
in Windows Add/Remove Programs control panel will allow one to
add or remove parts of the application after the original
installation. On Windows, the downloaded-components functional‐
ity requires the ZipDLL plug-in for NSIS, available at:
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ZipDLL_plug-in
On Mac OS X, installers that download components on-the-fly can
only be built and installed on system using Mac OS X 10.5 or
later.
The site argument is a URL where the archives for downloadable
components will reside, e.g.,
http://www.cmake.org/files/2.6.1/installer/ All of the archives
produced by CPack should be uploaded to that location.
UPLOAD_DIRECTORY is the local directory where CPack will create
the various archives for each of the components. The contents of
this directory should be uploaded to a location accessible by
the URL given in the site argument. If omitted, CPack will use
the directory CPackUploads inside the CMake binary directory to
store the generated archives.
The ALL flag indicates that all components be downloaded. Other‐
wise, only those components explicitly marked as DOWNLOADED or
that have a specified ARCHIVE_FILE will be downloaded. Addition‐
ally, the ALL option implies ADD_REMOVE (unless NO_ADD_REMOVE is
specified).
ADD_REMOVE indicates that CPack should install a copy of the in‐
staller that can be called from Windows' Add/Remove Programs
dialog (via the "Modify" button) to change the set of installed
components. NO_ADD_REMOVE turns off this behavior. This option
is ignored on Mac OS X.

CPACK_DMG_DS_STORE - Path to a custom DS_Store file. This .DS_Store
file e.g. can be used to specify the Finder window
position/geometry and layout (such as hidden toolbars, placement of the
icons etc.). This file has to be generated by the Finder (either manually or
through OSA-script) using a normal folder from which the .DS_Store
file can then be extracted.
CPACK_DMG_BACKGROUND_IMAGE - Path to a background image file. This
file will be used as the background for the Finder Window when the disk
image is opened. By default no background image is set. The background
image is applied after applying the custom .DS_Store file.
CPACK_COMMAND_HDIUTIL - Path to the hdiutil(1) command used to
operate on disk image files on Mac OS X. This variable can be used
to override the automatically detected command (or specify its
location if the auto-detection fails to find it.)

extended attributes on files and directories on Mac OS X. This
variable can be used to override the automatically detected
command (or specify its location if the auto-detection fails to
find it.)

resulting PackageMaker archive should be compatible with. Different
versions of Mac OS X support different
features. For example, CPack can only build component-based
installers for Mac OS X 10.4 or newer, and can only build
installers that download component son-the-fly for Mac OS X 10.5
or newer. If left blank, this value will be set to the minimum
version of Mac OS X that supports the requested features. Set this
variable to some value (e.g., 10.4) only if you want to guarantee
that your installer will work on that version of Mac OS X, and
don't mind missing extra features available in the installer
shipping with later versions of Mac OS X.
CPackRPM
The builtin (binary) CPack RPM generator (Unix only)
CPackRPM may be used to create RPM package using CPack. CPackRPM
is a CPack generator thus it uses the CPACK_XXX variables used
by CPack : http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackConfiguration
However CPackRPM has specific features which are controlled by
the specifics CPACK_RPM_XXX variables. CPackRPM is a component
aware generator so when CPACK_RPM_COMPONENT_INSTALL is ON some
more CPACK_RPM_<ComponentName>_XXXX variables may be used in
order to have component specific values. Note however that <com‐
ponentName> refers to the **grouping name**. This may be either
a component name or a component GROUP name. Usually those vars
correspond to RPM spec file entities, one may find information
about spec files here http://www.rpm.org/wiki/Docs. You'll find
a detailed usage of CPackRPM on the wiki:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators#RPM_.28Unix_Only.29
However as a handy reminder here comes the list of specific
variables:

Mandatory : NO
Default : -
This may be set to "noarch" if you
know you are building a noarch package.
CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_RELEASE - The RPM package release.
Mandatory : YES
Default : 1
This is the numbering of the RPM package
itself, i.e. the version of the packaging and not the version of the
content (see CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_VERSION). One may change the default
value if the previous packaging was buggy and/or you want to put here
a fancy Linux distro specific numbering.
CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_LICENSE - The RPM package license policy.
Mandatory : YES
Default : "unknown"
CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_GROUP - The RPM package group.
Mandatory : YES
Default : "unknown"
CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_VENDOR - The RPM package vendor.
Mandatory : YES
Default : CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR if set or "unknown"
CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_URL - The projects URL.
Mandatory : NO
Default : -
CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION - RPM package description.
Mandatory : YES
Default : CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_FILE if set or "no package description available"
CPACK_RPM_COMPRESSION_TYPE - RPM compression type.
Mandatory : NO
Default : -
May be used to override RPM compression type to be used
to build the RPM. For example some Linux distribution now default
to lzma or xz compression whereas older cannot use such RPM.
Using this one can enforce compression type to be used.
Possible value are: lzma, xz, bzip2 and gzip.
CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_REQUIRES - RPM spec requires field.
Mandatory : NO
Default : -
May be used to set RPM dependencies (requires).
Note that you must enclose the complete requires string between quotes,
for example:
set(CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_REQUIRES "python >= 2.5.0, cmake >= 2.8")
The required package list of an RPM file could be printed with
rpm -qp --requires file.rpm
CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_SUGGESTS - RPM spec suggest field.
Mandatory : NO
Default : -
May be used to set weak RPM dependencies (suggests).
Note that you must enclose the complete requires string between quotes.
CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_PROVIDES - RPM spec provides field.
Mandatory : NO
Default : -
May be used to set RPM dependencies (provides).
The provided package list of an RPM file could be printed with
rpm -qp --provides file.rpm
CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_OBSOLETES - RPM spec obsoletes field.
Mandatory : NO
Default : -
May be used to set RPM packages that are obsoleted by this one.
CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_RELOCATABLE - build a relocatable RPM.
Mandatory : NO
Default : CPACK_PACKAGE_RELOCATABLE
If this variable is set to TRUE or ON CPackRPM will try
to build a relocatable RPM package. A relocatable RPM may
be installed using rpm --prefix or --relocate in order to
install it at an alternate place see rpm(8).
Note that currently this may fail if CPACK_SET_DESTDIR is set to ON.
If CPACK_SET_DESTDIR is set then you will get a warning message
but if there is file installed with absolute path you'll get
unexpected behavior.
CPACK_RPM_SPEC_INSTALL_POST - [deprecated].
Mandatory : NO
Default : -
This way of specifying post-install script is deprecated use
CPACK_RPM_POST_INSTALL_SCRIPT_FILE
May be used to set an RPM post-install command inside the spec file.
For example setting it to "/bin/true" may be used to prevent
rpmbuild to strip binaries.
CPACK_RPM_SPEC_MORE_DEFINE - RPM extended spec definitions lines.
Mandatory : NO
Default : -
May be used to add any %define lines to the generated spec file.
CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_DEBUG - Toggle CPackRPM debug output.
Mandatory : NO
Default : -
May be set when invoking cpack in order to trace debug information
during CPack RPM run. For example you may launch CPack like this
cpack -D CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_DEBUG=1 -G RPM
CPACK_RPM_USER_BINARY_SPECFILE - A user provided spec file.
Mandatory : NO
Default : -
May be set by the user in order to specify a USER binary spec file
to be used by CPackRPM instead of generating the file.
The specified file will be processed by configure_file( @ONLY).
One can provide a component specific file by setting
CPACK_RPM_<componentName>_USER_BINARY_SPECFILE.
CPACK_RPM_GENERATE_USER_BINARY_SPECFILE_TEMPLATE - Spec file template.
Mandatory : NO
Default : -
If set CPack will generate a template for USER specified binary
spec file and stop with an error. For example launch CPack like this
cpack -D CPACK_RPM_GENERATE_USER_BINARY_SPECFILE_TEMPLATE=1 -G RPM
The user may then use this file in order to hand-craft is own
binary spec file which may be used with CPACK_RPM_USER_BINARY_SPECFILE.
CPACK_RPM_PRE_INSTALL_SCRIPT_FILE
CPACK_RPM_PRE_UNINSTALL_SCRIPT_FILE
Mandatory : NO
Default : -
May be used to embed a pre (un)installation script in the spec file.
The refered script file(s) will be read and directly
put after the %pre or %preun section
If CPACK_RPM_COMPONENT_INSTALL is set to ON the (un)install script for
each component can be overridden with
CPACK_RPM_<COMPONENT>_PRE_INSTALL_SCRIPT_FILE and
CPACK_RPM_<COMPONENT>_PRE_UNINSTALL_SCRIPT_FILE
One may verify which scriptlet has been included with
rpm -qp --scripts package.rpm
CPACK_RPM_POST_INSTALL_SCRIPT_FILE
CPACK_RPM_POST_UNINSTALL_SCRIPT_FILE
Mandatory : NO
Default : -
May be used to embed a post (un)installation script in the spec file.
The refered script file(s) will be read and directly
put after the %post or %postun section
If CPACK_RPM_COMPONENT_INSTALL is set to ON the (un)install script for
each component can be overridden with
CPACK_RPM_<COMPONENT>_POST_INSTALL_SCRIPT_FILE and
CPACK_RPM_<COMPONENT>_POST_UNINSTALL_SCRIPT_FILE
One may verify which scriptlet has been included with
rpm -qp --scripts package.rpm
CPACK_RPM_USER_FILELIST
CPACK_RPM_<COMPONENT>_USER_FILELIST
Mandatory : NO
Default : -
May be used to explicitly specify %(<directive>) file line
in the spec file. Like %config(noreplace) or any other directive
that be found in the %files section. Since CPackRPM is generating
the list of files (and directories) the user specified files of
the CPACK_RPM_<COMPONENT>_USER_FILELIST list will be removed from the generated list.
CPACK_RPM_CHANGELOG_FILE - RPM changelog file.
Mandatory : NO
Default : -
May be used to embed a changelog in the spec file.
The refered file will be read and directly put after the %changelog
section.
CPACK_RPM_EXCLUDE_FROM_AUTO_FILELIST - list of path to be excluded.
Mandatory : NO
Default : /etc /etc/init.d /usr /usr/share /usr/share/doc /usr/bin /usr/lib /usr/lib64 /usr/include
May be used to exclude path (directories or files) from the auto-generated
list of paths discovered by CPack RPM. The defaut value contains a reasonable
set of values if the variable is not defined by the user. If the variable
is defined by the user then CPackRPM will NOT any of the default path.
If you want to add some path to the default list then you can use
CPACK_RPM_EXCLUDE_FROM_AUTO_FILELIST_ADDITION variable.
CPACK_RPM_EXCLUDE_FROM_AUTO_FILELIST_ADDITION - additional list of path to be excluded.
Mandatory : NO
Default : -
May be used to add more exclude path (directories or files) from the initial
default list of excluded paths. See CPACK_RPM_EXCLUDE_FROM_AUTO_FILELIST.
CPackWIX
CPack WiX generator specific options
The following variables are specific to the installers built on
Windows using WiX.
CPACK_WIX_UPGRADE_GUID - Upgrade GUID (Product/@UpgradeCode)
Will be automatically generated unless explicitly provided.
It should be explicitly set to a constant generated gloabally
unique identifier (GUID) to allow your installers to replace
existing installations that use the same GUID.
You may for example explicitly set this variable in your CMake‐
Lists.txt to the value that has been generated per default. You
should not use GUIDs that you did not generate yourself or which
may belong to other projects.
A GUID shall have the following fixed length syntax:
XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
(each X represents an uppercase hexadecimal digit)
CPACK_WIX_PRODUCT_GUID - Product GUID (Product/@Id)
Will be automatically generated unless explicitly provided.
If explicitly provided this will set the Product Id of your in‐
staller.
The installer will abort if it detects a pre-existing installa‐
tion that uses the same GUID.
The GUID shall use the syntax described for
CPACK_WIX_UPGRADE_GUID.
CPACK_WIX_LICENSE_RTF - RTF License File
If CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE has an .rtf extension it is used
as-is.
If CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE has an .txt extension it is
implicitly converted to RTF by the WiX Generator.
With CPACK_WIX_LICENSE_RTF you can override the license file
used by the WiX Generator in case CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE is
in an unsupported format or the .txt -> .rtf conversion does not
work as expected.
CPACK_WIX_PRODUCT_ICON - The Icon shown next to the program name
in Add/Remove programs.
If set, this icon is used in place of the default icon.
CPACK_WIX_UI_BANNER - The bitmap will appear at the top of all
installer pages other than the welcome and completion dialogs.
If set, this image will replace the default banner image.
This image must be 493 by 58 pixels.
CPACK_WIX_UI_DIALOG - Background bitmap used on the welcome and
completion dialogs.
If this variable is set, the installer will replace the default
dialog image.
This image must be 493 by 312 pixels.
CPACK_WIX_PROGRAM_MENU_FOLDER - Start menu folder name for
launcher.
If this variable is not set, it will be initialized with
CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME
CPACK_WIX_CULTURES - Language(s) of the installer
Languages are compiled into the WixUI extension library. To use
them, simply provide the name of the culture. If you specify
more than one culture identifier in a comma or semicolon delim‐
ited list, the first one that is found will be used. You can
find a list of supported languages at: http://wix.source‐
forge.net/manual-wix3/WixUI_localization.htm
CPACK_WIX_TEMPLATE - Template file for WiX generation
If this variable is set, the specified template will be used to
generate the WiX wxs file. This should be used if further cus‐
tomization of the output is required.
If this variable is not set, the default MSI template included
with CMake will be used.
CTest Configure a project for testing with CTest/CDash
Include this module in the top CMakeLists.txt file of a project
to enable testing with CTest and dashboard submissions to CDash:
project(MyProject)
...
include(CTest)
The module automatically creates a BUILD_TESTING option that
selects whether to enable testing support (ON by default).
After including the module, use code like
if(BUILD_TESTING)
# ... CMake code to create tests ...
endif()
to creating tests when testing is enabled.
To enable submissions to a CDash server, create a CTestCon‐
fig.cmake file at the top of the project with content such as
set(CTEST_PROJECT_NAME "MyProject")
set(CTEST_NIGHTLY_START_TIME "01:00:00 UTC")
set(CTEST_DROP_METHOD "http")
set(CTEST_DROP_SITE "my.cdash.org")
set(CTEST_DROP_LOCATION "/submit.php?project=MyProject")
set(CTEST_DROP_SITE_CDASH TRUE)
(the CDash server can provide the file to a project administra‐
tor who configures 'MyProject'). Settings in the config file are
shared by both this CTest module and the CTest command-line
tool's dashboard script mode (ctest -S).
While building a project for submission to CDash, CTest scans
the build output for errors and warnings and reports them with
surrounding context from the build log. This generic approach
works for all build tools, but does not give details about the
command invocation that produced a given problem. One may get
more detailed reports by adding
set(CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS 1)
to the CTestConfig.cmake file. When this option is enabled, the
CTest module tells CMake's Makefile generators to invoke every
command in the generated build system through a CTest launcher
program. (Currently the CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS option is ignored
on non-Makefile generators.) During a manual build each
launcher transparently runs the command it wraps. During a
CTest-driven build for submission to CDash each launcher reports
detailed information when its command fails or warns. (Setting
CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS in CTestConfig.cmake is convenient, but also
adds the launcher overhead even for manual builds. One may
instead set it in a CTest dashboard script and add it to the
CMake cache for the build tree.)
CTestScriptMode
This file is read by ctest in script mode (-S)
CTestUseLaunchers
Set the RULE_LAUNCH_* global properties when CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS
is on.
CTestUseLaunchers is automatically included when you
include(CTest). However, it is split out into its own module
file so projects can use the CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS functionality
independently.
To use launchers, set CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS to ON in a ctest -S
dashboard script, and then also set it in the cache of the con‐
figured project. Both cmake and ctest need to know the value of
it for the launchers to work properly. CMake needs to know in
order to generate proper build rules, and ctest, in order to
produce the proper error and warning analysis.
For convenience, you may set the ENV variable CTEST_USE_LAUNCH‐
ERS_DEFAULT in your ctest -S script, too. Then, as long as your
CMakeLists uses include(CTest) or include(CTestUseLaunchers), it
will use the value of the ENV variable to initialize a
CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS cache variable. This cache variable initial‐
ization only occurs if CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS is not already
defined.
CheckCCompilerFlag
Check whether the C compiler supports a given flag.
CHECK_C_COMPILER_FLAG(<flag> <var>)
<flag> - the compiler flag
<var> - variable to store the result
This internally calls the check_c_source_compiles macro and sets
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS to <flag>. See help for CheckCSource‐
Compiles for a listing of variables that can otherwise modify
the build. The result only tells that the compiler does not give
an error message when it encounters the flag. If the flag has
any effect or even a specific one is beyond the scope of this
module.
CheckCSourceCompiles
Check if given C source compiles and links into an executable
CHECK_C_SOURCE_COMPILES(<code> <var> [FAIL_REGEX <fail-regex>])
<code> - source code to try to compile, must define 'main'
<var> - variable to store whether the source code compiled
<fail-regex> - fail if test output matches this regex
The following variables may be set before calling this macro to
modify the way the check is run:
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES = list of include directories
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES = list of libraries to link
CheckCSourceRuns
Check if the given C source code compiles and runs.
CHECK_C_SOURCE_RUNS(<code> <var>)

modify the way the check is run:
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES = list of include directories
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES = list of libraries to link
CheckCXXCompilerFlag
Check whether the CXX compiler supports a given flag.
CHECK_CXX_COMPILER_FLAG(<flag> <var>)
<flag> - the compiler flag
<var> - variable to store the result
This internally calls the check_cxx_source_compiles macro and
sets CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS to <flag>. See help for Check‐
CXXSourceCompiles for a listing of variables that can otherwise
modify the build. The result only tells that the compiler does
not give an error message when it encounters the flag. If the
flag has any effect or even a specific one is beyond the scope
of this module.
CheckCXXSourceCompiles
Check if given C++ source compiles and links into an executable
CHECK_CXX_SOURCE_COMPILES(<code> <var> [FAIL_REGEX
<fail-regex>])
<code> - source code to try to compile, must define 'main'

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES = list of libraries to link
CheckCXXSymbolExists
Check if a symbol exists as a function, variable, or macro in
C++
CHECK_CXX_SYMBOL_EXISTS(<symbol> <files> <variable>)
Check that the <symbol> is available after including given
header <files> and store the result in a <variable>. Specify
the list of files in one argument as a semicolon-separated list.
CHECK_CXX_SYMBOL_EXISTS() can be used to check in C++ files, as
opposed to CHECK_SYMBOL_EXISTS(), which works only for C.
If the header files define the symbol as a macro it is consid‐
ered available and assumed to work. If the header files declare
the symbol as a function or variable then the symbol must also
be available for linking. If the symbol is a type or enum value
it will not be recognized (consider using CheckTypeSize or
CheckCSourceCompiles).
The following variables may be set before calling this macro to
modify the way the check is run:
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES = list of include directories
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES = list of libraries to link
CheckFortranFunctionExists

CheckFunctionExists
Check if a C function can be linked
CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS(<function> <variable>)

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES = list of include directories
CheckLanguage
Check if a language can be enabled
Usage:
check_language(<lang>)
where <lang> is a language that may be passed to enable_lan‐
guage() such as "Fortran". If CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILER is already
defined the check does nothing. Otherwise it tries enabling the
language in a test project. The result is cached in
CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILER as the compiler that was found, or NOT‐
FOUND if the language cannot be enabled.
Example:
check_language(Fortran)if(CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER)enable_language(Fortran)else()
message(STATUS "No Fortran support")
endif()
CheckLibraryExists
Check if the function exists.
CHECK_LIBRARY_EXISTS (LIBRARY FUNCTION LOCATION VARIABLE)
LIBRARY - the name of the library you are looking for
FUNCTION - the name of the function
LOCATION - location where the library should be found
VARIABLE - variable to store the result
The following variables may be set before calling this macro to
modify the way the check is run:

RETURN - The return value of the function.
HEADER - The header files required.
VARIABLE - The variable to store the result.
Example:
check_prototype_definition(getpwent_r
"struct passwd *getpwent_r(struct passwd *src, char *buf, int buflen)"
"NULL"
"unistd.h;pwd.h"
SOLARIS_GETPWENT_R)
The following variables may be set before calling this macro to
modify the way the check is run:
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES = list of include directories
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES = list of libraries to link
CheckStructHasMember
Check if the given struct or class has the specified member
variable
CHECK_STRUCT_HAS_MEMBER (STRUCT MEMBER HEADER VARIABLE)
STRUCT - the name of the struct or class you are interested in
MEMBER - the member which existence you want to check
HEADER - the header(s) where the prototype should be declared
VARIABLE - variable to store the result
The following variables may be set before calling this macro to
modify the way the check is run:
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES = list of include directories
Example: CHECK_STRUCT_HAS_MEMBER("struct timeval" tv_sec
sys/select.h HAVE_TIMEVAL_TV_SEC)
CheckSymbolExists
Check if a symbol exists as a function, variable, or macro
CHECK_SYMBOL_EXISTS(<symbol> <files> <variable>)
Check that the <symbol> is available after including given
header <files> and store the result in a <variable>. Specify
the list of files in one argument as a semicolon-separated list.
If the header files define the symbol as a macro it is consid‐
ered available and assumed to work. If the header files declare
the symbol as a function or variable then the symbol must also
be available for linking. If the symbol is a type or enum value
it will not be recognized (consider using CheckTypeSize or
CheckCSourceCompiles). If the check needs to be done in C++,
consider using CHECK_CXX_SYMBOL_EXISTS(), which does the same as
CHECK_SYMBOL_EXISTS(), but in C++.
The following variables may be set before calling this macro to
modify the way the check is run:
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES = list of include directories
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES = list of libraries to link
CheckTypeSize
Check sizeof a type
CHECK_TYPE_SIZE(TYPE VARIABLE [BUILTIN_TYPES_ONLY])
Check if the type exists and determine its size. On return,
"HAVE_${VARIABLE}" holds the existence of the type, and "${VARI‐
ABLE}" holds one of the following:
<size> = type has non-zero size <size>
"0" = type has arch-dependent size (see below)
"" = type does not exist
Furthermore, the variable "${VARIABLE}_CODE" holds C preproces‐
sor code to define the macro "${VARIABLE}" to the size of the
type, or leave the macro undefined if the type does not exist.
The variable "${VARIABLE}" may be "0" when CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITEC‐
TURES has multiple architectures for building OS X universal
binaries. This indicates that the type size varies across archi‐
tectures. In this case "${VARIABLE}_CODE" contains C preproces‐
sor tests mapping from each architecture macro to the corre‐
sponding type size. The list of architecture macros is stored in
"${VARIABLE}_KEYS", and the value for each key is stored in
"${VARIABLE}-${KEY}".
If the BUILTIN_TYPES_ONLY option is not given, the macro checks
for headers <sys/types.h>, <stdint.h>, and <stddef.h>, and saves
results in HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H, HAVE_STDINT_H, and HAVE_STDDEF_H.
The type size check automatically includes the available head‐
ers, thus supporting checks of types defined in the headers.
Despite the name of the macro you may use it to check the size
of more complex expressions, too. To check e.g. for the size of
a struct member you can do something like this:
check_type_size("((struct something*)0)->member" SIZEOF_MEMBER)
The following variables may be set before calling this macro to
modify the way the check is run:
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES = list of include directories
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES = list of libraries to link
CMAKE_EXTRA_INCLUDE_FILES = list of extra headers to include
CheckVariableExists
Check if the variable exists.
CHECK_VARIABLE_EXISTS(VAR VARIABLE)
VAR - the name of the variable
VARIABLE - variable to store the result
This macro is only for C variables.
The following variables may be set before calling this macro to
modify the way the check is run:
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES = list of libraries to link
Dart Configure a project for testing with CTest or old Dart Tcl
Client
This file is the backwards-compatibility version of the CTest
module. It supports using the old Dart 1 Tcl client for driving
dashboard submissions as well as testing with CTest. This mod‐
ule should be included in the CMakeLists.txt file at the top of
a project. Typical usage:
include(Dart)if(BUILD_TESTING)
# ... testing related CMake code ...
endif()
The BUILD_TESTING option is created by the Dart module to deter‐
mine whether testing support should be enabled. The default is
ON.
DeployQt4
Functions to help assemble a standalone Qt4 executable.
A collection of CMake utility functions useful for deploying Qt4
executables.
The following functions are provided by this module:
write_qt4_conf
resolve_qt4_paths
fixup_qt4_executable
install_qt4_plugin_path
install_qt4_plugin
install_qt4_executable
Requires CMake 2.6 or greater because it uses function and PAR‐
ENT_SCOPE. Also depends on BundleUtilities.cmake.
WRITE_QT4_CONF(<qt_conf_dir> <qt_conf_contents>)
Writes a qt.conf file with the <qt_conf_contents> into
<qt_conf_dir>.
RESOLVE_QT4_PATHS(<paths_var> [<executable_path>])
Loop through <paths_var> list and if any don't exist resolve
them relative to the <executable_path> (if supplied) or the
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
FIXUP_QT4_EXECUTABLE(<executable> [<qtplugins> <libs> <dirs> <plugins_dir> <request_qt_conf>])
Copies Qt plugins, writes a Qt configuration file (if needed)
and fixes up a Qt4 executable using BundleUtilities so it is
standalone and can be drag-and-drop copied to another machine as
long as all of the system libraries are compatible.
<executable> should point to the executable to be fixed-up.
<qtplugins> should contain a list of the names or paths of any
Qt plugins to be installed.
<libs> will be passed to BundleUtilities and should be a list of
any already installed plugins, libraries or executables to also
be fixed-up.
<dirs> will be passed to BundleUtilities and should contain and
directories to be searched to find library dependencies.
<plugins_dir> allows an custom plugins directory to be used.
<request_qt_conf> will force a qt.conf file to be written even
if not needed.
INSTALL_QT4_PLUGIN_PATH(plugin executable copy installed_plugin_path_var <plugins_dir> <component> <configurations>)
Install (or copy) a resolved <plugin> to the default plugins
directory (or <plugins_dir>) relative to <executable> and store
the result in <installed_plugin_path_var>.
If <copy> is set to TRUE then the plugins will be copied rather
than installed. This is to allow this module to be used at CMake
time rather than install time.
If <component> is set then anything installed will use this COM‐
PONENT.
INSTALL_QT4_PLUGIN(plugin executable copy installed_plugin_path_var <plugins_dir> <component>)
Install (or copy) an unresolved <plugin> to the default plugins
directory (or <plugins_dir>) relative to <executable> and store
the result in <installed_plugin_path_var>. See documentation of
INSTALL_QT4_PLUGIN_PATH.
INSTALL_QT4_EXECUTABLE(<executable> [<qtplugins> <libs> <dirs> <plugins_dir> <request_qt_conf> <component>])
Installs Qt plugins, writes a Qt configuration file (if needed)
and fixes up a Qt4 executable using BundleUtilities so it is
standalone and can be drag-and-drop copied to another machine as
long as all of the system libraries are compatible. The exe‐
cutable will be fixed-up at install time. <component> is the
COMPONENT used for bundle fixup and plugin installation. See
documentation of FIXUP_QT4_BUNDLE.

ExternalData
Manage data files stored outside source tree
Use this module to unambiguously reference data files stored
outside the source tree and fetch them at build time from arbi‐
trary local and remote content-addressed locations. Functions
provided by this module recognize arguments with the syntax
"DATA{<name>}" as references to external data, replace them with
full paths to local copies of those data, and create build rules
to fetch and update the local copies.
The DATA{} syntax is literal and the <name> is a full or rela‐
tive path within the source tree. The source tree must contain
either a real data file at <name> or a "content link" at
<name><ext> containing a hash of the real file using a hash
algorithm corresponding to <ext>. For example, the argument
"DATA{img.png}" may be satisfied by either a real "img.png" file
in the current source directory or a "img.png.md5" file contain‐
ing its MD5 sum.
The 'ExternalData_Expand_Arguments' function evaluates DATA{}
references in its arguments and constructs a new list of argu‐
ments:
ExternalData_Expand_Arguments(
<target> # Name of data management target
<outVar> # Output variable
[args...] # Input arguments, DATA{} allowed
)
It replaces each DATA{} reference in an argument with the full
path of a real data file on disk that will exist after the <tar‐
get> builds.
The 'ExternalData_Add_Test' function wraps around the CMake
add_test() command but supports DATA{} references in its argu‐
ments:
ExternalData_Add_Test(
<target> # Name of data management target
... # Arguments of add_test(), DATA{} allowed
)
It passes its arguments through ExternalData_Expand_Arguments
and then invokes add_test() using the results.
The 'ExternalData_Add_Target' function creates a custom target
to manage local instances of data files stored externally:
ExternalData_Add_Target(
<target> # Name of data management target
)
It creates custom commands in the target as necessary to make
data files available for each DATA{} reference previously evalu‐
ated by other functions provided by this module. A list of URL
templates must be provided in the variable ExternalData_URL_TEM‐
PLATES using the placeholders "%(algo)" and "%(hash)" in each
template. Data fetch rules try each URL template in order by
substituting the hash algorithm name for "%(algo)" and the hash
value for "%(hash)".
The following hash algorithms are supported:
%(algo) <ext> Description
------------ -----------
MD5 .md5 Message-Digest Algorithm 5, RFC 1321
SHA1 .sha1 US Secure Hash Algorithm 1, RFC 3174
SHA224 .sha224 US Secure Hash Algorithms, RFC 4634
SHA256 .sha256 US Secure Hash Algorithms, RFC 4634
SHA384 .sha384 US Secure Hash Algorithms, RFC 4634
SHA512 .sha512 US Secure Hash Algorithms, RFC 4634
Note that the hashes are used only for unique data identifica‐
tion and download verification. This is not security software.
Example usage:
include(ExternalData)
set(ExternalData_URL_TEMPLATES "file:///local/%(algo)/%(hash)"
"http://data.org/%(algo)/%(hash)")
ExternalData_Add_Test(MyData
NAME MyTest
COMMAND MyExe DATA{MyInput.png}
)
ExternalData_Add_Target(MyData)
When test "MyTest" runs the "DATA{MyInput.png}" argument will be
replaced by the full path to a real instance of the data file
"MyInput.png" on disk. If the source tree contains a content
link such as "MyInput.png.md5" then the "MyData" target creates
a real "MyInput.png" in the build tree.
The DATA{} syntax can be told to fetch a file series using the
form "DATA{<name>,:}", where the ":" is literal. If the source
tree contains a group of files or content links named like a
series then a reference to one member adds rules to fetch all of
them. Although all members of a series are fetched, only the
file originally named by the DATA{} argument is substituted for
it. The default configuration recognizes file series names end‐
ing with "#.ext", "_#.ext", ".#.ext", or "-#.ext" where "#" is a
sequence of decimal digits and ".ext" is any single extension.
Configure it with a regex that parses <number> and <suffix>
parts from the end of <name>:
ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE = regex of the form (<number>)(<suffix>)$
For more complicated cases set:
ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE = regex with at least two () groups
ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE_PREFIX = <prefix> regex group number, if any
ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE_NUMBER = <number> regex group number
ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE_SUFFIX = <suffix> regex group number
Configure series number matching with a regex that matches the
<number> part of series members named <prefix><number><suffix>:
ExternalData_SERIES_MATCH = regex matching <number> in all series members
Note that the <suffix> of a series does not include a hash-algo‐
rithm extension.
The DATA{} syntax can alternatively match files associated with
the named file and contained in the same directory. Associated
files may be specified by options using the syntax
DATA{<name>,<opt1>,<opt2>,...}. Each option may specify one
file by name or specify a regular expression to match file names
using the syntax REGEX:<regex>. For example, the arguments
DATA{MyData/MyInput.mhd,MyInput.img} # File pair
DATA{MyData/MyFrames00.png,REGEX:MyFrames[0-9]+\\.png} # Series
will pass MyInput.mha and MyFrames00.png on the command line but
ensure that the associated files are present next to them.
The DATA{} syntax may reference a directory using a trailing
slash and a list of associated files. The form
DATA{<name>/,<opt1>,<opt2>,...} adds rules to fetch any files in
the directory that match one of the associated file options.
For example, the argument DATA{MyDataDir/,REGEX:.*} will pass
the full path to a MyDataDir directory on the command line and
ensure that the directory contains files corresponding to every
file or content link in the MyDataDir source directory.
The variable ExternalData_LINK_CONTENT may be set to the name of
a supported hash algorithm to enable automatic conversion of
real data files referenced by the DATA{} syntax into content
links. For each such <file> a content link named "<file><ext>"
is created. The original file is renamed to the form ".Exter‐
nalData_<algo>_<hash>" to stage it for future transmission to
one of the locations in the list of URL templates (by means out‐
side the scope of this module). The data fetch rule created for
the content link will use the staged object if it cannot be
found using any URL template.
The variable ExternalData_OBJECT_STORES may be set to a list of
local directories that store objects using the layout
<dir>/%(algo)/%(hash). These directories will be searched first
for a needed object. If the object is not available in any
store then it will be fetched remotely using the URL templates
and added to the first local store listed. If no stores are
specified the default is a location inside the build tree.
The variable ExternalData_SOURCE_ROOT may be set to the highest
source directory containing any path named by a DATA{} refer‐
ence. The default is CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR. External‐
Data_SOURCE_ROOT and CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR must refer to directories
within a single source distribution (e.g. they come together in
one tarball).
The variable ExternalData_BINARY_ROOT may be set to the direc‐
tory to hold the real data files named by expanded DATA{} refer‐
ences. The default is CMAKE_BINARY_DIR. The directory layout
will mirror that of content links under External‐
Data_SOURCE_ROOT.
Variables ExternalData_TIMEOUT_INACTIVITY and ExternalData_TIME‐
OUT_ABSOLUTE set the download inactivity and absolute timeouts,
in seconds. The defaults are 60 seconds and 300 seconds,
respectively. Set either timeout to 0 seconds to disable
enforcement.
ExternalProject
Create custom targets to build projects in external trees
The 'ExternalProject_Add' function creates a custom target to
drive download, update/patch, configure, build, install and test
steps of an external project:
ExternalProject_Add(<name> # Name for custom target
[DEPENDS projects...] # Targets on which the project depends
[PREFIX dir] # Root dir for entire project

[LOG_TEST 1] # Wrap test in script to log output
[LOG_INSTALL 1] # Wrap install in script to log output
#--Custom targets-------------
[STEP_TARGETS st1 st2 ...] # Generate custom targets for these steps
)
The *_DIR options specify directories for the project, with
default directories computed as follows. If the PREFIX option is
given to ExternalProject_Add() or the EP_PREFIX directory prop‐
erty is set, then an external project is built and installed
under the specified prefix:
TMP_DIR = <prefix>/tmp
STAMP_DIR = <prefix>/src/<name>-stamp
DOWNLOAD_DIR = <prefix>/src
SOURCE_DIR = <prefix>/src/<name>
BINARY_DIR = <prefix>/src/<name>-build
INSTALL_DIR = <prefix>
Otherwise, if the EP_BASE directory property is set then compo‐
nents of an external project are stored under the specified
base:
TMP_DIR = <base>/tmp/<name>
STAMP_DIR = <base>/Stamp/<name>
DOWNLOAD_DIR = <base>/Download/<name>
SOURCE_DIR = <base>/Source/<name>
BINARY_DIR = <base>/Build/<name>
INSTALL_DIR = <base>/Install/<name>
If no PREFIX, EP_PREFIX, or EP_BASE is specified then the
default is to set PREFIX to "<name>-prefix". Relative paths are
interpreted with respect to the build directory corresponding to
the source directory in which ExternalProject_Add is invoked.
If SOURCE_DIR is explicitly set to an existing directory the
project will be built from it. Otherwise a download step must be
specified using one of the DOWNLOAD_COMMAND, CVS_*, SVN_*, or
URL options. The URL option may refer locally to a directory or
source tarball, or refer to a remote tarball (e.g.
http://.../src.tgz).
The 'ExternalProject_Add_Step' function adds a custom step to an
external project:
ExternalProject_Add_Step(<name> <step> # Names of project and custom step
[COMMAND cmd...] # Command line invoked by this step
[COMMENT "text..."] # Text printed when step executes
[DEPENDEES steps...] # Steps on which this step depends
[DEPENDERS steps...] # Steps that depend on this step
[DEPENDS files...] # Files on which this step depends
[ALWAYS 1] # No stamp file, step always runs
[WORKING_DIRECTORY dir] # Working directory for command
[LOG 1] # Wrap step in script to log output
)
The command line, comment, and working directory of every stan‐
dard and custom step is processed to replace tokens
<SOURCE_DIR>, <BINARY_DIR>, <INSTALL_DIR>, and <TMP_DIR> with
corresponding property values.
Any builtin step that specifies a "<step>_COMMAND cmd..." or
custom step that specifies a "COMMAND cmd..." may specify addi‐
tional command lines using the form "COMMAND cmd...". At build
time the commands will be executed in order and aborted if any
one fails. For example:
... BUILD_COMMAND make COMMAND echo done ...
specifies to run "make" and then "echo done" during the build
step. Whether the current working directory is preserved between
commands is not defined. Behavior of shell operators like "&&"
is not defined.
The 'ExternalProject_Get_Property' function retrieves external
project target properties:
ExternalProject_Get_Property(<name> [prop1 [prop2 [...]]])
It stores property values in variables of the same name. Prop‐
erty names correspond to the keyword argument names of 'Exter‐
nalProject_Add'.
The 'ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets' function generates custom
targets for the steps listed:
ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets(<name> [step1 [step2 [...]]])
If STEP_TARGETS is set then ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets is
automatically called at the end of matching calls to External‐
Project_Add_Step. Pass STEP_TARGETS explicitly to individual
ExternalProject_Add calls, or implicitly to all ExternalPro‐
ject_Add calls by setting the directory property EP_STEP_TAR‐
GETS.
If STEP_TARGETS is not set, clients may still manually call
ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets after calling ExternalPro‐
ject_Add or ExternalProject_Add_Step.
This functionality is provided to make it easy to drive the
steps independently of each other by specifying targets on build
command lines. For example, you may be submitting to a
sub-project based dashboard, where you want to drive the config‐
ure portion of the build, then submit to the dashboard, followed
by the build portion, followed by tests. If you invoke a custom
target that depends on a step halfway through the step depen‐
dency chain, then all the previous steps will also run to ensure
everything is up to date.
For example, to drive configure, build and test steps indepen‐
dently for each ExternalProject_Add call in your project, write
the following line prior to any ExternalProject_Add calls in
your CMakeLists file:
set_property(DIRECTORY PROPERTY EP_STEP_TARGETS configure build test)
FeatureSummary
Macros for generating a summary of enabled/disabled features
This module provides the macros feature_summary(), set_pack‐
age_properties() and add_feature_info(). For compatibility it
also still provides set_package_info(), set_feature_info(),
print_enabled_features() and print_disabled_features().
These macros can be used to generate a summary of enabled and
disabled packages and/or feature for a build tree:
-- The following OPTIONAL packages have been found:
LibXml2 (required version >= 2.4) , XML processing library. , <http://xmlsoft.org>
* Enables HTML-import in MyWordProcessor
* Enables odt-export in MyWordProcessor
PNG , A PNG image library. , <http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/>
* Enables saving screenshots
-- The following OPTIONAL packages have not been found:
Lua51 , The Lua scripting language. , <http://www.lua.org>
* Enables macros in MyWordProcessor
Foo , Foo provides cool stuff.
FEATURE_SUMMARY( [FILENAME <file>]
[APPEND]
[VAR <variable_name>]
[INCLUDE_QUIET_PACKAGES]
[FATAL_ON_MISSING_REQUIRED_PACKAGES]
[DESCRIPTION "Found packages:"]
WHAT (ALL | PACKAGES_FOUND | PACKAGES_NOT_FOUND
| ENABLED_FEATURES | DISABLED_FEATURES]
)
The FEATURE_SUMMARY() macro can be used to print information
about enabled or disabled packages or features of a project. By
default, only the names of the features/packages will be printed
and their required version when one was specified. Use SET_PACK‐
AGE_PROPERTIES() to add more useful information, like e.g. a
download URL for the respective package or their purpose in the
project.
The WHAT option is the only mandatory option. Here you specify
what information will be printed:
ALL: print everything
ENABLED_FEATURES: the list of all features which are enabled
DISABLED_FEATURES: the list of all features which are disabled
PACKAGES_FOUND: the list of all packages which have been found
PACKAGES_NOT_FOUND: the list of all packages which have not been found
OPTIONAL_PACKAGES_FOUND: only those packages which have been found which have the type OPTIONAL
OPTIONAL_PACKAGES_NOT_FOUND: only those packages which have not been found which have the type OPTIONAL
RECOMMENDED_PACKAGES_FOUND: only those packages which have been found which have the type RECOMMENDED
RECOMMENDED_PACKAGES_NOT_FOUND: only those packages which have not been found which have the type RECOMMENDED
REQUIRED_PACKAGES_FOUND: only those packages which have been found which have the type REQUIRED
REQUIRED_PACKAGES_NOT_FOUND: only those packages which have not been found which have the type REQUIRED
RUNTIME_PACKAGES_FOUND: only those packages which have been found which have the type RUNTIME
RUNTIME_PACKAGES_NOT_FOUND: only those packages which have not been found which have the type RUNTIME
If a FILENAME is given, the information is printed into this
file. If APPEND is used, it is appended to this file, otherwise
the file is overwritten if it already existed. If the VAR option
is used, the information is "printed" into the specified vari‐
able. If FILENAME is not used, the information is printed to the
terminal. Using the DESCRIPTION option a description or headline
can be set which will be printed above the actual content. If
INCLUDE_QUIET_PACKAGES is given, packages which have been
searched with find_package(... QUIET) will also be listed. By
default they are skipped. If FATAL_ON_MISSING_REQUIRED_PACKAGES
is given, CMake will abort if a package which is marked as
REQUIRED has not been found.
Example 1, append everything to a file:
feature_summary(WHAT ALL
FILENAME ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/all.log APPEND)
Example 2, print the enabled features into the variable enabled‐
FeaturesText, including QUIET packages:
feature_summary(WHAT ENABLED_FEATURES
INCLUDE_QUIET_PACKAGES
DESCRIPTION "Enabled Features:"
VAR enabledFeaturesText)
message(STATUS "${enabledFeaturesText}")
SET_PACKAGE_PROPERTIES(<name> PROPERTIES [ URL <url> ]
[ DESCRIPTION <description> ]
[ TYPE (RUNTIME|OPTIONAL|RECOMMENDED|REQUIRED) ]
[ PURPOSE <purpose> ]
)
Use this macro to set up information about the named package,
which can then be displayed via FEATURE_SUMMARY(). This can be
done either directly in the Find-module or in the project which
uses the module after the find_package() call. The features for
which information can be set are added automatically by the
find_package() command.
URL: this should be the homepage of the package, or something
similar. Ideally this is set already directly in the Find-mod‐
ule.
DESCRIPTION: A short description what that package is, at most
one sentence. Ideally this is set already directly in the
Find-module.
TYPE: What type of dependency has the using project on that
package. Default is OPTIONAL. In this case it is a package which
can be used by the project when available at buildtime, but it
also work without. RECOMMENDED is similar to OPTIONAL, i.e. the
project will build if the package is not present, but the func‐
tionality of the resulting binaries will be severly limited. If
a REQUIRED package is not available at buildtime, the project
may not even build. This can be combined with the FATAL_ON_MISS‐
ING_REQUIRED_PACKAGES argument for feature_summary(). Last, a
RUNTIME package is a package which is actually not used at all
during the build, but which is required for actually running the
resulting binaries. So if such a package is missing, the project
can still be built, but it may not work later on. If set_pack‐
age_properties() is called multiple times for the same package
with different TYPEs, the TYPE is only changed to higher TYPEs (
RUNTIME < OPTIONAL < RECOMMENDED < REQUIRED ), lower TYPEs are
ignored. The TYPE property is project-specific, so it cannot be
set by the Find-module, but must be set in the project.
PURPOSE: This describes which features this package enables in
the project, i.e. it tells the user what functionality he gets
in the resulting binaries. If set_package_properties() is called
multiple times for a package, all PURPOSE properties are
appended to a list of purposes of the package in the project. As
the TYPE property, also the PURPOSE property is project-spe‐
cific, so it cannot be set by the Find-module, but must be set
in the project.
Example for setting the info for a package:
find_package(LibXml2)
set_package_properties(LibXml2 PROPERTIES DESCRIPTION "A XML processing library."
URL "http://xmlsoft.org/")
set_package_properties(LibXml2 PROPERTIES TYPE RECOMMENDED
PURPOSE "Enables HTML-import in MyWordProcessor")
...
set_package_properties(LibXml2 PROPERTIES TYPE OPTIONAL
PURPOSE "Enables odt-export in MyWordProcessor")
find_package(DBUS)
set_package_properties(DBUS PROPERTIES TYPE RUNTIME
PURPOSE "Necessary to disable the screensaver during a presentation" )
ADD_FEATURE_INFO(<name> <enabled> <description>)
Use this macro to add information about a feature with the given
<name>. <enabled> contains whether this feature is enabled or
not, <description> is a text describing the feature. The infor‐
mation can be displayed using feature_summary() for ENABLED_FEA‐
TURES and DISABLED_FEATURES respectively.
Example for setting the info for a feature:
option(WITH_FOO "Help for foo" ON)
add_feature_info(Foo WITH_FOO "The Foo feature provides very cool stuff.")
The following macros are provided for compatibility with previ‐
ous CMake versions:
SET_PACKAGE_INFO(<name> <description> [<url> [<purpose>] ] )
Use this macro to set up information about the named package,
which can then be displayed via FEATURE_SUMMARY(). This can be
done either directly in the Find-module or in the project which
uses the module after the find_package() call. The features for
which information can be set are added automatically by the
find_package() command.
PRINT_ENABLED_FEATURES()
Does the same as FEATURE_SUMMARY(WHAT ENABLED_FEATURES DESCRIP‐
TION "Enabled features:")
PRINT_DISABLED_FEATURES()
Does the same as FEATURE_SUMMARY(WHAT DISABLED_FEATURES
DESCRIPTION "Disabled features:")
SET_FEATURE_INFO(<name> <description> [<url>] )
Does the same as SET_PACKAGE_INFO(<name> <description> <url> )

FindBISON
Find bison executable and provides macros to generate custom
build rules
The module defines the following variables:
BISON_EXECUTABLE - path to the bison program
BISON_VERSION - version of bison
BISON_FOUND - true if the program was found
The minimum required version of bison can be specified using the
standard CMake syntax, e.g. find_package(BISON 2.1.3)
If bison is found, the module defines the macros:
BISON_TARGET(<Name> <YaccInput> <CodeOutput> [VERBOSE <file>]
[COMPILE_FLAGS <string>])
which will create a custom rule to generate a parser. <YaccIn‐
put> is the path to a yacc file. <CodeOutput> is the name of
the source file generated by bison. A header file is also be
generated, and contains the token list. If COMPILE_FLAGS
option is specified, the next parameter is added in the
bison command line. if VERBOSE option is specified, <file> is
created and contains verbose descriptions of the grammar and
parser. The macro defines a set of variables:
BISON_${Name}_DEFINED - true is the macro ran successfully
BISON_${Name}_INPUT - The input source file, an alias for <YaccInput>
BISON_${Name}_OUTPUT_SOURCE - The source file generated by bison
BISON_${Name}_OUTPUT_HEADER - The header file generated by bison
BISON_${Name}_OUTPUTS - The sources files generated by bison
BISON_${Name}_COMPILE_FLAGS - Options used in the bison command line
====================================================================
Example:
find_package(BISON)
BISON_TARGET(MyParser parser.y ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/parser.cpp)
add_executable(Foo main.cpp ${BISON_MyParser_OUTPUTS})
====================================================================
FindBLAS
Find BLAS library
This module finds an installed fortran library that implements
the BLAS linear-algebra interface (see
http://www.netlib.org/blas/). The list of libraries searched for
is taken from the autoconf macro file, acx_blas.m4 (distributed
at http://ac-archive.sourceforge.net/ac-archive/acx_blas.html).
This module sets the following variables:
BLAS_FOUND - set to true if a library implementing the BLAS interface
is found
BLAS_LINKER_FLAGS - uncached list of required linker flags (excluding -l
and -L).
BLAS_LIBRARIES - uncached list of libraries (using full path name) to
link against to use BLAS
BLAS95_LIBRARIES - uncached list of libraries (using full path name)
to link against to use BLAS95 interface
BLAS95_FOUND - set to true if a library implementing the BLAS f95 interface
is found
BLA_STATIC if set on this determines what kind of linkage we do (static)
BLA_VENDOR if set checks only the specified vendor, if not set checks
all the possibilities
BLA_F95 if set on tries to find the f95 interfaces for BLAS/LAPACK
C/CXX should be enabled to use Intel mkl
FindBZip2
Try to find BZip2
Once done this will define
BZIP2_FOUND - system has BZip2
BZIP2_INCLUDE_DIR - the BZip2 include directory
BZIP2_LIBRARIES - Link these to use BZip2
BZIP2_NEED_PREFIX - this is set if the functions are prefixed with BZ2_
BZIP2_VERSION_STRING - the version of BZip2 found (since CMake 2.8.8)
FindBoost
Find Boost include dirs and libraries
Use this module by invoking find_package with the form:
find_package(Boost
[version] [EXACT] # Minimum or EXACT version e.g. 1.36.0
[REQUIRED] # Fail with error if Boost is not found
[COMPONENTS <libs>...] # Boost libraries by their canonical name
) # e.g. "date_time" for "libboost_date_time"
This module finds headers and requested component libraries OR a
CMake package configuration file provided by a "Boost CMake"
build. For the latter case skip to the "Boost CMake" section
below. For the former case results are reported in variables:
Boost_FOUND - True if headers and requested libraries were found
Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS - Boost include directories
Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS - Link directories for Boost libraries
Boost_LIBRARIES - Boost component libraries to be linked
Boost_<C>_FOUND - True if component <C> was found (<C> is upper-case)
Boost_<C>_LIBRARY - Libraries to link for component <C> (may include
target_link_libraries debug/optimized keywords)
Boost_VERSION - BOOST_VERSION value from boost/version.hpp
Boost_LIB_VERSION - Version string appended to library filenames
Boost_MAJOR_VERSION - Boost major version number (X in X.y.z)
Boost_MINOR_VERSION - Boost minor version number (Y in x.Y.z)
Boost_SUBMINOR_VERSION - Boost subminor version number (Z in x.y.Z)
Boost_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC_DEFINITIONS (Windows)
- Pass to add_definitions() to have diagnostic
information about Boost's automatic linking
displayed during compilation
This module reads hints about search locations from variables:
BOOST_ROOT - Preferred installation prefix
(or BOOSTROOT)
BOOST_INCLUDEDIR - Preferred include directory e.g. <prefix>/include
BOOST_LIBRARYDIR - Preferred library directory e.g. <prefix>/lib
Boost_NO_SYSTEM_PATHS - Set to ON to disable searching in locations not
specified by these hint variables. Default is OFF.
Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS
- List of Boost versions not known to this module
(Boost install locations may contain the version)
and saves search results persistently in CMake cache entries:
Boost_INCLUDE_DIR - Directory containing Boost headers
Boost_LIBRARY_DIR - Directory containing Boost libraries
Boost_<C>_LIBRARY_DEBUG - Component <C> library debug variant
Boost_<C>_LIBRARY_RELEASE - Component <C> library release variant
Users may set these hints or results as cache entries. Projects
should not read these entries directly but instead use the above
result variables. Note that some hint names start in upper-case
"BOOST". One may specify these as environment variables if they
are not specified as CMake variables or cache entries.
This module first searches for the Boost header files using the
above hint variables (excluding BOOST_LIBRARYDIR) and saves the
result in Boost_INCLUDE_DIR. Then it searches for requested
component libraries using the above hints (excluding
BOOST_INCLUDEDIR and Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS), "lib" directo‐
ries near Boost_INCLUDE_DIR, and the library name configuration
settings below. It saves the library directory in
Boost_LIBRARY_DIR and individual library locations in
Boost_<C>_LIBRARY_DEBUG and Boost_<C>_LIBRARY_RELEASE. When one
changes settings used by previous searches in the same build
tree (excluding environment variables) this module discards pre‐
vious search results affected by the changes and searches again.
Boost libraries come in many variants encoded in their file
name. Users or projects may tell this module which variant to
find by setting variables:
Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED - Set to OFF to use the non-multithreaded
libraries ('mt' tag). Default is ON.
Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS - Set to ON to force the use of the static
libraries. Default is OFF.
Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME - Set to ON or OFF to specify whether to use
libraries linked statically to the C++ runtime
('s' tag). Default is platform dependent.
Boost_USE_DEBUG_PYTHON - Set to ON to use libraries compiled with a
debug Python build ('y' tag). Default is OFF.
Boost_USE_STLPORT - Set to ON to use libraries compiled with
STLPort ('p' tag). Default is OFF.
Boost_USE_STLPORT_DEPRECATED_NATIVE_IOSTREAMS
- Set to ON to use libraries compiled with
STLPort deprecated "native iostreams"
('n' tag). Default is OFF.
Boost_COMPILER - Set to the compiler-specific library suffix
(e.g. "-gcc43"). Default is auto-computed
for the C++ compiler in use.
Boost_THREADAPI - Suffix for "thread" component library name,
such as "pthread" or "win32". Names with
and without this suffix will both be tried.
Other variables one may set to control this module are:
Boost_DEBUG - Set to ON to enable debug output from FindBoost.
Please enable this before filing any bug report.
Boost_DETAILED_FAILURE_MSG
- Set to ON to add detailed information to the
failure message even when the REQUIRED option
is not given to the find_package call.
Boost_REALPATH - Set to ON to resolve symlinks for discovered
libraries to assist with packaging. For example,
the "system" component library may be resolved to
"/usr/lib/libboost_system.so.1.42.0" instead of
"/usr/lib/libboost_system.so". This does not
affect linking and should not be enabled unless
the user needs this information.
On Visual Studio and Borland compilers Boost headers request
automatic linking to corresponding libraries. This requires
matching libraries to be linked explicitly or available in the
link library search path. In this case setting
Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS to OFF may not achieve dynamic linking.
Boost automatic linking typically requests static libraries with
a few exceptions (such as Boost.Python). Use
add_definitions(${Boost_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC_DEFINITIONS})
to ask Boost to report information about automatic linking
requests.
Example to find Boost headers only:
find_package(Boost 1.36.0)
if(Boost_FOUND)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(foo foo.cc)
endif()
Example to find Boost headers and some libraries:
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME OFF)
find_package(Boost 1.36.0 COMPONENTS date_time filesystem system ...)
if(Boost_FOUND)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(foo foo.cc)
target_link_libraries(foo ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
endif()
Boost CMake
----------------------------------------------------------
If Boost was built using the boost-cmake project it provides a
package configuration file for use with find_package's Config
mode. This module looks for the package configuration file
called BoostConfig.cmake or boost-config.cmake and stores the
result in cache entry "Boost_DIR". If found, the package con‐
figuration file is loaded and this module returns with no fur‐
ther action. See documentation of the Boost CMake package con‐
figuration for details on what it provides.
Set Boost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE to ON to disable the search for
boost-cmake.
FindBullet
Try to find the Bullet physics engine
This module defines the following variables
BULLET_FOUND - Was bullet found
BULLET_INCLUDE_DIRS - the Bullet include directories
BULLET_LIBRARIES - Link to this, by default it includes
all bullet components (Dynamics,
Collision, LinearMath, & SoftBody)
This module accepts the following variables
BULLET_ROOT - Can be set to bullet install path or Windows build path
FindCABLE
Find CABLE
This module finds if CABLE is installed and determines where the
include files and libraries are. This code sets the following
variables:
CABLE the path to the cable executable
CABLE_TCL_LIBRARY the path to the Tcl wrapper library
CABLE_INCLUDE_DIR the path to the include directory
To build Tcl wrappers, you should add shared library and link it
to ${CABLE_TCL_LIBRARY}. You should also add
${CABLE_INCLUDE_DIR} as an include directory.
FindCUDA
Tools for building CUDA C files: libraries and build dependen‐
cies.
This script locates the NVIDIA CUDA C tools. It should work on
linux, windows, and mac and should be reasonably up to date with
CUDA C releases.
This script makes use of the standard find_package arguments of
<VERSION>, REQUIRED and QUIET. CUDA_FOUND will report if an
acceptable version of CUDA was found.
The script will prompt the user to specify CUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR
if the prefix cannot be determined by the location of nvcc in
the system path and REQUIRED is specified to find_package(). To
use a different installed version of the toolkit set the envi‐
ronment variable CUDA_BIN_PATH before running cmake (e.g.
CUDA_BIN_PATH=/usr/local/cuda1.0 instead of the default
/usr/local/cuda) or set CUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR after configuring.
If you change the value of CUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR, various compo‐
nents that depend on the path will be relocated.
It might be necessary to set CUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR manually on
certain platforms, or to use a cuda runtime not installed in the
default location. In newer versions of the toolkit the cuda
library is included with the graphics driver- be sure that the
driver version matches what is needed by the cuda runtime ver‐
sion.
The following variables affect the behavior of the macros in the
script (in alphebetical order). Note that any of these flags
can be changed multiple times in the same directory before call‐
ing CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE, CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY, CUDA_COMPILE,
CUDA_COMPILE_PTX or CUDA_WRAP_SRCS.
CUDA_64_BIT_DEVICE_CODE (Default matches host bit size)
-- Set to ON to compile for 64 bit device code, OFF for 32 bit device code.
Note that making this different from the host code when generating object
or C files from CUDA code just won't work, because size_t gets defined by
nvcc in the generated source. If you compile to PTX and then load the
file yourself, you can mix bit sizes between device and host.
CUDA_ATTACH_VS_BUILD_RULE_TO_CUDA_FILE (Default ON)
-- Set to ON if you want the custom build rule to be attached to the source
file in Visual Studio. Turn OFF if you add the same cuda file to multiple
targets.
This allows the user to build the target from the CUDA file; however, bad
things can happen if the CUDA source file is added to multiple targets.
When performing parallel builds it is possible for the custom build
command to be run more than once and in parallel causing cryptic build
errors. VS runs the rules for every source file in the target, and a
source can have only one rule no matter how many projects it is added to.
When the rule is run from multiple targets race conditions can occur on
the generated file. Eventually everything will get built, but if the user
is unaware of this behavior, there may be confusion. It would be nice if
this script could detect the reuse of source files across multiple targets
and turn the option off for the user, but no good solution could be found.
CUDA_BUILD_CUBIN (Default OFF)
-- Set to ON to enable and extra compilation pass with the -cubin option in
Device mode. The output is parsed and register, shared memory usage is
printed during build.
CUDA_BUILD_EMULATION (Default OFF for device mode)
-- Set to ON for Emulation mode. -D_DEVICEEMU is defined for CUDA C files
when CUDA_BUILD_EMULATION is TRUE.
CUDA_GENERATED_OUTPUT_DIR (Default CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR)
-- Set to the path you wish to have the generated files placed. If it is
blank output files will be placed in CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR.
Intermediate files will always be placed in
CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR/CMakeFiles.
CUDA_HOST_COMPILATION_CPP (Default ON)
-- Set to OFF for C compilation of host code.
CUDA_HOST_COMPILER (Default CMAKE_C_COMPILER, $(VCInstallDir)/bin for VS)
-- Set the host compiler to be used by nvcc. Ignored if -ccbin or
--compiler-bindir is already present in the CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS or
CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS_<CONFIG> variables. For Visual Studio targets
$(VCInstallDir)/bin is a special value that expands out to the path when
the command is run from withing VS.
CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS
CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS_<CONFIG>
-- Additional NVCC command line arguments. NOTE: multiple arguments must be
semi-colon delimited (e.g. --compiler-options;-Wall)
CUDA_PROPAGATE_HOST_FLAGS (Default ON)
-- Set to ON to propagate CMAKE_{C,CXX}_FLAGS and their configuration
dependent counterparts (e.g. CMAKE_C_FLAGS_DEBUG) automatically to the
host compiler through nvcc's -Xcompiler flag. This helps make the
generated host code match the rest of the system better. Sometimes
certain flags give nvcc problems, and this will help you turn the flag
propagation off. This does not affect the flags supplied directly to nvcc
via CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS or through the OPTION flags specified through
CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY, CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE, or CUDA_WRAP_SRCS. Flags used for
shared library compilation are not affected by this flag.
CUDA_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION (Default OFF)
-- If set this will enable separable compilation for all CUDA runtime object
files. If used outside of CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE and CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY
(e.g. calling CUDA_WRAP_SRCS directly),
CUDA_COMPUTE_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION_OBJECT_FILE_NAME and
CUDA_LINK_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION_OBJECTS should be called.
CUDA_VERBOSE_BUILD (Default OFF)
-- Set to ON to see all the commands used when building the CUDA file. When
using a Makefile generator the value defaults to VERBOSE (run make
VERBOSE=1 to see output), although setting CUDA_VERBOSE_BUILD to ON will
always print the output.
The script creates the following macros (in alphebetical order):
CUDA_ADD_CUFFT_TO_TARGET( cuda_target )
-- Adds the cufft library to the target (can be any target). Handles whether
you are in emulation mode or not.
CUDA_ADD_CUBLAS_TO_TARGET( cuda_target )
-- Adds the cublas library to the target (can be any target). Handles
whether you are in emulation mode or not.
CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE( cuda_target file0 file1 ...
[WIN32] [MACOSX_BUNDLE] [EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL] [OPTIONS ...] )
-- Creates an executable "cuda_target" which is made up of the files
specified. All of the non CUDA C files are compiled using the standard
build rules specified by CMAKE and the cuda files are compiled to object
files using nvcc and the host compiler. In addition CUDA_INCLUDE_DIRS is
added automatically to include_directories(). Some standard CMake target
calls can be used on the target after calling this macro
(e.g. set_target_properties and target_link_libraries), but setting
properties that adjust compilation flags will not affect code compiled by
nvcc. Such flags should be modified before calling CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE,
CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY or CUDA_WRAP_SRCS.
CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY( cuda_target file0 file1 ...
[STATIC | SHARED | MODULE] [EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL] [OPTIONS ...] )
-- Same as CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE except that a library is created.
CUDA_BUILD_CLEAN_TARGET()-- Creates a convience target that deletes all the dependency files
generated. You should make clean after running this target to ensure the
dependency files get regenerated.
CUDA_COMPILE( generated_files file0 file1 ... [STATIC | SHARED | MODULE]
[OPTIONS ...] )
-- Returns a list of generated files from the input source files to be used
with ADD_LIBRARY or ADD_EXECUTABLE.
CUDA_COMPILE_PTX( generated_files file0 file1 ... [OPTIONS ...] )
-- Returns a list of PTX files generated from the input source files.
CUDA_COMPUTE_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION_OBJECT_FILE_NAME( output_file_var
cuda_target
object_files )
-- Compute the name of the intermediate link file used for separable
compilation. This file name is typically passed into
CUDA_LINK_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION_OBJECTS. output_file_var is produced
based on cuda_target the list of objects files that need separable
compilation as specified by object_files. If the object_files list is
empty, then output_file_var will be empty. This function is called
automatically for CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY and CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE. Note that
this is a function and not a macro.
CUDA_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES( path0 path1 ... )
-- Sets the directories that should be passed to nvcc
(e.g. nvcc -Ipath0 -Ipath1 ... ). These paths usually contain other .cu
files.
CUDA_LINK_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION_OBJECTS( output_file_var cuda_target
nvcc_flags object_files)
-- Generates the link object required by separable compilation from the given
object files. This is called automatically for CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE and
CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY, but can be called manually when using CUDA_WRAP_SRCS
directly. When called from CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY or CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE the
nvcc_flags passed in are the same as the flags passed in via the OPTIONS
argument. The only nvcc flag added automatically is the bitness flag as
specified by CUDA_64_BIT_DEVICE_CODE. Note that this is a function
instead of a macro.
CUDA_WRAP_SRCS ( cuda_target format generated_files file0 file1 ...
[STATIC | SHARED | MODULE] [OPTIONS ...] )
-- This is where all the magic happens. CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE,
CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY, CUDA_COMPILE, and CUDA_COMPILE_PTX all call this
function under the hood.
Given the list of files (file0 file1 ... fileN) this macro generates
custom commands that generate either PTX or linkable objects (use "PTX" or
"OBJ" for the format argument to switch). Files that don't end with .cu
or have the HEADER_FILE_ONLY property are ignored.
The arguments passed in after OPTIONS are extra command line options to
give to nvcc. You can also specify per configuration options by
specifying the name of the configuration followed by the options. General
options must preceed configuration specific options. Not all
configurations need to be specified, only the ones provided will be used.
OPTIONS -DFLAG=2 "-DFLAG_OTHER=space in flag"
DEBUG -g
RELEASE --use_fast_math
RELWITHDEBINFO --use_fast_math;-g
MINSIZEREL --use_fast_math
For certain configurations (namely VS generating object files with
CUDA_ATTACH_VS_BUILD_RULE_TO_CUDA_FILE set to ON), no generated file will
be produced for the given cuda file. This is because when you add the
cuda file to Visual Studio it knows that this file produces an object file
and will link in the resulting object file automatically.
This script will also generate a separate cmake script that is used at
build time to invoke nvcc. This is for several reasons.
1. nvcc can return negative numbers as return values which confuses
Visual Studio into thinking that the command succeeded. The script now
checks the error codes and produces errors when there was a problem.
2. nvcc has been known to not delete incomplete results when it
encounters problems. This confuses build systems into thinking the
target was generated when in fact an unusable file exists. The script
now deletes the output files if there was an error.
3. By putting all the options that affect the build into a file and then
make the build rule dependent on the file, the output files will be
regenerated when the options change.
This script also looks at optional arguments STATIC, SHARED, or MODULE to
determine when to target the object compilation for a shared library.
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is ignored in CUDA_WRAP_SRCS, but it is respected in
CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY. On some systems special flags are added for building
objects intended for shared libraries. A preprocessor macro,
<target_name>_EXPORTS is defined when a shared library compilation is
detected.
Flags passed into add_definitions with -D or /D are passed along to nvcc.
The script defines the following variables:
CUDA_VERSION_MAJOR -- The major version of cuda as reported by nvcc.
CUDA_VERSION_MINOR -- The minor version.
CUDA_VERSION
CUDA_VERSION_STRING -- CUDA_VERSION_MAJOR.CUDA_VERSION_MINOR
CUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR -- Path to the CUDA Toolkit (defined if not set).
CUDA_SDK_ROOT_DIR -- Path to the CUDA SDK. Use this to find files in the
SDK. This script will not directly support finding
specific libraries or headers, as that isn't
supported by NVIDIA. If you want to change
libraries when the path changes see the
FindCUDA.cmake script for an example of how to clear
these variables. There are also examples of how to
use the CUDA_SDK_ROOT_DIR to locate headers or
libraries, if you so choose (at your own risk).
CUDA_INCLUDE_DIRS -- Include directory for cuda headers. Added automatically
for CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE and CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY.
CUDA_LIBRARIES -- Cuda RT library.
CUDA_CUFFT_LIBRARIES -- Device or emulation library for the Cuda FFT
implementation (alternative to:
CUDA_ADD_CUFFT_TO_TARGET macro)
CUDA_CUBLAS_LIBRARIES -- Device or emulation library for the Cuda BLAS
implementation (alterative to:
CUDA_ADD_CUBLAS_TO_TARGET macro).
CUDA_cupti_LIBRARY -- CUDA Profiling Tools Interface library.

Only used in the case both Python & Perl
are detected on the system to control
which CxxTest code generator is used.
Valid only for CxxTest version 3.
NOTE: In older versions of this Find Module,
this variable controlled if the Python test
generator was used instead of the Perl one,
regardless of which scripting language the
user had installed.

FindDart
Find DART
This module looks for the dart testing software and sets
DART_ROOT to point to where it found it.
FindDevIL
This module locates the developer's image library. http://ope‐
nil.sourceforge.net/
This module sets:
IL_LIBRARIES - the name of the IL library. These include the full path to
the core DevIL library. This one has to be linked into the
application.
ILU_LIBRARIES - the name of the ILU library. Again, the full path. This
library is for filters and effects, not actual loading. It
doesn't have to be linked if the functionality it provides
is not used.
ILUT_LIBRARIES - the name of the ILUT library. Full path. This part of the
library interfaces with OpenGL. It is not strictly needed
in applications.
IL_INCLUDE_DIR - where to find the il.h, ilu.h and ilut.h files.
IL_FOUND - this is set to TRUE if all the above variables were set.
This will be set to false if ILU or ILUT are not found,
even if they are not needed. In most systems, if one
library is found all the others are as well. That's the
way the DevIL developers release it.
FindDoxygen
This module looks for Doxygen and the path to Graphviz's dot
Doxygen is a documentation generation tool. Please see
http://www.doxygen.org
This module accepts the following optional variables:
DOXYGEN_SKIP_DOT = If true this module will skip trying to find Dot
(an optional component often used by Doxygen)
This modules defines the following variables:
DOXYGEN_EXECUTABLE = The path to the doxygen command.
DOXYGEN_FOUND = Was Doxygen found or not?
DOXYGEN_VERSION = The version reported by doxygen --version
DOXYGEN_DOT_EXECUTABLE = The path to the dot program used by doxygen.
DOXYGEN_DOT_FOUND = Was Dot found or not?
DOXYGEN_DOT_PATH = The path to dot not including the executable
FindEXPAT
Find expat
Find the native EXPAT headers and libraries.
EXPAT_INCLUDE_DIRS - where to find expat.h, etc.
EXPAT_LIBRARIES - List of libraries when using expat.
EXPAT_FOUND - True if expat found.
FindFLEX
Find flex executable and provides a macro to generate custom
build rules
The module defines the following variables:
FLEX_FOUND - true is flex executable is found
FLEX_EXECUTABLE - the path to the flex executable
FLEX_VERSION - the version of flex
FLEX_LIBRARIES - The flex libraries
FLEX_INCLUDE_DIRS - The path to the flex headers
The minimum required version of flex can be specified using the
standard syntax, e.g. find_package(FLEX 2.5.13)
If flex is found on the system, the module provides the macro:
FLEX_TARGET(Name FlexInput FlexOutput [COMPILE_FLAGS <string>])
which creates a custom command to generate the <FlexOutput>
file from the <FlexInput> file. If COMPILE_FLAGS option is
specified, the next parameter is added to the flex command
line. Name is an alias used to get details of this custom
command. Indeed the macro defines the following variables:
FLEX_${Name}_DEFINED - true is the macro ran successfully
FLEX_${Name}_OUTPUTS - the source file generated by the custom rule, an
alias for FlexOutput
FLEX_${Name}_INPUT - the flex source file, an alias for ${FlexInput}
Flex scanners oftenly use tokens defined by Bison: the code
generated by Flex depends of the header generated by Bison.
This module also defines a macro:
ADD_FLEX_BISON_DEPENDENCY(FlexTarget BisonTarget)
which adds the required dependency between a scanner and a
parser where <FlexTarget> and <BisonTarget> are the first
parameters of respectively FLEX_TARGET and BISON_TARGET macros.
====================================================================
Example:
find_package(BISON)find_package(FLEX)
BISON_TARGET(MyParser parser.y ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/parser.cpp)
FLEX_TARGET(MyScanner lexer.l ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/lexer.cpp)
ADD_FLEX_BISON_DEPENDENCY(MyScanner MyParser)

add_executable(Foo
Foo.cc
${BISON_MyParser_OUTPUTS}
${FLEX_MyScanner_OUTPUTS}
)
====================================================================

is found.
GTEST_BOTH_LIBRARIES - Both libgtest & libgtest-main
GTEST_LIBRARIES - libgtest
GTEST_MAIN_LIBRARIES - libgtest-main
Accepts the following variables as input:
GTEST_ROOT - (as a CMake or environment variable)
The root directory of the gtest install prefix
GTEST_MSVC_SEARCH - If compiling with MSVC, this variable can be set to
"MD" or "MT" to enable searching a GTest build tree
(defaults: "MD")
Example Usage:
enable_testing()
find_package(GTest REQUIRED)
include_directories(${GTEST_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(foo foo.cc)
target_link_libraries(foo ${GTEST_BOTH_LIBRARIES})
add_test(AllTestsInFoo foo)
If you would like each Google test to show up in CTest as a test
you may use the following macro. NOTE: It will slow down your
tests by running an executable for each test and test fixture.
You will also have to rerun CMake after adding or removing tests
or test fixtures.
GTEST_ADD_TESTS(executable extra_args ARGN)
executable = The path to the test executable
extra_args = Pass a list of extra arguments to be passed to
executable enclosed in quotes (or "" for none)
ARGN = A list of source files to search for tests & test
fixtures.
Example:
set(FooTestArgs --foo 1 --bar 2)
add_executable(FooTest FooUnitTest.cc)
GTEST_ADD_TESTS(FooTest "${FooTestArgs}" FooUnitTest.cc)
FindGettext

GETTEXT_FOUND: True if gettext has been found.
GETTEXT_VERSION_STRING: the version of gettext found (since CMake 2.8.8)
Additionally it provides the following macros: GETTEXT_CRE‐
ATE_TRANSLATIONS ( outputFile [ALL] file1 ... fileN )
This will create a target "translations" which will convert the
given input po files into the binary output mo file. If the
ALL option is used, the translations will also be created when
building the default target.
GETTEXT_PROCESS_POT( <potfile> [ALL] [INSTALL_DESTINATION <dest‐
dir>] LANGUAGES <lang1> <lang2> ... )
Process the given pot file to mo files.
If INSTALL_DESTINATION is given then automatically install rules will be created,
the language subdirectory will be taken into account (by default use share/locale/).
If ALL is specified, the pot file is processed when building the all traget.
It creates a custom target "potfile".
GETTEXT_PROCESS_PO_FILES( <lang> [ALL] [INSTALL_DESTINATION
<dir>] PO_FILES <po1> <po2> ... )
Process the given po files to mo files for the given language.
If INSTALL_DESTINATION is given then automatically install rules will be created,
the language subdirectory will be taken into account (by default use share/locale/).
If ALL is specified, the po files are processed when building the all traget.
It creates a custom target "pofiles".
FindGit

FindHDF5
Find HDF5, a library for reading and writing self describing
array data.
This module invokes the HDF5 wrapper compiler that should be
installed alongside HDF5. Depending upon the HDF5 Configura‐
tion, the wrapper compiler is called either h5cc or h5pcc. If
this succeeds, the module will then call the compiler with the
-show argument to see what flags are used when compiling an HDF5
client application.
The module will optionally accept the COMPONENTS argument. If
no COMPONENTS are specified, then the find module will default
to finding only the HDF5 C library. If one or more COMPONENTS
are specified, the module will attempt to find the language
bindings for the specified components. The only valid compo‐
nents are C, CXX, Fortran, HL, and Fortran_HL. If the COMPO‐
NENTS argument is not given, the module will attempt to find
only the C bindings.
On UNIX systems, this module will read the variable
HDF5_USE_STATIC_LIBRARIES to determine whether or not to prefer
a static link to a dynamic link for HDF5 and all of it's depen‐
dencies. To use this feature, make sure that the
HDF5_USE_STATIC_LIBRARIES variable is set before the call to
find_package.
To provide the module with a hint about where to find your HDF5
installation, you can set the environment variable HDF5_ROOT.
The Find module will then look in this path when searching for
HDF5 executables, paths, and libraries.
In addition to finding the includes and libraries required to
compile an HDF5 client application, this module also makes an
effort to find tools that come with the HDF5 distribution that
may be useful for regression testing.

to exclude some files in the list from being processed.
KDE3_ADD_MOC_FILES(SRCS_VAR file1 ... fileN )
If you don't use the KDE3_AUTOMOC() macro, for the files
listed here moc files will be created (named "foo.moc.cpp")
KDE3_ADD_DCOP_SKELS(SRCS_VAR header1.h ... headerN.h )

Use this to add KDE kconfig compiler files to your application/library.
KDE3_INSTALL_LIBTOOL_FILE(target)
This will create and install a simple libtool file for the given target.
KDE3_ADD_EXECUTABLE(name file1 ... fileN )
Currently identical to add_executable(), may provide some advanced features in the future.
KDE3_ADD_KPART(name [WITH_PREFIX] file1 ... fileN )
Create a KDE plugin (KPart, kioslave, etc.) from the given source files.
If WITH_PREFIX is given, the resulting plugin will have the prefix "lib", otherwise it won't.
It creates and installs an appropriate libtool la-file.
KDE3_ADD_KDEINIT_EXECUTABLE(name file1 ... fileN )
Create a KDE application in the form of a module loadable via kdeinit.
A library named kdeinit_<name> will be created and a small executable which links to it.

FindMPI
Find a Message Passing Interface (MPI) implementation
The Message Passing Interface (MPI) is a library used to write
high-performance distributed-memory parallel applications, and
is typically deployed on a cluster. MPI is a standard interface
(defined by the MPI forum) for which many implementations are
available. All of them have somewhat different include paths,
libraries to link against, etc., and this module tries to smooth
out those differences.
=== Variables ===
This module will set the following variables per language in
your project, where <lang> is one of C, CXX, or Fortran:
MPI_<lang>_FOUND TRUE if FindMPI found MPI flags for <lang>
MPI_<lang>_COMPILER MPI Compiler wrapper for <lang>
MPI_<lang>_COMPILE_FLAGS Compilation flags for MPI programs
MPI_<lang>_INCLUDE_PATH Include path(s) for MPI header
MPI_<lang>_LINK_FLAGS Linking flags for MPI programs
MPI_<lang>_LIBRARIES All libraries to link MPI programs against
Additionally, FindMPI sets the following variables for running
MPI programs from the command line:
MPIEXEC Executable for running MPI programs
MPIEXEC_NUMPROC_FLAG Flag to pass to MPIEXEC before giving
it the number of processors to run on
MPIEXEC_PREFLAGS Flags to pass to MPIEXEC directly
before the executable to run.
MPIEXEC_POSTFLAGS Flags to pass to MPIEXEC after other flags
=== Usage ===
To use this module, simply call FindMPI from a CMakeLists.txt
file, or run find_package(MPI), then run CMake. If you are
happy with the auto- detected configuration for your language,
then you're done. If not, you have two options:
1. Set MPI_<lang>_COMPILER to the MPI wrapper (mpicc, etc.) of your
choice and reconfigure. FindMPI will attempt to determine all the
necessary variables using THAT compiler's compile and link flags.
2. If this fails, or if your MPI implementation does not come with
a compiler wrapper, then set both MPI_<lang>_LIBRARIES and
MPI_<lang>_INCLUDE_PATH. You may also set any other variables
listed above, but these two are required. This will circumvent
autodetection entirely.
When configuration is successful, MPI_<lang>_COMPILER will be
set to the compiler wrapper for <lang>, if it was found.
MPI_<lang>_FOUND and other variables above will be set if any
MPI implementation was found for <lang>, regardless of whether a
compiler was found.
When using MPIEXEC to execute MPI applications, you should typi‐
cally use all of the MPIEXEC flags as follows:
${MPIEXEC} ${MPIEXEC_NUMPROC_FLAG} PROCS
${MPIEXEC_PREFLAGS} EXECUTABLE ${MPIEXEC_POSTFLAGS} ARGS
where PROCS is the number of processors on which to execute the
program, EXECUTABLE is the MPI program, and ARGS are the argu‐
ments to pass to the MPI program.
=== Backward Compatibility ===
For backward compatibility with older versions of FindMPI, these
variables are set, but deprecated:
MPI_FOUND MPI_COMPILER MPI_LIBRARY
MPI_COMPILE_FLAGS MPI_INCLUDE_PATH MPI_EXTRA_LIBRARY
MPI_LINK_FLAGS MPI_LIBRARIES
In new projects, please use the MPI_<lang>_XXX equivalents.

FindOpenMP
Finds OpenMP support
This module can be used to detect OpenMP support in a compiler.
If the compiler supports OpenMP, the flags required to compile
with OpenMP support are returned in variables for the different
languages. The variables may be empty if the compiler does not
need a special flag to support OpenMP.
The following variables are set:
OpenMP_C_FLAGS - flags to add to the C compiler for OpenMP support
OpenMP_CXX_FLAGS - flags to add to the CXX compiler for OpenMP support

FindOpenThreads
OpenThreads is a C++ based threading library. Its largest user‐
base seems to OpenSceneGraph so you might notice I accept OSGDIR
as an environment path. I consider this part of the Findosg*
suite used to find OpenSceneGraph components. Each component is
separate and you must opt in to each module.
Locate OpenThreads This module defines OPENTHREADS_LIBRARY
OPENTHREADS_FOUND, if false, do not try to link to OpenThreads
OPENTHREADS_INCLUDE_DIR, where to find the headers
$OPENTHREADS_DIR is an environment variable that would corre‐
spond to the ./configure --prefix=$OPENTHREADS_DIR used in
building osg.
[CMake 2.8.10]: The CMake variables OPENTHREADS_DIR or OSG_DIR
can now be used as well to influence detection, instead of need‐
ing to specify an environment variable.

FindPHP4
Find PHP4
This module finds if PHP4 is installed and determines where the
include files and libraries are. It also determines what the
name of the library is. This code sets the following variables:
PHP4_INCLUDE_PATH = path to where php.h can be found
PHP4_EXECUTABLE = full path to the php4 binary
FindPNG
Find the native PNG includes and library
This module searches libpng, the library for working with PNG
images.
It defines the following variables
PNG_INCLUDE_DIRS, where to find png.h, etc.
PNG_LIBRARIES, the libraries to link against to use PNG.
PNG_DEFINITIONS - You should add_definitons(${PNG_DEFINITIONS}) before compiling code that includes png library files.
PNG_FOUND, If false, do not try to use PNG.
PNG_VERSION_STRING - the version of the PNG library found (since CMake 2.8.8)
Also defined, but not for general use are
PNG_LIBRARY, where to find the PNG library.
For backward compatiblity the variable PNG_INCLUDE_DIR is also
set. It has the same value as PNG_INCLUDE_DIRS.
Since PNG depends on the ZLib compression library, none of the
above will be defined unless ZLib can be found.
FindPackageHandleStandardArgs
FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS(<name> ... )
This function is intended to be used in FindXXX.cmake modules
files. It handles the REQUIRED, QUIET and version-related argu‐
ments to find_package(). It also sets the <packagename>_FOUND
variable. The package is considered found if all variables
<var1>... listed contain valid results, e.g. valid filepaths.
There are two modes of this function. The first argument in both
modes is the name of the Find-module where it is called (in
original casing).
The first simple mode looks like this:
FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS(<name> (DEFAULT_MSG|"Custom failure message") <var1>...<varN> )
If the variables <var1> to <varN> are all valid, then <UPPER‐
CASED_NAME>_FOUND will be set to TRUE. If DEFAULT_MSG is given
as second argument, then the function will generate itself use‐
ful success and error messages. You can also supply a custom
error message for the failure case. This is not recommended.
The second mode is more powerful and also supports version
checking:
FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS(NAME [FOUND_VAR <resultVar>]
[REQUIRED_VARS <var1>...<varN>]
[VERSION_VAR <versionvar>]
[HANDLE_COMPONENTS]
[CONFIG_MODE]
[FAIL_MESSAGE "Custom failure message"] )
In this mode, the name of the result-variable can be set either
to either <UPPERCASED_NAME>_FOUND or <OriginalCase_Name>_FOUND
using the FOUND_VAR option. Other names for the result-variable
are not allowed. So for a Find-module named FindFooBar.cmake,
the two possible names are FooBar_FOUND and FOOBAR_FOUND. It is
recommended to use the original case version. If the FOUND_VAR
option is not used, the default is <UPPERCASED_NAME>_FOUND.
As in the simple mode, if <var1> through <varN> are all valid,
<packagename>_FOUND will be set to TRUE. After REQUIRED_VARS the
variables which are required for this package are listed. Fol‐
lowing VERSION_VAR the name of the variable can be specified
which holds the version of the package which has been found. If
this is done, this version will be checked against the (poten‐
tially) specified required version used in the find_package()
call. The EXACT keyword is also handled. The default messages
include information about the required version and the version
which has been actually found, both if the version is ok or not.
If the package supports components, use the HANDLE_COMPONENTS
option to enable handling them. In this case, find_package_han‐
dle_standard_args() will report which components have been found
and which are missing, and the <packagename>_FOUND variable will
be set to FALSE if any of the required components (i.e. not the
ones listed after OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS) are missing. Use the
option CONFIG_MODE if your FindXXX.cmake module is a wrapper for
a find_package(... NO_MODULE) call. In this case VERSION_VAR
will be set to <NAME>_VERSION and the macro will automatically
check whether the Config module was found. Via FAIL_MESSAGE a
custom failure message can be specified, if this is not used,
the default message will be displayed.
Example for mode 1:
find_package_handle_standard_args(LibXml2 DEFAULT_MSG LIBXML2_LIBRARY LIBXML2_INCLUDE_DIR)
LibXml2 is considered to be found, if both LIBXML2_LIBRARY and
LIBXML2_INCLUDE_DIR are valid. Then also LIBXML2_FOUND is set to
TRUE. If it is not found and REQUIRED was used, it fails with
FATAL_ERROR, independent whether QUIET was used or not. If it is
found, success will be reported, including the content of
<var1>. On repeated Cmake runs, the same message won't be
printed again.
Example for mode 2:
find_package_handle_standard_args(LibXslt FOUND_VAR LibXslt_FOUND
REQUIRED_VARS LibXslt_LIBRARIES LibXslt_INCLUDE_DIRS
VERSION_VAR LibXslt_VERSION_STRING)
In this case, LibXslt is considered to be found if the vari‐
able(s) listed after REQUIRED_VAR are all valid, i.e.
LibXslt_LIBRARIES and LibXslt_INCLUDE_DIRS in this case. The
result will then be stored in LibXslt_FOUND . Also the version
of LibXslt will be checked by using the version contained in
LibXslt_VERSION_STRING. Since no FAIL_MESSAGE is given, the
default messages will be printed.
Another example for mode 2:
find_package(Automoc4 QUIET NO_MODULE HINTS /opt/automoc4)
find_package_handle_standard_args(Automoc4 CONFIG_MODE)
In this case, FindAutmoc4.cmake wraps a call to find_pack‐
age(Automoc4 NO_MODULE) and adds an additional search directory
for automoc4. Here the result will be stored in AUTOMOC4_FOUND.
The following FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS() call produces
a proper success/error message.
FindPackageMessage
FIND_PACKAGE_MESSAGE(<name> "message for user" "find result
details")
This macro is intended to be used in FindXXX.cmake modules
files. It will print a message once for each unique find result.
This is useful for telling the user where a package was found.
The first argument specifies the name (XXX) of the package. The
second argument specifies the message to display. The third
argument lists details about the find result so that if they
change the message will be displayed again. The macro also obeys
the QUIET argument to the find_package command.
Example:
if(X11_FOUND)
FIND_PACKAGE_MESSAGE(X11 "Found X11: ${X11_X11_LIB}"
"[${X11_X11_LIB}][${X11_INCLUDE_DIR}]")
else()
...
endif()
FindPerl
Find perl
this module looks for Perl
PERL_EXECUTABLE - the full path to perl
PERL_FOUND - If false, don't attempt to use perl.
PERL_VERSION_STRING - version of perl found (since CMake 2.8.8)
FindPerlLibs
Find Perl libraries
This module finds if PERL is installed and determines where the
include files and libraries are. It also determines what the
name of the library is. This code sets the following variables:
PERLLIBS_FOUND = True if perl.h & libperl were found
PERL_INCLUDE_PATH = path to where perl.h is found
PERL_LIBRARY = path to libperl
PERL_EXECUTABLE = full path to the perl binary
The minimum required version of Perl can be specified using the
standard syntax, e.g. find_package(PerlLibs 6.0)
The following variables are also available if needed
(introduced after CMake 2.6.4)
PERL_SITESEARCH = path to the sitesearch install dir
PERL_SITELIB = path to the sitelib install directory
PERL_VENDORARCH = path to the vendor arch install directory
PERL_VENDORLIB = path to the vendor lib install directory
PERL_ARCHLIB = path to the arch lib install directory
PERL_PRIVLIB = path to the priv lib install directory
PERL_EXTRA_C_FLAGS = Compilation flags used to build perl
FindPhysFS
Locate PhysFS library This module defines PHYSFS_LIBRARY, the
name of the library to link against PHYSFS_FOUND, if false, do
not try to link to PHYSFS PHYSFS_INCLUDE_DIR, where to find
physfs.h
$PHYSFSDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to
the ./configure --prefix=$PHYSFSDIR used in building PHYSFS.
Created by Eric Wing.
FindPike
Find Pike
This module finds if PIKE is installed and determines where the
include files and libraries are. It also determines what the
name of the library is. This code sets the following variables:
PIKE_INCLUDE_PATH = path to where program.h is found
PIKE_EXECUTABLE = full path to the pike binary
FindPkgConfig
a pkg-config module for CMake
Usage:
pkg_check_modules(<PREFIX> [REQUIRED] [QUIET] <MODULE> [<MODULE>]*)
checks for all the given modules
pkg_search_module(<PREFIX> [REQUIRED] [QUIET] <MODULE> [<MODULE>]*)
checks for given modules and uses the first working one
When the 'REQUIRED' argument was set, macros will fail with an
error when module(s) could not be found
When the 'QUIET' argument is set, no status messages will be
printed.
It sets the following variables:
PKG_CONFIG_FOUND ... if pkg-config executable was found
PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE ... pathname of the pkg-config program
PKG_CONFIG_VERSION_STRING ... the version of the pkg-config program found
(since CMake 2.8.8)
For the following variables two sets of values exist; first one
is the common one and has the given PREFIX. The second set con‐
tains flags which are given out when pkgconfig was called with
the '--static' option.
<XPREFIX>_FOUND ... set to 1 if module(s) exist
<XPREFIX>_LIBRARIES ... only the libraries (w/o the '-l')
<XPREFIX>_LIBRARY_DIRS ... the paths of the libraries (w/o the '-L')
<XPREFIX>_LDFLAGS ... all required linker flags
<XPREFIX>_LDFLAGS_OTHER ... all other linker flags
<XPREFIX>_INCLUDE_DIRS ... the '-I' preprocessor flags (w/o the '-I')
<XPREFIX>_CFLAGS ... all required cflags
<XPREFIX>_CFLAGS_OTHER ... the other compiler flags
<XPREFIX> = <PREFIX> for common case
<XPREFIX> = <PREFIX>_STATIC for static linking
There are some special variables whose prefix depends on the
count of given modules. When there is only one module, <PREFIX>
stays unchanged. When there are multiple modules, the prefix
will be changed to <PREFIX>_<MODNAME>:
<XPREFIX>_VERSION ... version of the module
<XPREFIX>_PREFIX ... prefix-directory of the module
<XPREFIX>_INCLUDEDIR ... include-dir of the module
<XPREFIX>_LIBDIR ... lib-dir of the module
<XPREFIX> = <PREFIX> when |MODULES| == 1, else
<XPREFIX> = <PREFIX>_<MODNAME>
A <MODULE> parameter can have the following formats:
{MODNAME} ... matches any version
{MODNAME}>={VERSION} ... at least version <VERSION> is required
{MODNAME}={VERSION} ... exactly version <VERSION> is required
{MODNAME}<={VERSION} ... modules must not be newer than <VERSION>
Examples
pkg_check_modules (GLIB2 glib-2.0)
pkg_check_modules (GLIB2 glib-2.0>=2.10)
requires at least version 2.10 of glib2 and defines e.g.
GLIB2_VERSION=2.10.3
pkg_check_modules (FOO glib-2.0>=2.10 gtk+-2.0)
requires both glib2 and gtk2, and defines e.g.
FOO_glib-2.0_VERSION=2.10.3
FOO_gtk+-2.0_VERSION=2.8.20
pkg_check_modules (XRENDER REQUIRED xrender)
defines e.g.:
XRENDER_LIBRARIES=Xrender;X11
XRENDER_STATIC_LIBRARIES=Xrender;X11;pthread;Xau;Xdmcp
pkg_search_module (BAR libxml-2.0 libxml2 libxml>=2)
FindPostgreSQL
Find the PostgreSQL installation.
In Windows, we make the assumption that, if the PostgreSQL files
are installed, the default directory will be C:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL.
This module defines
PostgreSQL_LIBRARIES - the PostgreSQL libraries needed for linking
PostgreSQL_INCLUDE_DIRS - the directories of the PostgreSQL headers
PostgreSQL_VERSION_STRING - the version of PostgreSQL found (since CMake 2.8.8)
FindProducer
Though Producer isn't directly part of OpenSceneGraph, its pri‐
mary user is OSG so I consider this part of the Findosg* suite
used to find OpenSceneGraph components. You'll notice that I
accept OSGDIR as an environment path.
Each component is separate and you must opt in to each module.
You must also opt into OpenGL (and OpenThreads?) as these mod‐
ules won't do it for you. This is to allow you control over your
own system piece by piece in case you need to opt out of certain
components or change the Find behavior for a particular module
(perhaps because the default FindOpenGL.cmake module doesn't
work with your system as an example). If you want to use a more
convenient module that includes everything, use the FindOpen‐
SceneGraph.cmake instead of the Findosg*.cmake modules.
Locate Producer This module defines PRODUCER_LIBRARY PRO‐
DUCER_FOUND, if false, do not try to link to Producer PRO‐
DUCER_INCLUDE_DIR, where to find the headers
$PRODUCER_DIR is an environment variable that would correspond
to the ./configure --prefix=$PRODUCER_DIR used in building osg.

FindProtobuf
Locate and configure the Google Protocol Buffers library.
The following variables can be set and are optional:
PROTOBUF_SRC_ROOT_FOLDER - When compiling with MSVC, if this cache variable is set
the protobuf-default VS project build locations
(vsprojects/Debug & vsprojects/Release) will be searched
for libraries and binaries.
PROTOBUF_IMPORT_DIRS - List of additional directories to be searched for
imported .proto files. (New in CMake 2.8.8)
Defines the following variables:
PROTOBUF_FOUND - Found the Google Protocol Buffers library (libprotobuf & header files)
PROTOBUF_INCLUDE_DIRS - Include directories for Google Protocol Buffers
PROTOBUF_LIBRARIES - The protobuf libraries
[New in CMake 2.8.5]
PROTOBUF_PROTOC_LIBRARIES - The protoc libraries
PROTOBUF_LITE_LIBRARIES - The protobuf-lite libraries
The following cache variables are also available to set or use:
PROTOBUF_LIBRARY - The protobuf library
PROTOBUF_PROTOC_LIBRARY - The protoc library
PROTOBUF_INCLUDE_DIR - The include directory for protocol buffers
PROTOBUF_PROTOC_EXECUTABLE - The protoc compiler
[New in CMake 2.8.5]
PROTOBUF_LIBRARY_DEBUG - The protobuf library (debug)
PROTOBUF_PROTOC_LIBRARY_DEBUG - The protoc library (debug)
PROTOBUF_LITE_LIBRARY - The protobuf lite library
PROTOBUF_LITE_LIBRARY_DEBUG - The protobuf lite library (debug)
====================================================================
Example:
find_package(Protobuf REQUIRED)
include_directories(${PROTOBUF_INCLUDE_DIRS})
include_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR})
PROTOBUF_GENERATE_CPP(PROTO_SRCS PROTO_HDRS foo.proto)
add_executable(bar bar.cc ${PROTO_SRCS} ${PROTO_HDRS})
target_link_libraries(bar ${PROTOBUF_LIBRARIES})
NOTE: You may need to link against pthreads, depending
on the platform.
NOTE: The PROTOBUF_GENERATE_CPP macro & add_executable() or
add_library()
calls only work properly within the same directory.

HDRS = Variable to define with autogenerated
header files
ARGN = proto files

FindPythonInterp
Find python interpreter
This module finds if Python interpreter is installed and deter‐
mines where the executables are. This code sets the following
variables:
PYTHONINTERP_FOUND - Was the Python executable found
PYTHON_EXECUTABLE - path to the Python interpreter
PYTHON_VERSION_STRING - Python version found e.g. 2.5.2
PYTHON_VERSION_MAJOR - Python major version found e.g. 2
PYTHON_VERSION_MINOR - Python minor version found e.g. 5
PYTHON_VERSION_PATCH - Python patch version found e.g. 2
The Python_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS variable can be used to specify a
list of version numbers that should be taken into account when
searching for Python. You need to set this variable before call‐
ing find_package(PythonInterp).
FindPythonLibs
Find python libraries
This module finds if Python is installed and determines where
the include files and libraries are. It also determines what the
name of the library is. This code sets the following variables:
PYTHONLIBS_FOUND - have the Python libs been found
PYTHON_LIBRARIES - path to the python library
PYTHON_INCLUDE_PATH - path to where Python.h is found (deprecated)
PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS - path to where Python.h is found
PYTHON_DEBUG_LIBRARIES - path to the debug library (deprecated)
PYTHONLIBS_VERSION_STRING - version of the Python libs found (since CMake 2.8.8)
The Python_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS variable can be used to specify a
list of version numbers that should be taken into account when
searching for Python. You need to set this variable before call‐
ing find_package(PythonLibs).
If you'd like to specify the installation of Python to use, you
should modify the following cache variables:
PYTHON_LIBRARY - path to the python library
PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR - path to where Python.h is found
FindQt Searches for all installed versions of Qt.
This should only be used if your project can work with multiple
versions of Qt. If not, you should just directly use FindQt4 or
FindQt3. If multiple versions of Qt are found on the machine,
then The user must set the option DESIRED_QT_VERSION to the ver‐
sion they want to use. If only one version of qt is found on
the machine, then the DESIRED_QT_VERSION is set to that version
and the matching FindQt3 or FindQt4 module is included. Once the
user sets DESIRED_QT_VERSION, then the FindQt3 or FindQt4 module
is included.
QT_REQUIRED if this is set to TRUE then if CMake can
not find Qt4 or Qt3 an error is raised
and a message is sent to the user.
DESIRED_QT_VERSION OPTION is created
QT4_INSTALLED is set to TRUE if qt4 is found.
QT3_INSTALLED is set to TRUE if qt3 is found.
FindQt3
Locate Qt include paths and libraries
This module defines:
QT_INCLUDE_DIR - where to find qt.h, etc.
QT_LIBRARIES - the libraries to link against to use Qt.
QT_DEFINITIONS - definitions to use when
compiling code that uses Qt.
QT_FOUND - If false, don't try to use Qt.
QT_VERSION_STRING - the version of Qt found
If you need the multithreaded version of Qt, set QT_MT_REQUIRED
to TRUE
Also defined, but not for general use are:
QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE, where to find the moc tool.
QT_UIC_EXECUTABLE, where to find the uic tool.
QT_QT_LIBRARY, where to find the Qt library.
QT_QTMAIN_LIBRARY, where to find the qtmain
library. This is only required by Qt3 on Windows.
FindQt4
Find Qt 4
This module can be used to find Qt4. The most important issue is
that the Qt4 qmake is available via the system path. This qmake
is then used to detect basically everything else. This module
defines a number of key variables and macros. The variable
QT_USE_FILE is set which is the path to a CMake file that can be
included to compile Qt 4 applications and libraries. It sets up
the compilation environment for include directories, preproces‐
sor defines and populates a QT_LIBRARIES variable.
Typical usage could be something like:
find_package(Qt4 4.4.3 REQUIRED QtCore QtGui QtXml)
include(${QT_USE_FILE})
add_executable(myexe main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(myexe ${QT_LIBRARIES})
The minimum required version can be specified using the standard
find_package()-syntax (see example above). For compatibility
with older versions of FindQt4.cmake it is also possible to set
the variable QT_MIN_VERSION to the minimum required version of
Qt4 before the find_package(Qt4) command. If both are used, the
version used in the find_package() command overrides the one
from QT_MIN_VERSION.
When using the components argument, QT_USE_QT* variables are
automatically set for the QT_USE_FILE to pick up. If one wishes
to manually set them, the available ones to set include:
QT_DONT_USE_QTCORE
QT_DONT_USE_QTGUI
QT_USE_QT3SUPPORT
QT_USE_QTASSISTANT
QT_USE_QAXCONTAINER
QT_USE_QAXSERVER
QT_USE_QTDESIGNER
QT_USE_QTMOTIF
QT_USE_QTMAIN
QT_USE_QTMULTIMEDIA
QT_USE_QTNETWORK
QT_USE_QTNSPLUGIN
QT_USE_QTOPENGL
QT_USE_QTSQL
QT_USE_QTXML
QT_USE_QTSVG
QT_USE_QTTEST
QT_USE_QTUITOOLS
QT_USE_QTDBUS
QT_USE_QTSCRIPT
QT_USE_QTASSISTANTCLIENT
QT_USE_QTHELP
QT_USE_QTWEBKIT
QT_USE_QTXMLPATTERNS
QT_USE_PHONON
QT_USE_QTSCRIPTTOOLS
QT_USE_QTDECLARATIVE
QT_USE_IMPORTED_TARGETS
If this variable is set to TRUE, FindQt4.cmake will create imported
library targets for the various Qt libraries and set the
library variables like QT_QTCORE_LIBRARY to point at these imported
targets instead of the library file on disk. This provides much better
handling of the release and debug versions of the Qt libraries and is
also always backwards compatible, except for the case that dependencies
of libraries are exported, these will then also list the names of the
imported targets as dependency and not the file location on disk. This
is much more flexible, but requires that FindQt4.cmake is executed before
such an exported dependency file is processed.
Note that if using IMPORTED targets, the qtmain.lib static library is
automatically linked on Windows. To disable that globally, set the
QT4_NO_LINK_QTMAIN variable before finding Qt4. To disable that for a
particular executable, set the QT4_NO_LINK_QTMAIN target property to
True on the executable.
QT_INCLUDE_DIRS_NO_SYSTEM
If this variable is set to TRUE, the Qt include directories
in the QT_USE_FILE will NOT have the SYSTEM keyword set.
There are also some files that need processing by some Qt tools
such as moc and uic. Listed below are macros that may be used
to process those files.
macro QT4_WRAP_CPP(outfiles inputfile ... OPTIONS ...)
create moc code from a list of files containing Qt class with
the Q_OBJECT declaration. Per-directory preprocessor definitions
are also added. Options may be given to moc, such as those found
when executing "moc -help".
macro QT4_WRAP_UI(outfiles inputfile ... OPTIONS ...)
create code from a list of Qt designer ui files.
Options may be given to uic, such as those found
when executing "uic -help"
macro QT4_ADD_RESOURCES(outfiles inputfile ... OPTIONS ...)
create code from a list of Qt resource files.
Options may be given to rcc, such as those found
when executing "rcc -help"
macro QT4_GENERATE_MOC(inputfile outputfile )
creates a rule to run moc on infile and create outfile.
Use this if for some reason QT4_WRAP_CPP() isn't appropriate, e.g.
because you need a custom filename for the moc file or something similar.
macro QT4_AUTOMOC(sourcefile1 sourcefile2 ... )
The qt4_automoc macro is obsolete. Use the CMAKE_AUTOMOC feature instead.
This macro is still experimental.
It can be used to have moc automatically handled.
So if you have the files foo.h and foo.cpp, and in foo.h a
a class uses the Q_OBJECT macro, moc has to run on it. If you don't
want to use QT4_WRAP_CPP() (which is reliable and mature), you can insert
#include "foo.moc"
in foo.cpp and then give foo.cpp as argument to QT4_AUTOMOC(). This will the
scan all listed files at cmake-time for such included moc files and if it finds
them cause a rule to be generated to run moc at build time on the
accompanying header file foo.h.
If a source file has the SKIP_AUTOMOC property set it will be ignored by this macro.
You should have a look on the AUTOMOC property for targets to achieve the same results.
macro QT4_ADD_DBUS_INTERFACE(outfiles interface basename)
Create the interface header and implementation files with the
given basename from the given interface xml file and add it to
the list of sources.
You can pass additional parameters to the qdbusxml2cpp call by setting
properties on the input file:
INCLUDE the given file will be included in the generate interface header
CLASSNAME the generated class is named accordingly
NO_NAMESPACE the generated class is not wrapped in a namespace
macro QT4_ADD_DBUS_INTERFACES(outfiles inputfile ... )
Create the interface header and implementation files
for all listed interface xml files.
The basename will be automatically determined from the name of the xml file.
The source file properties described for QT4_ADD_DBUS_INTERFACE also apply here.
macro QT4_ADD_DBUS_ADAPTOR(outfiles xmlfile parentheader parentclassname [basename] [classname])
create a dbus adaptor (header and implementation file) from the xml file
describing the interface, and add it to the list of sources. The adaptor
forwards the calls to a parent class, defined in parentheader and named
parentclassname. The name of the generated files will be
<basename>adaptor.{cpp,h} where basename defaults to the basename of the xml file.
If <classname> is provided, then it will be used as the classname of the
adaptor itself.
macro QT4_GENERATE_DBUS_INTERFACE( header [interfacename] OPTIONS ...)
generate the xml interface file from the given header.
If the optional argument interfacename is omitted, the name of the
interface file is constructed from the basename of the header with
the suffix .xml appended.
Options may be given to qdbuscpp2xml, such as those found when executing "qdbuscpp2xml --help"
macro QT4_CREATE_TRANSLATION( qm_files directories ... sources ...
ts_files ... OPTIONS ...)
out: qm_files
in: directories sources ts_files
options: flags to pass to lupdate, such as -extensions to specify
extensions for a directory scan.
generates commands to create .ts (vie lupdate) and .qm
(via lrelease) - files from directories and/or sources. The ts files are
created and/or updated in the source tree (unless given with full paths).
The qm files are generated in the build tree.
Updating the translations can be done by adding the qm_files
to the source list of your library/executable, so they are
always updated, or by adding a custom target to control when
they get updated/generated.
macro QT4_ADD_TRANSLATION( qm_files ts_files ... )
out: qm_files
in: ts_files
generates commands to create .qm from .ts - files. The generated
filenames can be found in qm_files. The ts_files
must exist and are not updated in any way.
function QT4_USE_MODULES( target [link_type] modules...)
This function is obsolete. Use target_link_libraries with IMPORTED targets instead.
Make <target> use the <modules> from Qt. Using a Qt module means
to link to the library, add the relevant include directories for the module,
and add the relevant compiler defines for using the module.
Modules are roughly equivalent to components of Qt4, so usage would be
something like:
qt4_use_modules(myexe Core Gui Declarative)
to use QtCore, QtGui and QtDeclarative. The optional <link_type> argument can
be specified as either LINK_PUBLIC or LINK_PRIVATE to specify the same argument
to the target_link_libraries call.
Below is a detailed list of variables that FindQt4.cmake sets.
QT_FOUND If false, don't try to use Qt.
Qt4_FOUND If false, don't try to use Qt 4.
QT4_FOUND If false, don't try to use Qt 4. This variable is for compatibility only.
QT_VERSION_MAJOR The major version of Qt found.
QT_VERSION_MINOR The minor version of Qt found.
QT_VERSION_PATCH The patch version of Qt found.
QT_EDITION Set to the edition of Qt (i.e. DesktopLight)
QT_EDITION_DESKTOPLIGHT True if QT_EDITION == DesktopLight
QT_QTCORE_FOUND True if QtCore was found.
QT_QTGUI_FOUND True if QtGui was found.
QT_QT3SUPPORT_FOUND True if Qt3Support was found.
QT_QTASSISTANT_FOUND True if QtAssistant was found.
QT_QTASSISTANTCLIENT_FOUND True if QtAssistantClient was found.
QT_QAXCONTAINER_FOUND True if QAxContainer was found (Windows only).
QT_QAXSERVER_FOUND True if QAxServer was found (Windows only).
QT_QTDBUS_FOUND True if QtDBus was found.
QT_QTDESIGNER_FOUND True if QtDesigner was found.

QT_QTHELP_FOUND True if QtHelp was found.
QT_QTMOTIF_FOUND True if QtMotif was found.
QT_QTMULTIMEDIA_FOUND True if QtMultimedia was found (since Qt 4.6.0).
QT_QTNETWORK_FOUND True if QtNetwork was found.

FindQuickTime
Locate QuickTime This module defines QUICKTIME_LIBRARY QUICK‐
TIME_FOUND, if false, do not try to link to gdal QUICK‐
TIME_INCLUDE_DIR, where to find the headers
$QUICKTIME_DIR is an environment variable that would correspond
to the ./configure --prefix=$QUICKTIME_DIR
Created by Eric Wing.
FindRTI
Try to find M&S HLA RTI libraries
This module finds if any HLA RTI is installed and locates the
standard RTI include files and libraries.
RTI is a simulation infrastructure standardized by IEEE and
SISO. It has a well defined C++ API that assures that simulation
applications are independent on a particular RTI implementation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-Time_Infrastructure_(simulation)
This code sets the following variables:
RTI_INCLUDE_DIR = the directory where RTI includes file are found
RTI_LIBRARIES = The libraries to link against to use RTI
RTI_DEFINITIONS = -DRTI_USES_STD_FSTREAM
RTI_FOUND = Set to FALSE if any HLA RTI was not found
Report problems to <certi-devel@nongnu.org>
FindRuby
Find Ruby
This module finds if Ruby is installed and determines where the
include files and libraries are. Ruby 1.8 and 1.9 are supported.
The minimum required version of Ruby can be specified using the
standard syntax, e.g. find_package(Ruby 1.8)
It also determines what the name of the library is. This code
sets the following variables:
RUBY_EXECUTABLE = full path to the ruby binary
RUBY_INCLUDE_DIRS = include dirs to be used when using the ruby library
RUBY_LIBRARY = full path to the ruby library
RUBY_VERSION = the version of ruby which was found, e.g. "1.8.7"
RUBY_FOUND = set to true if ruby ws found successfully
RUBY_INCLUDE_PATH = same as RUBY_INCLUDE_DIRS, only provided for compatibility reasons, don't use it
FindSDL
Locate SDL library
This module defines
SDL_LIBRARY, the name of the library to link against
SDL_FOUND, if false, do not try to link to SDL
SDL_INCLUDE_DIR, where to find SDL.h
SDL_VERSION_STRING, human-readable string containing the version of SDL
This module responds to the the flag:
SDL_BUILDING_LIBRARY
If this is defined, then no SDL_main will be linked in because
only applications need main().
Otherwise, it is assumed you are building an application and this
module will attempt to locate and set the the proper link flags
as part of the returned SDL_LIBRARY variable.
Don't forget to include SDLmain.h and SDLmain.m your project for
the OS X framework based version. (Other versions link to -lSDL‐
main which this module will try to find on your behalf.) Also
for OS X, this module will automatically add the -framework
Cocoa on your behalf.
Additional Note: If you see an empty SDL_LIBRARY_TEMP in your
configuration and no SDL_LIBRARY, it means CMake did not find
your SDL library (SDL.dll, libsdl.so, SDL.framework, etc). Set
SDL_LIBRARY_TEMP to point to your SDL library, and configure
again. Similarly, if you see an empty SDLMAIN_LIBRARY, you
should set this value as appropriate. These values are used to
generate the final SDL_LIBRARY variable, but when these values
are unset, SDL_LIBRARY does not get created.
$SDLDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the
./configure --prefix=$SDLDIR used in building SDL. l.e.galup
9-20-02
Modified by Eric Wing. Added code to assist with automated
building by using environmental variables and providing a more
controlled/consistent search behavior. Added new modifications
to recognize OS X frameworks and additional Unix paths (FreeBSD,
etc). Also corrected the header search path to follow "proper"
SDL guidelines. Added a search for SDLmain which is needed by
some platforms. Added a search for threads which is needed by
some platforms. Added needed compile switches for MinGW.
On OSX, this will prefer the Framework version (if found) over
others. People will have to manually change the cache values of
SDL_LIBRARY to override this selection or set the CMake environ‐
ment CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH to modify the search paths.
Note that the header path has changed from SDL/SDL.h to just
SDL.h This needed to change because "proper" SDL convention is
#include "SDL.h", not <SDL/SDL.h>. This is done for portability
reasons because not all systems place things in SDL/ (see Free‐
BSD).
FindSDL_image
Locate SDL_image library
This module defines:
SDL_IMAGE_LIBRARIES, the name of the library to link against
SDL_IMAGE_INCLUDE_DIRS, where to find the headers
SDL_IMAGE_FOUND, if false, do not try to link against
SDL_IMAGE_VERSION_STRING - human-readable string containing the version of SDL_image
For backward compatiblity the following variables are also set:
SDLIMAGE_LIBRARY (same value as SDL_IMAGE_LIBRARIES)
SDLIMAGE_INCLUDE_DIR (same value as SDL_IMAGE_INCLUDE_DIRS)
SDLIMAGE_FOUND (same value as SDL_IMAGE_FOUND)
$SDLDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the
./configure --prefix=$SDLDIR used in building SDL.
Created by Eric Wing. This was influenced by the FindSDL.cmake
module, but with modifications to recognize OS X frameworks and
additional Unix paths (FreeBSD, etc).
FindSDL_mixer
Locate SDL_mixer library
This module defines:
SDL_MIXER_LIBRARIES, the name of the library to link against
SDL_MIXER_INCLUDE_DIRS, where to find the headers
SDL_MIXER_FOUND, if false, do not try to link against
SDL_MIXER_VERSION_STRING - human-readable string containing the version of SDL_mixer
For backward compatiblity the following variables are also set:
SDLMIXER_LIBRARY (same value as SDL_MIXER_LIBRARIES)
SDLMIXER_INCLUDE_DIR (same value as SDL_MIXER_INCLUDE_DIRS)
SDLMIXER_FOUND (same value as SDL_MIXER_FOUND)
$SDLDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the
./configure --prefix=$SDLDIR used in building SDL.
Created by Eric Wing. This was influenced by the FindSDL.cmake
module, but with modifications to recognize OS X frameworks and
additional Unix paths (FreeBSD, etc).
FindSDL_net
Locate SDL_net library
This module defines:
SDL_NET_LIBRARIES, the name of the library to link against
SDL_NET_INCLUDE_DIRS, where to find the headers
SDL_NET_FOUND, if false, do not try to link against
SDL_NET_VERSION_STRING - human-readable string containing the version of SDL_net
For backward compatiblity the following variables are also set:
SDLNET_LIBRARY (same value as SDL_NET_LIBRARIES)
SDLNET_INCLUDE_DIR (same value as SDL_NET_INCLUDE_DIRS)
SDLNET_FOUND (same value as SDL_NET_FOUND)
$SDLDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the
./configure --prefix=$SDLDIR used in building SDL.
Created by Eric Wing. This was influenced by the FindSDL.cmake
module, but with modifications to recognize OS X frameworks and
additional Unix paths (FreeBSD, etc).
FindSDL_sound
Locates the SDL_sound library
This module depends on SDL being found and must be called AFTER
FindSDL.cmake is called.
This module defines
SDL_SOUND_INCLUDE_DIR, where to find SDL_sound.h
SDL_SOUND_FOUND, if false, do not try to link to SDL_sound
SDL_SOUND_LIBRARIES, this contains the list of libraries that you need
to link against. This is a read-only variable and is marked INTERNAL.
SDL_SOUND_EXTRAS, this is an optional variable for you to add your own
flags to SDL_SOUND_LIBRARIES. This is prepended to SDL_SOUND_LIBRARIES.
This is available mostly for cases this module failed to anticipate for
and you must add additional flags. This is marked as ADVANCED.
SDL_SOUND_VERSION_STRING, human-readable string containing the version of SDL_sound
This module also defines (but you shouldn't need to use
directly)
SDL_SOUND_LIBRARY, the name of just the SDL_sound library you would link
against. Use SDL_SOUND_LIBRARIES for you link instructions and not this one.
And might define the following as needed
MIKMOD_LIBRARY
MODPLUG_LIBRARY
OGG_LIBRARY
VORBIS_LIBRARY
SMPEG_LIBRARY
FLAC_LIBRARY
SPEEX_LIBRARY
Typically, you should not use these variables directly, and you
should use SDL_SOUND_LIBRARIES which contains SDL_SOUND_LIBRARY
and the other audio libraries (if needed) to successfully com‐
pile on your system.
Created by Eric Wing. This module is a bit more complicated than
the other FindSDL* family modules. The reason is that SDL_sound
can be compiled in a large variety of different ways which are
independent of platform. SDL_sound may dynamically link against
other 3rd party libraries to get additional codec support, such
as Ogg Vorbis, SMPEG, ModPlug, MikMod, FLAC, Speex, and poten‐
tially others. Under some circumstances which I don't fully
understand, there seems to be a requirement that dependent
libraries of libraries you use must also be explicitly linked
against in order to successfully compile. SDL_sound does not
currently have any system in place to know how it was compiled.
So this CMake module does the hard work in trying to discover
which 3rd party libraries are required for building (if any).
This module uses a brute force approach to create a test program
that uses SDL_sound, and then tries to build it. If the build
fails, it parses the error output for known symbol names to fig‐
ure out which libraries are needed.
Responds to the $SDLDIR and $SDLSOUNDDIR environmental variable
that would correspond to the ./configure --prefix=$SDLDIR used
in building SDL.
On OSX, this will prefer the Framework version (if found) over
others. People will have to manually change the cache values of
SDL_LIBRARY to override this selectionor set the CMake environ‐
ment CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH to modify the search paths.
FindSDL_ttf
Locate SDL_ttf library
This module defines:
SDL_TTF_LIBRARIES, the name of the library to link against
SDL_TTF_INCLUDE_DIRS, where to find the headers
SDL_TTF_FOUND, if false, do not try to link against
SDL_TTF_VERSION_STRING - human-readable string containing the version of SDL_ttf
For backward compatiblity the following variables are also set:
SDLTTF_LIBRARY (same value as SDL_TTF_LIBRARIES)
SDLTTF_INCLUDE_DIR (same value as SDL_TTF_INCLUDE_DIRS)
SDLTTF_FOUND (same value as SDL_TTF_FOUND)
$SDLDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the
./configure --prefix=$SDLDIR used in building SDL.
Created by Eric Wing. This was influenced by the FindSDL.cmake
module, but with modifications to recognize OS X frameworks and
additional Unix paths (FreeBSD, etc).
FindSWIG
Find SWIG
This module finds an installed SWIG. It sets the following
variables:
SWIG_FOUND - set to true if SWIG is found
SWIG_DIR - the directory where swig is installed
SWIG_EXECUTABLE - the path to the swig executable
SWIG_VERSION - the version number of the swig executable
The minimum required version of SWIG can be specified using the
standard syntax, e.g. find_package(SWIG 1.1)
All information is collected from the SWIG_EXECUTABLE so the
version to be found can be changed from the command line by
means of setting SWIG_EXECUTABLE
FindSelfPackers
Find upx
This module looks for some executable packers (i.e. software
that compress executables or shared libs into on-the-fly
self-extracting executables or shared libs. Examples:
UPX: http://wildsau.idv.uni-linz.ac.at/mfx/upx.html
FindSquish
-- Typical Use
This module can be used to find Squish. Currently Squish ver‐
sions 3 and 4 are supported.
SQUISH_FOUND If false, don't try to use Squish
SQUISH_VERSION The full version of Squish found
SQUISH_VERSION_MAJOR The major version of Squish found
SQUISH_VERSION_MINOR The minor version of Squish found
SQUISH_VERSION_PATCH The patch version of Squish found
SQUISH_INSTALL_DIR The Squish installation directory (containing bin, lib, etc)
SQUISH_SERVER_EXECUTABLE The squishserver executable
SQUISH_CLIENT_EXECUTABLE The squishrunner executable
SQUISH_INSTALL_DIR_FOUND Was the install directory found?
SQUISH_SERVER_EXECUTABLE_FOUND Was the server executable found?
SQUISH_CLIENT_EXECUTABLE_FOUND Was the client executable found?
It provides the function squish_v4_add_test() for adding a
squish test to cmake using Squish 4.x:
squish_v4_add_test(cmakeTestName AUT targetName SUITE suiteName TEST squishTestName
[SETTINGSGROUP group] [PRE_COMMAND command] [POST_COMMAND command] )
The arguments have the following meaning:
cmakeTestName: this will be used as the first argument for add_test()
AUT targetName: the name of the cmake target which will be used as AUT, i.e. the
executable which will be tested.
SUITE suiteName: this is either the full path to the squish suite, or just the
last directory of the suite, i.e. the suite name. In this case
the CMakeLists.txt which calls squish_add_test() must be located
in the parent directory of the suite directory.
TEST squishTestName: the name of the squish test, i.e. the name of the subdirectory
of the test inside the suite directory.
SETTINGSGROUP group: if specified, the given settings group will be used for executing the test.
If not specified, the groupname will be "CTest_<username>"
PRE_COMMAND command: if specified, the given command will be executed before starting the squish test.
POST_COMMAND command: same as PRE_COMMAND, but after the squish test has been executed.
enable_testing()
find_package(Squish 4.0)
if (SQUISH_FOUND)
squish_v4_add_test(myTestName AUT myApp SUITE ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/tests/mySuite TEST someSquishTest SETTINGSGROUP myGroup )
endif ()
For users of Squish version 3.x the macro squish_v3_add_test()
is provided:
squish_v3_add_test(testName applicationUnderTest testCase envVars testWrapper)
Use this macro to add a test using Squish 3.x.
enable_testing()find_package(Squish)
if (SQUISH_FOUND)
squish_v3_add_test(myTestName myApplication testCase envVars testWrapper)
endif ()
macro SQUISH_ADD_TEST(testName applicationUnderTest testCase
envVars testWrapper)
This is deprecated. Use SQUISH_V3_ADD_TEST() if you are using Squish 3.x instead.
FindSubversion
Extract information from a subversion working copy
The module defines the following variables:
Subversion_SVN_EXECUTABLE - path to svn command line client
Subversion_VERSION_SVN - version of svn command line client
Subversion_FOUND - true if the command line client was found
SUBVERSION_FOUND - same as Subversion_FOUND, set for compatiblity reasons
The minimum required version of Subversion can be specified
using the standard syntax, e.g. find_package(Subversion 1.4)
If the command line client executable is found two macros are
defined:
Subversion_WC_INFO(<dir> <var-prefix>)
Subversion_WC_LOG(<dir> <var-prefix>)
Subversion_WC_INFO extracts information of a subversion working
copy at a given location. This macro defines the following vari‐
ables:
<var-prefix>_WC_URL - url of the repository (at <dir>)
<var-prefix>_WC_ROOT - root url of the repository
<var-prefix>_WC_REVISION - current revision
<var-prefix>_WC_LAST_CHANGED_AUTHOR - author of last commit
<var-prefix>_WC_LAST_CHANGED_DATE - date of last commit
<var-prefix>_WC_LAST_CHANGED_REV - revision of last commit
<var-prefix>_WC_INFO - output of command `svn info <dir>'
Subversion_WC_LOG retrieves the log message of the base revision
of a subversion working copy at a given location. This macro
defines the variable:
<var-prefix>_LAST_CHANGED_LOG - last log of base revision
Example usage:
find_package(Subversion)if(SUBVERSION_FOUND)
Subversion_WC_INFO(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} Project)
message("Current revision is ${Project_WC_REVISION}")
Subversion_WC_LOG(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} Project)
message("Last changed log is ${Project_LAST_CHANGED_LOG}")
endif()
FindTCL
TK_INTERNAL_PATH was removed.
This module finds if Tcl is installed and determines where the
include files and libraries are. It also determines what the
name of the library is. This code sets the following variables:
TCL_FOUND = Tcl was found
TK_FOUND = Tk was found
TCLTK_FOUND = Tcl and Tk were found
TCL_LIBRARY = path to Tcl library (tcl tcl80)
TCL_INCLUDE_PATH = path to where tcl.h can be found
TCL_TCLSH = path to tclsh binary (tcl tcl80)
TK_LIBRARY = path to Tk library (tk tk80 etc)
TK_INCLUDE_PATH = path to where tk.h can be found
TK_WISH = full path to the wish executable
In an effort to remove some clutter and clear up some issues for
people who are not necessarily Tcl/Tk gurus/developpers, some
variables were moved or removed. Changes compared to CMake 2.4
are:
=> they were only useful for people writing Tcl/Tk extensions.
=> these libs are not packaged by default with Tcl/Tk distributions.
Even when Tcl/Tk is built from source, several flavors of debug libs
are created and there is no real reason to pick a single one
specifically (say, amongst tcl84g, tcl84gs, or tcl84sgx).
Let's leave that choice to the user by allowing him to assign
TCL_LIBRARY to any Tcl library, debug or not.
=> this ended up being only a Win32 variable, and there is a lot of
confusion regarding the location of this file in an installed Tcl/Tk
tree anyway (see 8.5 for example). If you need the internal path at
this point it is safer you ask directly where the *source* tree is
and dig from there.
FindTIFF
Find TIFF library
Find the native TIFF includes and library This module defines
TIFF_INCLUDE_DIR, where to find tiff.h, etc.
TIFF_LIBRARIES, libraries to link against to use TIFF.
TIFF_FOUND, If false, do not try to use TIFF.
also defined, but not for general use are
TIFF_LIBRARY, where to find the TIFF library.
FindTclStub
TCL_STUB_LIBRARY_DEBUG and TK_STUB_LIBRARY_DEBUG were removed.
This module finds Tcl stub libraries. It first finds Tcl include
files and libraries by calling FindTCL.cmake. How to Use the Tcl
Stubs Library:
http://tcl.activestate.com/doc/howto/stubs.html
Using Stub Libraries:
http://safari.oreilly.com/0130385603/ch48lev1sec3
This code sets the following variables:
TCL_STUB_LIBRARY = path to Tcl stub library
TK_STUB_LIBRARY = path to Tk stub library
TTK_STUB_LIBRARY = path to ttk stub library
In an effort to remove some clutter and clear up some issues for
people who are not necessarily Tcl/Tk gurus/developpers, some
variables were moved or removed. Changes compared to CMake 2.4
are:
=> these libs are not packaged by default with Tcl/Tk distributions.
Even when Tcl/Tk is built from source, several flavors of debug libs
are created and there is no real reason to pick a single one
specifically (say, amongst tclstub84g, tclstub84gs, or tclstub84sgx).
Let's leave that choice to the user by allowing him to assign
TCL_STUB_LIBRARY to any Tcl library, debug or not.
FindTclsh
Find tclsh
This module finds if TCL is installed and determines where the
include files and libraries are. It also determines what the
name of the library is. This code sets the following variables:
TCLSH_FOUND = TRUE if tclsh has been found
TCL_TCLSH = the path to the tclsh executable
In cygwin, look for the cygwin version first. Don't look for it
later to avoid finding the cygwin version on a Win32 build.
FindThreads
This module determines the thread library of the system.
The following variables are set
CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT - the thread library
CMAKE_USE_SPROC_INIT - are we using sproc?
CMAKE_USE_WIN32_THREADS_INIT - using WIN32 threads?
CMAKE_USE_PTHREADS_INIT - are we using pthreads
CMAKE_HP_PTHREADS_INIT - are we using hp pthreads
For systems with multiple thread libraries, caller can set
CMAKE_THREAD_PREFER_PTHREAD
FindUnixCommands
Find unix commands from cygwin
This module looks for some usual Unix commands.
FindVTK
Find a VTK installation or build tree.
The following variables are set if VTK is found. If VTK is not
found, VTK_FOUND is set to false.
VTK_FOUND - Set to true when VTK is found.
VTK_USE_FILE - CMake file to use VTK.
VTK_MAJOR_VERSION - The VTK major version number.
VTK_MINOR_VERSION - The VTK minor version number
(odd non-release).
VTK_BUILD_VERSION - The VTK patch level
(meaningless for odd minor).
VTK_INCLUDE_DIRS - Include directories for VTK
VTK_LIBRARY_DIRS - Link directories for VTK libraries
VTK_KITS - List of VTK kits, in CAPS
(COMMON,IO,) etc.
VTK_LANGUAGES - List of wrapped languages, in CAPS
(TCL, PYHTON,) etc.
The following cache entries must be set by the user to locate
VTK:
VTK_DIR - The directory containing VTKConfig.cmake.
This is either the root of the build tree,
or the lib/vtk directory. This is the
only cache entry.
The following variables are set for backward compatibility and
should not be used in new code:
USE_VTK_FILE - The full path to the UseVTK.cmake file.
This is provided for backward
compatibility. Use VTK_USE_FILE
instead.
FindWget

This module looks for wget. This module defines the following
values:
WGET_EXECUTABLE: the full path to the wget tool.
WGET_FOUND: True if wget has been found.
FindWish

This module finds if TCL is installed and determines where the
include files and libraries are. It also determines what the
name of the library is. This code sets the following variables:
TK_WISH = the path to the wish executable
if UNIX is defined, then it will look for the cygwin version
first
FindX11
Find X11 installation
Try to find X11 on UNIX systems. The following values are
defined
X11_FOUND - True if X11 is available
X11_INCLUDE_DIR - include directories to use X11

Findosg
NOTE: It is highly recommended that you use the new FindOpen‐
SceneGraph.cmake introduced in CMake 2.6.3 and not use this Find
module directly.
This is part of the Findosg* suite used to find OpenSceneGraph
components. Each component is separate and you must opt in to
each module. You must also opt into OpenGL and OpenThreads (and
Producer if needed) as these modules won't do it for you. This
is to allow you control over your own system piece by piece in
case you need to opt out of certain components or change the
Find behavior for a particular module (perhaps because the
default FindOpenGL.cmake module doesn't work with your system as
an example). If you want to use a more convenient module that
includes everything, use the FindOpenSceneGraph.cmake instead of
the Findosg*.cmake modules.

Findosg_functions
This CMake file contains two macros to assist with searching for
OSG libraries and nodekits. Please see FindOpenSceneGraph.cmake
for full documentation.
FindwxWidgets
Find a wxWidgets (a.k.a., wxWindows) installation.
This module finds if wxWidgets is installed and selects a
default configuration to use. wxWidgets is a modular library. To
specify the modules that you will use, you need to name them as
components to the package:
find_package(wxWidgets COMPONENTS core base ...)
There are two search branches: a windows style and a unix style.
For windows, the following variables are searched for and set to
defaults in case of multiple choices. Change them if the
defaults are not desired (i.e., these are the only variables you
should change to select a configuration):
wxWidgets_ROOT_DIR - Base wxWidgets directory
(e.g., C:/wxWidgets-2.6.3).
wxWidgets_LIB_DIR - Path to wxWidgets libraries
(e.g., C:/wxWidgets-2.6.3/lib/vc_lib).
wxWidgets_CONFIGURATION - Configuration to use
(e.g., msw, mswd, mswu, mswunivud, etc.)
wxWidgets_EXCLUDE_COMMON_LIBRARIES
- Set to TRUE to exclude linking of
commonly required libs (e.g., png tiff
jpeg zlib regex expat).
For unix style it uses the wx-config utility. You can select
between debug/release, unicode/ansi, universal/non-universal,
and static/shared in the QtDialog or ccmake interfaces by turn‐
ing ON/OFF the following variables:
wxWidgets_USE_DEBUG
wxWidgets_USE_UNICODE
wxWidgets_USE_UNIVERSAL
wxWidgets_USE_STATIC
There is also a wxWidgets_CONFIG_OPTIONS variable for all other
options that need to be passed to the wx-config utility. For
example, to use the base toolkit found in the /usr/local path,
set the variable (before calling the FIND_PACKAGE command) as
such:
set(wxWidgets_CONFIG_OPTIONS --toolkit=base --prefix=/usr)
The following are set after the configuration is done for both
windows and unix style:
wxWidgets_FOUND - Set to TRUE if wxWidgets was found.
wxWidgets_INCLUDE_DIRS - Include directories for WIN32
i.e., where to find "wx/wx.h" and
"wx/setup.h"; possibly empty for unices.
wxWidgets_LIBRARIES - Path to the wxWidgets libraries.
wxWidgets_LIBRARY_DIRS - compile time link dirs, useful for
rpath on UNIX. Typically an empty string
in WIN32 environment.
wxWidgets_DEFINITIONS - Contains defines required to compile/link
against WX, e.g. WXUSINGDLL
wxWidgets_DEFINITIONS_DEBUG- Contains defines required to compile/link
against WX debug builds, e.g. __WXDEBUG__
wxWidgets_CXX_FLAGS - Include dirs and compiler flags for
unices, empty on WIN32. Essentially
"`wx-config --cxxflags`".
wxWidgets_USE_FILE - Convenience include file.
Sample usage:
# Note that for MinGW users the order of libs is important!
find_package(wxWidgets COMPONENTS net gl core base)
if(wxWidgets_FOUND)
include(${wxWidgets_USE_FILE})
# and for each of your dependent executable/library targets:
target_link_libraries(<YourTarget> ${wxWidgets_LIBRARIES})
endif()
If wxWidgets is required (i.e., not an optional part):
find_package(wxWidgets REQUIRED net gl core base)
include(${wxWidgets_USE_FILE})
# and for each of your dependent executable/library targets:
target_link_libraries(<YourTarget> ${wxWidgets_LIBRARIES})
FindwxWindows
Find wxWindows (wxWidgets) installation
This module finds if wxWindows/wxWidgets is installed and deter‐
mines where the include files and libraries are. It also deter‐
mines what the name of the library is. Please note this file is
DEPRECATED and replaced by FindwxWidgets.cmake. This code sets
the following variables:
WXWINDOWS_FOUND = system has WxWindows
WXWINDOWS_LIBRARIES = path to the wxWindows libraries
on Unix/Linux with additional
linker flags from
"wx-config --libs"
CMAKE_WXWINDOWS_CXX_FLAGS = Compiler flags for wxWindows,
essentially "`wx-config --cxxflags`"
on Linux
WXWINDOWS_INCLUDE_DIR = where to find "wx/wx.h" and "wx/setup.h"
WXWINDOWS_LINK_DIRECTORIES = link directories, useful for rpath on
Unix
WXWINDOWS_DEFINITIONS = extra defines
OPTIONS If you need OpenGL support please
set(WXWINDOWS_USE_GL 1)
in your CMakeLists.txt *before* you include this file.
HAVE_ISYSTEM - true required to replace -I by -isystem on g++
For convenience include Use_wxWindows.cmake in your project's
CMakeLists.txt using include(${CMAKE_CUR‐
RENT_LIST_DIR}/Use_wxWindows.cmake).
USAGE

FortranCInterface
Fortran/C Interface Detection
This module automatically detects the API by which C and Fortran
languages interact. Variables indicate if the mangling is
found:
FortranCInterface_GLOBAL_FOUND = Global subroutines and functions
FortranCInterface_MODULE_FOUND = Module subroutines and functions
(declared by "MODULE PROCEDURE")
A function is provided to generate a C header file containing
macros to mangle symbol names:
FortranCInterface_HEADER(<file>
[MACRO_NAMESPACE <macro-ns>]
[SYMBOL_NAMESPACE <ns>]
[SYMBOLS [<module>:]<function> ...])
It generates in <file> definitions of the following macros:
#define FortranCInterface_GLOBAL (name,NAME) ...
#define FortranCInterface_GLOBAL_(name,NAME) ...
#define FortranCInterface_MODULE (mod,name, MOD,NAME) ...
#define FortranCInterface_MODULE_(mod,name, MOD,NAME) ...
These macros mangle four categories of Fortran symbols, respec‐
tively:
- Global symbols without '_': call mysub()
- Global symbols with '_' : call my_sub()
- Module symbols without '_': use mymod; call mysub()
- Module symbols with '_' : use mymod; call my_sub()
If mangling for a category is not known, its macro is left unde‐
fined. All macros require raw names in both lower case and upper
case. The MACRO_NAMESPACE option replaces the default "FortranC‐
Interface_" prefix with a given namespace "<macro-ns>".
The SYMBOLS option lists symbols to mangle automatically with C
preprocessor definitions:
<function> ==> #define <ns><function> ...
<module>:<function> ==> #define <ns><module>_<function> ...
If the mangling for some symbol is not known then no preproces‐
sor definition is created, and a warning is displayed. The SYM‐
BOL_NAMESPACE option prefixes all preprocessor definitions gen‐
erated by the SYMBOLS option with a given namespace "<ns>".
Example usage:
include(FortranCInterface)
FortranCInterface_HEADER(FC.h MACRO_NAMESPACE "FC_")
This creates a "FC.h" header that defines mangling macros
FC_GLOBAL(), FC_GLOBAL_(), FC_MODULE(), and FC_MODULE_().
Example usage:
include(FortranCInterface)
FortranCInterface_HEADER(FCMangle.h
MACRO_NAMESPACE "FC_"
SYMBOL_NAMESPACE "FC_"
SYMBOLS mysub mymod:my_sub)
This creates a "FCMangle.h" header that defines the same FC_*()
mangling macros as the previous example plus preprocessor sym‐
bols FC_mysub and FC_mymod_my_sub.
Another function is provided to verify that the Fortran and
C/C++ compilers work together:
FortranCInterface_VERIFY([CXX] [QUIET])
It tests whether a simple test executable using Fortran and C
(and C++ when the CXX option is given) compiles and links suc‐
cessfully. The result is stored in the cache entry FortranCIn‐
terface_VERIFIED_C (or FortranCInterface_VERIFIED_CXX if CXX is
given) as a boolean. If the check fails and QUIET is not given
the function terminates with a FATAL_ERROR message describing
the problem. The purpose of this check is to stop a build early
for incompatible compiler combinations. The test is built in
the Release configuration.
FortranCInterface is aware of possible GLOBAL and MODULE man‐
glings for many Fortran compilers, but it also provides an
interface to specify new possible manglings. Set the variables
FortranCInterface_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS
FortranCInterface_MODULE_SYMBOLS
before including FortranCInterface to specify manglings of the
symbols "MySub", "My_Sub", "MyModule:MySub", and "My_Mod‐
ule:My_Sub". For example, the code:
set(FortranCInterface_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS mysub_ my_sub__ MYSUB_)
# ^^^^^ ^^^^^^ ^^^^^
set(FortranCInterface_MODULE_SYMBOLS
__mymodule_MOD_mysub __my_module_MOD_my_sub)
# ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^
include(FortranCInterface)
tells FortranCInterface to try given GLOBAL and MODULE man‐
glings. (The carets point at raw symbol names for clarity in
this example but are not needed.)
GNUInstallDirs
Define GNU standard installation directories
Provides install directory variables as defined for GNU soft‐
ware:
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Directory-Variables.html
Inclusion of this module defines the following variables:
CMAKE_INSTALL_<dir> - destination for files of a given type
CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_<dir> - corresponding absolute path
where <dir> is one of:
BINDIR - user executables (bin)
SBINDIR - system admin executables (sbin)
LIBEXECDIR - program executables (libexec)
SYSCONFDIR - read-only single-machine data (etc)
SHAREDSTATEDIR - modifiable architecture-independent data (com)
LOCALSTATEDIR - modifiable single-machine data (var)
LIBDIR - object code libraries (lib or lib64 or lib/<multiarch-tuple> on Debian)
INCLUDEDIR - C header files (include)
OLDINCLUDEDIR - C header files for non-gcc (/usr/include)
DATAROOTDIR - read-only architecture-independent data root (share)
DATADIR - read-only architecture-independent data (DATAROOTDIR)
INFODIR - info documentation (DATAROOTDIR/info)
LOCALEDIR - locale-dependent data (DATAROOTDIR/locale)
MANDIR - man documentation (DATAROOTDIR/man)
DOCDIR - documentation root (DATAROOTDIR/doc/PROJECT_NAME)
Each CMAKE_INSTALL_<dir> value may be passed to the DESTINATION
options of install() commands for the corresponding file type.
If the includer does not define a value the above-shown default
will be used and the value will appear in the cache for editing
by the user. Each CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_<dir> value contains an
absolute path constructed from the corresponding destination by
prepending (if necessary) the value of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
GenerateExportHeader
Function for generation of export macros for libraries
This module provides the function GENERATE_EXPORT_HEADER() and
the accompanying ADD_COMPILER_EXPORT_FLAGS() function.
The GENERATE_EXPORT_HEADER function can be used to generate a
file suitable for preprocessor inclusion which contains EXPORT
macros to be used in library classes.
GENERATE_EXPORT_HEADER( LIBRARY_TARGET
[BASE_NAME <base_name>]
[EXPORT_MACRO_NAME <export_macro_name>]
[EXPORT_FILE_NAME <export_file_name>]
[DEPRECATED_MACRO_NAME <deprecated_macro_name>]
[NO_EXPORT_MACRO_NAME <no_export_macro_name>]
[STATIC_DEFINE <static_define>]
[NO_DEPRECATED_MACRO_NAME <no_deprecated_macro_name>]
[DEFINE_NO_DEPRECATED]
[PREFIX_NAME <prefix_name>]
)
ADD_COMPILER_EXPORT_FLAGS( [<output_variable>] )
By default GENERATE_EXPORT_HEADER() generates macro names in a
file name determined by the name of the library. The ADD_COM‐
PILER_EXPORT_FLAGS function adds -fvisibility=hidden to
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS if supported, and is a no-op on Windows which
does not need extra compiler flags for exporting support. You
may optionally pass a single argument to ADD_COM‐
PILER_EXPORT_FLAGS that will be populated with the required
CXX_FLAGS required to enable visibility support for the com‐
piler/architecture in use.
This means that in the simplest case, users of these functions
will be equivalent to:
add_compiler_export_flags()
add_library(somelib someclass.cpp)
generate_export_header(somelib)
install(TARGETS somelib DESTINATION ${LIBRARY_INSTALL_DIR})
install(FILES
someclass.h
${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/somelib_export.h DESTINATION ${INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR}
)
And in the ABI header files:
#include "somelib_export.h"
class SOMELIB_EXPORT SomeClass {
...
};
The CMake fragment will generate a file in the ${CMAKE_CUR‐
RENT_BINARY_DIR} called somelib_export.h containing the macros
SOMELIB_EXPORT, SOMELIB_NO_EXPORT, SOMELIB_DEPRECATED,
SOMELIB_DEPRECATED_EXPORT and SOMELIB_DEPRECATED_NO_EXPORT. The
resulting file should be installed with other headers in the
library.
The BASE_NAME argument can be used to override the file name and
the names used for the macros
add_library(somelib someclass.cpp)
generate_export_header(somelib
BASE_NAME other_name
)
Generates a file called other_name_export.h containing the
macros OTHER_NAME_EXPORT, OTHER_NAME_NO_EXPORT and
OTHER_NAME_DEPRECATED etc.
The BASE_NAME may be overridden by specifiying other options in
the function. For example:
add_library(somelib someclass.cpp)
generate_export_header(somelib
EXPORT_MACRO_NAME OTHER_NAME_EXPORT
)
creates the macro OTHER_NAME_EXPORT instead of SOMELIB_EXPORT,
but other macros and the generated file name is as default.
add_library(somelib someclass.cpp)
generate_export_header(somelib
DEPRECATED_MACRO_NAME KDE_DEPRECATED
)
creates the macro KDE_DEPRECATED instead of SOMELIB_DEPRECATED.
If LIBRARY_TARGET is a static library, macros are defined with‐
out values.
If the same sources are used to create both a shared and a
static library, the uppercased symbol ${BASE_NAME}_STATIC_DEFINE
should be used when building the static library
add_library(shared_variant SHARED ${lib_SRCS})
add_library(static_variant ${lib_SRCS})
generate_export_header(shared_variant BASE_NAME libshared_and_static)
set_target_properties(static_variant PROPERTIES
COMPILE_FLAGS -DLIBSHARED_AND_STATIC_STATIC_DEFINE)
This will cause the export macros to expand to nothing when
building the static library.
If DEFINE_NO_DEPRECATED is specified, then a macro
${BASE_NAME}_NO_DEPRECATED will be defined This macro can be
used to remove deprecated code from preprocessor output.
option(EXCLUDE_DEPRECATED "Exclude deprecated parts of the library" FALSE)
if (EXCLUDE_DEPRECATED)
set(NO_BUILD_DEPRECATED DEFINE_NO_DEPRECATED)
endif()
generate_export_header(somelib ${NO_BUILD_DEPRECATED})
And then in somelib:
class SOMELIB_EXPORT SomeClass
{
public:
#ifndef SOMELIB_NO_DEPRECATED
SOMELIB_DEPRECATED void oldMethod();
#endif
};
#ifndef SOMELIB_NO_DEPRECATED
void SomeClass::oldMethod() { }
#endif
If PREFIX_NAME is specified, the argument will be used as a pre‐
fix to all generated macros.
For example:
generate_export_header(somelib PREFIX_NAME VTK_)
Generates the macros VTK_SOMELIB_EXPORT etc.
GetPrerequisites
Functions to analyze and list executable file prerequisites.
This module provides functions to list the .dll, .dylib or .so
files that an executable or shared library file depends on. (Its
prerequisites.)
It uses various tools to obtain the list of required shared
library files:
dumpbin (Windows)
objdump (MinGW on Windows)
ldd (Linux/Unix)
otool (Mac OSX)
The following functions are provided by this module:
get_prerequisites
list_prerequisites
list_prerequisites_by_glob
gp_append_unique
is_file_executable
gp_item_default_embedded_path
(projects can override with gp_item_default_embedded_path_override)
gp_resolve_item
(projects can override with gp_resolve_item_override)
gp_resolved_file_type
(projects can override with gp_resolved_file_type_override)
gp_file_type
Requires CMake 2.6 or greater because it uses function, break,
return and PARENT_SCOPE.
GET_PREREQUISITES(<target> <prerequisites_var> <exclude_system> <recurse>
<exepath> <dirs>)
Get the list of shared library files required by <target>. The
list in the variable named <prerequisites_var> should be empty
on first entry to this function. On exit, <prerequisites_var>
will contain the list of required shared library files.
<target> is the full path to an executable file. <prerequi‐
sites_var> is the name of a CMake variable to contain the
results. <exclude_system> must be 0 or 1 indicating whether to
include or exclude "system" prerequisites. If <recurse> is set
to 1 all prerequisites will be found recursively, if set to 0
only direct prerequisites are listed. <exepath> is the path to
the top level executable used for @executable_path replacment on
the Mac. <dirs> is a list of paths where libraries might be
found: these paths are searched first when a target without any
path info is given. Then standard system locations are also
searched: PATH, Framework locations, /usr/lib...
LIST_PREREQUISITES(<target> [<recurse> [<exclude_system> [<verbose>]]])
Print a message listing the prerequisites of <target>.
<target> is the name of a shared library or executable target or
the full path to a shared library or executable file. If
<recurse> is set to 1 all prerequisites will be found recur‐
sively, if set to 0 only direct prerequisites are listed.
<exclude_system> must be 0 or 1 indicating whether to include or
exclude "system" prerequisites. With <verbose> set to 0 only the
full path names of the prerequisites are printed, set to 1 extra
informatin will be displayed.
LIST_PREREQUISITES_BY_GLOB(<glob_arg> <glob_exp>)
Print the prerequisites of shared library and executable files
matching a globbing pattern. <glob_arg> is GLOB or GLOB_RECURSE
and <glob_exp> is a globbing expression used with "file(GLOB" or
"file(GLOB_RECURSE" to retrieve a list of matching files. If a
matching file is executable, its prerequisites are listed.
Any additional (optional) arguments provided are passed along as
the optional arguments to the list_prerequisites calls.
GP_APPEND_UNIQUE(<list_var> <value>)
Append <value> to the list variable <list_var> only if the value
is not already in the list.
IS_FILE_EXECUTABLE(<file> <result_var>)
Return 1 in <result_var> if <file> is a binary executable, 0
otherwise.
GP_ITEM_DEFAULT_EMBEDDED_PATH(<item> <default_embedded_path_var>)
Return the path that others should refer to the item by when the
item is embedded inside a bundle.
Override on a per-project basis by providing a project-specific
gp_item_default_embedded_path_override function.
GP_RESOLVE_ITEM(<context> <item> <exepath> <dirs> <resolved_item_var>)
Resolve an item into an existing full path file.
Override on a per-project basis by providing a project-specific
gp_resolve_item_override function.
GP_RESOLVED_FILE_TYPE(<original_file> <file> <exepath> <dirs> <type_var>)
Return the type of <file> with respect to <original_file>.
String describing type of prerequisite is returned in variable
named <type_var>.
Use <exepath> and <dirs> if necessary to resolve non-absolute
<file> values -- but only for non-embedded items.
Possible types are:
system
local
embedded
other
Override on a per-project basis by providing a project-specific
gp_resolved_file_type_override function.
GP_FILE_TYPE(<original_file> <file> <type_var>)
Return the type of <file> with respect to <original_file>.
String describing type of prerequisite is returned in variable
named <type_var>.
Possible types are:
system
local
embedded

InstallRequiredSystemLibraries
By including this file, all library files listed in the variable
CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS will be installed with
install(PROGRAMS ...) into bin for WIN32 and lib for non-WIN32.
If CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS_SKIP is set to TRUE before
including this file, then the INSTALL command is not called. The
user can use the variable CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS to
use a custom install command and install them however they want.
If it is the MSVC compiler, then the microsoft run time
libraries will be found and automatically added to the
CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS, and installed. If
CMAKE_INSTALL_DEBUG_LIBRARIES is set and it is the MSVC com‐
piler, then the debug libraries are installed when available. If
CMAKE_INSTALL_DEBUG_LIBRARIES_ONLY is set then only the debug
libraries are installed when both debug and release are avail‐
able. If CMAKE_INSTALL_MFC_LIBRARIES is set then the MFC run
time libraries are installed as well as the CRT run time
libraries. If CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_DESTINATION is set
then the libraries are installed to that directory rather than
the default. If CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS_NO_WARNINGS is
NOT set, then this file warns about required files that do not
exist. You can set this variable to ON before including this
file to avoid the warning. For example, the Visual Studio
Express editions do not include the redistributable files, so if
you include this file on a machine with only VS Express
installed, you'll get the warning.
MacroAddFileDependencies
MACRO_ADD_FILE_DEPENDENCIES(<_file> depend_files...)
Using the macro MACRO_ADD_FILE_DEPENDENCIES() is discouraged.
There are usually better ways to specify the correct dependen‐
cies.
MACRO_ADD_FILE_DEPENDENCIES(<_file> depend_files...) is just a
convenience wrapper around the OBJECT_DEPENDS source file prop‐
erty. You can just use set_property(SOURCE <file> APPEND PROP‐
ERTY OBJECT_DEPENDS depend_files) instead.
ProcessorCount
ProcessorCount(var)
Determine the number of processors/cores and save value in
${var}
Sets the variable named ${var} to the number of physical cores
available on the machine if the information can be determined.
Otherwise it is set to 0. Currently this functionality is imple‐
mented for AIX, cygwin, FreeBSD, HPUX, IRIX, Linux, Mac OS X,
QNX, Sun and Windows.
This function is guaranteed to return a positive integer (>=1)
if it succeeds. It returns 0 if there's a problem determining
the processor count.
Example use, in a ctest -S dashboard script:
include(ProcessorCount)ProcessorCount(N)
if(NOT N EQUAL 0)
set(CTEST_BUILD_FLAGS -j${N})
set(ctest_test_args ${ctest_test_args} PARALLEL_LEVEL ${N})
endif()
This function is intended to offer an approximation of the value
of the number of compute cores available on the current machine,
such that you may use that value for parallel building and par‐
allel testing. It is meant to help utilize as much of the
machine as seems reasonable. Of course, knowledge of what else
might be running on the machine simultaneously should be used
when deciding whether to request a machine's full capacity all
for yourself.
Qt4ConfigDependentSettings

directly.
Qt4Macros
This file is included by FindQt4.cmake, don't include it
directly.
SelectLibraryConfigurations
select_library_configurations( basename )
This macro takes a library base name as an argument, and will
choose good values for basename_LIBRARY, basename_LIBRARIES,
basename_LIBRARY_DEBUG, and basename_LIBRARY_RELEASE depending
on what has been found and set. If only base‐
name_LIBRARY_RELEASE is defined, basename_LIBRARY will be set to
the release value, and basename_LIBRARY_DEBUG will be set to
basename_LIBRARY_DEBUG-NOTFOUND. If only basename_LIBRARY_DEBUG
is defined, then basename_LIBRARY will take the debug value, and
basename_LIBRARY_RELEASE will be set to base‐
name_LIBRARY_RELEASE-NOTFOUND.
If the generator supports configuration types, then base‐
name_LIBRARY and basename_LIBRARIES will be set with debug and
optimized flags specifying the library to be used for the given
configuration. If no build type has been set or the generator
in use does not support configuration types, then base‐
name_LIBRARY and basename_LIBRARIES will take only the release
value, or the debug value if the release one is not set.
SquishTestScript
This script launches a GUI test using Squish. You should not
call the script directly; instead, you should access it via the
SQUISH_ADD_TEST macro that is defined in FindSquish.cmake.
This script starts the Squish server, launches the test on the
client, and finally stops the squish server. If any of these
steps fail (including if the tests do not pass) then a fatal
error is raised.
TestBigEndian
Define macro to determine endian type
Check if the system is big endian or little endian
TEST_BIG_ENDIAN(VARIABLE)
VARIABLE - variable to store the result to
TestCXXAcceptsFlag
Test CXX compiler for a flag
Check if the CXX compiler accepts a flag
Macro CHECK_CXX_ACCEPTS_FLAG(FLAGS VARIABLE) -
checks if the function exists
FLAGS - the flags to try
VARIABLE - variable to store the result
TestForANSIForScope
Check for ANSI for scope support
Check if the compiler restricts the scope of variables declared
in a for-init-statement to the loop body.
CMAKE_NO_ANSI_FOR_SCOPE - holds result
TestForANSIStreamHeaders
Test for compiler support of ANSI stream headers iostream, etc.
check if the compiler supports the standard ANSI iostream header
(without the .h)
CMAKE_NO_ANSI_STREAM_HEADERS - defined by the results
TestForSSTREAM
Test for compiler support of ANSI sstream header
check if the compiler supports the standard ANSI sstream header
CMAKE_NO_ANSI_STRING_STREAM - defined by the results
TestForSTDNamespace
Test for std:: namespace support
check if the compiler supports std:: on stl classes
CMAKE_NO_STD_NAMESPACE - defined by the results
UseEcos
This module defines variables and macros required to build eCos
application.
This file contains the following macros: ECOS_ADD_INCLUDE_DIREC‐
TORIES() - add the eCos include dirs ECOS_ADD_EXECUTABLE(name
source1 ... sourceN ) - create an eCos executable
ECOS_ADJUST_DIRECTORY(VAR source1 ... sourceN ) - adjusts the
path of the source files and puts the result into VAR
Macros for selecting the toolchain: ECOS_USE_ARM_ELF_TOOLS()
- enable the ARM ELF toolchain for the directory where it is
called ECOS_USE_I386_ELF_TOOLS() - enable the i386 ELF
toolchain for the directory where it is called
ECOS_USE_PPC_EABI_TOOLS() - enable the PowerPC toolchain
for the directory where it is called
It contains the following variables: ECOS_DEFINITIONS ECOSCON‐
FIG_EXECUTABLE ECOS_CONFIG_FILE - defaults to
ecos.ecc, if your eCos configuration file has a different name,
adjust this variable for internal use only:
ECOS_ADD_TARGET_LIB
UseJava
Use Module for Java
This file provides functions for Java. It is assumed that Find‐
Java.cmake has already been loaded. See FindJava.cmake for
information on how to load Java into your CMake project.
add_jar(target_name
[SOURCES] source1 [source2 ...] [resource1 ...]
[INCLUDE_JARS jar1 [jar2 ...]]
[ENTRY_POINT entry]
[VERSION version]
[OUTPUT_NAME name]
[OUTPUT_DIR dir]
)
This command creates a <target_name>.jar. It compiles the given
source files (source) and adds the given resource files
(resource) to the jar file. If only resource files are given
then just a jar file is created. The list of include jars are
added to the classpath when compiling the java sources and also
to the dependencies of the target. INCLUDE_JARS also accepts
other target names created by add_jar. For backwards compatibil‐
ity, jar files listed as sources are ignored (as they have been
since the first version of this module).
The default OUTPUT_DIR can also be changed by setting the vari‐
able CMAKE_JAVA_TARGET_OUTPUT_DIR.
Additional instructions:
To add compile flags to the target you can set these flags with
the following variable:
set(CMAKE_JAVA_COMPILE_FLAGS -nowarn)
To add a path or a jar file to the class path you can do this
with the CMAKE_JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH variable.
set(CMAKE_JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH /usr/share/java/shibboleet.jar)
To use a different output name for the target you can set it with:
add_jar(foobar foobar.java OUTPUT_NAME shibboleet.jar)
To use a different output directory than CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR
you can set it with:
add_jar(foobar foobar.java OUTPUT_DIR ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/bin)
To define an entry point in your jar you can set it with the ENTRY_POINT
named argument:
add_jar(example ENTRY_POINT com/examples/MyProject/Main)
To add a VERSION to the target output name you can set it using
the VERSION named argument to add_jar. This will create a jar file with the
name shibboleet-1.0.0.jar and will create a symlink shibboleet.jar
pointing to the jar with the version information.
add_jar(shibboleet shibbotleet.java VERSION 1.2.0)
If the target is a JNI library, utilize the following commands to
create a JNI symbolic link:
set(CMAKE_JNI_TARGET TRUE)
add_jar(shibboleet shibbotleet.java VERSION 1.2.0)
install_jar(shibboleet ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}/shibboleet)
install_jni_symlink(shibboleet ${JAVA_LIB_INSTALL_DIR})
If a single target needs to produce more than one jar from its
java source code, to prevent the accumulation of duplicate class
files in subsequent jars, set/reset CMAKE_JAR_CLASSES_PREFIX prior
to calling the add_jar() function:
set(CMAKE_JAR_CLASSES_PREFIX com/redhat/foo)
add_jar(foo foo.java)
set(CMAKE_JAR_CLASSES_PREFIX com/redhat/bar)
add_jar(bar bar.java)
Target Properties:
The add_jar() functions sets some target properties. You can get these
properties with the
get_property(TARGET <target_name> PROPERTY <propery_name>)
command.
INSTALL_FILES The files which should be installed. This is used by
install_jar().
JNI_SYMLINK The JNI symlink which should be installed.
This is used by install_jni_symlink().
JAR_FILE The location of the jar file so that you can include
it.
CLASS_DIR The directory where the class files can be found. For
example to use them with javah.
find_jar(<VAR>
name | NAMES name1 [name2 ...]
[PATHS path1 [path2 ... ENV var]]
[VERSIONS version1 [version2]]
[DOC "cache documentation string"]
)
This command is used to find a full path to the named jar. A
cache entry named by <VAR> is created to stor the result of this
command. If the full path to a jar is found the result is stored
in the variable and the search will not repeated unless the
variable is cleared. If nothing is found, the result will be
<VAR>-NOTFOUND, and the search will be attempted again next time
find_jar is invoked with the same variable. The name of the full
path to a file that is searched for is specified by the names
listed after NAMES argument. Additional search locations can be
specified after the PATHS argument. If you require special a
version of a jar file you can specify it with the VERSIONS argu‐
ment. The argument after DOC will be used for the documentation
string in the cache.
install_jar(TARGET_NAME DESTINATION)
This command installs the TARGET_NAME files to the given DESTI‐
NATION. It should be called in the same scope as add_jar() or it
will fail.
install_jni_symlink(TARGET_NAME DESTINATION)
This command installs the TARGET_NAME JNI symlinks to the given
DESTINATION. It should be called in the same scope as add_jar()
or it will fail.
create_javadoc(<VAR>
PACKAGES pkg1 [pkg2 ...]
[SOURCEPATH <sourcepath>]
[CLASSPATH <classpath>]
[INSTALLPATH <install path>]
[DOCTITLE "the documentation title"]
[WINDOWTITLE "the title of the document"]
[AUTHOR TRUE|FALSE]
[USE TRUE|FALSE]
[VERSION TRUE|FALSE]
)
Create java documentation based on files or packages. For more
details please read the javadoc manpage.
There are two main signatures for create_javadoc. The first sig‐
nature works with package names on a path with source files:
Example:
create_javadoc(my_example_doc
PACKAGES com.exmaple.foo com.example.bar
SOURCEPATH "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}"
CLASSPATH ${CMAKE_JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH}
WINDOWTITLE "My example"
DOCTITLE "<h1>My example</h1>"
AUTHOR TRUE
USE TRUE
VERSION TRUE
)
The second signature for create_javadoc works on a given list of
files.
create_javadoc(<VAR>
FILES file1 [file2 ...]
[CLASSPATH <classpath>]
[INSTALLPATH <install path>]
[DOCTITLE "the documentation title"]
[WINDOWTITLE "the title of the document"]
[AUTHOR TRUE|FALSE]
[USE TRUE|FALSE]
[VERSION TRUE|FALSE]
)
Example:
create_javadoc(my_example_doc
FILES ${example_SRCS}
CLASSPATH ${CMAKE_JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH}
WINDOWTITLE "My example"
DOCTITLE "<h1>My example</h1>"
AUTHOR TRUE
USE TRUE
VERSION TRUE
)
Both signatures share most of the options. These options are the
same as what you can find in the javadoc manpage. Please look at
the manpage for CLASSPATH, DOCTITLE, WINDOWTITLE, AUTHOR, USE
and VERSION.
The documentation will be by default installed to
${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/share/javadoc/<VAR>
if you don't set the INSTALLPATH.
UseJavaClassFilelist
This script create a list of compiled Java class files to be
added to a jar file. This avoids including cmake files which get
created in the binary directory.
UseJavaSymlinks
Helper script for UseJava.cmake
UsePkgConfig
Obsolete pkg-config module for CMake, use FindPkgConfig instead.
This module defines the following macro:
PKGCONFIG(package includedir libdir linkflags cflags)
Calling PKGCONFIG will fill the desired information into the 4
given arguments, e.g. PKGCONFIG(libart-2.0 LIBART_INCLUDE_DIR
LIBART_LINK_DIR LIBART_LINK_FLAGS LIBART_CFLAGS) if pkg-config
was NOT found or the specified software package doesn't exist,
the variable will be empty when the function returns, otherwise
they will contain the respective information
UseQt4 Use Module for QT4
Sets up C and C++ to use Qt 4. It is assumed that FindQt.cmake
has already been loaded. See FindQt.cmake for information on
how to load Qt 4 into your CMake project.
UseSWIG
SWIG module for CMake
Defines the following macros:
SWIG_ADD_MODULE(name language [ files ])
- Define swig module with given name and specified language
SWIG_LINK_LIBRARIES(name [ libraries ])
- Link libraries to swig module
All other macros are for internal use only. To get the actual
name of the swig module, use: ${SWIG_MODULE_${name}_REAL_NAME}.
Set Source files properties such as CPLUSPLUS and SWIG_FLAGS to
specify special behavior of SWIG. Also global CMAKE_SWIG_FLAGS
can be used to add special flags to all swig calls. Another spe‐
cial variable is CMAKE_SWIG_OUTDIR, it allows one to specify
where to write all the swig generated module (swig -outdir
option) The name-specific variable SWIG_MODULE_<name>_EXTRA_DEPS
may be used to specify extra dependencies for the generated mod‐
ules. If the source file generated by swig need some special
flag you can use set_source_files_properties( ${swig_gener‐
ated_file_fullname}
PROPERTIES COMPILE_FLAGS "-bla")
Use_wxWindows
---------------------------------------------------
This convenience include finds if wxWindows is installed and set
the appropriate libs, incdirs, flags etc. author Jan Woetzel <jw
-at- mip.informatik.uni-kiel.de> (07/2003) USAGE:
just include Use_wxWindows.cmake
in your projects CMakeLists.txt
include( ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH}/Use_wxWindows.cmake)
if you are sure you need GL then
set(WXWINDOWS_USE_GL 1)
*before* you include this file.
UsewxWidgets
Convenience include for using wxWidgets library.
Determines if wxWidgets was FOUND and sets the appropriate libs,
incdirs, flags, etc. INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and LINK_DIRECTORIES
are called.
USAGE
# Note that for MinGW users the order of libs is important!
find_package(wxWidgets REQUIRED net gl core base)
include(${wxWidgets_USE_FILE})
# and for each of your dependent executable/library targets:
target_link_libraries(<YourTarget> ${wxWidgets_LIBRARIES})
DEPRECATED
LINK_LIBRARIES is not called in favor of adding dependencies per target.

VARIABLESVARIABLES THAT CHANGE BEHAVIOR
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS
Global flag to cause add_library to create shared libraries if
on.
If present and true, this will cause all libraries to be built
shared unless the library was explicitly added as a static
library. This variable is often added to projects as an OPTION
so that each user of a project can decide if they want to build
the project using shared or static libraries.
CMAKE_ABSOLUTE_DESTINATION_FILES
List of files which have been installed using an ABSOLUTE DES‐
TINATION path.
This variable is defined by CMake-generated cmake_install.cmake
scripts. It can be used (read-only) by programs or scripts that
source those install scripts. This is used by some CPack genera‐
tors (e.g. RPM).
CMAKE_AUTOMOC_RELAXED_MODE
Switch between strict and relaxed automoc mode.
By default, automoc behaves exactly as described in the documen‐
tation of the AUTOMOC target property. When set to TRUE, it
accepts more input and tries to find the correct input file for
moc even if it differs from the documented behaviour. In this
mode it e.g. also checks whether a header file is intended to be
processed by moc when a "foo.moc" file has been included.
Relaxed mode has to be enabled for KDE4 compatibility.
CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY
Version of cmake required to build project
From the point of view of backwards compatibility, this speci‐
fies what version of CMake should be supported. By default this
value is the version number of CMake that you are running. You
can set this to an older version of CMake to support deprecated
commands of CMake in projects that were written to use older
versions of CMake. This can be set by the user or set at the
beginning of a CMakeLists file.
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
Specifies the build type on single-configuration generators.
This statically specifies what build type (configuration) will
be built in this build tree. Possible values are empty, Debug,
Release, RelWithDebInfo and MinSizeRel. This variable is only
meaningful to single-configuration generators (such as make and
Ninja) i.e. those which choose a single configuration when CMake
runs to generate a build tree as opposed to multi-configuration
generators which offer selection of the build configuration
within the generated build environment. There are many per-con‐
fig properties and variables (usually following clean
SOME_VAR_<CONFIG> order conventions), such as
CMAKE_C_FLAGS_<CONFIG>, specified as uppercase:
CMAKE_C_FLAGS_[DEBUG|RELEASE|RELWITHDEBINFO|MINSIZEREL]. For
example, in a build tree configured to build type Debug, CMake
will see to having CMAKE_C_FLAGS_DEBUG settings get added to the
CMAKE_C_FLAGS settings. See also CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES.
CMAKE_COLOR_MAKEFILE
Enables color output when using the Makefile generator.
When enabled, the generated Makefiles will produce colored out‐
put. Default is ON.
CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES
Specifies the available build types on multi-config generators.
This specifies what build types (configurations) will be avail‐
able such as Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo etc. This has rea‐
sonable defaults on most platforms, but can be extended to pro‐
vide other build types. See also CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE for details
of managing configuration data, and CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR.
CMAKE_DEBUG_TARGET_PROPERTIES
Enables tracing output for target properties.
This variable can be populated with a list of properties to gen‐
erate debug output for when evaluating target properties. Cur‐
rently it can only be used when evaluating the INCLUDE_DIRECTO‐
RIES, COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and COMPILE_OPTIONS target properties.
In that case, it outputs a backtrace for each entry in the tar‐
get property. Default is unset.
CMAKE_DISABLE_FIND_PACKAGE_<PackageName>
Variable for disabling find_package() calls.
Every non-REQUIRED find_package() call in a project can be dis‐
abled by setting the variable CMAKE_DISABLE_FIND_PACKAGE_<Packa‐
geName> to TRUE. This can be used to build a project without an
optional package, although that package is installed.
This switch should be used during the initial CMake run. Other‐
wise if the package has already been found in a previous CMake
run, the variables which have been stored in the cache will
still be there. In that case it is recommended to remove the
cache variables for this package from the cache using the cache
editor or cmake -U
CMAKE_ERROR_DEPRECATED
Whether to issue deprecation errors for macros and functions.
If TRUE, this can be used by macros and functions to issue fatal
errors when deprecated macros or functions are used. This vari‐
able is FALSE by default.
CMAKE_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION
Ask cmake_install.cmake script to error out as soon as a file
with absolute INSTALL DESTINATION is encountered.
The fatal error is emitted before the installation of the
offending file takes place. This variable is used by CMake-gen‐
erated cmake_install.cmake scripts. If one sets this variable to
ON while running the script, it may get fatal error messages
from the script.
CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_PREFIXES
Prefixes to prepend when looking for libraries.
This specifies what prefixes to add to library names when the
find_library command looks for libraries. On UNIX systems this
is typically lib, meaning that when trying to find the foo
library it will look for libfoo.
CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES
Suffixes to append when looking for libraries.
This specifies what suffixes to add to library names when the
find_library command looks for libraries. On Windows systems
this is typically .lib and .dll, meaning that when trying to
find the foo library it will look for foo.dll etc.
CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_WARN_NO_MODULE
Tell find_package to warn if called without an explicit mode.
If find_package is called without an explicit mode option (MOD‐
ULE, CONFIG or NO_MODULE) and no Find<pkg>.cmake module is in
CMAKE_MODULE_PATH then CMake implicitly assumes that the caller
intends to search for a package configuration file. If no pack‐
age configuration file is found then the wording of the failure
message must account for both the case that the package is
really missing and the case that the project has a bug and
failed to provide the intended Find module. If instead the
caller specifies an explicit mode option then the failure mes‐
sage can be more specific.
Set CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_WARN_NO_MODULE to TRUE to tell find_pack‐
age to warn when it implicitly assumes Config mode. This helps
developers enforce use of an explicit mode in all calls to
find_package within a project.
CMAKE_IGNORE_PATH
Path to be ignored by FIND_XXX() commands.
Specifies directories to be ignored by searches in FIND_XXX()
commands. This is useful in cross-compiled environments where
some system directories contain incompatible but possibly link‐
able libraries. For example, on cross-compiled cluster environ‐
ments, this allows a user to ignore directories containing
libraries meant for the front-end machine that modules like
FindX11 (and others) would normally search. By default this is
empty; it is intended to be set by the project. Note that
CMAKE_IGNORE_PATH takes a list of directory names, NOT a list of
prefixes. If you want to ignore paths under prefixes (bin,
include, lib, etc.), you'll need to specify them explicitly.
See also CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH,
CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH, CMAKE_PROGRAM_PATH.
CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH
Path used for searching by FIND_FILE() and FIND_PATH().
Specifies a path which will be used both by FIND_FILE() and
FIND_PATH(). Both commands will check each of the contained
directories for the existence of the file which is currently
searched. By default it is empty, it is intended to be set by
the project. See also CMAKE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_PATH, CMAKE_PRE‐
FIX_PATH.
CMAKE_INSTALL_DEFAULT_COMPONENT_NAME
Default component used in install() commands.
If an install() command is used without the COMPONENT argument,
these files will be grouped into a default component. The name
of this default install component will be taken from this vari‐
able. It defaults to "Unspecified".
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
Install directory used by install.
If "make install" is invoked or INSTALL is built, this directory
is prepended onto all install directories. This variable
defaults to /usr/local on UNIX and c:/Program Files on Windows.
On UNIX one can use the DESTDIR mechanism in order to relocate
the whole installation. DESTDIR means DESTination DIRectory. It
is commonly used by makefile users in order to install software
at non-default location. It is usually invoked like this:
make DESTDIR=/home/john install
which will install the concerned software using the installation
prefix, e.g. "/usr/local" prepended with the DESTDIR value which
finally gives "/home/john/usr/local".
WARNING: DESTDIR may not be used on Windows because installation
prefix usually contains a drive letter like in "C:/Program
Files" which cannot be prepended with some other prefix.
The installation prefix is also added to CMAKE_SYSTEM_PRE‐
FIX_PATH so that find_package, find_program, find_library,
find_path, and find_file will search the prefix for other soft‐
ware.
CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH
Path used for searching by FIND_LIBRARY().
Specifies a path which will be used by FIND_LIBRARY().
FIND_LIBRARY() will check each of the contained directories for
the existence of the library which is currently searched. By
default it is empty, it is intended to be set by the project.
See also CMAKE_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_PATH, CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH.
CMAKE_MFC_FLAG
Tell cmake to use MFC for an executable or dll.
This can be set in a CMakeLists.txt file and will enable MFC in
the application. It should be set to 1 for the static MFC
library, and 2 for the shared MFC library. This is used in Vis‐
ual Studio 6 and 7 project files. The CMakeSetup dialog used
MFC and the CMakeLists.txt looks like this:
add_definitions(-D_AFXDLL)
set(CMAKE_MFC_FLAG 2)
add_executable(CMakeSetup WIN32 ${SRCS})
CMAKE_MODULE_PATH
List of directories to search for CMake modules.
Commands like include() and find_package() search for files in
directories listed by this variable before checking the default
modules that come with CMake.
CMAKE_NOT_USING_CONFIG_FLAGS
Skip _BUILD_TYPE flags if true.
This is an internal flag used by the generators in CMake to tell
CMake to skip the _BUILD_TYPE flags.
CMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP<NNNN>
Default for CMake Policy CMP<NNNN> when it is otherwise left
unset.
Commands cmake_minimum_required(VERSION) and cmake_policy(VER‐
SION) by default leave policies introduced after the given ver‐
sion unset. Set CMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP<NNNN> to OLD or NEW to
specify the default for policy CMP<NNNN>, where <NNNN> is the
policy number.
This variable should not be set by a project in CMake code; use
cmake_policy(SET) instead. Users running CMake may set this
variable in the cache (e.g. -DCMAKE_POL‐
ICY_DEFAULT_CMP<NNNN>=<OLD|NEW>) to set a policy not otherwise
set by the project. Set to OLD to quiet a policy warning while
using old behavior or to NEW to try building the project with
new behavior.
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
Path used for searching by FIND_XXX(), with appropriate suffixes
added.
Specifies a path which will be used by the FIND_XXX() commands.
It contains the "base" directories, the FIND_XXX() commands
append appropriate subdirectories to the base directories. So
FIND_PROGRAM() adds /bin to each of the directories in the path,
FIND_LIBRARY() appends /lib to each of the directories, and
FIND_PATH() and FIND_FILE() append /include . By default it is
empty, it is intended to be set by the project. See also
CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH, CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH,
CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH, CMAKE_PROGRAM_PATH.
CMAKE_PROGRAM_PATH
Path used for searching by FIND_PROGRAM().
Specifies a path which will be used by FIND_PROGRAM(). FIND_PRO‐
GRAM() will check each of the contained directories for the
existence of the program which is currently searched. By default
it is empty, it is intended to be set by the project. See also
CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROGRAM_PATH, CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH.
CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_ALL_DEPENDENCY
Don't make the install target depend on the all target.
By default, the "install" target depends on the "all" target.
This has the effect, that when "make install" is invoked or
INSTALL is built, first the "all" target is built, then the
installation starts. If CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_ALL_DEPENDENCY is
set to TRUE, this dependency is not created, so the installation
process will start immediately, independent from whether the
project has been completely built or not.
CMAKE_SYSTEM_IGNORE_PATH
Path to be ignored by FIND_XXX() commands.
Specifies directories to be ignored by searches in FIND_XXX()
commands. This is useful in cross-compiled environments where
some system directories contain incompatible but possibly link‐
able libraries. For example, on cross-compiled cluster environ‐
ments, this allows a user to ignore directories containing
libraries meant for the front-end machine that modules like
FindX11 (and others) would normally search. By default this
contains a list of directories containing incompatible binaries
for the host system. See also CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH,
CMAKE_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_PATH, CMAKE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_PATH, and
CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROGRAM_PATH.
CMAKE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_PATH
Path used for searching by FIND_FILE() and FIND_PATH().
Specifies a path which will be used both by FIND_FILE() and
FIND_PATH(). Both commands will check each of the contained
directories for the existence of the file which is currently
searched. By default it contains the standard directories for
the current system. It is NOT intended to be modified by the
project, use CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH for this. See also CMAKE_SYS‐
TEM_PREFIX_PATH.
CMAKE_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_PATH
Path used for searching by FIND_LIBRARY().
Specifies a path which will be used by FIND_LIBRARY().
FIND_LIBRARY() will check each of the contained directories for
the existence of the library which is currently searched. By
default it contains the standard directories for the current
system. It is NOT intended to be modified by the project, use
CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH for this. See also CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH.
CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH
Path used for searching by FIND_XXX(), with appropriate suffixes
added.
Specifies a path which will be used by the FIND_XXX() commands.
It contains the "base" directories, the FIND_XXX() commands
append appropriate subdirectories to the base directories. So
FIND_PROGRAM() adds /bin to each of the directories in the path,
FIND_LIBRARY() appends /lib to each of the directories, and
FIND_PATH() and FIND_FILE() append /include . By default this
contains the standard directories for the current system and the
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. It is NOT intended to be modified by the
project, use CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH for this. See also CMAKE_SYS‐
TEM_INCLUDE_PATH, CMAKE_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_PATH, CMAKE_SYSTEM_PRO‐
GRAM_PATH, and CMAKE_SYSTEM_IGNORE_PATH.
CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROGRAM_PATH
Path used for searching by FIND_PROGRAM().
Specifies a path which will be used by FIND_PROGRAM(). FIND_PRO‐
GRAM() will check each of the contained directories for the
existence of the program which is currently searched. By default
it contains the standard directories for the current system. It
is NOT intended to be modified by the project, use CMAKE_PRO‐
GRAM_PATH for this. See also CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH.
CMAKE_USER_MAKE_RULES_OVERRIDE
Specify a CMake file that overrides platform information.
CMake loads the specified file while enabling support for each
language from either the project() or enable_language() com‐
mands. It is loaded after CMake's builtin compiler and platform
information modules have been loaded but before the information
is used. The file may set platform information variables to
override CMake's defaults.
This feature is intended for use only in overriding information
variables that must be set before CMake builds its first test
project to check that the compiler for a language works. It
should not be used to load a file in cases that a normal
include() will work. Use it only as a last resort for behavior
that cannot be achieved any other way. For example, one may set
CMAKE_C_FLAGS_INIT to change the default value used to initial‐
ize CMAKE_C_FLAGS before it is cached. The override file should
NOT be used to set anything that could be set after languages
are enabled, such as variables like CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIREC‐
TORY that affect the placement of binaries. Information set in
the file will be used for try_compile and try_run builds too.
CMAKE_WARN_DEPRECATED
Whether to issue deprecation warnings for macros and functions.
If TRUE, this can be used by macros and functions to issue dep‐
recation warnings. This variable is FALSE by default.
CMAKE_WARN_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION
Ask cmake_install.cmake script to warn each time a file with
absolute INSTALL DESTINATION is encountered.
This variable is used by CMake-generated cmake_install.cmake
scripts. If one sets this variable to ON while running the
script, it may get warning messages from the script.
VARIABLES THAT DESCRIBE THE SYSTEM
APPLE True if running on Mac OS X.
Set to true on Mac OS X.

The same as CMAKE_SYSTEM but for the host system instead of the
target system when cross compiling.
CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_NAME
Name of the OS CMake is running on.
The same as CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME but for the host system instead of
the target system when cross compiling.
CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR
The name of the CPU CMake is running on.
The same as CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR but for the host system
instead of the target system when cross compiling.
CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_VERSION

CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE
Target architecture library directory name, if detected.
This is the value of CMAKE_<lang>_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE as
detected for one of the enabled languages.
CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE_REGEX
Regex matching possible target architecture library directory
names.
This is used to detect CMAKE_<lang>_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE from
the implicit linker search path by matching the <arch> name.
CMAKE_OBJECT_PATH_MAX
Maximum object file full-path length allowed by native build
tools.
CMake computes for every source file an object file name that is
unique to the source file and deterministic with respect to the
full path to the source file. This allows multiple source files
in a target to share the same name if they lie in different
directories without rebuilding when one is added or removed.
However, it can produce long full paths in a few cases, so CMake
shortens the path using a hashing scheme when the full path to
an object file exceeds a limit. CMake has a built-in limit for
each platform that is sufficient for common tools, but some
native tools may have a lower limit. This variable may be set
to specify the limit explicitly. The value must be an integer
no less than 128.
CMAKE_SYSTEM
Name of system cmake is compiling for.
This variable is the composite of CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME and
CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION, like this ${CMAKE_SYS‐
TEM_NAME}-${CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION}. If CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION is
not set, then CMAKE_SYSTEM is the same as CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME.
CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME
Name of the OS CMake is building for.
This is the name of the operating system on which CMake is tar‐
geting. On systems that have the uname command, this variable
is set to the output of uname -s. Linux, Windows, and Darwin
for Mac OS X are the values found on the big three operating
systems.
CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR
The name of the CPU CMake is building for.
On systems that support uname, this variable is set to the out‐
put of uname -p, on windows it is set to the value of the envi‐
ronment variable PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE
CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION
OS version CMake is building for.
A numeric version string for the system, on systems that support
uname, this variable is set to the output of uname -r. On other
systems this is set to major-minor version numbers.
CYGWIN True for Cygwin.
Set to true when using Cygwin.
ENV Access environment variables.
Use the syntax $ENV{VAR} to read environment variable VAR. See
also the set() command to set ENV{VAR}.

C.
MSVC90 True when using Microsoft Visual C 9.0
Set to true when the compiler is version 9.0 of Microsoft Visual
C.
MSVC_IDE
True when using the Microsoft Visual C IDE
Set to true when the target platform is the Microsoft Visual C
IDE, as opposed to the command line compiler.
MSVC_VERSION
The version of Microsoft Visual C/C++ being used if any.
Known version numbers are:
1200 = VS 6.0
1300 = VS 7.0
1310 = VS 7.1
1400 = VS 8.0
1500 = VS 9.0
1600 = VS 10.0
1700 = VS 11.0

Flags for RelWithDebInfo type or configuration.
<LANG> flags used when CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is RelWithDebInfo.
Short for Release With Debug Information.
CMAKE_<LANG>_IGNORE_EXTENSIONS
File extensions that should be ignored by the build.
This is a list of file extensions that may be part of a project
for a given language but are not compiled.
CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
Directories implicitly searched by the compiler for header
files.
CMake does not explicitly specify these directories on compiler
command lines for language <LANG>. This prevents system include
directories from being treated as user include directories on
some compilers.
CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_LINK_DIRECTORIES
Implicit linker search path detected for language <LANG>.
Compilers typically pass directories containing language runtime
libraries and default library search paths when they invoke a
linker. These paths are implicit linker search directories for
the compiler's language. CMake automatically detects these
directories for each language and reports the results in this
variable.
When a library in one of these directories is given by full path
to target_link_libraries() CMake will generate the -l<name> form
on link lines to ensure the linker searches its implicit direc‐
tories for the library. Note that some toolchains read implicit
directories from an environment variable such as LIBRARY_PATH so
keep its value consistent when operating in a given build tree.
CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_LINK_FRAMEWORK_DIRECTORIES
Implicit linker framework search path detected for language
<LANG>.
These paths are implicit linker framework search directories for
the compiler's language. CMake automatically detects these
directories for each language and reports the results in this
variable.
CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_LINK_LIBRARIES
Implicit link libraries and flags detected for language <LANG>.
Compilers typically pass language runtime library names and
other flags when they invoke a linker. These flags are implicit
link options for the compiler's language. CMake automatically
detects these libraries and flags for each language and reports
the results in this variable.
CMAKE_<LANG>_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE
Target architecture library directory name detected for <lang>.
If the <lang> compiler passes to the linker an architecture-spe‐
cific system library search directory such as <pre‐
fix>/lib/<arch> this variable contains the <arch> name if/as
detected by CMake.
CMAKE_<LANG>_LINKER_PREFERENCE
Preference value for linker language selection.
The "linker language" for executable, shared library, and module
targets is the language whose compiler will invoke the linker.
The LINKER_LANGUAGE target property sets the language explic‐
itly. Otherwise, the linker language is that whose linker pref‐
erence value is highest among languages compiled and linked into
the target. See also the CMAKE_<LANG>_LINKER_PREFERENCE_PROPA‐
GATES variable.
CMAKE_<LANG>_LINKER_PREFERENCE_PROPAGATES
True if CMAKE_<LANG>_LINKER_PREFERENCE propagates across tar‐
gets.
This is used when CMake selects a linker language for a target.
Languages compiled directly into the target are always consid‐
ered. A language compiled into static libraries linked by the
target is considered if this variable is true.
CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_EXECUTABLE
Rule variable to link an executable.
Rule variable to link an executable for the given language.
CMAKE_<LANG>_OUTPUT_EXTENSION
Extension for the output of a compile for a single file.
This is the extension for an object file for the given <LANG>.
For example .obj for C on Windows.
CMAKE_<LANG>_PLATFORM_ID
An internal variable subject to change.
This is used in determining the platform and is subject to
change.
CMAKE_<LANG>_SIZEOF_DATA_PTR
Size of pointer-to-data types for language <LANG>.
This holds the size (in bytes) of pointer-to-data types in the
target platform ABI. It is defined for languages C and CXX
(C++).
CMAKE_<LANG>_SOURCE_FILE_EXTENSIONS
Extensions of source files for the given language.
This is the list of extensions for a given language's source
files.
CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNU<LANG>
True if the compiler is GNU.
If the selected <LANG> compiler is the GNU compiler then this is
TRUE, if not it is FALSE. Unlike the other per-language vari‐
ables, this uses the GNU syntax for identifying languages
instead of the CMake syntax. Recognized values of the <LANG>
suffix are:
CC = C compiler
CXX = C++ compiler
G77 = Fortran compiler
CMAKE_Fortran_MODDIR_DEFAULT
Fortran default module output directory.
Most Fortran compilers write .mod files to the current working
directory. For those that do not, this is set to "." and used
when the Fortran_MODULE_DIRECTORY target property is not set.
CMAKE_Fortran_MODDIR_FLAG
Fortran flag for module output directory.
This stores the flag needed to pass the value of the For‐
tran_MODULE_DIRECTORY target property to the compiler.
CMAKE_Fortran_MODOUT_FLAG
Fortran flag to enable module output.
Most Fortran compilers write .mod files out by default. For
others, this stores the flag needed to enable module output.
CMAKE_INTERNAL_PLATFORM_ABI
An internal variable subject to change.
This is used in determining the compiler ABI and is subject to
change.
CMAKE_USER_MAKE_RULES_OVERRIDE_<LANG>
Specify a CMake file that overrides platform information for
<LANG>.
This is a language-specific version of
CMAKE_USER_MAKE_RULES_OVERRIDE loaded only when enabling lan‐
guage <LANG>.
VARIABLES THAT CONTROL THE BUILD
CMAKE_<CONFIG>_POSTFIX

FIG>.
When a non-executable target is created its <CONFIG>_POSTFIX
target property is initialized with the value of this variable
if it is set.
CMAKE_<LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET
Default value for <LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET of targets.
This variable is used to initialize the <LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET
property on all the targets. See that target property for addi‐
tional information.
CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
Where to put all the ARCHIVE targets when built.
This variable is used to initialize the ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
property on all the targets. See that target property for addi‐
tional information.
CMAKE_AUTOMOC
Whether to handle moc automatically for Qt targets.
This variable is used to initialize the AUTOMOC property on all
the targets. See that target property for additional informa‐
tion.
CMAKE_AUTOMOC_MOC_OPTIONS
Additional options for moc when using automoc (see CMAKE_AUTO‐
MOC).
This variable is used to initialize the AUTOMOC_MOC_OPTIONS
property on all the targets. See that target property for addi‐
tional information.
CMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH
Use the install path for the RPATH
Normally CMake uses the build tree for the RPATH when building
executables etc on systems that use RPATH. When the software is
installed the executables etc are relinked by CMake to have the
install RPATH. If this variable is set to true then the software
is always built with the install path for the RPATH and does not
need to be relinked when installed.
CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX
See variable CMAKE_<CONFIG>_POSTFIX.
This variable is a special case of the more-general CMAKE_<CON‐
FIG>_POSTFIX variable for the DEBUG configuration.
CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS
Linker flags to be used to create executables.
These flags will be used by the linker when creating an exe‐
cutable.
CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_<CONFIG>

This variable is used to initialize the GNUtoMS property on tar‐
gets when they are created. See that target property for addi‐
tional information.
CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR
Automatically add the current source- and build directories to
the include path.
If this variable is enabled, CMake automatically adds in each
directory ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} and ${CMAKE_CUR‐
RENT_BINARY_DIR} to the include path for this directory. These
additional include directories do not propagate down to subdi‐
rectories. This is useful mainly for out-of-source builds, where
files generated into the build tree are included by files
located in the source tree.
By default CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR is OFF.
CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR_IN_INTERFACE
Automatically add the current source- and build directories to
the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES.
If this variable is enabled, CMake automatically adds for each
shared library target, static library target, module target and
executable target, ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} and ${CMAKE_CUR‐
RENT_BINARY_DIR} to the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES.By default
CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR_IN_INTERFACE is OFF.
CMAKE_INSTALL_NAME_DIR
Mac OS X directory name for installed targets.
CMAKE_INSTALL_NAME_DIR is used to initialize the
INSTALL_NAME_DIR property on all targets. See that target prop‐
erty for more information.
CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH
The rpath to use for installed targets.
A semicolon-separated list specifying the rpath to use in
installed targets (for platforms that support it). This is used
to initialize the target property INSTALL_RPATH for all targets.
CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH
Add paths to linker search and installed rpath.
CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH is a boolean that if set to
true will append directories in the linker search path and out‐
side the project to the INSTALL_RPATH. This is used to initial‐
ize the target property INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH for all tar‐
gets.
CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
Where to put all the LIBRARY targets when built.
This variable is used to initialize the LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
property on all the targets. See that target property for addi‐
tional information.
CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH_FLAG
The flag to be used to add a library search path to a compiler.
The flag will be used to specify a library directory to the com‐
piler. On most compilers this is "-L".
CMAKE_LINK_DEF_FILE_FLAG
Linker flag to be used to specify a .def file for dll creation.
The flag will be used to add a .def file when creating a dll on
Windows; this is only defined on Windows.
CMAKE_LINK_DEPENDS_NO_SHARED
Whether to skip link dependencies on shared library files.
This variable initializes the LINK_DEPENDS_NO_SHARED property on
targets when they are created. See that target property for
additional information.
CMAKE_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES
Default value for LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES of targets.
This variable is used to initialize the LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES
property on all the targets. See that target property for addi‐
tional information.
CMAKE_LINK_LIBRARY_FILE_FLAG

file.
The flag will be used before a library file path is given to the
linker. This is needed only on very few platforms.
CMAKE_LINK_LIBRARY_FLAG
Flag to be used to link a library into an executable.
The flag will be used to specify a library to link to an exe‐
cutable. On most compilers this is "-l".
CMAKE_MACOSX_BUNDLE
Default value for MACOSX_BUNDLE of targets.
This variable is used to initialize the MACOSX_BUNDLE property
on all the targets. See that target property for additional
information.
CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS
Linker flags to be used to create modules.
These flags will be used by the linker when creating a module.
CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS_<CONFIG>
Flags to be used when linking a module.
Same as CMAKE_C_FLAGS_* but used by the linker when creating
modules.
CMAKE_NO_BUILTIN_CHRPATH
Do not use the builtin ELF editor to fix RPATHs on installation.
When an ELF binary needs to have a different RPATH after instal‐
lation than it does in the build tree, CMake uses a builtin edi‐
tor to change the RPATH in the installed copy. If this variable
is set to true then CMake will relink the binary before instal‐
lation instead of using its builtin editor.
CMAKE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
Where to put all the MS debug symbol files from linker.
This variable is used to initialize the PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
property on all the targets. See that target property for addi‐
tional information.
CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE

Flags to be used when linking a shared library.
Same as CMAKE_C_FLAGS_* but used by the linker when creating
shared libraries.
CMAKE_SKIP_BUILD_RPATH
Do not include RPATHs in the build tree.
Normally CMake uses the build tree for the RPATH when building
executables etc on systems that use RPATH. When the software is
installed the executables etc are relinked by CMake to have the
install RPATH. If this variable is set to true then the software
is always built with no RPATH.
CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH
Do not include RPATHs in the install tree.
Normally CMake uses the build tree for the RPATH when building
executables etc on systems that use RPATH. When the software is
installed the executables etc are relinked by CMake to have the
install RPATH. If this variable is set to true then the software
is always installed without RPATH, even if RPATH is enabled when
building. This can be useful for example to allow running tests
from the build directory with RPATH enabled before the installa‐
tion step. To omit RPATH in both the build and install steps,
use CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH instead.
CMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS
Linker flags to be used to create static libraries.
These flags will be used by the linker when creating a static
library.
CMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS_<CONFIG>
Flags to be used when linking a static library.
Same as CMAKE_C_FLAGS_* but used by the linker when creating
static libraries.
CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_CONFIGURATION
Build configuration used for try_compile and try_run projects.
Projects built by try_compile and try_run are built syn‐
chronously during the CMake configuration step. Therefore a
specific build configuration must be chosen even if the gener‐
ated build system supports multiple configurations.
CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS
Use relative paths (May not work!).
If this is set to TRUE, then CMake will use relative paths
between the source and binary tree. This option does not work
for more complicated projects, and relative paths are used when
possible. In general, it is not possible to move CMake gener‐
ated makefiles to a different location regardless of the value
of this variable.
CMAKE_VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN
Default value for VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN of targets.
This variable is used to initialize the VISIBILITY_INLINES_HID‐
DEN property on all the targets. See that target property for
additional information.
CMAKE_WIN32_EXECUTABLE
Default value for WIN32_EXECUTABLE of targets.
This variable is used to initialize the WIN32_EXECUTABLE prop‐
erty on all the targets. See that target property for addi‐
tional information.
EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH
Old executable location variable.
The target property RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY supercedes this
variable for a target if it is set. Executable targets are oth‐
erwise placed in this directory.
LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH
Old library location variable.
The target properties ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, LIBRARY_OUT‐
PUT_DIRECTORY, and RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY supercede this vari‐
able for a target if they are set. Library targets are other‐
wise placed in this directory.
VARIABLES THAT PROVIDE INFORMATION
CMAKE_AR
Name of archiving tool for static libraries.
This specifies the name of the program that creates archive or
static libraries.
CMAKE_ARGC
Number of command line arguments passed to CMake in script mode.
When run in -P script mode, CMake sets this variable to the num‐
ber of command line arguments. See also CMAKE_ARGV0, 1, 2 ...
CMAKE_ARGV0
Command line argument passed to CMake in script mode.
When run in -P script mode, CMake sets this variable to the
first command line argument. It then also sets CMAKE_ARGV1,
CMAKE_ARGV2, ... and so on, up to the number of command line
arguments given. See also CMAKE_ARGC.
CMAKE_BINARY_DIR
The path to the top level of the build tree.
This is the full path to the top level of the current CMake
build tree. For an in-source build, this would be the same as
CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR.
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL
Tool used for the actual build process.
This variable is set to the program that will be needed to build
the output of CMake. If the generator selected was Visual Stu‐
dio 6, the CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL will be set to msdev, for Unix Make‐
files it will be set to make or gmake, and for Visual Studio 7
it set to devenv. For NMake Makefiles the value is nmake. This
can be useful for adding special flags and commands based on the
final build environment.
CMAKE_CACHEFILE_DIR
The directory with the CMakeCache.txt file.
This is the full path to the directory that has the CMake‐
Cache.txt file in it. This is the same as CMAKE_BINARY_DIR.
CMAKE_CACHE_MAJOR_VERSION
Major version of CMake used to create the CMakeCache.txt file
This stores the major version of CMake used to write a CMake
cache file. It is only different when a different version of
CMake is run on a previously created cache file.
CMAKE_CACHE_MINOR_VERSION
Minor version of CMake used to create the CMakeCache.txt file
This stores the minor version of CMake used to write a CMake
cache file. It is only different when a different version of
CMake is run on a previously created cache file.
CMAKE_CACHE_PATCH_VERSION
Patch version of CMake used to create the CMakeCache.txt file
This stores the patch version of CMake used to write a CMake
cache file. It is only different when a different version of
CMake is run on a previously created cache file.
CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR
Build-time reference to per-configuration output subdirectory.
For native build systems supporting multiple configurations in
the build tree (such as Visual Studio and Xcode), the value is a
reference to a build-time variable specifying the name of the
per-configuration output subdirectory. On Makefile generators
this evaluates to "." because there is only one configuration in
a build tree. Example values:
$(IntDir) = Visual Studio 6
$(OutDir) = Visual Studio 7, 8, 9
$(Configuration) = Visual Studio 10
$(CONFIGURATION) = Xcode
. = Make-based tools
Since these values are evaluated by the native build system,
this variable is suitable only for use in command lines that
will be evaluated at build time. Example of intended usage:
add_executable(mytool mytool.c)
add_custom_command(
OUTPUT out.txt
COMMAND ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/mytool
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/in.txt out.txt
DEPENDS mytool in.txt
)
add_custom_target(drive ALL DEPENDS out.txt)
Note that CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR is no longer necessary for this pur‐
pose but has been left for compatibility with existing projects.
Instead add_custom_command() recognizes executable target names
in its COMMAND option, so "${CMAKE_CUR‐
RENT_BINARY_DIR}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/mytool" can be replaced by
just "mytool".
This variable is read-only. Setting it is undefined behavior.
In multi-configuration build systems the value of this variable
is passed as the value of preprocessor symbol "CMAKE_INTDIR" to
the compilation of all source files.
CMAKE_COMMAND
The full path to the cmake executable.
This is the full path to the CMake executable cmake which is
useful from custom commands that want to use the cmake -E option
for portable system commands. (e.g. /usr/local/bin/cmake
CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING
Is CMake currently cross compiling.
This variable will be set to true by CMake if CMake is cross
compiling. Specifically if the build platform is different from
the target platform.
CMAKE_CTEST_COMMAND
Full path to ctest command installed with cmake.
This is the full path to the CTest executable ctest which is
useful from custom commands that want to use the cmake -E option
for portable system commands.
CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR
The path to the binary directory currently being processed.
This the full path to the build directory that is currently
being processed by cmake. Each directory added by add_subdirec‐
tory will create a binary directory in the build tree, and as it
is being processed this variable will be set. For in-source
builds this is the current source directory being processed.
CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR
Full directory of the listfile currently being processed.
As CMake processes the listfiles in your project this variable
will always be set to the directory where the listfile which is
currently being processed (CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_FILE) is located.
The value has dynamic scope. When CMake starts processing com‐
mands in a source file it sets this variable to the directory
where this file is located. When CMake finishes processing com‐
mands from the file it restores the previous value. Therefore
the value of the variable inside a macro or function is the
directory of the file invoking the bottom-most entry on the call
stack, not the directory of the file containing the macro or
function definition.
See also CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_FILE.
CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_FILE
Full path to the listfile currently being processed.
As CMake processes the listfiles in your project this variable
will always be set to the one currently being processed. The
value has dynamic scope. When CMake starts processing commands
in a source file it sets this variable to the location of the
file. When CMake finishes processing commands from the file it
restores the previous value. Therefore the value of the vari‐
able inside a macro or function is the file invoking the bot‐
tom-most entry on the call stack, not the file containing the
macro or function definition.
See also CMAKE_PARENT_LIST_FILE.
CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_LINE
The line number of the current file being processed.
This is the line number of the file currently being processed by
cmake.
CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR
The path to the source directory currently being processed.
This the full path to the source directory that is currently
being processed by cmake.
CMAKE_DL_LIBS
Name of library containing dlopen and dlcose.
The name of the library that has dlopen and dlclose in it, usu‐
ally -ldl on most UNIX machines.
CMAKE_EDIT_COMMAND
Full path to cmake-gui or ccmake.
This is the full path to the CMake executable that can graphi‐
cally edit the cache. For example, cmake-gui, ccmake, or cmake
-i.
CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX

CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX_<LANG> overrides this for language
<LANG>.
CMAKE_EXTRA_GENERATOR
The extra generator used to build the project.
When using the Eclipse, CodeBlocks or KDevelop generators, CMake
generates Makefiles (CMAKE_GENERATOR) and additionally project
files for the respective IDE. This IDE project file generator is
stored in CMAKE_EXTRA_GENERATOR (e.g. "Eclipse CDT4").
CMAKE_EXTRA_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES
Additional suffixes for shared libraries.

CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX, if any. CMake uses this to recog‐
nize external shared library files during analysis of libraries
linked by a target.

The generator used to build the project.
The name of the generator that is being used to generate the
build files. (e.g. "Unix Makefiles", "Visual Studio 6", etc.)

Native build system toolset name specified by user.
Some CMake generators support a toolset name to be given to the
native build system to choose a compiler. If the user specifies
a toolset name (e.g. via the cmake -T option) the value will be
available in this variable.

determined by a try compile. If a 64 bit size is found, then the
library search path is modified to look for 64 bit libraries
first.
CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH
If true, do not add run time path information.
If this is set to TRUE, then the rpath information is not added
to compiled executables. The default is to add rpath informa‐
tion if the platform supports it. This allows for easy running
from the build tree. To omit RPATH in the install step, but not
the build step, use CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH instead.
CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR
The path to the top level of the source tree.
This is the full path to the top level of the current CMake
source tree. For an in-source build, this would be the same as
CMAKE_BINARY_DIR.
CMAKE_STANDARD_LIBRARIES

mat.
This specifies the full version of the CMake executable being
run. This variable is defined by versions 2.6.3 and higher.
See variables CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION, CMAKE_MINOR_VERSION,

CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_TOOLSET
Visual Studio Platform Toolset name.
VS 10 and above use MSBuild under the hood and support multiple
compiler toolchains. CMake may specify a toolset explicitly,
such as "v110" for VS 11 or "Windows7.1SDK" for 64-bit support
in VS 10 Express. CMake provides the name of the chosen toolset
in this variable.
CMAKE_XCODE_PLATFORM_TOOLSET
Xcode compiler selection.
Xcode supports selection of a compiler from one of the installed
toolsets. CMake provides the name of the chosen toolset in this
variable, if any is explicitly selected (e.g. via the cmake -T
option).

ful when SUBDIR is used to connect several projects.
[Project name]_SOURCE_DIR
Top level source directory for the named project.
A variable is created with the name used in the PROJECT command,
and is the source directory for the project. This can be use‐
ful when add_subdirectory is used to connect several projects.
