Makefile equivalent in CMake
cmake
Solution
I just converted my project (~15000 lines of C++ code, builds shared libraries, unit tests, and executables) to CMake from scons a couple of weeks ago, and it only took a day or two to do.
One thing I found helpful was that the Boost project now has experimental support for CMake rather than bjam. Looking through their code (specifically, the macros defined in `tools/build/CMake`) taught me a lot about some of the syntax and capabilities of CMake.
Also useful:
- The official CMake FAQ
- The online CMake documentation
- A simple CMake tutorial
- A quick overview of the language/syntax
Hope this helps.
Problem
I have just started using CMake and it has been less than a week. I have a Makefile written and I am trying to write its equivalent in CMake. I don't have an idea about the commands that I should use in CMake for each of the statements in the given Makefile. How do I get started? Is there some place I can find documentation for this?
