Project +configuration settings may be specified interactively through this +GUI. Brief instructions are provided at the bottom of the terminal +when the program is running. + +CMake is a cross-platform build system generator. Projects specify +their build process with platform-independent CMake listfiles included +in each directory of a source tree with the name CMakeLists.txt. +Users build a project by using CMake to generate a build system for a +native tool on their platform. + + +* ``-C <initial-cache>``: Pre-load a script to populate the cache. + + When cmake is first run in an empty build tree, it creates a + CMakeCache.txt file and populates it with customizable settings for + the project. This option may be used to specify a file from which + to load cache entries before the first pass through the project's + cmake listfiles. The loaded entries take priority over the + project's default values. The given file should be a CMake script + containing SET commands that use the CACHE option, not a + cache-format file. + +* ``-D <var>:<type>=<value>``: Create a cmake cache entry. + + When cmake is first run in an empty build tree, it creates a + CMakeCache.txt file and populates it with customizable settings for + the project. This option may be used to specify a setting that + takes priority over the project's default value. The option may be + repeated for as many cache entries as desired. + +* ``-U <globbing_expr>``: Remove matching entries from CMake cache. + + This option may be used to remove one or more variables from the + CMakeCache.txt file, globbing expressions using * and ? are + supported. The option may be repeated for as many cache entries as + desired. + + Use with care, you can make your CMakeCache.txt non-working. + +* ``-G <generator-name>``: Specify a build system generator. + + CMake may support multiple native build systems on certain + platforms. A generator is responsible for generating a particular + build system. Possible generator names are specified in the + Generators section. + +* ``-T <toolset-name>``: Specify toolset name if supported by generator. + + Some CMake generators support a toolset name to be given to the + native build system to choose a compiler. This is supported only on + specific generators: + + :: + + Visual Studio >= 10 + Xcode >= 3.0 + + See native build system documentation for allowed toolset names. + +* ``-Wno-dev``: Suppress developer warnings. + + Suppress warnings that are meant for the author of the + CMakeLists.txt files. + +* ``-Wdev``: Enable developer warnings. + + Enable warnings that are meant for the author of the CMakeLists.txt + files. + +* ``--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. +:: + + CMake Properties - Properties supported by CMake, the Cross-Platform Makefile Generator. + +This is the documentation for the properties supported by CMake. +Properties 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 customized. + +Copyright 2000-2012 Kitware, Inc., Insight Software Consortium.
