Additionally this sets the variables +<projectName>_BINARY_DIR and <projectName>_SOURCE_DIR to the +respective values. + +Optionally you can specify which languages your project supports. +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). |
