.. cmake-manual-description: CMake GUI Command-Line Reference cmake-gui(1) ************ Synopsis ======== .. parsed-literal:: cmake-gui [<options>] cmake-gui [<options>] {<path-to-source> | <path-to-existing-build>} cmake-gui [<options>] -S <path-to-source> -B <path-to-build> Description =========== The **cmake-gui** executable is the CMake GUI. Project configuration settings may be specified interactively. Brief instructions are provided 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 ======= ``-S <path-to-source>`` Path to root directory of the CMake project to build. ``-B <path-to-build>`` Path to directory which CMake will use as the root of build directory. If the directory doesn't already exist CMake will make it. .. include:: OPTIONS_HELP.txt See Also ======== .. include:: LINKS.txt
