You aren’t meant to submit the generated build pipeline to source control, as it usually contains paths that are hardcoded to the local filesystem. (You can, and will, re-run CMake several times on the same binary folder.) Cache variables include user-configurable options defined by the project such as CMakeDemo’s DEMO_ENABLE_MULTISAMPLE option (explained later), and precomputed information to help speed up CMake runs. This is where cache variables are stored. ![]() It’s a single text file in the binary folder named CMakeCache.txt. You can even create several binary folders, side-by-side, that use different build systems or configuration options. A common practice is to create a subdirectory build beneath CMakeLists.txt.īy keeping the binary folder separate from the source, you can delete the binary folder at any time to get back to a clean slate. You can create the binary folder anywhere you want. The binary folder is where CMake generates the build pipeline. ![]() The source folder is the one containing CMakeLists.txt. To generate a build pipeline, CMake needs to know the source and binary folders. A build pipeline might be a Visual Studio. The Source and Binary FoldersĬMake generates build pipelines. You can also install it through MacPorts, Homebrew, Cygwin or MSYS2. In Unix-like environments, including Linux, it’s usually available through the system package manager. ![]() If you don’t have CMake yet, there are installers and binary distributions on the CMake website. However, I recommend reading the first two sections first. The information here applies to any CMake-based project, so feel free to skip ahead to any section.
