CMake

CMake is an extensible, open-source system that manages the build process in an operating system and in a compiler-independent manner. Unlike many cross-platform systems, CMake is designed to be used in conjunction with the native build environment. Simple configuration files placed in each source directory (called CMakeLists.txt files) are used to generate standard build files (e.g., makefiles on Unix and projects/workspaces in Windows MSVC) which are used in the usual way. CMake can generate a native build environment that will compile source code, create libraries, generate wrappers and build executables in arbitrary combinations. CMake supports in-place and out-of-place builds, and can therefore support multiple builds from a single source tree. CMake also supports static and dynamic library builds. Another nice feature of CMake is that it generates a cache file that is designed to be used with a graphical editor. For example, when CMake runs, it locates files, libraries, and executables, and may encounter optional build directives. This information is gathered into the cache, which may be changed by the user prior to the generation of the native build files.

CMake 下使用 protobuf

protobuf是google开发的一个序列化和反序列化的库,通过.proto文件定义文件格式,序列化后的数据是binary的,可以在多语言上使用.一般情况下,若客户端和服务端都是自己做的,用protobuf作为通讯协议,无疑是一个不错的选择.

个人一般喜欢用CMake来管理c++工程.那么,cmake下使用protobuf对个人而言是个很重要的事情. (more…)

Cmake 2.8 以上 OSX RPath的支持

在mac某机器中cmake生成makefile文件的时候，发现提示如下:

....
CMake Warning (dev):
  Policy CMP0042 is not set: MACOSX_RPATH is enabled by default.  Run "cmake
  --help-policy CMP0042" for policy details.  Use the cmake_policy command to
  set the policy and suppress this warning.

  MACOSX_RPATH is not specified for the following targets:

   cjson
   iniparser
   stemmer
   word2vec

This warning is for project developers.  Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

-- Generating done
