Many pages are now **DEPRECATED** and sometimes even considered bad
|
|
|
practice. Those are only kept as reference for previous CMake versions.

The documentation for the latest version is available here:

**User Contributed Macros**
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Find Modules
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although CMake comes with a whole bunch of FindXXX packages, there is a
|
|
|
large number of packages there are not covered. The hope is that these
|
|
|
user-contributed macros will eventually make their way into the official
|
|
|
distribution. Before contributing, please have your FindXXX package
|
|
|
conform to the [CMake Module
|
|
|
Guidelines](http://www.cmake.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Modules/readme.txt?root=CMake&view=markup).

## Comprehensive Collection of CMake functions/macros
|
|
|
|
|
|
For CMake 2.8.7 and higher. More complex build scripts might need a
|
|
|
larger toolset than is provided by CMake. Here is a tested collection of
|
|
|
over 500 CMake functions which you can easily download and use by just
|
|
|
including a single file in your CMakeLists.txt.

## Make Equivalents
|
|
|
|
|
|
While attempting to convert a gnu makefile to Cmake, there was a need to
|
|
|
provide some macros to provide equivalent functionality.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. [FILTER_OUT (filter-out)](CMakeMacroFilterOut "wikilink")
|
|
|
2. [CREATE_LIBTOOL_FILE (create a libtool archive
|
|
|
file)](CMakeMacroLibtoolFile "wikilink")
|

|
## Some helpers along the way
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. [COPY_IF_DIFFERENT](CMakeCopyIfDifferent "wikilink")
|
|
|
2. [MERGE](CMakeMacroMerge "wikilink") --- Merges two sorted lists into
|
|
|
a single sorted list. Useful to keep source and header files next to
|
|
|
each other.
|
|
|
3. [CREATE_FINAL_FILE](CMakeMacroCreateFinalFile "wikilink") --
|
|
|
create a KDE style final file, which includes all source files, so
|
|
|
that the compilation will be noticable faster.
|
|
|
4. [List Operations](CMakeMacroListOperations "wikilink") -- A
|
|
|
compilation of some helpful list operations.
|
|
|
5. [PARSE_ARGUMENTS](CMakeMacroParseArguments "wikilink") -- A macro
|
|
|
to help parse arguments for other macros.
|
|
|
6. [ADD_CXXTEST](CMakeMacroAddCxxTest "wikilink") -- A macro to add
|
|
|
tests written the CxxTest testing framework.
|
|
|
7. [Force Flags](CMakeMacroForceAddFlags "wikilink") -- A macro to
|
|
|
force certain arguments for specified flag (similar to a set union).
|
|
|
8. [Test Inline](CMakeTestInline "wikilink") -- A test for how your
|
|
|
compiler defines inline.
|
|
|
9. [COMPARE_VERSION_STRINGS](CMakeCompareVersionStrings "wikilink")
|
|
|
-- A macro to help compare arbitrary version strings for less than,
|
|
|
equal to, and greater than.

## Visual Studio generator helpers
|
|
|
|
|
|
When generating Visual Studio projects, the priorities can be sometimes
|
|
|
different than for other generators. These are some VS-specific (and
|
|
|
sometimes not-so-specific) macros that could help you generate better VS
|
|
|
projects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. [GatherProjectFiles](CMakeMacroGatherProjectFiles "wikilink") --
|
|
|
create and cache a list of project files by recursively globbing a
|
|
|
directory structure
|
|
|
2. [GenerateProject](CMakeMacroGenerateProject "wikilink") -- creates a
|
|
|
VS project with subgroups that mimic the directory structure
