# CMake
|
|
|
|
CMake is an open-source, cross-platform family of tools designed to build, test and package software. CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files, and generate native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice.

## CMake in Cocos2d-x
|
|
|
|
1. CMake in Cocos2d-x support platform iOS, Android, macOS, Linux, Win32.
|
|
|
|
1. Open your terminal, input `cmake --version`, if the cmake version is lower than 3.1, please upgrade
|
|
|
|
2. You should use out-of-source build, that is said you need to create a different directory from `$cocos2dx_root` to execute cmake command.
|
|
|
|
## Build Options
|
|
|
|
### CMake Common
|
|
|
|
1. __`-G`__, generate native build project you specified, for example
|
|
|
|
* `-GXcode` generate Xcode project files.
|
|
* `-GVisual Studio 15 2017` generate Visual Studio 2017 project, the default toolset is v141, add `-T` option to specify toolset, like this `-Tv140`
|
|
|
|
1. __`CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`__, specify the build mode, Debug or Release
|
|
|
|
* `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release` to generate the Release mode project, the default build mode is Debug
|
|
|
|
1. __`-H -B`__, `-H` specify the CMake project Home directory, `-B` specify CMake-generated project binary directory. for example
|
|
|
|
* `-H..\cocos2d-x -Bmsvc_build` the generated native project's location will be `msvc_build` directory.
|
|
|
|
1. __`--build <dir>`__, build a CMake-generated project binary tree, for example
|
|
|
|
* `cmake --build ./msvc_build`, cmake will sellect corresponding build tools.
|
|
|
|
### Cocos2d-x Options
|
|
|
|
1. __`GEN_COCOS_PREBUILT`__, control the project have the feature to generate pre-build libraries or not. Default value is `OFF`
|
|
|
|
* `-DGEN_COCOS_PREBUILT=ON`, will add target prebuilt, build this target will generate prebuilt libraries
|
|
|
|
1. __`USE_COCOS_PREBUILT`__, control the project have the feature to use pre-build libraries or not. Default value is `OFF`
|
|
|
|
* `-DUSE_COCOS_PREBUILT=ON`, will disable libraries target, and make app target use prebuilt libraries
|
|
|
|
1. __`COCOS_PREBUILT_ROOT`__, a path means the prebuilt libraries root location, it's not optional for Android Project on Android Studio, optional for other supported platforms. the default value is $cocos2dx_root/prebuilt if the cmake can access to cocos2d-x environment variable. for example
|
|
|
|
* `arguments "-DCOCOS_PREBUILT_ROOT=/Users/laptop/cocos-prebuilt"` set this value on [app/build.gradle](./../tests/cpp-empty-test/proj.android/app/build.gradle)
|
|
|
|
1. Any options in [SelectModule.cmake](./Modules/SelectModule.cmake) can be set manually. Do it if you know what you're doing.
|
|
|
|
## Build Examples
|
|
|
|
### build specified target in Linux
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
mkdir linux-build
|
|
cd linux-build
|
|
cmake $cocos2dx_root
|
|
make cpp_empty_test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
execute `make help` in generated make project to see all build targets
|
|
|
|
### MSVC build on Terminal or Visual Studio
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cmake -H"..\cocos2d-x\" -Bmsvc_build -G"Visual Studio 15 2017" -Tv141 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
execute `cmake --build ./msvc_build` or open `Cocos2d-x.sln` in Explorer to use the generated native project.
|
|
|
|
### using CMake in Android Studio
|
|
|
|
see the Gradle properties: `PROP_NDK_MODE`, it control the way of native build
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# android cmake support
|
|
# uncomment it, native code will build by cmake
|
|
# keep comment, native code will build by ndkBuild
|
|
PROP_NDK_MODE=cmake
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
add cmake arguments in `externalNativeBuild/cmake` block of [app/build.gradle](./../tests/cpp-empty-test/proj.android/app/build.gradle) file.
|
|
|
|
### Generate Xcode macOS Project
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cmake -H$COCOS_TEMPLATES_ROOT/.. -Bbuild_mac -GXcode
|
|
cd build_mac
|
|
open Cocos2d-x.xcodeproj
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Generate Xcode iOS Project
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd build_ios
|
|
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$COCOS_TEMPLATES_ROOT/../cmake/ios.toolchain.cmake -DIOS_PLATFORM=SIMULATOR64 -H$COCOS_TEMPLATES_ROOT/.. -Bbuild_ios_sim64 -GXcode
|
|
cd build_ios_sim64
|
|
open Cocos2d-x.xcodeproj
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## TODO
|
|
|
|
1. better support package iOS/MacOS App
|
|
1. improve and refactor
|
|
1. support MinGW on Windows
|
|
|
|
## Issues
|
|
|
|
1. info.plist always been generated when `cmake -GXcode`, it's bad friendly to custom info.plist |
