# CMake Guide
|
|
|
|
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 generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice.
|
|
|
|
## Requirement
|
|
|
|
1. Open your terminal and execute:
|
|
```sh
|
|
cmake --version
|
|
```
|
|
if the CMake version is lower than 3.6, please upgrade.
|
|
|
|
2. You should use __out-of-source__ builds, this means you need to create a different directory than __cocos-re__ to execute the `cmake` command.
|
|
|
|
## Step by Step
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd engine-x
|
|
mkdir linux-build && cd linux-build
|
|
cmake ..
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Execute `make help` to see all build targets, `make <target>` build specified target
|
|
|
|
### Generate Visual Studio projects
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd engine-x
|
|
mkdir win32-build && cd win32-build
|
|
cmake .. -G"Visual Studio 16 2019"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Execute `cmake --build .` to compile,
|
|
```
|
|
cmake --build . --config Debug
|
|
cmake --build . --config Release
|
|
```
|
|
or open __cocos-re.sln__ in Explorer to use the generated project.
|
|
|
|
### Generate macOS Project
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd engine-x
|
|
mkdir mac-build && cd mac-build
|
|
cmake .. -GXcode
|
|
open engine-x.xcodeproj
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Generate iOS Project
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd engine-x
|
|
mkdir ios-build && cd ios-build
|
|
cmake .. -GXcode -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=cmake/ios.mini.cmake
|
|
open engine-x.xcodeproj
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### How do I customize the generated Xcode project?
|
|
|
|
Xcode project settings that you want to affect both the app project and the engine-x library project should be passed on the command
|
|
line when invoking `cmake`.
|
|
|
|
Xcode project settings that you want to affect the app project only shoudl be put into the its `CMakeLists.txt` file.
|
|
|
|
Any Xcode Build Setting can be changed by setting `CMAKE_XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_XXX` where `XXX` is the name found within the Xcode Build
|
|
Settings page of the target. The following image shows the name of the iOS Deployment Target:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cocos also provides the function `set_xcode_property()` to make this easier to set from within a `CMakeLists.txt` file, where only
|
|
the `XXX` part needed to be specified:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
set_xcode_property(${APP_NAME} XXX "Value")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Deployment Target
|
|
|
|
As explained above, pass this on the command line so both the app the engine-x are built using the same version:
|
|
|
|
For iOS pass `-DCMAKE_XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=version`, where `version` is `9.0`, `10.0`, etc.
|
|
|
|
For macOS pass `-DCMAKE_XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=version`, where `version` is `10.12`, `10.13`, etc.
|
|
|
|
##### Code Signing Development Team
|
|
|
|
This should be set in the app `CMakeLists.txt` file. You only need to set the "Development Team" as Xcode will automatically manage the
|
|
other settings (certificate type, etc.). However the value you set is the 10-digit serial number following the development team name,
|
|
which you can see in the top-right of the [Apple Developer Certificates](https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/certificates/list) page.
|
|
|
|
Set it like this:
|
|
```
|
|
set_xcode_property(${APP_NAME} DEVELOPMENT_TEAM "GRLXXXX2K9")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Bundle Identifier, Version numbers and Device Support
|
|
|
|
All this information is held in the `Info.plist` file that is part of the app's source files and is therefore not generated by `cmake`. Therefore
|
|
you can update these values from the `General` page of the Xcode target and the values will be preserved the next time you regenerate the project
|
|
from `cmake`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Android Studio
|
|
|
|
We use the Gradle for Android applications, and Gradle use cmake to build the native code, see [gradle.properties](https://github.com/c4games/engine-x/blob/84be684e3858393a6f3efc50e3f95d4e0ac92a20/tests/cpp-empty-test/proj.android/gradle.properties#L38): `PROP_NDK_MODE`, it controls how native builds work.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# android native code build type
|
|
# none, native code will never be compiled.
|
|
# cmake, native code will be compiled by CMakeLists.txt
|
|
# ndk-build, native code will be compiled by Android.mk
|
|
PROP_BUILD_TYPE=cmake
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to add cmake build arguments, please add it at [external Native Build](https://github.com/c4games/engine-x/blob/84be684e3858393a6f3efc50e3f95d4e0ac92a20/tests/cpp-empty-test/proj.android/app/build.gradle#L25) block of __app/build.gradle__ file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Build Options
|
|
|
|
### CMake Common Build Options
|
|
|
|
1. __`-G`__, generate native build project you specified, for example
|
|
|
|
* `-GXcode` generate Xcode project files.
|
|
* `-GVisual Studio 16 2019` generate Visual Studio 2019 project, the default toolset is v141, add `-T` option to specify toolset, like this `-Tv142`
|
|
|
|
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..\engine-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.
|
|
|
|
## Tips
|
|
|
|
1. Use `cmake ..` to refersh resources and code files, after you modify `Resources` or `CMakeLists.txt`.
|
|
1. Don't need `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` options when `-G` Xcode or Visual Studio, CMake scripts will generate both configurations, so you can switch `Debug` and `Release` in IDE.
