General CMake documentation

New page

Useful CMake documentation.

* [http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6700 The dated but still extremely useful LJ article/tutorial]

* The man page which is automatically build by the cmake --help facility (should be available with your distribution and also as the last part of http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Documentation.html).

* To get the same documentation in perhaps more convenient form from cmake itself, run

cmake --help-full |less

* To get a complete list of cmake commands use

cmake --help-command-list |less

* To get specific help for, e.g., the ADD_SUBDIRECTORY command use

cmake --help-command ADD_SUBDIRECTORY

* [http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Documentation.html The CMake Documentation page]

* [http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake The CMake Wiki]

* [http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ The CMake FAQ]

* [http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Useful_Variables Useful CMake variables]

* [http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_HowToFindInstalledSoftware How to find installed software]

* [http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_HowToDoPlatformChecks How to do platform checks]

* [http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=KDECMakeIntro Useful introduction to CMake from the KDE perspective]

* CMake is an easy language to understand so the cmake modules in $cmake_prefix/share/CMake/Modules, where cmake_prefix is the prefix for your cmake install, are a good source of ideas.

* KDE and Scribus CMakeLists.txt files and *.cmake modules. You may get access to the latest KDE and Scribus work following the instructions at http://developer.kde.org/source/anonsvn.html and http://docs.scribus.net/index.php?lang=en&page=install1.

* [http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake The CMake mailing list] This is an extremely active mailing list where the subscribers are most helpful.
