cmkr, pronounced "cmaker", is A CMakeLists.txt generator from TOML.
See the [cmkr topic](https://github.com/topics/cmkr) for examples. Feel free to add the `cmkr` topic to your projects if you used cmkr!
## Building
cmkr requires a C++11 compiler, cmake >= 3.15.

cmkr parses cmake.toml files (using toml11 by Toru Niina) at the project directory. A basic hello world format with the minimum required fields:

**NOTE**: The documentation is currently a work-in-progress due to breaking changes since `0.1.4`. For examples you can check the [cmkr topic](https://github.com/topics/cmkr).

## Binary types
### executable
Executable binary. Equivalent to [add_executable(name)](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/add_executable.html).
### library
Library, can be static or shared depending on the BUILD_SHARED_LIBS variable. Equivalent to [add_library()](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/add_library.html).
### static
Static library/archive. Equivalent to [add_library(name STATIC)](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/add_library.html).
### shared
Shared/dynamic library. Equivalent to [add_library(name SHARED)](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/add_library.html).
### interface
Header-only library. Equivalent to [add_library(name INTERFACE)](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/add_library.html).
## Roadmap
- Support more cmake fields.
- Support conditional cmake args somehow!
