# cmkr

A CMakeLists.txt generator from TOML. Still WIP.

## Building
```
git clone https://github.com/moalyousef/cmkr
cd cmkr
cmake -S. -Bbin
cmake --build bin
```

## Usage
cmkr parses cmake.toml files at the project directory. A basic hello world format with the minimum required fields:
```toml
[cmake]
minimum_required = "3.0"

[project]
name = "cmkr"
version = "0.1.0"

[[bin]]
name = "cmkr"
type = "exe"
sources = ["src/main.cpp"]
```

Currently supported fields:
```toml
[cmake] # required
minimum_required = "3.0" # required
# cpp_flags = [] # optional
# c_flags = [] # optional
# linker_flags = [] # optional
# subdirs = [] # optional

[project] # required
name = "cmkr" # required
version = "0.1.0" # required

[dependencies] # optional, runs find_package, use "*" to ignore version
boost = "1.74.0" # optional

[[bin]] # required
name = "cmkr" # required
type = "exe" # required (exe || shared || static)
sources = ["src/main.cpp", "src/args.cpp", "src/gen.cpp"] # required
include_directories = ["vendor"] # optional
compile_features = ["cxx_std_17"] # optional
# link_libraries = [] # optional 
```

The cmkr executable can be run from the command-line:
```
Usage: cmkr [arguments]
arguments:
    init     [exe|shared|static]    Starts a new project in the same directory.
    gen                             Generates CMakeLists.txt file.
    build    [cmake args...]        Run cmake and build.
    help                            Show help.
    version                         Current cmkr version.
```
The build command invokes cmake and the default build-system on your platform, it also accepts extra cmake arguments:
```
cmkr build -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/toolchain -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release 
```

## Roadmap
- Support more fields.
- Support conditional cmake args somehow!
