# cmkr
cmkr, pronounced "cmaker", is A CMakeLists.txt generator from TOML.
## Building
cmkr requires a C++17 compiler, cmake >= 3.14.
```
git clone https://github.com/moalyousef/cmkr
cd cmkr
cmake -Bbin
cmake --build bin
```
## Usage
cmkr parses cmake.toml files (using toml11 by Toru Niina) at the project directory. A basic hello world format with the minimum required fields:
```toml
[cmake]
minimum = "3.14"
[project]
name = "app"
version = "0.1.0"
[[bin]]
name = "app"
type = "exe"
sources = ["src/main.cpp"]
```
This project's cmake.toml:
```toml
[cmake]
minimum = "3.14"
[project]
name = "cmkr"
version = "0.1.0"
[fetch-content]
toml11 = { GIT_REPOSITORY = "https://github.com/ToruNiina/toml11" }
[[bin]]
name = "cmkrlib"
type = "static"
sources = ["src/cmake.cpp", "src/gen.cpp", "src/help.cpp", "src/build.cpp", "src/error.cpp"]
include-dirs = ["include"]
features = ["cxx_std_17"]
link-libs = ["toml11::toml11"]
[[bin]]
name = "cmkr"
type = "exe"
sources = ["src/main.cpp", "src/args.cpp"]
link-libs = ["cmkrlib"]
```
Currently supported fields:
```toml
[cmake] # required for top-level project
minimum = "3.14" # required
subdirs = [] # optional
bin-dir = "bin" # optional
cpp-flags = [] # optional
c-flags = [] # optional
link-flags = [] # optional
generator = "Ninja" # optional
arguments = ["CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/toolchain"] # optional
[project] # required per project
name = "app" # required
version = "0.1.0" # required
[find-package] # optional, runs find_package, use "*" to ignore version
Boost = { version = "1.74.0", required = false, components = ["system"] } # optional
spdlog = "*"
[fetch-content] # optional, runs fetchContent
toml11 = { GIT_REPOSITORY = "https://github.com/ToruNiina/toml11", GIT_TAG = "v3.5.0" } # optional
[options] # optional
APP_BUILD_STUFF = false # optional
APP_OTHER_STUFF = { comment = "does other stuff", value = false } # optional
[[bin]] # required, can define several binaries
name = "app" # required
type = "exe" # required (exe || shared || static)
sources = ["src/*.cpp"] # required, supports globbing
include-dirs = ["include"] # optional
alias = "" # optional
features = [] # optional
defines = [] # optional
link-libs = [] # optional
[[test]] # optional
name = "test1" # required
command = "app" # required
arguments = ["arg1", "arg2"] # optional
```
The cmkr executable can be run from the command-line:
```
Usage: cmkr [arguments]
arguments:
init [exe|lib|shared|static|interface] Starts a new project in the same directory.
gen Generates CMakeLists.txt file.
build <extra cmake args> Run cmake and build.
clean Clean the build directory.
help Show help.
version Current cmkr version.
```
The build command invokes cmake and the default build-system on your platform (unless a generator is specified), it also accepts extra cmake build arguments:
```
cmkr build --config Release
```
## Binary types
### exe
Executable binary.
### lib
Library, can be static or shared depending on the BUILD_SHARED_LIBS variable.
### static
Static library/archive.
### shared
Shared/dynamic library.
### interface
Header-only library.
## Roadmap
- Support more cmake fields.
- Support conditional cmake args somehow!
