Index

cmkr, pronounced "cmaker", is a modern build system based on CMake and TOML. It was originally created by Mohammed Alyousef.

NOTE: The documentation is currently a work-in-progress due to breaking changes since 0.1.4. For examples you can check the cmkr GitHub topic and the tests.

cmkr parses cmake.toml files and generates a modern, idiomatic CMakeLists.txt for you. A minimal example:

[project]
name = "cmkr_for_beginners"
description = "A minimal cmkr project."

[target.hello_world]
type = "executable"
sources = ["src/main.cpp"]

cmkr can bootstrap itself from CMake and consumers of your project do not need to install anything to use it.
