CMake Command Line Interface
Change current directory to the directory with your CMakeList.txt file.
cd your-project
Create a new directory named build.
mkdir build
Change current directory to the new build directory.
cd build
Choose a CMake Generator to use. Here's a list of them. In this example, we will use the default, so we'll keep it empty. The default is different depending on your system but it's likely make
.
If you used VCPKG, do the following, otherwise skip this step. You'll need to add the command line argument -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=[path to vcpkg]/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
with [path to vcpkg]
replaced.
Generate build configuration files using CMake on the previous directory with your chosen CMake Generator and toolchain.
cmake ..
