Unix Makefiles — CMake 4.0.1 Documentation (original) (raw)

Generates standard UNIX makefiles.

A hierarchy of UNIX makefiles is generated into the build tree. Use any standard UNIX-style make program to build the project through the all target and install the project through the install(or install/strip) target.

For each subdirectory sub/dir of the project a UNIX makefile will be created, containing the following targets:

all

Depends on all targets required by the subdirectory.

install

Runs the install step in the subdirectory, if any.

install/strip

Runs the install step in the subdirectory followed by a CMAKE_STRIP command, if any.

The CMAKE_STRIP variable will contain the platform's strip utility, which removes symbols information from generated binaries.

test

Runs the test step in the subdirectory, if any.

package

Runs the package step in the subdirectory, if any.
