CMake

CMake official version

The official version of CMake is a programming tool suitable for programmers. CMake software, BOOST, and OPENCV are all commonly used software in programming. CMake is designed to build, test and package software. The CMake compilation tool can help users easily program in C++ language and allow you to check the effect of the program at any time. Huajun Software Park provides CMake software download service. Everyone is welcome to download and use it!

CMake software functions

​ ​ 1. CMake can compile source code, create libraries, generate adapters (wrappers), and build executable files in any order.

2. Supports in-place construction (binary files and source code are in the same directory tree) and out-of-place construction (binary files are in other directories), so you can easily build from the same source code directory tree. Multiple binary input files are constructed in it.

3. CMake also supports the construction of static and dynamic libraries. The name "CMake" is "cross platform Abbreviation of "make". Although the name contains "make", CMake is separate from the common "make" system on Unix and is more advanced.

CMake FAQ

      Question: How to compile using CMake?

Answer: Confirm that the NAOqi executable file and module package are not running.

​​​​Run the CMake interface.

In the "Where is the code source" field, select NAOqi SDK sample directory (for example: "/path/to/aldebaran-sdk/modules/src/helloworld").

In "Where to build the binaries" field, select a temporary build directory. If there is not one, create one (for example: "/path/to/aldebaran-sdk/modules/modules/src/examples/helloworld/build").

​​Click the "configure" button. Select the integrated development environment (IDE) you want to use. For Windows systems, select "Visual Studio 8 2005" or "Visual Studio 9 2008"; Select "UNIX Makefiles" for Linux and Mac systems.

​​Click the "configure" button. Select the integrated development environment (IDE) you want to use. For Windows systems, select "Visual Studio 8 2005" or "Visual Studio 9 2008"; Select "UNIX Makefiles" for Linux and Mac systems.

​​Select "Specify toolchain file for cross-compiling" and then enter "/path/to/aldebaran-sdk/toolchain-pc.cmake".

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Even if you are not cross-compiling, you must specify a toolchain file.

​ ​ If some configuration fields are red, please click the "configure" button again. All fields should be gray. Click OK.

​ ​ Under Windows systems, an openable .sln file will be generated in your build directory.

Compile the sample project. In Linux or Mac, just "cd" to the build directory and type "make".

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

You can reset your project at any time. While doing so, delete the contents of the build directory and restart CMake.

                                      Do not edit Visual Studio Project, because it is generated in real time (see the Cmake program manual for details). It can be configured by editing the Cmake file.
