[转]CMake入门
CMake是一个比make更高级的编译配置工具，它可以根据不同平台、不同的编译器，生成相应的Makefile或者vcproj项目。
通过编写CMakeLists.txt，可以控制生成的Makefile，从而控制编译过程。CMake自动生成的Makefile不仅可以通过make命令构建项目生成目标文件，还支持安装（make install）、测试安装的程序是否能正确执行（make test，或者ctest）、生成当前平台的安装包（make package）、生成源码包（make package_source）、产生Dashboard显示数据并上传等高级功能，只要在CMakeLists.txt中简单配置，就可以完成很多复杂的功能，包括写测试用例。

如果有嵌套目录，子目录下可以有自己的CMakeLists.txt。
总之，CMake是一个非常强大的编译自动配置工具，支持各种平台，KDE也是用它编译的，感兴趣的可以试用一下。
准备活动：
（1）安装cmake。
根据自己的需要下载相应的包即可，Windows下可以下载zip压缩的绿色版本，还可以下载源代码。
（2）运行cmake的方法。（GUI、命令行）
CMake使用步骤：
运行GUI的cmake界面：
cmake-2.8.1-win32-x86\bin\cmake-gui.exe
cmake-2.8.1-win32-x86\bin\cmake-gui.exe
执行Configure：
运行之后，生成了如下文件：
生成Makefile：
执行Generate之后生成如下文件：
运行make进行编译：
编译完成后，在build目录生成Tutorial.exe，运行Tutorial.exe 25就可以看到运行结果：
运行make install安装程序：
运行make test进行测试：
通过cmake tutorial学习CMake配置方法
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake_tutorial.html
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake_tutorial.html
可以在源代码的Tests/Turorial目录中找到这个手册对应的代码。
1、Step1。
（如果不知道如何使用cmake，以及如何使用编译产生的Turorial.exe，可先看下前面“CMake使用步骤”的说明，它以Step4为例详细介绍了使用过程，Step1的配置可能不够完全，比如无法运行make install，无法运行make test，但可以参考。）
简单的程序编译。
简单的程序编译。
（1）运行GUI的cmake，指定要编译的源代码路径和二进制文件路径（会自动创建）。
（2）点击Configure，配置成功后，再点击Generate。
配置需要选择合适的编译器，虽然我安装了VC2008，但没有配置成功；选择Unix Makefiles，配置成功，它自动找到了DevC++下的gcc.exe等编译器。
（3）在build3目录执行make，就能够编译生成Turorial.exe了。
D:\Projects\Lab\testngpp\cmake-2.8.1\Tests\Tutorial\Step1\build3>make
Linking CXX executable Tutorial.exe
[100%] Built target Tutorial
D:\Projects\Lab\testngpp\cmake-2.8.1\Tests\Tutorial\Step1\build3>make
Linking CXX executable Tutorial.exe
[100%] Built target Tutorial
可以运行一下Turorial.exe：
D:\Projects\Lab\testngpp\cmake-2.8.1\Tests\Tutorial\Step1\build3>Tutorial.exeTutorial.exe Version 1.0
Usage: Tutorial.exe number
D:\Projects\Lab\testngpp\cmake-2.8.1\Tests\Tutorial\Step1\build3>Tutorial.exe 4
The square root of 4 is 2
2、Step2
把子目录编译为库，并且链接到最终的可执行文件。
include_directories ("${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/MathFunctions")
add_subdirectory (MathFunctions) # 使得子目录MathFunctions也能被编译
# add the executable
add_executable (Tutorial tutorial.cxx)
target_link_libraries (Tutorial MathFunctions)
产生makefile：
add_subdirectory (MathFunctions) # 使得子目录MathFunctions也能被编译
add_executable (Tutorial tutorial.cxx)
target_link_libraries (Tutorial MathFunctions)
产生makefile：
在GUI上点击Configure，之后Generate还是灰色，再次点击Configure，Generate就可以点击了。
编译：
在build目录运行make，即可开始编译，但是开始会报告sh.exe运行异常，应该是Tools下的UnxUtils的sh.exe与Win7不兼容，发现有如下make文件，估计是它导致的，于是把它重命名，不使用UnxUtils下的make，就OK乐。
D:\Tools\CMD\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin\make.exe
编译过程：
D:\Projects\Lab\testngpp\cmake-2.8.1\Tests\Tutorial\Step2\build>make
[ 50%] Building CXX object MathFunctions/CMakeFiles/MathFunctions.dir/mysqrt.cxx
.obj
Linking CXX static library libMathFunctions.a
[ 50%] Built target MathFunctions
Linking CXX executable Tutorial.exe
[100%] Built target Tutorial
3、Step3
D:\Projects\Lab\testngpp\cmake-2.8.1\Tests\Tutorial\Step2\build>make
[ 50%] Building CXX object MathFunctions/CMakeFiles/MathFunctions.dir/mysqrt.cxx
.obj
Linking CXX static library libMathFunctions.a
[ 50%] Built target MathFunctions
Linking CXX executable Tutorial.exe
[100%] Built target Tutorial
3、Step3
支持make install把程序安装到系统指定目录，并且运行一些测试检查它是否能够正常工作。
a、安装时使用的基础目录，由CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX指定。
b、可以通过一个很简单的用例检查程序是否运行起来，没有出现异常。（TurotialRuns只是一个用例名字）
add_test (TutorialRuns Tutorial 25)
c、macro方式进行多组数据的测试是非常简洁方便的。
#define a macro to simplify adding tests, then use it
macro (do_test arg result)
add_test (TutorialComp${arg} Tutorial ${arg})
set_tests_properties (TutorialComp${arg}
PROPERTIES PASS_REGULAR_EXPRESSION ${result})
endmacro (do_test)
macro (do_test arg result)
add_test (TutorialComp${arg} Tutorial ${arg})
set_tests_properties (TutorialComp${arg}
PROPERTIES PASS_REGULAR_EXPRESSION ${result})
endmacro (do_test)
# do a bunch of result based tests
do_test (25 "25 is 5")
do_test (-25 "-25 is 0")
执行make install：

2 - TutorialComp25 (Failed)
Errors while running CTest
make: *** [test] Error 8
4、Step4
检查系统是否支持log和exp函数。（log和exp都是数学运算函数）
检查方法：
检查方法：
（1）顶层配置中使用CheckFunctionExists.cmake
# does this system provide the log and exp functions?
include (CheckFunctionExists.cmake)
check_function_exists (log HAVE_LOG)
check_function_exists (exp HAVE_EXP)
（2）修改.in文件，定义宏。（修改TutorialConfig.h.in，cmake执行中会把宏定义为合适的值，生成TurorialConfig.h，供编译时使用）
// does the platform provide exp and log functions?
#cmakedefine HAVE_LOG
#cmakedefine HAVE_EXP
# does this system provide the log and exp functions?
include (CheckFunctionExists.cmake)
check_function_exists (log HAVE_LOG)
check_function_exists (exp HAVE_EXP)
（2）修改.in文件，定义宏。（修改TutorialConfig.h.in，cmake执行中会把宏定义为合适的值，生成TurorialConfig.h，供编译时使用）
// does the platform provide exp and log functions?
#cmakedefine HAVE_LOG
#cmakedefine HAVE_EXP
（3）在代码中使用宏和log函数等。
// if we have both log and exp then use them
#if defined (HAVE_LOG) && defined (HAVE_EXP)
result = exp(log(x)*0.5);
#else // otherwise use an iterative approach
#if defined (HAVE_LOG) && defined (HAVE_EXP)
result = exp(log(x)*0.5);
#else // otherwise use an iterative approach
Step4的完整配置、生成Makefile、编译、运行、安装、测试过程，参见最前面的“CMake使用步骤”。
5、Step5
动态生成源文件，自动把源文件编译进系统中。
make的时候出错了：
D:\Projects\Lab\testngpp\cmake-2.8.1\Tests\Tutorial\Step5\build>make
Scanning dependencies of target MakeTable
[ 25%] Building CXX object MathFunctions/CMakeFiles/MakeTable.dir/MakeTable.cxx.

或批处理文件。
make[2]: *** [MathFunctions/Table.h] Error 1
make[1]: *** [MathFunctions/CMakeFiles/MathFunctions.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
问题分析：
D:\Projects\Lab\testngpp\cmake-2.8.1\Tests\Tutorial\Step5\build>make
Scanning dependencies of target MakeTable
[ 25%] Building CXX object MathFunctions/CMakeFiles/MakeTable.dir/MakeTable.cxx.

[ 50%] Generating Table.h
'.' 不是内部或外部命令，也不是可运行的程序
或批处理文件。
make[2]: *** [MathFunctions/Table.h] Error 1
make[1]: *** [MathFunctions/CMakeFiles/MathFunctions.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
问题分析：
首先看build/makefile文件，关于MakeTable有如下规则：
# Build rule for target.
MakeTable: cmake_check_build_system
$(MAKE) -f CMakeFiles/Makefile2 MakeTable
.PHONY : MakeTable
再看Makefile2文件，找到出错时正在编译的目标。
MakeTable: cmake_check_build_system
$(MAKE) -f CMakeFiles/Makefile2 MakeTable
.PHONY : MakeTable
再看Makefile2文件，找到出错时正在编译的目标。
# All Build rule for target.
MathFunctions/CMakeFiles/MakeTable.dir/all:
$(MAKE) -f MathFunctions/CMakeFiles/MakeTable.dir/build.make MathFunctions/CMakeFiles/MakeTable.dir/depend
$(MAKE) -f MathFunctions/CMakeFiles/MakeTable.dir/build.make MathFunctions/CMakeFiles/MakeTable.dir/build
$(CMAKE_COMMAND) -E cmake_progress_report D:/Projects/Lab/testngpp/cmake-2.8.1/Tests/Tutorial/Step5/build/CMakeFiles 1
@echo "Built target MakeTable"
.PHONY : MathFunctions/CMakeFiles/MakeTable.dir/all
Make规则的执行顺序是按照命令的先后顺序：
MathFunctions/CMakeFiles/MakeTable.dir/all:
$(MAKE) -f MathFunctions/CMakeFiles/MakeTable.dir/build.make MathFunctions/CMakeFiles/MakeTable.dir/depend
$(MAKE) -f MathFunctions/CMakeFiles/MakeTable.dir/build.make MathFunctions/CMakeFiles/MakeTable.dir/build
$(CMAKE_COMMAND) -E cmake_progress_report D:/Projects/Lab/testngpp/cmake-2.8.1/Tests/Tutorial/Step5/build/CMakeFiles 1
@echo "Built target MakeTable"
.PHONY : MathFunctions/CMakeFiles/MakeTable.dir/all
Make规则的执行顺序是按照命令的先后顺序：
如果Makefile内容如下：
all:
echo "First line."
echo "Second line."
那么make结果：
D:\Users\Desktop>make
echo "First line."
First line.
echo "Second line."
Second line.
echo "First line."
echo "Second line."
那么make结果：
D:\Users\Desktop>make
echo "First line."
First line.
echo "Second line."
Second line.
由此，Built target MakeTable输出之后才失败的。
6、Step6
生成各种平台Windows/Ubuntu/etc.上的安装包，包括二进制安装包和源码安装包。
可以把依赖的系统库也打包。include (InstallRequiredSystemLibraries)
使用CPack。
由于Step1-7，后面一步的配置都包含了前面一步的配置，所以从Step5开始，就会遇到make的问题。
为了编译通过，可以修改MathFunctions目录下的CMakeLists.txt和mysqrt.cxx，去掉所有对Table.h 的依赖。
运行make package可以生成安装包：
第一次，因为没有安装nsis，提示如下问题：
D:\Projects\Lab\testngpp\cmake-2.8.1\Tests\Tutorial\Step6\build>make package
[ 50%] "Built target MathFunctions"
[100%] "Built target Tutorial"
Run CPack packaging tool...
CPack Error: Cannot find NSIS registry value. This is usually caused by NSIS not

CPack Error: Cannot initialize the generator NSIS

CPack Error: Cannot find NSIS registry value. This is usually caused by NSIS not

安装NSIS之后，运行成功：
D:\Projects\Lab\testngpp\cmake-2.8.1\Tests\Tutorial\Step6\build>make package
[ 50%] "Built target MathFunctions"
[100%] "Built target Tutorial"

生成了如下的Windows安装包文件：
安装完成后，还可以很方便的卸载它：
运行make package_source可以产生源代码包。（我的电脑上提示找不到合适的zip程序）
D:\Projects\Lab\testngpp\cmake-2.8.1\Tests\Tutorial\Step6\build>make package_sou
rce
Run CPack packaging tool for source...

7、Step7
