In the A Basic Starting Point tutorial provided by cmake, it introduces to users how to start with cmake.
For Configure and Build: it uses:
mkdir Step1_build
cd Step1_build
cmake ../Step1 # Generate make system
cmake --build . # Build targets
./Tutorial # Run targets
With our plugin, you can use:
CMakeGenerate # Correspond to cmake ../Step1
CMakeBuild # Correspond to cmake --build .
CMakeRun # Correspond to ./Tutorial
And, actually with our plugin, you no longer need to execute generate
, build
and run
in a specific order, instead, you can directly run CMakeRun
to run specific target. This plugin will automatically generate and build targets for you.
