Yes, I have used CMake for automating the build process of C/C++ projects. CMake is a cross-platform tool that generates build files for various systems (Makefile, Visual Studio, Ninja, etc.).
Main advantages of CMake:
- Simplifies management of complex projects with many dependencies.
- Allows easy switching between platforms and compilers.
- Automates the configuration and build process.
An example of a simple CMakeLists.txt for a project with a single source file:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(MyApp)
add_executable(myapp main.cpp)
Build commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
Thus, CMake helps standardize and simplify the build process.
