# gradle-plugin-cmake
This plugin allows to configure and build using CMake.
## Prerequisites
* `CMake` installed on the system. Available [here](https://www.cmake.org "CMake Homepage").
## To apply the plugin:
**plugins DSL**
```groovy
plugins {
id 'org.xbib.gradle.plugin.cmake' version '3.1.0'
}
```
**Legacy plugin application**
```groovy
buildscript {
repositories {
maven {
url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
}
}
dependencies {
classpath 'org.xbib.gradle:gradle-plugin-cmake:3.1.0'
}
}
apply plugin: "org.xbib.gradle.plugin.cmake"
```
and configure by:
```groovy
cmake {
// optional configration to path of cmake. Not required if cmake is on the path.
executable='/my/path/to/cmake'
// optional working folder. default is ./build/cmake
workingFolder=file("$buildDir/cmake")
// cmakeConfigure parameters
// optional source folder. This is where the main CMakeLists.txt file resides. Default is ./src/main/cpp
sourceFolder=file("$projectDir/src/main/cpp")
// optional install prefix. By default, install prefix is empty.
installPrefix="${System.properties['user.home']}"
// select a generator (optional, otherwise cmake's default generator is used)
generator='Visual Studio 15 2017'
// set a platform for generators that support it (usually Visual Studio)
platform='x64'
// set a toolset generators that support it (usually only Visual Studio)
toolset='v141'
// optionally set to build static libs
buildStaticLibs=true
// optionally set to build shared libs
buildSharedLibs=true
// define arbitrary CMake parameters. The below adds -Dtest=hello to cmake command line.
defs.test='hello'
// cmakeBuild parameters
// optional configuration to build
buildConfig='Release'
// optional build target
buildTarget='install'
// optional build clean. if set to true, calls cmake --build with --clean-first
buildClean=false
}
```
## Auto-created tasks
* *cmakeConfigure*: Calls CMake to generate your build scripts in the folder selected by workingFolder.
* *cmakeBuild*: Calls CMake --build in the folder selected by workingFolder to actually build.
* *cmakeClean*: Cleans the workingFolder.
* *cmakeGenerators*: Trys to list the generators available on the current platform by parsing `cmake --help`'s output.
## Examples
clean, configure and build:
```bash
./gradlew cmakeClean cmakeConfigure cmakeBuild
```
if you have assemble and clean tasks in your gradle project already you can also use:
```bash
assemble.dependsOn cmakeBuild
cmakeBuild.dependsOn cmakeConfigure
clean.dependsOn cmakeClean
```
and just call
```bash
./gradlew clean assemble
```
If you want to get the output of cmake, add -i to your gradle call, for example:
```bash
./gradlew cmakeConfigure -i
```
## Custom tasks
You can create custom tasks the following way:
```groovy
task configureFoo(type: org.xbib.gradle.plugin.cmake.CMakeConfigureTask) {
sourceFolder=file("$projectDir/src/main/cpp/foo")
workingFolder=file("$buildDir/cmake/foo")
// ... other parameters you need, see above, except the ones listed under cmakeBuild Parameters
}
task buildFoo(type: org.xbib.gradle.plugin.cmake.CMakeBuildTask) {
workingFolder=file("$buildDir/cmake/foo")
// ... other parameters you need, see above, except the ones listed under cmakeConfigure parameters
}
buildFoo.dependsOn configureFoo // optional --- make sure its configured when you run the build task
```
### Multiple targets (cross-compilation)
If you need to configure for multiple targets you can use the `targets` property:
```groovy
cmake {
sourceFolder = "$projectDir/src"
buildSharedLibs = true
buildClean = true
buildConfig = 'Release'
targets {
windows {
final os = OperatingSystem.WINDOWS
workingFolder = new File(project.getBuildDir(), "cmake" + File.separator + os.nativePrefix)
platform='x64'
}
linux {
final os = OperatingSystem.LINUX
workingFolder = new File(project.getBuildDir(), "cmake" + File.separator + os.nativePrefix)
platform = 'x64'
}
mac {
final os = OperatingSystem.MAC_OS
workingFolder = new File(project.getBuildDir(), "cmake" + File.separator + os.nativePrefix)
platform = 'arm64'
}
}
}
```
### Custom tasks using main configuration
As an alternative to using `targets` you can "import" the settings you've made in the main configuration "cmake" using the 'configureFromProject()' call:
```groovy
cmake {
executable='/my/path/to/cmake'
workingFolder=file("$buildDir/cmake")
sourceFolder=file("$projectDir/src/main/cpp")
installPrefix="${System.properties['user.home']}"
generator='Visual Studio 15 2017'
platform='x64'
}
task cmakeConfigureX86(type: org.xbib.gradle.plugin.cmake.CMakeConfigureTask) {
configureFromProject() // uses everything in the cmake { ... } section.
// overwrite target platform
platform='x86'
// set a different working folder to not collide with default task
workingFolder=file("$buildDir/cmake_x86")
}
task cmakeBuildX86(type: org.xbib.gradle.plugin.cmake.CMakeBuildTask) {
configureFromProject() // uses everything in the cmake { ... } section.
workingFolder=file("$buildDir/cmake_x86")
}
cmakeBuildX86.dependsOn cmakeConfigureX86
```
