Typical cmake configure script, allowing you to switch between compilers/toolchains/build modes easily

Typical CMake Configure

Cross compiling with cmake could be pretty tedious. Normally you have to supply both c/c++ compiler to cmake + export compile target, so your vscode and/or emacs could find targets and stuff.

Basic Features

• -f filters toolchain list
• -p passes installation prefix
• -G specifies generator (default: ninja)
• -X skip g++/clang++ check

How to

If you want to build something for ARMv4t

mkdir build.armv4t
cd build.armv4t

cmake-configure .. -f armv4`

Toolchain detection

cmake-configure looks into your PATH shell variable and filter all binaries containing gcc or clang in its path. Then tries to figure out C++ compiler.

You can test detection with cmake-configure -l ..

You can use -f with -l:

cmake-configure -l .. -f wine
{prefix: wine, cc: /usr/bin/winegcc-staging, cxx: /usr/bin/wineg++-staging}
