To build with CMake, you will - of course have to first install CMake. The minimum required version of - CMake is specified in the file CMakeLists.txt found in the top of the curl - source tree. Once the correct version of CMake is installed you can follow - the instructions below for the platform you are building on. - - CMake builds can be configured either from the command line, or from one - of CMake's GUI's. - -Current flaws in the curl CMake build -===================================== - - Missing features in the cmake build: - - - Builds libcurl without large file support - - Does not support all SSL libraries (only OpenSSL, Schannel, - Secure Transport, and mbedTLS, WolfSSL) - - Does not allow different resolver backends (no c-ares build support) - - No RTMP support built - - Does not allow build curl and libcurl debug enabled - - Does not allow a custom CA bundle path - - Does not allow you to disable specific protocols from the build - - Does not find or use krb4 or GSS - - Rebuilds test files too eagerly, but still cannot run the tests - - Does not detect the correct strerror_r flavor when cross-compiling (issue #1123) - - -Command Line CMake -================== - A CMake build of curl is similar to the autotools build of curl. It - consists of the following steps after you have unpacked the source. - - 1. Create an out of source build tree parallel to the curl source - tree and change into that directory - - $ mkdir curl-build - $ cd curl-build - - 2. Run CMake from the build tree, giving it the path to the top of - the curl source tree. CMake will pick a compiler for you. If you - want to specify the compile, you can set the CC environment - variable prior to running CMake. - - $ cmake ../curl - $ make - - 3. Install to default location: - - $ make install - - (The test suite does not work with the cmake build) - -ccmake -========= - CMake comes with a curses based interface called ccmake. To run ccmake on - a curl use the instructions for the command line cmake, but substitute - ccmake ../curl for cmake ../curl. This will bring up a curses interface - with instructions on the bottom of the screen. You can press the "c" key - to configure the project, and the "g" key to generate the project. After - the project is generated, you can run make. - -cmake-gui -========= - CMake also comes with a Qt based GUI called cmake-gui. To configure with - cmake-gui, you run cmake-gui and follow these steps: - 1. Fill in the "Where is the source code" combo box with the path to - the curl source tree. - 2. Fill in the "Where to build the binaries" combo box with the path - to the directory for your build tree, ideally this should not be the - same as the source tree, but a parallel directory called curl-build or - something similar. - 3. Once the source and binary directories are specified, press the - "Configure" button. - 4. Select the native build tool that you want to use. - 5. At this point you can change any of the options presented in the - GUI. Once you have selected all the options you want, click the - "Generate" button. - 6. Run the native build tool that you used CMake to generate. |
