Use CMake Converter¶
Quick Use¶
To use cmake converter, simply give your *.sln
file to cmake-converter command:
cmake-converter -s <path/to/file.sln>
Advance Usage¶
The cmake-converter
command accepts a lot of parameters to try to suit the majority of situations.
Main¶
Manage script arguments and launch
Solution Conversion¶
With cmake-converter, you can convert full Visual Studio solutions.
The script will extract data from all supported *proj files and create the corresponding CMakeLists.txt.
With the following project structure:
project/
└── msvc
├── libone
│ └── libone.vcxproj
├── libtwo
│ └── libtwo.vcxproj
└── myexec
├── myexec.sln
└── myexec.vcxproj
Then you’ll run cmake-converter as follow:
cmake-converter \
--solution=project/msvc/myexec/myexec.sln \
--verbose-mode \
--private-include-directories \
--warning-level=3
And you’ll have the following CMakeLists.txt generated:
project/
└── msvc
├── libone
│ ├── CMakeLists.txt *
│ └── libone.vcxproj
├── libtwo
│ ├── CMakeLists.txt *
│ └── libtwo.vcxproj
└── myexec
│
└── CMake *
│ ├── Default*.cmake *
│ └── Utils.cmake *
├── CMakeLists.txt *
├── myexec.sln
└── myexec.vcxproj
Hints¶
You can add CMake/GlobalSettingsInclude.cmake file for global custom CMake settings.
Pay attention on warnings and do proposed fixes.
Run cmake-converter –help for more info.
