To reset all the changes that you made, select Reset. To remove the selected variables, select Unset. To clear the selection, select Clear Selection. You can apply actions to multiple variables at a time. If the initial, current, and kit configuration get out of sync, select Apply Kit Value or Apply Initial Configuration Value in the context menu in Initial Configuration or Current Configuration. To modify the value of a variable, double-click it, or select it, and then select Edit. To copy the name or value of the selected variable to the clipboard, select Copy in the context menu. To change the type of the selected variable, right-click the variable name in the Key column, and then select Force to bool, Force to file, Force to directory, or Force to string in the context menu.

To add variables, select Add, and then select the type of the variable that you are adding: Boolean, String, Directory, or File. To view all variables, select the Advanced check box. You can view and edit the actual values of the variables that are passed to CMake in Initial Configuration or Current Configuration.

#CMAKE GENERATOR GENERATOR#

When developing with Qt 6 for iOS, only the Xcode generator is supported. Therefore, the value of the Build type field must match that of the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE variable for the single configuration generators (Ninja, Makefile) to determine, which generator to use. However, this means that Qt Creator can no longer simply parse the first CMake file-api JSON export. This means that you need to configure CMake only once, have only one build directory, and can switch between build types faster. Qt Creator supports Multi-config generators, such as Xcode, Visual Studio, and Ninja Multi-Config. Select Kit Configuration to edit the CMake settings for the build and run kit selected for the project. For more information about the available options, click the link in the field name or see CMake: cmake(1).Īfter successfully running CMake, you can view and modify the current configuration in Current Configuration. You can specify additional CMake options, such as -find-debug, -preset, -trace-expand, or -warn-uninitialized, in Additional CMake options. For more information about Qt-specific variables, see CMake Variable Reference. For more information about the available variables, select Help in the context menu or see CMake: cmake-variables(7). Variable names are listed in the Key column and their current values in the Value column. You can view and edit the actual values of the variables that are passed to CMake. The variables that are inherited from the initial configuration are displayed in italic. The initial configuration list of variables is saved in the project's source directory as the file.Ĭurrent Configuration lists the CMake variables in the cmake-file-api JSON export in the. The default values that are inherited from the kit's CMake configuration are displayed in italic. Initial Configuration lists the variables that are used to configure the CMake project for the first time. To make this easier, Qt Creator creates an initial configuration for you based on the kit settings and displays it in Initial Configuration in the Build Settings of the project. base: core18 | coreConfiguring medium-sized to large CMake projects in Qt Creator can be a challenge due to the number of variables that you need to pass to CMake to configure the project correctly.

A common parameter for parts using the cmake plugin is CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr - this prevents installation to the default directory of /usr/local. Note that Snapcraft does not specify cmake parameters by default. cmake-generator (string, default: Unix Makefiles)ĭetermine what native build system is to be used.Ĭan be either Ninja or Unix Makefiles (default).Ĭonfigure flags to pass to the build using the common cmake semantics.See Snapcraft plugins and Supported plugins for further details on how plugins are used. Plugin-specific features and syntax are dependent on which base is being used, as outlined below:įor a simple example, see MOOS applications, or search GitHub for projects already using the plugin. This plugin also supports options from the make plugin.Ī cmake project will typically include a CMakeLists.txt file to drive the build, and the plugin requires that CMakeLists.txt exists within the root of the source tree. For more information, see Snapcraft parts metadata. This plugin uses the common plugin keywords as well as those for sources. The cmake plugin is useful for building CMake-based parts.
