cmakegen

A simple command line tool to generate a cmake project structure.

It automatically generates the configuration for pkg-config, install targets, and a standard CMakeLists.txt file.

Installation

go install github.com/abiiranathan/cmakegen

Usage

cmakegen -h
Usage of cmakegen:
  -configure
        Run cmake after generating the files
  -desc string
        Description of the project
  -generator string
        CMake generator to use (default "Ninja")
  -install
        Is the project installable (default true)
  -lang string
        Language of the project (default "C")
  -lib
        Is the project a library
  -linklibs string
        Linker libraries
  -name string
        Name of the project

If the project name is not provided, the current directory name is used as the project name, replacing spaces with underscores.

Example

cmakegen -name my_project -desc "My awesome project" -lang C -linklibs "pthread m" -configure

This will generate the following files in the working directory:

build/
include/
src/
    main.c
CMakeLists.txt
my_project.pc.in
my_projectConfig.cmake.in

If the -configure flag is provided, it will also run cmake in the build directory and generate the build files and targets.
