Tips About Using Cmake

Posted on

I have used Makefile for more than 3 years, and I like to use it for its easy-to-use. But I have to learn how to use Cmake(I hate this) due to my project is based on OpenCV, which based on Cmake when compiling. So I will write some tips/hints for myself:

  1. Basic functions

    project(XXX) # project name
    add_executable(XXX) # compile
