GCMake

A simple CMakeLists.txt generator that adds glob capabilities without removing performance.

Bulding

To build use typical cmake build commands (e.g. mkdir build, cd build, cmake ..). Note: on windows you must use gcc or somehow have access to the glibc libraries (this is going to change in the future).

Usage

First, create your CMake configuration and then save it as GCMakeLists.txt (This is what would normally go in CMakeLists.txt). Then, make a GCMake.json file in the same directory, this is were the configuration for glob goes. There are currently two options:

• "files" - This is a list of string patterns that specify what files GCMake should include in the generated CMakeLists.txt
• "dirs" - This is a list of string patterns that specify what sub-directories GCMake can search when looking for files Here is an example configuration from this project:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.1)
project(MyProject)
add_executable(MyProject ${GCMAKE_FILES})
target_include_directories(GCMake PRIVATE include)

Notice the ${GCMAKE_FILES} variable, this is were the files that are specified are put.

Once the CMakeLists.txt file is generated it should look something like this:

########GCMake Generated Block DO NOT EDIT########
set(GCMAKE_FILES  "./src/glob.c" "./src/GCMake.c" "./src/cJSON.c")
##################################################
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.1)
project(GCMake)
add_executable(GCMake ${GCMAKE_FILES})
target_include_directories(GCMake PRIVATE include)

Once the generator has run successfully you can run cmake normally.
