Package: cmany
Easily batch-build cmake projects!cmanyis a command line tool to easily
build variations of a CMake C/C++ project.  It combines different compilers,
cmake build types, bundles of compilation flags, processor architectures and
operating systems. Each of these items can also have associated compilation
flags.For example, to configure and build a project combining clang++ and g++
with both Debug and Release:$ cmany build -c clang++,g++ -t Debug,Release path/to/CMakeLists.txtThe command above will result in four different build trees, placed by default
under abuildsubdirectory in the current working directory:$ ls build/*
build/linux-x86_64-clang++3.9-Debug
build/linux-x86_64-clang++3.9-Release
build/linux-x86_64-gcc++6.1-Debug
build/linux-x86_64-gcc++6.1-ReleaseEach build tree is obtained by first configuring the project with the items
in each combination, and then invokingcmake--buildto build the project
at once.You can also use cmany just to simplify your cmake workflow! These two
command sequences have the same effect (bis an alias tobuild):typical cmakecmany$ mkdir build$ cd build$ cmake ..$ cmake--build.$ cmany bFeaturesEasily configures and builds many variations of your project with one
simple command.Saves the tedious and error-prone work of dealing with many build trees by
hand.Sensible defaults:cmany buildwill create and build a single project
using CMake’s defaults.Transparently pass flags (compiler flags, processor defines or cmake cache
variables) to any or all of the builds.Useful for build comparison and benchmarking. You can easily setup bundles
of flags, aka variants.Useful for validating and unit-testing your project with different
compilers and flags.Useful for creating distributions of your project.Avoids a full rebuild when the build type is changed. Although this feature
already exists in multi-configuration cmake generators like Visual Studio,
it is missing from mono-configuration generators like Unix Makefiles.Runs arbitrary commands in every build tree or install tree.Full control over how the build items are combined.More infoProject homeInstallingGetting startedSupportGitter room:https://gitter.im/cmany_/community.send bug reports tohttps://github.com/biojppm/cmany/issues.send pull requests tohttps://github.com/biojppm/cmany/pulls.Current statuscmany is in alpha state, under current development.Limitations & Known issuescmany invokes the compilers given to it to find their name and version. So
far, this successfully works with Visual Studio, gcc (also with arm-linux and
mips-linux counterparts), clang, icc and zapcc. However, the current
implementation for guessing the name and version is fragile and may fail in
some compilers which were not tested. Please submit a bug or PR if you
see such a failure.Though cmany works in OS X with gcc and clang, using Xcode has not been
tested at all. Get in touch if you are interested in getting cmany to work
with Xcode.Pure C projects (ie not C++) should work but have not yet been tested. Some
bugs may be present.Licensecmany is permissively licensed under theMIT license.Copyright (c) 2016, Joao Paulo Magalhaes <dev@jpmag.me>Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining
