Presets

CMake presets are a way to simplify the configuration process.

To configure a project with a preset run:

cmake --preset [NAME OF PRESET]

All flags that can be passed to regular cmake command, such as -B, -S and -D, can be passed to cmake --preset

4 presets are provided:

• default
  • The default preset uses the Ninja generator, enables ccache and compile commands.
• ninja
  • Like the default preset, but with no caching or compile commands.
• make
  • Like ninja, but using the Unix Makefiles generator.
• ci
  • Provides a convenient way to configure the project for CI

All presets use build as the build directory by default.
