Cmake contributions
Contributions to the cmake build configurations are welcome. Please use case sensitivity that matches modern (ie. cmake version 2.6 and above) conventions of using lower-case for commands, and upper-case for variables.
CMake Style Recommendations
Indent all code correctly, i.e. the body of
- if/else/endif
- foreach/endforeach
- while/endwhile
- macro/endmacro
- function/endfunction
Use spaces for indenting, 2, 3 or 4 spaces preferably. Use the same amount of spaces for indenting as is used in the rest of the file. Do not use tabs.
Upper/lower casing
Most important: use consistent upper- or lowercasing within one file !
In general, the all-lowercase style is preferred.
So, this is recommended:
add_executable(foo foo.c)
These forms are discouraged
ADD_EXECUTABLE(bar bar.c)
Add_Executable(hello hello.c)
aDd_ExEcUtAbLe(blub blub.c)
End commands
To make the code easier to read, use empty commands for endforeach(), endif(), endfunction(), endmacro() and endwhile(). Also, use empty else() commands.
For example, do this:
if(FOOVAR)
some_command(...)
else()
another_command(...)
endif()
and not this:
if(BARVAR)
some_other_command(...)
endif(BARVAR)
