Configure a CMake buildsystem.

vcpkg_cmake_configure
configures a CMake build system for use with
vcpkg_cmake_buildsystem_build
and vcpkg_cmake_buildsystem_install
.
source-path
is where the source is located; by convention,
this is usually ${SOURCE_PATH}
, which is set by one of the vcpkg_from_*
functions.
This function configures the build system for both Debug and Release builds by default,
assuming that VCPKG_BUILD_TYPE
is not set; if it is, then it will only configure for
that build type.
Use the OPTIONS
argument to set the configure settings for both release and debug,
and use OPTIONS_RELEASE
and OPTIONS_DEBUG
to set the configure settings for
release only and debug only respectively.
By default, when possible, vcpkg_cmake_configure
uses ninja-build
as its build system. If the WINDOWS_USE_MSBUILD
argument is passed, then
vcpkg_cmake_configure
will use a Visual Studio generator on Windows;
on every other platform, vcpkg_cmake_configure
just uses Ninja.
Additionally, one may pass the specific generator a port should use with GENERATOR
.
This is useful if some project-specific buildsystem
has been wrapped in a CMake build system that doesn't perform an actual build.
If used for this purpose, it should be set to "NMake Makefiles"
.
vcpkg_cmake_buildsystem_build
and install
do not support this being set to anything
except for NMake.
For libraries which cannot be configured in parallel,
pass the DISABLE_PARALLEL_CONFIGURE
flag. This is needed, for example,
if the library's build system writes back into the source directory during configure.
This also disables the CMAKE_DISABLE_SOURCE_CHANGES
option.
By default, this function adds flags to CMAKE_C_FLAGS
and CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS
which set the default character set to utf-8 for MSVC.
If the library sets its own code page, pass the NO_CHARSET_FLAG
option.
This function makes certain that all options passed in are used by the
underlying CMake build system. If there are options that might be unused,
perhaps on certain platforms, pass those variable names to
MAYBE_UNUSED_VARIABLES
.
LOGFILE_BASE
is used to set the base of the logfile names;
by default, this is config
, and thus the logfiles end up being something like
config-x86-windows-dbg.log
. You can set it to anything you like;
if you set it to config-the-first
,
you'll get something like config-the-first-x86-windows.dbg.log
.
