| Description |
| =========== |
| |
| The **cmake-gui** executable is the CMake GUI. Project configuration |
| settings may be specified interactively. Brief instructions are |
| provided at the bottom of the window when the program is running. |
| |
| CMake is a cross-platform build system generator. Projects specify |
| their build process with platform-independent CMake listfiles included |
| in each directory of a source tree with the name ``CMakeLists.txt``. |
| Users build a project by using CMake to generate a build system for a |
| native tool on their platform. |
| |
| Options |
| ======= |
| |
| ``-S <path-to-source>`` |
| Path to root directory of the CMake project to build. |
| |
| ``-B <path-to-build>`` |
| Path to directory which CMake will use as the root of build directory. |
| |
| If the directory doesn't already exist CMake will make it. |
| |
| ``--preset=<preset-name>`` |
| Name of the preset to use from the project's |
| :manual:`presets <cmake-presets(7)>` files, if it has them. |
| |
| ``--browse-manual`` |
| Open the CMake reference manual in a browser and immediately exit. |
