| While CMake itself is already very fast, there are some things you can do to ensure works
| | {{CMake/Template/Moved}} |
| as fast as possible.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Build it with optimization enabled==
| | This page has moved [https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/community/wikis/doc/cmake/Performance-Tips here]. |
| | |
| Ok, this is obvious, but anyway. Let's say you build CMake yourself without any special settings, e.g.
| |
| <pre>
| |
| $ cmake ..
| |
| $ make
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| If you do it this way, you will get a CMake with optimizations turned off.
| |
| There are different ways to get an optimized build. You can select one of the predefined build types:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| $ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE ..
| |
| $ make
| |
| </pre>
| |
| Also possible are RELWITHDEBINFO and MINSIZEREL.
| |
| | |
| or
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| $ export CXXFLAGS=-O2
| |
| $ cmake ..
| |
| $ make
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| or
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| $ export CXXFLAGS=-O2
| |
| $ cmake ..
| |
| $ make edit_cache (or ccmake ..)
| |
| ... edit CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS in the advanced view
| |
| $ make
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| CMake built with optimizations enabled can give you an almost 50% performance boost (time for running
| |
| CMake on VTK went down from 25 s to 14 s).
| |
| | |
| ==Use LIST(APPEND ...)==
| |
| | |
| There are two ways to append values to a variable in CMake:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| SET(myVar ${myVar} newItem)
| |
| </pre
| |
| | |
| and since CMake 2.4 there is the new LIST() command:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| LIST(APPEND myVar newItem)
| |
| </pre
| |
| | |
| LIST(APPEND ...) is for large lists and many appends much faster than the method using SET().
