CLion build depend targets

Question

My CLions CMakeLists.txt contains more than 1 target (libraries and depends executables). How can I configure building all targets in one click, instead of choosing target one by one and building them? For example, in Visual Studio I can configure project dependencies and build all solution. CLions "Edit configurations..."->"Before launch:Build" won't work for me.

Answer 1

You can add the command add_dependencies to your CMakeLists.txt, it does what you want:

Make a top-level target depend on other top-level targets to ensure that they build before does.

Then you just need to create a "BUILD_ALL" target that depends on every other target.

Answer 2

Clion use cmake right? you can directly edit the cmake file. Check add_subdirectory command. http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/command/add_subdirectory.html

Answer 3

Configuring target dependencies works, but it is much easier to add an "all" to CLion's build options.
