Cmaker

An oh-my-zsh plugin to make using cmake easier.

Installation

If you have Oh-My-Zsh installed

• cd /Users/$USER/.oh-my-zsh/custom
• git clone https://github.com/apalkk/Cmaker.git
• source ~/.zshrc

If you don't

• Copy the Cmaker.plugin.zsh file
• Open the ~/.zshrc file and then paste everythin there.

How It Works

Cmaker uses a template text file located in the ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/cMaker directory to create a CMakeLists.txt file which will act as a config file when commands like cgen,ccomp and cbin are run. You can use ctemp to edit the template file or you can use cgen and then edit the CMakeLists.txt file after it has been generated. However, this not possible with commands like ccomp and cbin as they instantly run the code after generating the cmake files. In that case, you mest edit the template. A basic template has already been setup for you.

Commands

• cjump -> If you are in the directory of your project cjump will open the 'main' file in your project. No arguements for this commands
• clist -> clist will list every file ending with .cpp or .cc in your current directory. No arguements for this commands
• cgen -> Creates the CMakeLists.txt file (with basic configs allowing you to run instantly) as well as the src directory along with main.cpp in the src. Usage : cgen <project name>
• crun -> This will produce a binary file after you have used cgen and written in the main.cpp file. Use crun <directory name>
• cbin -> This will instantly create a binary file called cpc. Pass filename as an arguement : cbin <file path>
• cput -> Moves all files from one directory to another. Usage : cput <directory> <directory to move files to>
• ccomp -> Runs a directory of cpp files containing main.cpp and which are part of one project. Usage : ccomp <dir name>
• ctemp -> Allows you to edit the template with which CMakeLists.txt will be created. No arguements required

Notes:

• cbuild | Make sure your project name doesnt conflict with other directory names.
• cbin | This only works with single files but is faster than ccomp.
• ccomp | Make sure that you don't have a directory called qwertyu in your current dir when you're running this.
• This plugin can only be used to generate templates for binary projects not library projects.
