cmake_min_version

Every CMake project requires a call to cmake_minimum_required to set the minimally required CMake version. However, CMake gives no guidance what this version may be, and a lot of projects just take the current CMake version or whatever the IDE is proposing as default. This is a problem, because some platforms don't always provide the latest CMake version, and a lot of trial and error is needed before projects can be used.

cmake_min_version is a script to determine the minimal working version of CMake for a given project. It does not do any magic, but just performs a binary search using a pool of CMake binaries and basically implements the "trial and error" in an efficient way.

Example

Assume ~/projects/example contains a project with a CMakeLists.txt file. Then the following call determines the minimal working version of CMake:

❯ venv/bin/python cmake_min_version.py ~/projects/example

Found 94 CMake binaries from directory tools

[  0%] CMake 3.9.2    ✔ works
[ 12%] CMake 3.2.2    ✘ error
       CMakeLists.txt:7 (cmake_minimum_required)
[ 33%] CMake 3.8.0    ✔ works
[ 50%] CMake 3.7.1    ✘ error
       CMakeLists.txt:16 (target_compile_features)
[ 80%] CMake 3.7.2    ✘ error
       CMakeLists.txt:16 (target_compile_features)
[100%] Minimal working version: CMake 3.8.0

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.8.0)

As a result, ~/projects/example/CMakeLists.txt could be adjusted to require CMake 3.8.0.

FAQ

  • Q: Isn't this a rather naive and inefficent approach to achieve the goal?
  • A: Yes, but I am currently not aware of a better one. I would be happy to replace this repository with a link on a tool that achieves the same goal.

Setup

In a nutshell

  1. Install a Python virtual requirement.
  2. Download CMake binaries.

Virtual Environment

The code requires some packages to be installed:

python3 -mvenv venv
venv/bin/pip3 install -r requirements.txt

CMake binaries

The script cmake_downloader.py takes care of downloading CMake binaries:

usage: cmake_downloader.py [-h] [--os {macos,linux}] [--latest_release]
                           [--latest_patch] [--first_minor]
                           [--release_candidates] [--tools_directory DIR]

Download CMake binaries.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --os {macos,linux}    OS to download CMake for (default: macos)
  --latest_release      only download the latest release (default: False)
  --latest_patch        only download the latest patch version for each
                        release (default: False)
  --first_minor         only download the first minor version for each release
                        (default: False)
  --release_candidates  also consider release candidates (default: False)
  --tools_directory DIR
                        path to the CMake binaries (default: "tools")

Example run:

❯ venv/bin/python3 cmake_downloader.py --latest_patch
