There must not be two configure presets in the union of CMakePresets.jsonĪnd CMakeUserPresets.json in the same directory with the same name. This identifier is used in the cmake -preset option. That may contain the following fields: nameĪ required string representing the machine-friendly name of the preset.

Configure Preset ¶Įach entry of the configurePresets array is a JSON object The files are a JSON document with an object as the root: Project is using Git, CMakePresets.json may be tracked, andĬMakeUserPresets.json should be added to the. CMakePresets.json is meant to specify project-wide buildĭetails, while CMakeUserPresets.json is meant for developers to specifyĬMakePresets.json may be checked into a version control system, andĬMakeUserPresets.json should NOT be checked in.

Specify common configure options and share them with others. CMake supports two main files,ĬMakePresets.json and CMakeUserPresets.json, that allow users to Or for users who frequently use the same build. One problem that CMake users often face is sharing settings with other peopleįor common ways to configure a project.
