cmake

Guide agents through modern (target-first) CMake for C/C++ projects: out-of-source builds, dependency management, generator selection, and integration with CI and IDEs.

Build: cmake -DENABLEASAN=ON -S . -B build-asan && cmake --build build-asan

| Could not find package Foo | Package not installed or wrong prefix | Install dev package; set CMAKEPREFIXPATH | | No CMAKECXXCOMPILER | No C++ compiler found | Install g++/clang++; check PATH | | targetlinklibraries called with wrong number of arguments | Missing PUBLIC/PRIVATE/INTERFACE | Add the keyword |

CMake build system skill for C/C++ projects. Use when writing or refactoring CMakeLists.txt, configuring out-of-source builds, selecting generators (Ninja, Make, VS), managing targets and dependencies with target_link_libraries, integrating external packages via find_package or FetchContent, enabling sanitizers, setting up toolchain files for cross-compilation, or exporting CMake packages. Activates on queries about CMakeLists.txt, cmake configure errors, target properties, install rules, CPack, or CMake presets. Source: mohitmishra786/low-level-dev-skills.
