Unix Makefiles — CMake 4.4.1 Documentation

# Unix Makefiles

Generates standard UNIX makefiles.

A hierarchy of UNIX makefiles is generated into the build tree. Use any standard UNIX-style make program to build the project through the `all` target and install the project through the `install` (or `install/strip`) target.

For each subdirectory `sub/dir` of the project a UNIX makefile will be created, containing the following targets:

`all`

  Depends on all targets required by the subdirectory.

`install`

  Runs the install step in the subdirectory, if any.

`install/strip`

  Runs the install step in the subdirectory followed by a `CMAKE_STRIP` command, if any.

  The `CMAKE_STRIP` variable will contain the platform's `strip` utility, which removes symbols information from generated binaries.

`test`

  Runs the test step in the subdirectory, if any.

`package`

  Runs the package step in the subdirectory, if any.
