cmake主要生成一个Makefile文件，可以将rm添加到干净的PHONY文件中。

例如,

[root@localhost hello]# ls
CMakeCache.txt  CMakeFiles  cmake_install.cmake  CMakeLists.txt  hello  Makefile  test
[root@localhost hello]# vi Makefile
clean:
        $(MAKE) -f CMakeFiles/Makefile2 clean
        rm   -rf   *.o   *~   .depend   .*.cmd   *.mod    *.ko   *.mod.c   .tmp_versions *.symvers *.d *.markers *.order   CMakeFiles  cmake_install.cmake  CMakeCache.txt  Makefile

在Git无处不在的今天，你可能会忘记CMake，而使用Git clean -d -f -x，这将删除所有不在源代码控制下的文件。

也许它有点过时，但由于这是你谷歌cmake clean时的第一个热门，我将添加这个:

因为您可以使用指定的目标在生成目录中启动生成

Cmake——构建。——目标xyz

你当然可以跑

Cmake——构建。——目标清洁

在生成的构建文件中运行干净目标。

cmake主要生成一个Makefile文件，可以将rm添加到干净的PHONY文件中。

例如,

[root@localhost hello]# ls
CMakeCache.txt  CMakeFiles  cmake_install.cmake  CMakeLists.txt  hello  Makefile  test
[root@localhost hello]# vi Makefile
clean:
        $(MAKE) -f CMakeFiles/Makefile2 clean
        rm   -rf   *.o   *~   .depend   .*.cmd   *.mod    *.ko   *.mod.c   .tmp_versions *.symvers *.d *.markers *.order   CMakeFiles  cmake_install.cmake  CMakeCache.txt  Makefile

CMake官方常见问题解答说明:

Some build trees created with GNU autotools have a "make distclean" target that cleans the build and also removes Makefiles and other parts of the generated build system. CMake does not generate a "make distclean" target because CMakeLists.txt files can run scripts and arbitrary commands; CMake has no way of tracking exactly which files are generated as part of running CMake. Providing a distclean target would give users the false impression that it would work as expected. (CMake does generate a "make clean" target to remove files generated by the compiler and linker.) A "make distclean" target is only necessary if the user performs an in-source build. CMake supports in-source builds, but we strongly encourage users to adopt the notion of an out-of-source build. Using a build tree that is separate from the source tree will prevent CMake from generating any files in the source tree. Because CMake does not change the source tree, there is no need for a distclean target. One can start a fresh build by deleting the build tree or creating a separate build tree.

你可以这样使用:

add_custom_target(clean-cmake-files
   COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -P clean-all.cmake
)

// clean-all.cmake
set(cmake_generated ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/CMakeCache.txt
                    ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/cmake_install.cmake
                    ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/Makefile
                    ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/CMakeFiles
)

foreach(file ${cmake_generated})

  if (EXISTS ${file})
     file(REMOVE_RECURSE ${file})
  endif()

endforeach(file)

我通常创建一个“make clean-all”命令，在前面的例子中添加一个调用“make clean”:

add_custom_target(clean-all
   COMMAND ${CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL} clean
   COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -P clean-all.cmake
)

不要尝试将“clean”目标添加为依赖项:

add_custom_target(clean-all
   COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -P clean-all.cmake
   DEPENDS clean
)

因为“干净”在CMake中不是一个真正的目标，这是行不通的。

此外，你不应该使用这个“clean-cmake-files”作为任何东西的依赖:

add_custom_target(clean-all
   COMMAND ${CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL} clean
   DEPENDS clean-cmake-files
)

因为，如果你这样做，所有的CMake文件将在clean-all完成之前被擦除，make将抛出一个搜索“CMakeFiles/clean-all.dir/build.make”的错误。因此，在任何情况下，都不能在"anything"前面使用clean-all命令:

add_custom_target(clean-all
   COMMAND ${CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL} clean
   COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -P clean-all.cmake
)

这也不行。
