清除cmake构建输出:

命令行:

$ rm -rf [folder that you builded the project]/
$ cmake --build .

Cmake:

cmake --build . --target clean

CMake 3。X

CMake 3。X提供了一个“干净”的目标。

cmake --build C:/foo/build/ --target clean

来自3.0.2版本的CMake文档:

--clean-first  = Build target 'clean' first, then build.
                 (To clean only, use --target 'clean'.)

CMake 2。X

在cmake版本2中没有cmake clean。X

我通常在一个类似“build”的文件夹中构建项目。如果我想弄清楚，我可以rm -rf构建。

在与根目录“CMakeLists.txt”相同的目录中的“build”文件夹通常是一个不错的选择。要构建你的项目，你只需要把CMakeLists.txt文件的位置作为参数给cmake。例如:cd <location-of-cmakelists>/build && cmake…(从@ComicSansMS)

为了简化使用“源外”构建时的清理(即在构建目录中构建)，我使用以下脚本:

$ cat ~/bin/cmake-clean-build
#!/bin/bash

if [ -d ../build ]; then
    cd ..
    rm -rf build
    mkdir build
    cd build
else
    echo "build directory DOES NOT exist"
fi

每次你需要清理时，你应该从build目录中获取这个脚本:

. cmake-clean-build

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.

有趣的是，这个问题得到了如此多的关注和复杂的解决方案，这确实表明了cmake没有一个干净的方法的痛苦。

好吧，你当然可以cd build_work来做你的工作，然后在你需要清理的时候做一个rm -rf *。然而，rm -rf *是一个危险的命令，因为许多人通常不知道他们在哪个目录中。

如果你cd ..， rm -rf build_work，然后mkdir build_work，然后CD build_work，输入太多了。

所以一个好的解决方案是远离build文件夹，告诉cmake路径: 配置:cmake -B build_work 要构建:cmake—build build_work 安装方法:cmake—install build_work 清理:rm -rf build_work 重建build文件夹:你甚至不需要mkdir build_work，只需配置cmake -B build_work即可。

我同意外部构建是最好的答案。但是当你必须在源代码内构建的时候，我写了一个Python脚本，可以在这里使用，它:

运行“make clean” 在顶级目录中删除特定的cmake生成的文件，例如CMakeCache.txt 对于每个包含CMakeFiles目录的子目录，它会删除CMakeFiles, Makefile, cmake_install.cmake。 删除所有空子目录。
