我用zsxwing的答案成功解决了以下问题:

我有在多个主机上构建的源代码(在Raspberry Pi Linux板上，在VMware Linux虚拟机上，等等)。

我有一个Bash脚本，根据机器的主机名创建临时目录，就像这样:

# Get hostname to use as part of directory names
HOST_NAME=`uname -n`

# Create a temporary directory for cmake files so they don't
# end up all mixed up with the source.

TMP_DIR="cmake.tmp.$HOSTNAME"

if [ ! -e $TMP_DIR ] ; then
  echo "Creating directory for cmake tmp files : $TMP_DIR"
  mkdir $TMP_DIR
else
  echo "Reusing cmake tmp dir : $TMP_DIR"
fi

# Create makefiles with CMake
#
# Note: switch to the temporary dir and build parent 
#       which is a way of making cmake tmp files stay
#       out of the way.
#
# Note 2: to clean up cmake files, it is OK to
#        "rm -rf" the temporary directories

echo
echo Creating Makefiles with cmake ...

cd $TMP_DIR

cmake ..

# Run makefile (in temporary directory)

echo
echo Starting build ...

make

我在谷歌上搜索了大约半个小时，我想到的唯一有用的东西是调用find实用程序:

# Find and then delete all files under current directory (.) that:
#  1. contains "cmake" (case-&insensitive) in its path (wholename)
#  2. name is not CMakeLists.txt
find . -iwholename '*cmake*' -not -name CMakeLists.txt -delete

此外，确保在此之前调用make clean(或您正在使用的任何CMake生成器)。

:)

如果你跑了

cmake .

它将重新生成CMake文件。如果您将一个新文件添加到由*选择的源文件夹中，这是必需的。比如Cc。

虽然这本身不是“清理”，但它通过重新生成缓存来“清理”CMake文件。

这是我用的。它被包装在一个函数中，它是跨平台的，它演示了如何找到匹配的文件名或文件夹名，以防你想做任何简单的调整。这个函数在我每次构建脚本时都运行，并且完美地满足了我的需求。

function(DELETE_CACHE)
    if(CMAKE_HOST_WIN32)
        execute_process(COMMAND cmd /c for /r %%i in (CMakeCache.*) do del "%%i" WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR})
        execute_process(COMMAND cmd /c for /d /r %%i in (*CMakeFiles*) do rd /s /q "%%i" WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR})
    else()
        execute_process(COMMAND find . -name "CMakeCache.*" -delete WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR})
        execute_process(COMMAND "rm -rf `find . -type d -name CMakeFiles`" WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR})
    endif()
endfunction()

当然，外部构建是Unix makefile的首选方法，但如果您使用的是其他生成器，如Eclipse CDT，它更喜欢您构建内源。在这种情况下，您需要手动清除CMake文件。试试这个:

find . -name 'CMakeCache.txt' -o -name '*.cmake' -o -name 'Makefile' -o -name 'CMakeFiles' -exec rm -rf {} +

或者，如果你已经通过shop -s globstar启用了globstar，试试这个不那么恶心的方法:

rm -rf **/CMakeCache.txt **/*.cmake **/Makefile **/CMakeFiles

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.
