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。

如果您有自定义定义，并希望在清理之前保存它们，请在构建目录中运行以下命令:

sed -ne '/variable specified on the command line/{n;s/.*/-D \0 \\/;p}' CMakeCache.txt

然后创建一个新的构建目录(或删除旧的构建目录并重新创建它)，最后使用上面脚本获得的参数运行cmake。

简单地发布rm CMakeCache.txt也适用于我。

为此，我使用以下shell脚本:

#!/bin/bash

for fld in $(find -name "CMakeLists.txt" -printf '%h ')
do
    for cmakefile in CMakeCache.txt cmake_install.cmake CTestTestfile.cmake CMakeFiles Makefile
    do
        rm -rfv $fld/$cmakefile
    done
done

如果您使用的是Windows，则使用Cygwin来执行此脚本。

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.

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
