Working with CMake

Besides the games/ and examples/ that are built along raylib by default, there's also a sample CMake project at projects/CMake:

cd projects/CMake # You can also just download the CMakeLists.txt and the core_basic_window.c file separately
mkdir build       # Create an out-of-tree build directory. That way build artifacts aren't mixed with source code
cd build          # enter it
cmake ..          # run cmake on the parent directory
cmake --build .   # kick off the build process

The CMakeLists.txt is self contained and will arrange to probe whether raylib has been installed and if not, it's downloaded, built and linked statically into the core_basic_window example application.

If you want to conserve bandwidth by not downloading raylib for each project, consider installing raylib systemwide by running cmake --build . --target install in the raylib build directory.

Use from within an IDE

CMake supports a range of generators, which can be used to generate project files for IDEs/Build-Tools such as Visual Studio, Ninja or Sublime Text 2. e.g. for Xcode you can run cmake -G 'Xcode' .. to have it generate project files for import into Xcode.
