Working with CMake

Requiring raylib to be installed

If you know that anyone who builds your project, has raylib already installed, a simple CMakeLists.txt could look like this:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.15)
project(my_project)

find_package(raylib 2.5.0 REQUIRED) # Requires at least version 2.5.0

set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD 11)

add_executable(my_project main.c)

target_link_libraries(my_project raylib)

To build, use these commands:

mkdir build # Create a build directory
cd build && cmake .. # Build from that directory so the build files are in one place
cmake --build . # Build the project

Loading raylib inside cmake

If you want someone who builds your project to be able to download and build raylib with it, the CMakeLists.txt at projects/CMake will help you.

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.
