[[intro]]
Introduction
------------
CMake has a number of build in build configurations which can be used to compile
your project. These specify the optimization levels and if debug information is
to be included in the binary.
The levels provided are:
* Release - Adds the `-O3 -DNDEBUG` flags to the compiler
* Debug - Adds the `-g` flag
* MinSizeRel - Adds `-Os -DNDEBUG`
* RelWithDebInfo - Adds `-O2 -g -DNDEBUG` flags
Shows a hello world example which first creates and links a static library
The files in this tutorial are below:

* CMakeLists.txt - Contains the CMake commands you wish to run
* main.cpp - The source file with main

Set Build Type
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The build type can be set using the following methods.
- Using a gui tool such as ccmake / cmake-gui
image::cmake-gui-build-type.png[cmake-gui build type]
- Passing into cmake
[source,cmake]
----
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
----
[[set-default]]
Set Default Build Type
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The default build type provided by CMake is to include no compiler flags for
optimization. For some projects you may want to
set a default build type so that you do not have to remember to set it.
To do this you can add the following to your top level CMakeLists.txt
[source,cmake]
----
if(NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE AND NOT CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES)
message("Setting build type to 'RelWithDebInfo' as none was specified.")
set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE RelWithDebInfo CACHE STRING "Choose the type of build." FORCE)
# Set the possible values of build type for cmake-gui
set_property(CACHE CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE PROPERTY STRINGS "Debug" "Release"
"MinSizeRel" "RelWithDebInfo")
endif()
----
When creating an executable that will use your library you must tell the compiler
about the library. This can be done using the +target_link_library()+ function.
