-# Advanced Customization - -Beyond the configurations described in the -[Configuring CMake Templates](configuring-cmake.html) section, -you can provide some advanced configurations. - -This section describes how you can include additional CMake files -and custom template scripts. - -## Including Additional CMake Files - -You can include machine and system custom CMake files and -operating system custom CMake files. - -### Machine and System Custom CMake Files - -Advanced configuration is possible by automatically including -additional CMake files from specific locations. -Following are the locations from which you can add CMake -files. -Inclusions occur in the order shown here: - -- `<project-root-path>/conf.d/app-templates/cmake/cmake.d` - normally located CMake project files -- `$HOME/.config/app-templates/cmake.d` - the home location -- `/etc/app-templates/cmake.d` - the system location - -The CMake files you include must be named using either of the following conventions: - -- `XX-common*.cmake` -- `XX-${PROJECT_NAME}*.cmake` - -In both formats, `XX` are numbers and indicate the order in which the file -is included. -The `*` character represents the filename. - -When naming the file, consider the projects in which the file needs to be -included. -If you want to include the file in all projects, use the keyword `common`. -If you want to include the file in a specific project, use the `${PROJECT_NAME}` -value. - -For example, if you want a CMake file whose name is `my_custom_file` -included first and you want it included in all projects, name the file -`01-common-my_custom_file.cmake`. -If you want the same file included in a single project defined by the -`PROJECT_NAME` variable, and you want it included after all other files, -name the file `99-${PROJECT_NAME}-my_custom_file.cmake`. - -When you include CMake files that use CMake variables, the values override -variables with the same name. -The exception to this rule is if you use a cached variable. -Following is an example: - -```cmake -set(VARIABLE_NAME 'value string random' CACHE STRING 'docstring') -``` - -In this example, the `VARIABLE_NAME` variable is defined as a cached -variable by using the **CACHE** keyword. -Consequently, `VARIABLE_NAME` does not get overridden as a result of -including a CMake file that sets the same variable. - -### Operating System Custom CMake Files - -Including custom CMake files based on the operating system -lets you personalize a project depending on the operating system -you are using. - -At the end of the `config.cmake` file `common.cmake` includes -CMake files to customize your project build depending on your platform. -The operating system is detected by using `/etc/os-release`, -which is the default method used in almost all Linux distributions. -Consequently, you can use the value of field **ID_LIKE** to -add a CMake file for that distribution. -The file comes from your `conf.d/cmake/` directory or relatively -from your `app-templates` submodule path `app-templates/../cmake/`. - -**NOTE:** If the **ID_LIKE** field does not exist, you can use the -**ID** field. - -Files that you add must be named according to the following file naming -convention: - -- `XX-${OSRELEASE}*.cmake` - -In the naming convention, `XX` represents numbers and is the order in which -you want a file included. -The ${OSRELEASE} value is taken from either the **ID_LIKE** or **ID** field -of the `/etc/os-release` file. - -You can also configure a CMake file to be included in cases where no -specific operating system can be found. -To do so, name your CMake file as follows: - -- `XX-default*.cmake` - -A good use case example for these two naming conventions is when you have -a several Linux distributions and all but one can use the same module. -For that case, name one CMake file using the `${OSRELEASE}` value and -name the CMake file to be used with the other distributions using -the `XX-default*.cmake` method. - -## Including Custom Template Scripts - -You can include your own custom template scripts that are passed to the -CMake command `configure_file`. - -Just create your own script and place it in either of the following directories: - -- `$HOME/.config/app-templates/scripts` - the home location -- `/etc/app-templates/scripts` - the system location - -Scripts only need to use the extension `.in` to be parsed and configured by -CMake. |
