Configuring autocmake.cfg
=========================
The script ``autocmake.cfg`` is the high level place where you configure
your project. Here is an example. We will discuss it in detail further
below::
[project]
name: numgrid
[fc]
source: https://github.com/scisoft/autocmake/raw/master/modules/fc_optional.cmake
[cc]
source: https://github.com/scisoft/autocmake/raw/master/modules/cc.cmake
[cxx]
source: https://github.com/scisoft/autocmake/raw/master/modules/cxx.cmake
[flags]
source: https://github.com/scisoft/autocmake/raw/master/compilers/GNU.CXX.cmake
https://github.com/scisoft/autocmake/raw/master/compilers/Intel.CXX.cmake
[coverage]
source: https://github.com/scisoft/autocmake/raw/master/modules/code_coverage.cmake
[safeguards]
source: https://github.com/scisoft/autocmake/raw/master/modules/safeguards.cmake
[default_build_paths]
source: https://github.com/scisoft/autocmake/raw/master/modules/default_build_paths.cmake
[src]
source: https://github.com/scisoft/autocmake/raw/master/modules/src.cmake
[googletest]
source: https://github.com/scisoft/autocmake/raw/master/modules/googletest.cmake
[custom]
source: custom/api.cmake
custom/test.cmake
Name and order of sections
--------------------------
We see that the configuration file has sections.
The only section where the name matters is ``[project]``::
[project]
name: numgrid
This is where we define the project name (here "numgrid"). Every project needs
at least this section and this section has to be called "project".
The names of the other sections do not matter to Autocmake. You can name them like this::
[project]
name: numgrid
[one]
source: https://github.com/scisoft/autocmake/raw/master/modules/fc_optional.cmake
[two]
source: https://github.com/scisoft/autocmake/raw/master/modules/cc.cmake
[whatever]
source: https://github.com/scisoft/autocmake/raw/master/modules/cxx.cmake
But it is much better to choose names that are meaningful to you.
The order of the sections does matter and the sections will be processed in the
exact order as you specify them in ``autocmake.cfg``.
