IXM is a CMake library to help reduce the amount of toil required to perform common operations within a CMake based project, so they can focus more on writing their code, and less on managing their CMake.
This means:
- Reducing the amount of CMake written across multiple projects.
- Not forcing CDash features onto the rest of us.
- Setting reasonable defaults found in most CMake projects.
- A large focus on generator expressions and properties to speed up configuration times.
- Better tooling integration with Protobuf, gRPC, Doxygen, and more!
- Better GitHub Actions integration.
- Easier to write
find_packagefiles.
Using IXM is very simple, as you can rely on the FetchContent feature
provided by CMake. IXM uses a custom URL to shorten the FetchContent_Declare
call.
