Dependencies

• bash, curl, tar: generic POSIX utilities.
• optional Qt installation if compiling from source and wanting cmake-gui

Install

Plugin:

asdf plugin add cmake https://github.com/asdf-community/asdf-cmake.git

cmake:

# Show all installable versions
asdf list-all cmake

# Install specific version
asdf install cmake latest

# Set a version globally (on your ~/.tool-versions file)
asdf global cmake latest

# Now cmake commands are available
cmake --version

Check asdf readme for more instructions on how to install & manage versions.

cmake-gui

Binary installations include cmake-gui by default.

If installing from source, and you have Qt installed on your machine you can get the cmake-gui program built by providing the path to the Qt binary directory in the QTBINDIR environment variable when invoking asdf install cmake.

For instance, on a Mac with Qt installed using brew that would be :

QTBINDIR=/usr/local/opt/qt/bin asdf install cmake

Configuration

A few environment variables can affect this plugin:

• ASDF_CMAKE_FORCE_SOURCE_INSTALL: Set to 1 to force a source-based installation instead of using a pre-compiled binary, even if a binary release is available.
• QTBINDIR: Set to your Qt installation to build cmake-gui, if CMake is being built from source.
