Building

Requirements

In order to build modules is required CMake version 3.28 or higher.

The list of generators which support scanning sources for C++ modules include:

• Ninja
• Ninja Multi-Config
• Visual Studio 17 2022

Compilers which CMake natively supports module dependency scanning include:

• MSVC toolset 14.34 and newer (provided with Visual Studio 17.4 and newer)
• LLVM/Clang 16.0 and newer
• GCC 14 (for the in-development branch, after 2023-09-20) and newer

Building with Ninja

cmake -G Ninja -B build/ -S . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Debug|Release|RelWithDebInfo|MinSizeRel]

cmake --build build/

Building with Visual Studio (MSVC)

cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -B build/ -S .

cmake --build build/ --config [Debug|Release|RelWithDebInfo|MinSizeRel]
