# cmake-precompiled-header

Precompiled header setup for CMake. Supported CMake generators:

  * Visual Studio

  * NMake Makefiles

  * Unix Makefiles (GCC)

  * MinGW Makefiles

  * MSYS Makefiles

  * Ninja

# Usage

Create a `pchheader.{c,cpp}` and `pchheader.h` and add then to the CMake target:

```cmake

add_library(target ... pchheader.cpp pchheeader.h)

```

`pchheader.h` can include all the huge header files that are used everywhere in your project:

```c

#include 

#include 

#include 

#include 

```

`pchheader.{c,cpp}` should just include the header file:

```c

#include "pchheader.h"

```

In your main `CMakeLists.txt`, include the macro file:

```cmake

include(PrecompiledHeader.cmake)

```

Then add this line, to set up precompiled headers:

```cmake

add_precompiled_header(target pchheader.h FORCEINCLUDE)

```

Additional documentation is in [PrecompiledHeader.cmake](PrecompiledHeader.cmake).
