FRUT makes it easy to build `JUCE`_ projects using `CMake`_ instead of `Projucer`_. It

enables more flexibility in project architecture, simplified CI setup, and easier

integration with other JUCE and non-JUCE projects. Converting an existing JUCE project to

FRUT is easy, and you don't need to be a CMake expert to use it!



**In short**



- *Requirements*



  - CMake (3.4 minimum, or `higher depending on the target platform

    <#supported-projucer-exporters>`__)

  - JUCE (4.2.0 minimum)



- *Supported platforms*



  - iOS

  - Linux

  - macOS

  - Windows (MSVC and MinGW)



- *Documentation* - https://frut.readthedocs.io

- *Contributing*



  - Contributions are welcome! See `CONTRIBUTING.md`_ for more details.

  - `All contributors are recognized <#contributors>`__

Background

----------



`JUCE`_ comes with its own project generation tool, `Projucer`_, which is very useful when

starting a JUCE project. However, Projucer doesn't scale well when you want to make some

aspects of your project configurable, when you want to add external libraries, when you

want to use Continuous Integration, or when you want to manage several projects at once.



FRUT was created to overcome these limitations, while making it very easy to migrate an

existing JUCE project that uses Projucer. Since FRUT is based on `CMake`_, you also get

access to many great features of CMake, including `testing

`__ and `packaging

`__ utilities.



Contents

--------



FRUT currently contains:



- ``Jucer2CMake``, a console application that converts ``.jucer`` project files into

  ready-to-use ``CMakeLists.txt`` files,



- ``Reprojucer.cmake``, a CMake module that provides high-level functions to reproduce

  how a JUCE project is defined in Projucer,



- several ``CMakeLists.txt`` files generated from existing ``.jucer`` project files,

  including:



  - ``examples`` and ``extras`` projects from `JUCE 4.2.0`_ (in `generated/JUCE-4.2.0`_)

  - ``examples`` and ``extras`` projects from `JUCE 4.3.1`_ (in `generated/JUCE-4.3.1`_)

  - ``examples`` and ``extras`` projects from `JUCE 5.0.0`_ (in `generated/JUCE-5.0.0`_)

  - ``examples`` and ``extras`` projects from `JUCE 5.2.1`_ (in `generated/JUCE-5.2.1`_)

  - ``examples`` and ``extras`` projects from `JUCE 5.3.1`_ (in `generated/JUCE-5.3.1`_)

  - ``examples`` and ``extras`` projects from `JUCE 5.4.3`_ (in `generated/JUCE-5.4.3`_)

  - ``examples`` and ``extras`` projects from `JUCE 5.4.7`_ (in `generated/JUCE-5.4.7`_)

  - ``examples`` and ``extras`` projects from `JUCE 6.0.5`_ (in `generated/JUCE-6.0.5`_)

  - ``examples`` and ``extras`` projects from `JUCE 6.1.6`_ (in `generated/JUCE-6.1.6`_)

  - ``examples`` and ``extras`` projects from `JUCE 7.0.7`_ (in `generated/JUCE-7.0.7`_)



Requirements

------------



- CMake, version 3.4 minimum

- JUCE, version 4.2.0 minimum



Supported Projucer exporters

----------------------------



``Jucer2CMake`` and ``Reprojucer.cmake`` support the following Projucer exporters (also

known as "export targets"):

Documentation

-------------



You can read the documentation of FRUT on Read the Docs: https://frut.readthedocs.io



Getting started

---------------



Let's consider that you have a copy of `JUCE`_, a copy of `FRUT`_ and a JUCE project

called ``MyGreatProject`` following this folder structure: ::



  

  β”œβ”€β”€ FRUT/

  β”œβ”€β”€ JUCE/

  └── MyGreatProject/

      β”œβ”€β”€ Source/

      └── MyGreatProject.jucer



We first build and install FRUT with CMake: ::



  $ cd /FRUT/



  $ mkdir build && cd build/



  $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="../prefix" -DJUCE_ROOT="../../JUCE"

  ...

  -- Configuring done

  -- Generating done

  -- Build files have been written to: /FRUT/build



  $ cmake --build . --target install

  # or

  $ cmake --build . --target install --parallel  # with CMake 3.12 or later

  ...



If it fails to build and install, please report the problem by creating a new issue on

GitHub: https://github.com/McMartin/FRUT/issues/new.



Then we convert ``MyGreatProject.jucer`` to a new ``CMakeLists.txt`` file: ::



  $ cd /MyGreatProject/



  $ ../FRUT/prefix/FRUT/bin/Jucer2CMake reprojucer MyGreatProject.jucer ../FRUT/prefix/FRUT/cmake/Reprojucer.cmake



  /MyGreatProject/CMakeLists.txt has been successfully generated.



Now we can build ``MyGreatProject`` using CMake: ::



  $ cd /MyGreatProject/



  $ mkdir build && cd build/



  $ cmake .. -G

  ...

  -- Configuring done

  -- Generating done

  -- Build files have been written to: /MyGreatProject/build



  $ cmake --build .

  # or

  $ cmake --build . -- -parallelizeTargets  # when  is Xcode

  # or

  $ cmake --build . --parallel  # with CMake 3.12 or later

  ...



```` can be one of many `CMake Generators`_ supported by your platform,

including Ninja, NMake Makefiles (on Windows), Unix Makefiles (on Linux and macOS), Visual

Studio 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2022 (on Windows), and Xcode (on macOS).

anything about CMake. See the `CONTRIBUTING.md`_ file for more details.
