My makefile looks like this and I translated it to cmake:

CC = gcc
GIT_VERSION := $(shell git describe --abbrev=4 --dirty --always --tags)
CFLAGS := $(CFLAGS) -L/usr/local/include/ -L/usr/include -pedantic -std=c99 -Wall -O3 -g -DVERSION=\"$(GIT_VERSION)\" -ledit -lncurses

LDIRS = -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib
LIBS =su -lcurses
USERNAME := $(shell whoami >> username.txt)
GIT:= $(shell head -n -2 openshell.h > temp.txt ; mv temp.txt openshell.h;git describe --abbrev=4 --dirty --always --tags > VERSION; echo "\#define VERSION \"$(GIT_VERSION)\"\n\#endif" >> openshell.h)
shell: main.o
    $(CC) -o shell main.o errors.c util.c -ledit -lncurses -lcurses

main.o: main.c errors.c util.c


.PHONY: clean
clean:
    rm -f *.o

Building it today is clean:

$ make clean
rm -f *.o
dac@dac-Latitude-E7450:~/osh$ make
gcc  -L/usr/local/include/ -L/usr/include -pedantic -std=c99 -Wall -O3 -g -DVERSION=\"v0.160505-4-gd549-dirty\" -ledit -lncurses   -c -o main.o main.c
gcc -o shell main.o errors.c util.c -ledit -lncurses -lcurses
dac@dac-Latitude-E7450:~/osh$ 

cmake:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.12)
project(openshell)
set(CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE on)
file(GLOB SOURCES "./*.c")
set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -L/usr/local/include/ -L/usr/include -std=c11 -pedantic -O3 -g -Wall -pedantic -ledit -lncurses -lcurses -ltermcap")
include_directories(/usr/local/include/ /usr/include)
link_directories(/usr/lib)
link_directories(/usr/local/ib)
add_executable(openshell ${SOURCES})
target_link_libraries(openshell edit readline)

Building with cmake results in success:

My custom build script is this one which uses make and runs the tests with Valgrind so that I can check if I get data alignment errors (segfaults) or memory leaks (less important than segfaults).

I could use better test cases since I only took like random commands and entered them to test non-trivial input and execution.

\$\begingroup\$

The documentation for CMake urges you not to use glob to detect every source file. The reasoning behind it is this: if you add a file it will not detect it. You will have to rerun CMake manually every time you add or remove source files.

If that is acceptable to you, then it is okay to use globbing, just be advised that it is generally not considered a good practice.

Your makefile explicitly listed the sources.

Typically, one uses set to set a variable, then uses that variable in add_executable

set(SHELL_SOURCES
    main.c
    errors.c
    util.c
)
...
add_executable(shell ${SHELL_SOURCES})

This is a good opportunity to point out that you can add more than just source code to that list. If you use CMake to generate a project for an IDE, you will usually want to add extra files that aren't really source, like TODO.txt, or glsl shaders that are only used at runtime. You can add those files to your sources list, and any non-compiled ones will be handled properly and only added to the project file when cmake configures a project. This way, those extra files will be convenient to open, just like the source files. For the same reason, you probably want to add your header files to the list as well. It won't affect compilation, but it will make them appear in an IDE when one generates a project.
