How to add cpplint.py check into CMake?

Question

I am a newbie in CMake.

In my previous complie tools waf. it provide me a cpplint.py script that can check cpp source file's format, and make complie failed if the format is not good.

but i want to switch to Cmake. I googled this, but seems still cant make it work.

Can anyone tell me how to run cpplint.py when i make by cmake?

it will be of great help for me if you can list an example.

Thanks a lot

The first output of googling for "cmake cpplint" gives that question. Have you checked it? — Tsyvarev

Please, edit the question post and describe what exactly have you tried: the code and the behavior which contradicts to your expectations. Also, specify which CMake version do you use: e.g. variable CMAKE_CXX_CPPLINT appears only in CMake 3.8. — Tsyvarev

I recommend to not try to run the linter through cmake and to instead keep cmake purely for building. You could for example use a shell script to run both linter and build in one command:

#!/bin/sh

set -e   # makes script fail if any subprocess fails

python cpplint.py OPTIONS
cmake OPTIONS
cmake --build OPTIONS
