A simple CMake shell script wrapper script. The script performs an out-of-source build and is designed to cope with debug and release build configurations.

build.sh

    echo "  -h : Display this message"
    echo "  -t : Specify build configuration (default: debug)"
    echo "  -c : Perform clean of configuration specified in the -r parameter"
}
