CMake tutorial

This git repository contains the source code used during my presentation on CMake

Each tag represents a different stage during the tutorial and are numbered.

Building project

List the tags

$ cd /SOMEPATH/
$ git clone https://github.com/delcypher/cmake-tutorial source
$ cd source
$ git tag -l

pick the stage of the project you're interested in

$ git checkout <tagname>

Now let's build. We'll do an out of source build of course!

$ cd /SOMEPATH/
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ../source
$ make

Note the 0th tag doesn't build because there is no CMake build system present at that time.

Tips

• Remember you can use ccmake or cmake-gui instead of the cmake command. These commands make it easier to discover and set available build options.

• Remember you don't have to use make. You can use many different build systems (e.g. Ninja) by setting the generator using the -G flag or by using the GUI in cmake-gui.
