Modern CMake Template

Template for projects based on modern CMake practices.

Components:

  • app.
  • libs/lib1.
  • libs/lib1/tests.

See How to Use Modern CMake for an App + Lib Project for more information.

Usage

Create the build directory and configure the build system:

cmake -B build # Or `cmake -D BUILD_TESTING=OFF -B build` to skip tests. 

Build the project:

cmake --build build

Inspect the build directory to find the application and the tests.

Optionally, run the tests with ctest by typing:

cmake -E chdir build ctest
