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.

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.
