modern-cmake/examples/extended-project

This is an example project using CMake.

The requirements are:

• CMake 3.11 or better; 3.14+ highly recommended.
• A C++17 compatible compiler
• The Boost libararies (header only part is fine)
• Git
• Doxygen (optional)

To configure:

cmake -S . -B build

Add -GNinja if you have Ninja.

To build:

cmake --build build

To test (--target can be written as -t in CMake 3.15+):

cmake --build build --target test

To build docs (requires Doxygen, output in build/docs/html):

cmake --build build --target docs

To use an IDE, such as Xcode:

cmake -S . -B xbuild -GXcode
cmake --open xbuild

The CMakeLists show off several useful design patters for CMake.
