A comprehensive example project demonstrating various CMake features and best practices for building C/C++ projects.
CMake Example is a demonstration project that showcases various features and configurations of the CMake build system. It provides practical examples of how to set up builds, run tests with CTest, and integrate with CDash dashboards for C/C++ projects. The project serves as an educational resource for developers learning CMake best practices.
C/C++ developers and build engineers who want to learn CMake configuration, particularly those transitioning from other build systems or looking to implement testing and continuous integration workflows.
Developers choose this project because it provides real, working examples of CMake features in a single cohesive project, saving time compared to piecing together documentation from multiple sources. It demonstrates professional-grade configurations that can be adapted directly to production projects.
Example project which demonstrates various CMake features.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Shows multi-platform builds, CTest integration, and CDash support in a single project, as evidenced by the README commands for building, testing, and installing.
Provides real-world CMake setups following modern best practices, saving time compared to piecing together scattered documentation.
Illustrates separate targets for compilation, testing, and installation phases, enhancing project organization and workflow clarity.
Includes configuration for submitting test results to CDash dashboards, facilitating continuous integration monitoring as mentioned in the README.
The project is a demonstration with trivial code, so it doesn't show how to integrate CMake with complex, real-world C/C++ projects.
The README is brief and lacks detailed explanations, making it less accessible for complete beginners without prior CMake experience.
As a demo, it might not be actively updated with the latest CMake features or versions, risking obsolescence for new projects.
