CMake is a powerful tool used to perform a wide variety of tasks, so finding a good starting point for learning CMake is difficult. This book cuts to the core and covers the most common tasks that can be accomplished with CMake without taking an academic approach. While the CMake documentation is comprehensive, it is often hard to find good examples of how things fit together, especially since there are lots of dirty hacks and obsolete solutions available on the internet. This book focuses on helping you to tie things together and create clean and maintainable projects with CMake.
You'll not only get to grips with the basics but also work through real-world examples of structuring large and complex maintainable projects and creating builds that run in any programming environment. You'll understand the steps to integrate and automate various tools for improving the overall software quality, such as testing frameworks, fuzzers, and automatic generation of documentation. And since writing code is only half of the work, the book also guides you in creating installers and packaging and distributing your software. All this is tailored to modern development workflows that make heavy use of CI/CD infrastructure.
By the end of this CMake book, you'll be able to set up and maintain complex software projects using CMake in the best way possible.
Explore a compendium of tips, tricks, and techniques for leveraging CMake and empowering your software development workflow.Key FeaturesUnderstand what CMake is, how it works, and how to interact with itDiscover how to properly create and maintain well-structured CMake projectsExplore tools and techniques to get the most out of your CMake projectBook DescriptionCMake is a powerful tool used to perform a wide variety of tasks, so finding a good starting point for learning CMake is difficult.
