In C++ project development, the build process can often be cumbersome, especially in cross-platform development. Today, I would like to introduce a powerful build tool—CMake. 1. What is CMake CMake is a cross-platform automated build tool widely used in C++ projects. It is primarily used to manage the software compilation process by controlling the compilation … Read more
1. The Role of CMake in Real Life In modern software development, CMake plays a crucial role. It is a cross-platform build tool that helps developers efficiently manage and build software projects. First, CMake provides a unified way to describe the build process of a project, ensuring consistency regardless of whether the project is developed … Read more

Introduction: This note will introduce some basic concepts through a small project, which will also be used in later notes. Installing files, libraries, and executables is a very basic task, but it can also bring some issues. This note demonstrates how to effectively avoid these problems using CMake. ✦ Project Structure ✦ ├── CMakeLists.txt ├── … Read more
Introduction: In previous examples, we have used if-else-endif. CMake also provides language tools for creating loops: foreach-endforeach and while-endwhile. Both can be combined with break to exit the loop early. This article also serves as the conclusion of the first chapter, marking our official entry into learning CMake. ✦ Project Structure ✦ . ├── cal_add.h … Read more
1. What is CMake? According to Baidu, CMake is a cross-platform installation (compilation) tool that can describe the installation (compilation process) of all platforms with simple statements. It can output various makefiles or project files. In simple terms, it is a tool that generates corresponding compilation scripts based on different platforms. 2. How to use … Read more
GCC programming refers to programming languages based on the GCC compiler. You can design programs in any language that GCC supports. As can be seen from the image above, GCC programming involves the integration of three major languages under the LINUX system: C, C++, and assembly (ASM). The C language involves differences between the standard … Read more
On the modern stage of computing, programming languages are like dancers, while compilers are the choreographers guiding them from behind the scenes. Every piece of code written is like a carefully designed dance. On this stage, C language and GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) are a classic duo. Together, they perform a magnificent dance of compilation, … Read more
START Hi, everyone! I am Mu Rong. Today, I will introduce you to GCC. First, let me clarify: the uppercase GCC and lowercase gcc are not the same thing. Let’s take it slow… 1. What is GCC? The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is a compiler toolchain developed by the GNU project that supports various programming … Read more
