During the project development process, many applications require common I/O operations, data structures, and algorithms. If each application needs to rewrite these functionalities, it will inevitably reduce development efficiency and increase the possibility of code instability. Therefore, many large projects develop basic libraries or services for other applications to use. These components are referred to … Read more

Summary Developing your own library in C++ is quite convenient, but making it usable for others can be a bit challenging. It requires understanding the CMake toolset. This article may seem simple, but I spent three days working on this issue. Perhaps I am a bit slow, and with limited learning ability, I will strengthen … Read more
Introduction to CMake 1. Overview of CMake CMake is a project build tool that is cross-platform. Other popular project build tools include Makefile (which builds projects using the Make command). Most IDEs integrate make, such as: nmake for VS, GNU make for Linux, and qmake for Qt. If you write a makefile by hand, you … Read more

Background Introduction In the realm of C++ package management tools, aside from Microsoft’s vcpkg, there doesn’t seem to be a particularly famous package manager. CMake actually provides basic package management functionality. By using the <span>FetchContent</span> module commands, you can download the source code or other files that your project depends on. Basic Usage <span>FetchContent_Declare</span> command … Read more
The default startup project generated by <span>cmake</span> is <span>ALL_BUILD</span>. We want to specify the default startup project so that we don’t have to set it every time we open the <span>.sln</span> file. This was not possible before <span>cmake 3.6</span>. After <span>cmake 3.6</span>, it can be accomplished by setting the <span>VS_STARTUP_PROJECT</span> property. 1. Core Setting Statement … Read more
Click the blue text to follow the author 1. Introduction CMake is a cross-platform open-source build system generator. It does not directly build software but generates a build system for a specific platform based on the descriptions in the <span>CMakeLists.txt</span> file. The role of CMake is to decouple the build process from the compiler, operating … Read more
The Visual Studio project generated by CMake defaults to the Debug build type, as shown in the image below: Sometimes, you may want to specify the build type in CMake without having to manually adjust it every time you open the project. 1. General Settings 1.1 Specifying in CMakeLists.txt This can be achieved by setting … Read more
