Handling files and paths is a frequent task in any programming language. In C++, we used to rely on platform-specific APIs (such as CreateFile on Windows or open in POSIX) to accomplish this. This approach was not only cumbersome but also required consideration of cross-platform compatibility issues. The good news is that with the introduction … Read more
The Internet of Things (IoT) can be roughly divided into four layers: the perception layer, network layer, device management layer, and application layer. Among these, the **perception layer** most vividly reflects the characteristics of IoT. The perception layer consists of various sensors, protocol conversion gateways, communication gateways, and smart terminals. Most of these terminals are … Read more
CMake and Make are both software build systems that involve converting source code into executable programs. Both CMake and Make are tools designed to automate the build process, helping developers save time and effort. Below is a brief introduction to their differences. 1. How Does Make Work? Controls the generation of executable files and other … Read more
Introduction: Through previous studies, we have mastered the basic knowledge of CMake and C++. Although CMake is cross-platform, sometimes the source code is not entirely portable. To ensure that our source code can be cross-platform, configuring and/or building the code according to different platforms is an essential part of the project build process. ✦ Detecting … Read more
CMake: A Cross-Platform Build System In modern software development, build systems are an indispensable part. As project scales and complexities increase, developers face the challenge of managing the build process efficiently and flexibly. CMake, as a cross-platform build system, has gradually become the tool of choice for many developers due to its powerful features and … Read more
Source | Network For C/C++ developers, managing projects with complex third-party dependencies can become very tricky, especially when cross-platform support is needed. CMake, as a cross-platform build management tool, provides a mature solution for finding and including third-party dependencies, creating build systems, testing programs, and installation. By writing a single CMakeLists.txt file and executing the … Read more
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
Previously, I translated the official documentation of CMake, and then I organized a personal guide at a beginner level. Over time, I have compiled some commonly used CMake usages in project management. Cross-Platform Versioning Techniques – Windows – Linux Output Directory for Artifacts Multi-Module Management Cross-Platform Referencing some open-source projects, I have extracted some concise … Read more
Creating beautiful and responsive user interfaces in Rust has always been a challenge until the emergence of egui. egui is an immediate mode GUI library that has become a favorite in the Rust community due to its ease of use and cross-platform capabilities. Today, we will delve into the design philosophy, core features, and integration … Read more
