CMake Examples

Zhuo's CMake based C/C++ project templates.

Features

• Modern: Use latest cmake, write target-oriented configurations.
• Modular: Formed into > 10 groups of examples, each group consists of strong related examples.
• Versatile: Extracted from practical, not restricted to simple tutorials.

Contents

There are above 100 examples now. Some of them are written in English, some in Chinese, but anyway, each of them are simple enough, just find your interested one, and run it!

You may search them in this page, you may search each of them in the following table:

You may also use ./search.sh for specific search, e.g. search dll as keyword:

bash ./search.sh dll

And get result:

./01_creating_targets/create_dll_example2
./01_creating_targets/create_dll_example1
./06_files_and_io/copy_dll_example
./06_files_and_io/dll_path_example
