Let's Fight With CMake, Docker, and Some Dependencies

Repository for the CMake exercise.

The Repository with the solution can be found here: enoghadd solution

My Setup

I used Docker under Windows 11 with WSL2 backend.

1. Build the Docker Image

To build the Docker image for this project, run the following command in your terminal from the directory containing the Dockerfile:

docker buildx build --no-cache -t <image-name> .

2.A Run the Docker Container

To run the Docker container use the following command:

docker run --rm -it <image-name>

You will find yourself in a bash shell inside the container in the directory /mnt/hst, where the project has been cloned.

2.B Run the Docker Container with mounted directory

If you want to mount a local directory into the container, go into you directory and use the following command:

docker run --rm -it --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/mnt/hst <image-name>

3. Build and Run the Project

Run in the container:

./build_and_run.sh

The script will create a build directory, run CMake to configure the project, compile it, and then execute the resulting binary with a sample configuration file. The dockerfile has impplemented the bonus part, where the container uses v0.6.3 of yaml-cpp instead of the latest version.
