Build using cmake:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. && make -j $(nproc)

Example

See example.cpp

Include `hwinfo` in your cmake project

Download hwinfo into your project (e.g. in <project-root>/third_party/hwinfo)

mkdir third_party
cd third_party
git clone https://github.com/lfreist/hwinfo

Simply add the following to your <project-root>/CMakeLists.txt file:

# file: <project-root>/CMakeLists.txt

add_subdirectory(third_party/hwinfo)
include_directories(third_party/hwinfo/include)

Include hwinfo into your .cpp/.h files:

// file: your_benchmarks.cpp

#include "hwinfo/hwinfo.h"

Link it in cmake

add_executable(your_executable your_executable.cpp)
target_link_libraries(your_executable PUBLIC hwinfo::HWinfo)
