cmake config files for C++ Primer, Fifth Edition

This repository contains the source code from C++ Primer, 5th edition, with the addition of cmake configuration files which allow to create a Visual Studio solution for many of the chapters.

For all information about the original distribution, see Visual Studio 2012 README.pdf

Instruction for using this repo to create a Visual Studio solution

install Visual Studio (community edition is fine). I used 2022 but older versions are most likely fine.
install git. Probably the 64-bit Git for Windows Setup is best.
install cmake. Probably the Windows x64 installer is best.
start a x64 Native Tool Command Prompt (this is a program in Visual Studio).
change to a directory or your choice.
clone the primer repo and create the solution file with the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/greg7mdp/primer.git
cd primer
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

at this point the solution was created in the build subdirectory, you can open it in Visual Studio and build it.
