Cmake Runner

A small bash script that allows you to compile and run c/c++ targets withing a CMake project for when you're away from your IDE.

Usage

Simpily run ./cmake-run <target_name> or ./cmake-run to be prompted to pick a target

Limitations:

  • Target file has to end with .o extension
  • All targets have to have the output directory out
  • Script has to be run in the same directory as the main CMakeLists.txt file

Example Project Structure and CMake File

├── CMakeLists.txt
├── cmake-run
├── src
    └── hello_world.cpp

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.21)

set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${source_dir}/../../out/)

add_executable(hello_world.o ${source_dir}/hello_world.cpp)
