Introduction

This is an example of how to create a Modern CMake C++ Project.

This project should run on GNU/Linux, MacOS and Windows.

Requirement

You'll need:

The project layout is as follow:

CMakeLists.txt Top-level for CMake based build.
cmake Subsidiary CMake files.
ci Root directory for continuous integration.
Foo Root directory for Foo library.
- CMakeLists.txt for Foo.
- include public folder.
  - foo
    - Foo.hpp
- src private folder.
  - src/Foo.cpp
Bar Root directory for Bar library.
- CMakeLists.txt for Bar.
- include public folder.
  - bar
    - Bar.hpp
- src private folder.
  - src/Bar.cpp
FooBar Root directory for FooBar library.
- CMakeLists.txt for FooBar.
- include public folder.
  - foobar
    - FooBar.hpp
- src private folder.
  - src/FooBar.cpp
FooBarApp Root directory for FooBarApp executable.
- CMakeLists.txt for FooBarApp.
- src private folder.
  - src/main.cpp

To complexify a little, the CMake project is composed of three libraries (Foo, Bar and FooBar) with the following dependencies:

Foo:
Bar:
FooBar: PUBLIC Foo PRIVATE Bar
FooBarApp: PRIVATE FooBar

note: Since Foo is a public dependency of FooBar, then FooBarApp will see Foo inlude directories

To build the C++ project, as usual:

cmake -S. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build --config Release

plantuml -Tsvg docs/{file}.dot

So you can find the dot source files in docs.
