Cpp Protobuf Basic

This repository provides a basic example of a C++ project using Protocol Buffers with CMake. It demonstrates how to set up a simple project structure, integrate CMake for building, and use Protocol Buffers to define and generate C++ code.

Project Structure

CppProtobuf/
├── build
├── proto/
|    └── example.proto
├── src/
|    └── main.cpp
├── .gitignore
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── Makefile
├── README.md

• CMakeLists.txt: CMake configuration file for building the project.
• build/: Default directory for CMake builds. Created when used make proto command
• proto/: Directory to store Protocol Buffers .proto files.
• src/: Directory to store C++ source code files.
• .gitignore: File specifying patterns to be ignored by version control.
• README.md: Documentation file for the project.

Dependencies

• CMake
• Protocol Buffers

Make sure to install these dependencies before building the project.

Build Instructions

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/sohneg/CppProtobufBasic.git
   cd CppProtobuf
   

2. Execute Makefile:

   make proto
   

3. Generate build files using CMake:

   cd build
   cmake ..
   

4. Build the project:

   make
   

5. Run the executable:

   ./my_app
