cookiecutter-cpp

A test-driven C++ project template built on CMake and GoogleTest, that uses Armadillo as an example.

CMake is a fast and easy build tool.
Use of GoogleTest test ensures robust code.
Doxygen enables documentation.
pmm is a package manager manager. You can configure your project to use Conan or VCPKG. This may become more important for cross platform development.

This template was made by combining: Original Cookicutter project: https://github.com/hbristow/cookiecutter-cpp
A lecture of Igor Bogoslavskyi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8xO2eJijy4&list=PLgnQpQtFTOGR50iIOtO36nK6aNPtVq98C&index=4
Boilerplate pmm project: https://github.com/ariveron/boilerplate-pmm-vcpkg-cmake
CMake Example: https://github.com/dev-cafe/cmake-cookbook/blob/master/chapter-10/recipe-01/cxx-example/CMakeLists.txt

Note: currently the Vcpkg version of Armadillo is not compiled using any wrappers. Therefore they must be explicitly disabled in the scripts that use them. Vcpkg versions of OpenBLAS and LAPACK are linked explicitly.

#define ARMA_DONT_USE_WRAPPER
#define ARMA_DONT_USE_BLAS
#define ARMA_DONT_USE_LAPACK
//#define ARMA_USE_BLAS
#include <armadillo> //system wide installed package.

Linux:

$ pip install cookiecutter
$ cookiecutter gh:reinout91/cookiecutter-cpp
$ cd {project dir}/build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ ctest -vv
$  ../bin/main
$ make install

Windows: (TESTS DON'T COMPILE YET!)

note: add C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin (or similar) to PATH (edit environment settings)

$ pip install cookiecutter
$ python -m cookiecutter gh:reinout91/cookiecutter-cpp
$ cd {project dir}/build
$ cmake ..
$ MSBuild.exe {project name}.sln /property:Configuration=Debug

This template was tested on Windows (using msvc compiler) and Linux (using clang)
