A set of cmake templates for creating a C++ library or executable.
Instructions to configure into an actual project (also available in respective CMakeLists.txts):
- Copy the chosen project template somewhere.
- Rename the folder include/PROJECT_NAME_HERE/.
- Open up CMakeLists.txt.
- Change PROJECT_NAME_HERE to your project name.

project (PROJECT_NAME_HERE VERSION 1.0 LANGUAGES CXX)
list (APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake")- Add your source files to the PROJECT_SOURCES list.

)- Add your third party libraries via the import_library function which creates a cmake library target for the given include directories and libraries. You may also choose to manually add your libraries to the PROJECT_LIBRARIES list.

# Separate Debug and Release:
find_package (Boost REQUIRED iostreams)
import_library(Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS Boost_IOSTREAMS_LIBRARY_DEBUG Boost_IOSTREAMS_LIBRARY_RELEASE)- Add your test files to the PROJECT_TEST_SOURCES list (optional).
