书籍介绍

Write comprehensive, professional-standard CMake projects and ensure the quality and simplicity of your solutions

Key Features

Understand and automate compilation and linking with CMake

Manage internal and external dependencies easily

Add quality checks and tests as an inherent step for your builds

Book Description

Creating top-notch software is an extremely difficult undertaking. Developers researching the subject have difficulty determining which advice is up to date and which approaches have already been replaced by easier, better practices. At the same time, most online resources offer limited explanation, while also lacking the proper context and structure.

This book offers a simpler, more comprehensive, experience as it treats the subject of building C++ solutions holistically. Modern CMake for C++ is an end-to-end guide to the automatization of complex tasks, including building, testing, and packaging. You'll not only learn how to use the CMake language in CMake projects, but also discover what makes them maintainable, elegant, and clean. The book also focuses on the structure of source directories, building targets, and packages. As you progress, you'll learn how to compile and link executables and libraries, how those processes work, and how to optimize builds in CMake for the best results. You'll understand how to use external dependencies in your project – third-party libraries, testing frameworks, program analysis tools, and documentation generators. Finally, you'll get to grips with exporting, installing, and packaging for internal and external purposes.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to use CMake confidently on a professional level.

What you will learn

Understand best practices for building C++ code

Gain practical knowledge of the CMake language by focusing on the most useful aspects

Use cutting-edge tooling to guarantee code quality with the help of tests and static and dynamic analysis

Discover how to manage, discover, download, and link dependencies with CMake

Understand how to optimize build artifacts and the build process itself

Who this book is for

The book is for build engineers and software developers with knowledge of C/C++ programming who are looking to learn CMake to automate the process of building small and large software solutions. If you are someone who's just getting started with CMake, a long-time GNU Make user, or simply looking to brush up on the latest best practices, this book is for you.

CMake 被吐槽得太多了,不过又绕不过,必须用。现在简单了:直接看这本书就行了。
cmake第一本神书
感谢译者,本书很适合入门。
great
就是解释cmake各种函数,事实说明任何主流软件经过十几年的需求迭代都会变成庞然大物。
