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Developers researching the subject have difficulty deteing which advice is up-to-date and which approaches have already been replaced by easier, better practices. At the same , most online resources offer limited explanation, while also lacking the proper context and structure.
This book offers simpler, more complete 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 later 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 also understand how to use external dependencies in your project - third-party libraries, testing frameworks, program analysis tools, and documentation generators. Finally, you'll focus on 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.
