CMake:GNU style example

back to tutorials list

GNU style projects typically have a main directory that contains include and src subdirectories. The src directory in turn contains directories for libraries and applications. This is a brief example of such a project using CMake. The heirarchy is as follows:

• CMakeLists.txt
• include
  • CMakeLists.txt
  • yo.h (the header file for the library)
• src
  • CMakeLists.txt
  • app
    • CMakeLists.txt
    • hello.c (the application)
  • libyo
    • CMakeLists.txt
    • yo.c (the trivial library)

The tarball for the project is available [[1]]
