projen-cmake v0.1.1

projen-cmake

CMake project type for Projen

Motive

C++ is a language I enjoy working in. However, I've never really been happy with any build systems I ever used. CMake is probably the best, but it still lacks a degree of user-friendliness and intuitiveness. I want a nicer build tool.

In addition, I find myself gravitating towards giving my C++ projects a very similar structure. And many elements of that structure (like unit testing setup) are repetitive and feel ripe for being automated. I want those things automated.

Usage

Be sure you've installed Projen with npm install projen .

Run the command npx projen new --from projen-cmake to create a default CMake project. Once this is done, make edits to your .projenrc.ts and regenerate with npx projen toapply changes to your project's generated files.

Plan

• Craft simple CMakeLists.txt files
  • Project declaration
  • Add executables and libraries
  • Find packages
  • Add target libraries, compiler options, etc. from packages
• Generate good Catch2 test configuration
  • Generate individual unit tests
• Set up project using Pitchfork Layout rules by default
• Glean and implement best ideas from Lectem's boilerplate
