CMake - Get your build on!
Building C/C++ code is probably a frequent occurrence for many in the department. But how many know how to write a good build system for their C/C++ project? In this tutorial I will introduce you to CMake which is a cross platform meta build system that will read a description of your project and generate a build system from that. Notable supported outputs include make files, Eclipse projects, XCode projects, Visual studio projects and ninja files (hell yeah!). In this tutorial I will show you how to write a build system for your project that includes handling external libraries, generating documentation (doxygen), unit testing (GoogleTest framework) and more. I will try to do this as an interactive tutorial so feel free to bring your laptop and follow along.
