C++ Starter Template

A simple starting point for a C++ repository based on CMake and Conan. Unit tests are setup using gtest.

A static library called example is setap as well as a main executable using the poco C++ library (downloaded through conan).

Requirements

• C++ Compiler (Clang, GCC, XCode, Visual Studio...)
• CMake >= 3.10
• conan >= 1.40.3

Configuration and building

All these commands should be run from a fresh sub directory (e.g. /build) which is in .gitignore

mkdir build
cd build

Download and install dependencies with conan

conan install ..

Build all targets and run the tests

conan build ..

You can also use cmake directly to build all or specific targets

cmake --build .
# or
cmake --build . --target main

Run the main executable

./bin/main
