SimpleCppProj

This repository contains a simple C++ project, demonstrating a useful structure for developing an application using TDD.

Goals

  • Find a project structure which works well with test driven development
  • Understand CMake and CTest to find a workflow that makes test driven development rewarding
  • Solidify understanding of CMake

Building the project

It is a popular practice to create a build directory to generate build system files in. This avoids mixing project binaries and project sources.

To build this project in a unix environment:

$ pwd
$ /Path/To/SimpleCppProj
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. # Ask CMake to generate a build environment (default is to use Makefiles)
$ make

To generate a different build system, cmake -G <Generator Name> can be used (e.g. cmake -G "Sublime Text 2 - Unix Makefiles" ..).

Build system generators are constrained by platform.
