I've been reading your book. Thank you for your work!

Do you guys really see no problem that a tool created to simplify the build process has a 400 page manual? 💀

Amazing! Congrats on the book Rafal. An invaluable contribution to the C++ community.

that rare thing on youtube - someone who knows what they're talking about 🙂
many thanks

I'm doing undergrad research and I need to write c++ code with more industrial standards. this video was SO helpful, i feel like im going in the right direction. Thanks!

Ten pages a day times 46 days and boom, you’re done. About a month and a half and you can be fluent with CMake, worth it.

I love that no one really know what cmake does and therefore pretend to explain it but actually gloss over it by saying "cmake will create the appropriate build system" instead.

this video's 5-6 mins helped me a lot than lot of videos on youtube

There is only one criticism I have of the book: spacing. The book has a crammed look, I feel it would be more attractive if there were more empty lines. I'm referring to the epub version as read by Sumatra.

Great video, thanks! I have ordered your book and have added it to my companies recommended reading list, hopefully this will drive some additional orders!

[kingofdice]

Great book, can't recommend it enough!

[rafaeldelpino]

When will give discount again? I loved It but dolar is Very expensive to us Brazilians 😭

[elakstein]

In my company we use make, what's the benefit of using cmake over c, and if the benefit is huge then why my company is sticking to nake ?

ive ordered this book a 2-3 weeks ago on amazon yet it has unfortunately not come yet, even admitting its late... dp you know why this is? im not here to rant id just lilke to really know

Really great book, started learning about CMake and stumbled upon this book recommended from a presentation I went to about it, and it's an amazing book and about so much more than CMake and a whole view of how building things in C++ work and what's involved in it, I'm definitely recommending this to my colleagues because it's a good resource for them to get a better view of everything involved in compilation/building and the pitfalls/issues and how to tune it alongside just learning proper CMake
Ps: Any option to get non-expensive shipping to Belgium? I'd love to get a copy at my office for my colleagues but the shipping is like more than half the cost

hi mate, I have your first edition. what's new in the 2nd please? cheers

[miikavihersaari]

I use an sh-file (and on Windows a bat) that has the command to compile the project, including linking to libs.

To further simplify compilation I have a single compilation unit that includes all the other c- or cpp-files.

It’s good that someone writes updated book but - Why would in 2023 I use archaic build system with autistic syntax language? What if we use xmake? Something based on real language and not as slow as Scons ?

There are plenty of tutorials on cmake and I've scanned quite a few before this one. You answered the most important question within the first minute, what the fuck is a cmake anyways? Thank you

Cześć, mam pytanie czy zamierzasz jeszcze nagrywać po polsku ?
