CMake For Beginners? Create a C++ / CMake Project in 2 Minutes

Показать описание
If you're a beginner, writing the CMake for your C++ projects can be very scary indeed. Do we really have to spend sometimes hours just to get a "hello world" project to compile? This is where "cmake-init" comes in!

cmake-init will generate a skeleton CMake & C++ project that is ready to be integrated & compiled by the most popular IDEs out there. All you need to do is run "cmake-init" and open the project with your favourite IDE, as it contains all the CMake presets needed.

You should check out cmkr, its a toml representation of CMake essentially, it also does support "cmkr init" which generates a barebone project. Been using it for some time now and its a lot easier not having to deal with this odd CMake language.

Another great video, Mat!
I tried it on Windows (Native) and it worked.
I had clang-tidy, so I enabled it, and I chose vcpkg haha;

Also, I chose 20 as the C++ standard during the CL setup, but then changed it to 23 in the CMakeLists file, for I am using the Microsoft Compiler and wanted to try some new stuff.
Also, I disabled the installation of fmt::format, and, since I'm using MSVC with the latest std, I included format instead (#include <format>), and in the .cpp, used std:: instead of fmt::).
[ GCC doesn't support std::format yet :/ ]
