Koans to learn CMake

Inspired by RubyKoans this is a way to learn CMake in small "unit-test" like steps. As they say:

While walking the path to [CMake] enlightenment you will need to run the koan and see it fail (red), make the test pass (green), then take a moment and reflect upon the test to see what it is teaching you and improve the code to better communicate its intent (refactor).

If you're looking for a "how to start with CMake" documentation, you can first have a look at CMake's tutorial.

##Requirements

You will need CMake.

You will also need the proper tools to build C++ code on your machine (be it make, llvm, gcc, Xcode, Visual Studio etc).

##How to walk the path to enlightment

1. Get the sources

    git clone git://github.com/tibonihoo/CMakeKoans
   

2. Create a build directory

    cd CMakeKoans
    mkdir build
    cd build
   

3. Use CMake to generate the koan project

    cmake ..
   

4. Use CMake "build" command to run the koans

    cmake --build .
   

You will need to edit CMakeLists files inside the koans to fullfill a koan and then run cmake --build . and again.

Thus, walking the path to enlightment is a repetition of these steps:

1. Edit and save a CMakeLists

2. Run cmake --build .

3. Read the master's reply
