C++ Project Template

This is a simple project template that uses CMake, the package manager Conan, and the test library Catch.

Its main purpose is to provide a project structure that is ready to go with only minimal adjustments depending on the project itself.

The default structure is configured for building a library, as well as providing an app that uses it.

The folders break down as follows:

project
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── conanfile.py
│
├── apps
│   ├── CMakeLists.txt
│   └── main.cpp
│
├── include
│   └── libname 
│       └── hello_world.h
├── src
│   ├── CMakeLists.txt
│   └── hello_world.cpp
│
└── tests
    ├── CMakeLists.txt
    ├── example_test.cpp
    └── main.cpp

Setup instructions

This project depends on CMake and Conan, which need to be installed prior to using this template.

• CMake installation instructions
• Conan installation instructions

The folder structure can be copied and used directly with only a few minor adjustments.

1. Modify the name of the project in the root CMakeLists.txt.
2. Modify the include folder name

Recommended build instructions

Unix/MacOS

From the root of the project:

1. mkdir build && cd build
2. conan install .. && conan build ..
