cmake_package_basic_template

Basic cmake package example providing 2 cmake projects.

demolib produces a cmake package. Can be build and installed with single- and multi-config generatos.

demoapp consumes demolib via find_package. Can be build with single- and multi-config generators.

It is possible to mix single- and multi-config generators for producing and consuming the package (same compiler for stable ABI assumend).

build and install demolib with multi config generator

cmake -B build_multi -S .

cmake --build build_multi --config Debug
cmake --install build_multi --config Debug --prefix ..\installs\demolib-1.2.3.4-multi

cmake --build build_multi --config Release    
cmake --install build_multi --config Release --prefix ..\installs\demolib-1.2.3.4-multi

build and install demolib with single config generator

cmake -B build_single_debug -S . -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
cmake --build build_single_debug
cmake --install build_single_debug --prefix ..\installs\demolib-1.2.3.4-single

cmake -B build_single_release -S . -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build_single_release
cmake --install build_single_release --prefix ..\installs\demolib-1.2.3.4-single

build demoapp multi config generator

cmake -B build -S . --install-prefix <your absolute install prefix>

cmake --build build --config Debug
cmake --build build --config Release

build demoapp single config generator

cmake -B build_ninja_debug -S . -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug --install-prefix <your absolute install prefix>
cmake --build build_ninja_debug

cmake -B build_ninja_release -S . -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release --install-prefix <your absolute install prefix>    
cmake --build build_ninja_release
