CMake Tutorial

Generating a Project

cmake [<options>] -S <path-to-source> -B <path-to-build>

Assuming that a CMakeLists.txt is in the root directory, you can generate a project like the following.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -S .. -B . # Option 1
cmake .. # Option 2

Assuming that you have already built the CMake project, you can update the generated project.

cd build
cmake .

Run the Executable

After generating the project and building a specific target you might want to run the executable. The executable is stored in build/Executable

cd build
./Executable
