A simple demonstration of how to include multiple cpp files in a single project, using cmake.
|
|
|
|
There are three strategies:
|
|
1. direct declaration in the main, with the external source files identified in the cmakelist add_executables.
|
|
2. explicit inclusion (`#include mysource.cpp`). In this case, they should not be added to the cmakelist.
|
|
3. The "canonical" or "best practice" c++ approach: explicit inclusion of a header file (`#include mysource.h`) which declares all the classes and methods publicly accessible to main. Both the source and header must be added to cmakelist.
|
|
|
|
Here is my main, with all three strategies implemented:
|
|
|

Here is the cmakelist:

|
|
|
Note, that you'll have to specify your version of cmake in the `set`.
|
|
|
|
You can build this with this command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
cmake --build {your-project-path}/NewProject/cmake-build-debug --target NewProject -j 14
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And when you run the compiled binary, you should see:
