CMake Cookbook

How to do it

This is how to proceed, step by step:

1. The CMakeLists.txt file starts with the minimum version requirement, project name, and supported language:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5 FATAL_ERROR)project(recipe-04 LANGUAGES CXX)set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)set(CMAKE_CXX_EXTENSIONS OFF)set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)

2. We wish to build the hello-conda executable, which is built from example.cpp:

add_executable(hello-conda "")target_sources(hello-conda  PRIVATE    example.cpp  )

3. We conclude CMakeLists.txt by defining the install target:

install(  TARGETS    hello-conda  DESTINATION    bin  )

4. We will describe the Conda package in a file called meta.yaml, which we will place under conda-recipe to arrive at the following file structure:
