Learn CMake through a series of task-based recipes that provide you with practical, simple, and ready-to-use CMake solutions for your codeKey FeaturesLearn to configure, build, test, and package software written in C, C++, and FortranProgress from simple to advanced tasks with examples tested on Linux, macOS, and WindowsManage code complexity and library dependencies with reusable CMake building blocksBook Description

CMake is cross-platform, open-source software for managing the build process in a portable fashion. This book features a collection of recipes and building blocks with tips and techniques for working with CMake, CTest, CPack, and CDash.

CMake Cookbook includes real-world examples in the form of recipes that cover different ways to structure, configure, build, and test small- to large-scale code projects. You will learn to use CMake's command-line tools and master modern CMake practices for configuring, building, and testing binaries and libraries. With this book, you will be able to work with external libraries and structure your own projects in a modular and reusable way. You will be well-equipped to generate native build scripts for Linux, MacOS, and Windows, simplify and refactor projects using CMake, and port projects to CMake.

What you will learnConfigure, build, test, and install code projects using CMakeDetect operating systems, processors, libraries, files, and programs for conditional compilationIncrease the portability of your codeRefactor a large codebase into modules with the help of CMakeBuild multi-language projectsKnow where and how to tweak CMake configuration files written by somebody elsePackage projects for distributionPort projects to CMakeWho this book is for

If you are a software developer keen to manage build systems using CMake or would like to understand and modify CMake code written by others, this book is for you. A basic knowledge of C++, C, or Fortran is required to understand the topics covered in this book.

Radovan Bast works at the High Performance Computing Group at UiT (The Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø) and leads the CodeRefinery project. He has a PhD in theoretical chemistry and contributes to a number of quantum chemistry programs as a code developer. He enjoys learning new programming languages and techniques, and teaching programming to students and researchers. He got in touch with CMake in 2008 and has ported a number of research codes and migrated a number of communities to CMake since then. Roberto Di Remigio is a postdoctoral fellow in theoretical chemistry at the UiT (The Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø), Norway and Virginia Tech, USA. He is currently working on stochastic methods and solvation models. He is a developer of the PCMSolver library and the Psi4 open source quantum chemistry program. He contributes to or has contributed to the development of popular quantum chemistry codes and libraries: DIRAC, MRCPP, DALTON, LSDALTON, XCFun, and ReSpect. He usually programs in C++ and Fortran.
