Document building various projects / types with CMake

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Extend the documentation with recipes for buildling common project types in CMake:

      • create a shared library
      • create a static library
      • create and execute unit tests for both
      • create a widgets application using the libraries
      • create a qml application using the libraries
      • create a console application
      • create a qt qml extension plugin

      Further topics that would be good to cover

      • integrate resources into the binaries
      • add translations
      • distribute the artifacts
      • make user-generated libraries work with find_package
      • integrate Qt tests with CTest
      • How to use cmake with yocto
