C/C++ Playground

Subdirectories

• games - playing around with stuff

• unittest (sort of)

• design pattern

• modules - contains some modules required for playing

• cmake - contains some macros (at the moment one) for cmake

Makefile

The Makefile is required for seamless Eclipse integration. Because the Makefile can be called from mixed cygwin/MSYS2 environments, every line and the order of lines in the Makefile are counting. Essential part is the correct setup of the PATH environment variable. This assures that the MSYS2 toolchain is really used before anything else in the $PATH.

Tip	c:/msys64/usr/bin/make.exe should be used as the "Build command" in "Project Settings/C++ Build" in Eclipse.

Note	fun fact: internally we will let cmake use Ninja because it is faster and shows less compatibility problems compared to make.

Note	this setup is working under Linux as well.

CMakeLists.txt

This is the root CMakeLists.txt file. All other CMakeLists.txt are included with an invocation of add_subdirectory(). Unittests are included through the cmake macro add_unittest().

Tip	add_unittest() is not limited to unittesting. It allows quick and dirty inclusion of small test projects as well.
