An example C++ project using CMake

Since this uses submodules, make sure you clone using

git clone <repository name> --recursive

if you already have the repository cloned and just want to download any submodules you can then run

git submodule update --init --recursive

• Simple library (single header and cpp file)
• Simple application (uses library)
• Tests (uses gtest) This example uses git submodules to load in 3rd party libraries.

It's usually best to do an "out of source build", so run the following

mkdir _build
cd _build 
cmake ..

This will generate the build files (e.g. VS project files etc).

To build everything simply run (from the build directory)

cmake --build . --config <platform>

where <platform> is either Release or Debug

Run the address_book.exe executable in the _build/release directory.
