In C/C++ projects, CMake has become the industry standard for build systems, and cross-compilation is a hurdle that every embedded developer will encounter. Simply put, it involves setting up a code compilation environment for Arm boards to run code on Arm devices. The commonly used compilation tools are Makefile and CMake, and this article records … Read more
Last time, in C++ Project Build Part Seven: Creating a Library with CMake, all the source code of the modules (libraries and executables) in the example demo7 was in one directory, which made the structure very unclear (if there are hundreds of source files, it would be a nightmare). Below, we will look at an … Read more
When managing multiple source files in C/C++ projects, CMake has become the industry standard for build systems. This article will analyze the core methods for handling multiple source file operations and common basic usages of CMake statements, documenting how to eliminate the tedious task of manually maintaining compilation lists. 1. Project Structure When there are … Read more
When writing C++ projects with Qt, many people’s first reaction is to directly use Qt Creator to create a <span>.pro</span> project, compile, and run, which goes smoothly. However, once the project needs to interface with an existing CMake build system or needs to be built in a cross-platform CI environment, the <span>.pro</span> file becomes inflexible, … Read more
Introduction: Have you encountered these “dependency hell” issues? Have you ever found yourself debugging a complex CMake project, staring at a screen full of <span>add_subdirectory</span> and <span>target_link_libraries</span>, feeling like you’re solving a maze? Have you wanted to showcase the dependency structure in project documentation, but could only rely on drawing tools to sketch it out … Read more
Hi~ This is Weekly Qt, dedicated to sharing valuable Qt knowledge.This will be a series of articles aimed at smoothly introducing everyone to building Qt projects using CMake.qmake is a very important tool in Qt, with a long history and a good reputation. Compared to Makefile, it is very easy to get started, allowing developers … Read more
This time, let’s take a look at how to create dynamic and static libraries using CMake. The technical details differ significantly between creating and using dynamic and static libraries, but for CMake, you only need to specify whether you need a static or dynamic library. This article contains a fair amount of code, mostly framework … Read more
Introduction: In this article, we will learn how to implement unit testing using the CMake build system with the Google Test framework. Compared to the previous configuration with Catch2, the Google Test framework is not just a header file; it is a library that includes two files that need to be built and linked. We … Read more
Recently, while developing ARM applications, I used Qt version 6.2 to cross-compile the source code. The compilation went smoothly and quickly. However, when I was about to compile the program I had written using the Qt library, I found that it could not be compiled with QMake due to a missing connection in Qml. After … Read more
The traditional development of AutoCAD plugins (.arx) often gets mired in the “project configuration hell” of Visual Studio: from complex SDK integration to version dependencies and manual debugging, a small change can lead to the collapse of the entire project. In the face of today’s strong demand for automation, testability, and portability, this model is … Read more
