CMake – Properties and Options
Today I’ll continue the little CMake tutorial series. We’ll add a few options and a bit of fine-tuning to the compilation of our example project.
Reproducible build: environments and scripts
Have you ever seen one of those nasty errors that appear on one machine and not on another? To be able to track those down we need a reproducible build […]
“Builds on my machine!” – About local build
In the last week, I had several occurrences that again taught me something I already knew – at least in theory. Local build results can be deceiving.

As promised in the last post about CMake, today we’ll use a proper CMake project structure for our “Hello CMake” project.
CMake – Another Target and the Project
Last week, we’ve started our little CMake project with a “Hello CMake” one-liner. Now it’s time to expand that example by adding another target and information about the project.
Hello CMake!
Since I have mentioned CMake in a handful of past blog posts, it is time to give a short introduction for those that don’t know it yet.
