  • Is Using Project-Templates A Good Thing For Understanding CMake Better?
    3 projects | /r/cpp_questions | 5 Mar 2022
    I really want to understand CMake in a deeper way. Recently, I have found many project templates like this one: https://github.com/TheLartians/ModernCppStarter. Is using theses templates a good idea to understand how to use CMake very well in a bigger project? Or what alternatives are there? Can anyone recommend good resources, which are the current best practice in these cases. Thank you in advance.

    Have a look here https://github.com/TheLartians/ModernCppStarter - this project uses author's own CPM cmake-based package manager which is easy to use (for projects written with cmake). It's a nice starting point.
