Sample CMake project

This project contains:

- some sample classes,
- CLion file templates for generating C++ classes
- some CMake files to demonstrate how to arrange project
- Google tests for the sample classes.

This project makes use of the:

- [C++ standard library](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/header)
- [Boost library](https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/)
- [Facebook Folly](https://github.com/facebook/folly )

Initial Setup

The extern folder contains a script that must be run to install packages needed by folly. Additionally the build.sh script in that folder should be run

   $ cd $PROJECT_ROOT
   $ cd extern
   $ ./initialSetup.sh
   $ ./build.sh -j {num-processors}
   

NOTE the initialSetup.sh script installs a number of libraries required by Facebook's folly library. You can choose to use these older versions or add ones to the CMakeLists.txt file as external projects.

Building

Once the 3rd party libraries have been installed and/or built, you can proceed building the sample project:

   $ cd $PROJECT_ROOT
   $ ./build.sh -j {num-processors}

   # to execute the tests using ctest
   $ ./test.sh # run with --help to see the list of options to pass to ctest

Optional Clion setup

AFTER you've opened the project in CLion, you can install the clion file templates as follows:

   $ cd $PROJECT_ROOT
   $ cd clion
   $ tar cf - --exclude=Readme.md . |(cd ../.idea/fileTemplates; tar xvf - )

You'll most likely need to restart clion to see the templates.
