C++ Project Template

Introduction

A C++ project template on Ubuntu built with:

• Docker
• CMake
• Make
• GitHub Actions
• GoogleTest

Building with CMake

Prerequisites

• Install GoogleTest.
• Install CMake.

Building

Go to the project folder and run:

mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake -DBUILD_TESTS=ON ..
cmake --build .

Running Tests

Go to the build folder and run:

ctest -VV

Running the Main Program

Go to the build/bin folder and run:

./cpp-sample

Building with Docker

Prerequisites

• Install Docker.

Building

Go to the project folder and run the following command to create an image:

docker image build . -t <image>

<image> should be replaced with a custom Docker image name.

Running Tests

docker container run <image> ctest --test-dir .. -VV

Running the Main Program

docker container run <image>

Building with Make

Currently Makefile does not support GoogleTest.

Building

Go to the project folder and run:

make

Running the Main Program

Go to the build folder and run:

./cpp-sample
