KK C++

Brief

As of now, you should be able to build the project with a single command by making use of CMakePresets. For that, you'll need:

• CMake 3.28 - download at Kitware
• Visual Studio 17 2022
  • I am using the latest preview version 17.9.0 Preview 1.0
• The vcpkg Package Manager
  • this project doesn't doesn't use vcpkg to manage its dependencies yet, but it will.

Build

From the root directory, open your VS Developer PowerShell and run: cmake --workflow --preset config-build

Here's a screenshot:

PS

• There are some files that aren't involved in this test structure yet, such as the ones from ./extern, ./tests, ./cmake, as well as vcpkg's manifest file [vcpkg.json] and so on. I was experimenting with some other stuff, upon which I'll build this repo. That being said, ignore them for now.
• You can also open the project in Visual Studio 17 2022. For that,
  • change the Presets version in the CMakePresets.json file from 8 to 6
  • also, make sure you check the vcpkg box when installing Visual Studio.
  • You don't need to install CMake with Visual Studio. Download CMake separately, and then, in the Visual Studio Settings, go to the CMake tab and choose to use a custom CMake executable, and point to the cmake.exe that you got when you installed CMake or unzipped it.
  • From Visual Studio, go to File | Open | CMake and choose the root CMakeLists.txt
