Question

I am writing a library for example:
FooBar/foobar.cpp
FooBar/foobar.h
FooBar/bar.cpp
FOoBar/bar.h

and foobar.h inlcudes “bar.h”

I want to use cmakefiles to build this library.

What would an example file look like

Note that this doesnt have any “main” function so there are no executable I want to create. I just want to build a library which I can include in different project.

I tried different permutations and combinations

but in every attempt i throws an error in FooBar where I am trying to call a method from bar.cpp?
THanks

Answer 1

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.10)
project(FooBar)
add_library(FooBar FooBar/foobar.cpp FooBar/foobar.h FooBar/bar.cpp FooBar/bar.h)
# this will create a library called FooBar that will have the code from foobar.cpp and bar.cpp
