We use CMake to register all tests and then compile them into individual executables, and we use CTest to run …

In this article, we take a deep dive into CMake and see how we can use it to compile two simple projects: one to generate an executable and another one to generate a static library. We will pick up these examples from our previous article and see how we can modify them to incorporate a …
