General C++ utilities that make me happy

Building with CMake

Using the Visual Studio generator

The Visual Studio CMake generator (which uses MSBuild under the hood) is called a multi-configuration generator. This means that the same CMake configuration can be used for both Debug, Release, and RelWithDebInfo builds.

Create the configuration:

> mkdir build\windows
> cd build\windows
> cmake ..\.. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64"

or

> cmake ..\.. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A Win64

Build all targets in Debug (the default):

> cd build\windows
> cmake --build . -- /verbosity:minimal

Build all targets in Release:

> cd build\windows
> cmake --build . --config Release -- /verbosity:minimal

Build one target in Debug:

> cd build\windows
> cmake --build . --target jg_stacktrace -- /verbosity:minimal

Build one target in Release:

> cd build\windows
> cmake --build . --target jg_stacktrace --config Release -- /verbosity:minimal

Arguments after -- are passed to the generator (specifically to MSBuild when the generator is Visual Studio).

To build Release with debug info, just change Release to RelWithDebInfo.

Using the Ninja generator

The Ninja CMake generator is called a single-configuration generator. This means that separate CMake configurations are used for each of Debug, Release, and RelWithDebInfo builds.

Create a Debug configuration:

> mkdir build\windows\debug
> cd build\windows\debug
> cmake ..\..\.. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -GNinja

Build all targets in Debug:

> cd build\windows\debug
> cmake --build .

Build one target in Debug:

> cd build\windows\debug
> cmake --build . --target jg_stacktrace
