Quick Start

Having all requirements set, here you can find how to quickly build and run the application.

Table of contents

Build

Usually available build modes are Debug, Release, and RelWithDebInfo.

To run a debug build:

cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -B build/debug
cmake --build build/debug

To run a release build:

cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -B build/release
cmake --build build/release

On macOS Xcode should be used as generator via -GXCode. For example creating a release build with XCode.

# Using Xcode
cmake -GXcode -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -B build/xcode
cmake --build build/xcode

Execute

When not running through an IDE like CLion, the built application can be run by directly executing the generated binary.

macOS

To run a debug build:

./build/debug/src/app/App.app/Contents/MacOS/App

To run a release build:

./build/release/src/app/App.app/Contents/MacOS/App

To run a debug build created with Xcode:

./build/xcode/src/app/Debug/App.app/Contents/MacOS/App

To run a release build created with Xcode:

./build/xcode/src/app/Release/App.app/Contents/MacOS/App

Windows

To run a debug build:

build/debug/src/app/App.exe

To run a release build:

build/release/src/app/App.exe

Linux

To run a debug build:

./build/debug/src/app/App

To run a release build:

./build/release/src/app/App

Distribution

To bundle the application and create a distribution package CPack is used. Before executing CPack a release build needs to be generated.

cpack --config build/release/CPackConfig.cmake

Tests

On any generated build tests can be executed by using CTest, e.g. a Debug build:

ctest --test-dir build/debug

Preview

Here a preview of the app running on macOS, Windows, and Linux (Ubuntu), in that order.
