Welcome to My C++ Project

Prerequisites

Building My C++ Project requires the following software installed:

• A C++14-compliant compiler
• CMake >= 3.23
• Doxygen (optional, documentation building is skipped if missing)
• The testing framework Catch2 for building the test suite
• Python >= 3.10 for building Python bindings

Building My C++ Project

The following sequence of commands builds My C++ Project. It assumes that your current working directory is the top-level directory of the freshly cloned repository:

cmake -B build
cmake --build build

The build process can be customized with the following CMake variables, which can be set by adding -D<var>={ON, OFF} to the cmake call:

• test-gha-cookiecutter_BUILD_TESTING: Enable building of the test suite (default: ON)
• test-gha-cookiecutter_BUILD_DOCS: Enable building the documentation (default: ON)
• test-gha-cookiecutter_BUILD_PYTHON: Enable building the Python bindings (default: ON)

If you wish to build and install the project as a Python project without having access to C++ build artifacts like libraries and executables, you can do so using pip from the root directory:

python -m pip install .

Testing My C++ Project

When built according to the above explanation (with -Dtest-gha-cookiecutter_BUILD_TESTING=ON), the C++ test suite of My C++ Project can be run using ctest from the build directory:

cd build
ctest

The Python test suite can be run by first pip-installing the Python package and then running pytest from the top-level directory:

python -m pip install .
pytest

Documentation

My C++ Project provides a Sphinx-based documentation, that can be browsed online at readthedocs.org. To build it locally, first ensure the requirements are installed by running this command from the top-level source directory:

pip install -r doc/requirements.txt

Then build the sphinx documentation from the top-level directory:

cmake --build build --target sphinx-doc

The web documentation can then be browsed by opening build/doc/sphinx/index.html in your browser.
