Conan and CMake Templates for C++ Development

By Holger Zahnleiter

Abstract

These templates can be used as a basis for C++ library or executable projects. Conan is used to manage dependencies, and Make/CMake is used as the build tool.

The templates may also use one of my C++ Build Container Images.

These templates allow you to:

  • Debug and run tests and executabels – From an IDE like Visual Studio Code – From command line – For CI builds
  • Produce a coverage report
  • Produce a test report
  • Use SonarLint within VS Code
  • Package your library or application as a Conan package

Project Source

Find the project's sources here: https://gitlab.com/hzahnlei/cpp-conan-cmake-templates

My Git repositories usually do not only contain source code. Typically you will find documentation, instructions and tests.
