CMake Tutorial

The code is from the official CMake Tutorial, with some small changes.

How to use

• Create a folder for the binaries (e.g. \build).
• Go inside the folder and run cmake ... You can select the generator using the -G parameter; for example cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" ...
• The USE_MYMATH option is ON by default. To use the system square root function, as opposed to the custom iterated method in the MathFunctions folder, run cmake -DUSE_MYMATH:BOOL=OFF ...
• Use the method of your choice for compiling. If a Makefile was generated, just use make. If using Visual Studio, open the Solution using the IDE and build it.
• You can git reset --hard HEAD~n to get the state of previous steps (n is the number of commits to go back), but this shouldn't be necessary, as they are organized in a repository by Kitware.

Note

• The CTestConfig.cmake file contains some parameters not included in the tutorial, so that the ctest -D Experimental command doesn't throw an error and uploads to open.cdash.org.
