Test drive

This page describes how to create a new C++ project with c3pm, add a library, build it and run it.

Create the project

Use the ctpm init command to create a new project:

ctpm init myproject
cd myproject

The command creates a C++ project directory called myproject that contains a simple program that prints a string.

The code for your project is in src/main.cpp.

Use the c3pm add command to add a library to your project.

ctpm add test-add

The command adds a library with a function that adds two numbers.

Once you've added the library, copy and paste the following code in your src/main.cpp.

#include <iostream>
#include "test-add.hpp"

int main() {
    std::cout << add(3, 4) << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

This code imports the newly added library and prints the result of the add function call.

At the root of the project, build with the following command:

ctpm build

When your project is done building, you should have an executable at the root.

./myproject
