CMake Project Templates

CMake is a great tool, but using it can get complicated when a code project uses or even combines certain frameworks. This repository contains a collection of barebone CMake project templates for various specific setups:

• CMake (nothing else) Simply a very generic CMake project structure for C++ projects.

• CMake + CUDA Using CMake to manage a C++ project that contains CUDA code.

• CMake + Multithreading If you want to use std::thread or pthread, CMake needs to be configured accordingly.

• CMake + ROS This project can be compiled using rosmake. Tested with ROS Indigo.

• CMake + Boost + CUDA + ROS Sometimes, you need it all. Each of Boost, CUDA and ROS need special attention when it comes to CMake. This setup combines all of them, so now you can rosmake your GPU projects. Tested with ROS Indigo

CMake Project Template for ROS Kinetic

• generic-ros-catkin-cplusplus-cmake-example
  A barebones C++ ROS package template

• generic-ros-catkin-cplusplus-actions-cmake-example
  Using custom ROS actions

• generic-ros-catkin-cplusplus-launchfiles-cmake-example
  Using custom launchfiles for your project

• generic-ros-catkin-cplusplus-messages-cmake-example
  Using custom ROS messages

• generic-ros-catkin-cplusplus-services-cmake-example
  Using custom ROS services

• generic-ros-catkin-cplusplus-dynamicreconfigure-cmake-example
  Using ROS dynamic-reconfigure

• generic-ros-catkin-python-cmake-example
  A barebones Python ROS package template

• generic-ros-catkin-python-launchfiles-cmake-example
  Using custom launchfiles

Usage

• Clone this repository:

  git clone https://github.com/nikolausmayer/cmake-templates
  

• In whatever subfolder, use the standard CMake procedure:

  cd cmake-templates/generic-cmake-example
  mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake ..
  make -j && make install
  

  For the ROS Indigo templates, rosmake can be used instead. For the ROS Kinetic templates, catkin_make can be used instead.
