A good starting point is the "Modern CMake" talk by Daniel Pfeiffer, > especially the part about how to add and link to libraries: > https://youtu.be/bsXLMQ6WgIk?t=818 I'm sorry to jump into this discussion but I was looking through this video and it was very helpful! Thank you for posting it; I was not aware of it! Unfortunately, I know CMake but I haven't actively used it for many years and this video showed me that I'm very out of date. I think Daniel used the phrase about doing things that are "so version 2.8"... That more or less describes me. ;-( Do you or anyone else on this list have suggestions on moving someone like me to the latest CMake? For example, a tutorial, for example. I noticed this: https://cmake.org/cmake-tutorial/ and I wonder if this tutorial uses recent CMake practices... The "cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.6)" at the top makes me wonder whether or not it is up-to-date. If not, can anyone suggest one? I guess CMake 2.8 practices could still work but since it's been a while for me, maybe I should start with recent practices and put what I used to do behind me. Any suggestions would be appreciated...thank you!
