• Want to Get Better at Java? Go Old School.

  I will not suggest truly old-school Java programming. When I started in Java, we built Java classes with the javac command. This led to writing shell scripts to build complex projects and finally, Makefiles using the Unix and Windows commands make and nmake respectively. I remember being thrilled when the Ant utility came out and we had a pure Java build tool. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Better CI/CD caching with new-gen build systems

  A build system is a program that orchestrates the execution of underlying tools such as compilers, code generators, test runners, linters and so on. Examples of build systems include the venerable Make, the JVM-centric Ant, Maven and Gradle, and newer systems such as Pants and Bazel (full disclosure: I am one of the maintainers of Pants). - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Build error when running 'nix build', running build steps by hand with 'nix develop' works

  You are missing a dependency: antlr. You have ant instead, which is something completely different. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Top 7 C++ Tools to explore in 2024 if it's not already the case.

  CMake stands for "Cross-platform Make" and is an open-source, platform-independent build system. It's designed to build, test, and package software projects written in C and C++, but it can also be used for other languages. Here's an overview of CMake and its features:. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• My first Software Release using GitHub Release

  When doing research for this lab exercise I looked at both vcpkg and conan. Both are package managers that would automate the installation and configuration of my program with its dependencies. However, when it came to releasing and sharing my program my options were limited. For example, the central public registry for conan packages is conan-center, but these packages are curated and the process is very... - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• A little help for a C++ newbie

  Install the CMake program using your system package manager, e.g. Sudo apt-get install cmake. Source: 7 months ago

• Questions Regarding working with Mingw_w64, MSYS2, and CMake on Windows

  Oh I just assumed it was talking about the one from cmake.org since I was having trouble. I can now confirm that mingw-w64-cmake and the binary from cmake.org do operate in mostly identical ways. Source: about 1 year ago

• Questions Regarding working with Mingw_w64, MSYS2, and CMake on Windows

  Then looking at any one of the many examples provided on cmake.org, it's clearly a viable way to do set(CMAKE_*), (e.g., set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11) Set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED True)). Of course, another way to set these variables is to use the -D flag as you suggested, but I was just wondering why you would prohibit using set(CMAKE_*). Source: about 1 year ago
