CMake

Create a CMake framework for a project and practice debugging with Valgrind

In this exercise we will CMake-ify a project. This is interesting for people who use Makefiles or Autotools.

You can use the exercise time to practice CMake on your own project(s) but we also provide a mockup project: https://github.com/juselius/vat-69.git

Your task is to:

• Create a build system using CMake:

  • Build a shared library
  • Build and link the main program
  • Create an installer so the program can be installed properly (GNU standards)
  • Compile a parallel version with OpenMP

• Find all bugs using Valgrind and fix them

• Find all parallelization bugs using Helgrind (part of Valgrind; this exercise point will only work with the Intel compiler; skip this when using GNU)

Create a small CMake-built project (C or C++ or Fortran)

Define the project version as a CMake variable. In this project try to get the configure-time Git hash and the project version into the output of the code.
