A template for C/C++ projects.
Before usage remove src/.gitignore and ext/.gitignore, these are only there to allow the directory structure to be committed.
bin/.gitignore and build/.gitignore can stay as files in these directories do not need to be committed during normal usage.
The file initial-commit-message.txt can also be removed, this is used as the commit message for the master branch when I rebase before pushing to GitHub.
SETUP.bat will handle deletion of these files. It can then be modified to include functionality such as setting environment variables, as well as cloning and building external dependencies. Examples of this are provided inside the file.
Place external dependencies into the ext directory, if you wish to use a submodule clone with
git submodule add [url/to/repository].git ext/[repository]
It is recommended to add ignore = all to .gitmodules, this prevents changes to the submodule (such as building) from appearing as changes to the main repository.
On Windows, using nmake, build with
nmake /f NMAKEFILE
On Linux use
make -f MAKEFILE
The Windows NMAKEFILE is far more developed than the Linux MAKEFILE at present. This is because I usually develop on Windows. I intend to bring the MAKEFILE up to date in the near future.
