Hi,
I'm an experienced developer (40yrs+), but I'm pretty old school and have always just built a makefile that does what I want!
The scenario I'd like advice about is like this. I have a bunch of source files which go together to build a library. Fine, I have just set up a Code::Blocks project file that successfully build my library in both Release and Debug, which is great. The thing is, I have a number of additional source files which each build a standalone exeutable, linked to my library, which each test specific features of the library.
What is the best, or 'accepted' structure for doing this? I surely don't want to set up a project file for every single one of these testing tools. Also of course, it would be sweet to be able to do the equivalent of my old makefile strategy where I would just go:
make lib
make check
make install
If anyone can point me at any resources where I learn more about structuring projects, and how to achieve what I'm trying to do, I'd be really grateful!
Thanks,
k
