"I know it's been a while since the last installment, but I've been pretty busy, but I hope that it won't take as long to get the next episode out" - said 2 years ago. Why does the best tutorial series tend to end up this way? haha great work, tho! thanks!
Yeah, that's sad 😔. I really enjoyed this tutorials. The author is clearly an expert in the topic which is very rare in other UA-cam programming tutorials.
Excellent tutorial! Thanks for doing this. I really appreciate, especially, this particular installment as I was looking for something to help explain how to identify directories inside CMake files and scripts. This cleared that up for me.
I've watched all the videos and they are awesome, thanks for these high quality tutorials, if it wasn't them I would have taken much longer to learn cmake.
I have to downvote this one. With all the paths you say the viewer gets lost. I tried it three times and i didn't make the point. It's better to explain it in theory and maybe with a graph and not by example, at least not until the viewer thinks he got it.
Thanks for the honest feedback. I'll agree that this one is harder to follow. I'll probably create a short write-up on this topic and a helpful graphic that may give a better intuition than I could do in video form.
@@oldlonecoder5843 I'm using cmake for a few years back when 3.2 was called latest release and i did it all wrong and therefore i wrote a ruby script to generate my cmake files to generate my build files. It's a mess. But the mess does not come from the low level description for cmake commands etc. It comes from lack of non trivial examples, pitfalls, best modern practices and of course a book explaining the overall structure and ideas of the whole cmake universe. I bought the Professional CMake book two weeks ago and this is a real good christmas gift for every C++ developer. I love it, even if it still doesn't explain the overall idea and design. But its finally is a good start. Hope more people buy the book and support the author and he finds the time to add more chapters. I'm not a friend at all about programming video tutorials. When you mastered C++ well enough to have a build system complex enough to use CMake then you don't need to see the paths to understand them, you need a good description about the path idea. Think about your target audience. Professional for professionals. Be newbie friendly but don't treat newbies as dummies.

5 years ago...
Do you guys think he's still alive? 😮
Best CMake series on UA-cam hands down
Excellent tutorial! Thanks for doing this. I really appreciate, especially, this particular installment as I was looking for something to help explain how to identify directories inside CMake files and scripts. This cleared that up for me.
Still waiting for the "include" tutorial :D
I really appreciate your videos!
best tutorial on youtube.
very helpful, easier to understand complex concepts than any other tutorials until now
Hope you're good vector-of-bool
Already a year XD look like it took longer than the last gap
Next Episode: 2.5 years and waiting...
0:41 why the executable first then library?
Had the same Q
I've watched all the videos and they are awesome, thanks for these high quality tutorials, if it wasn't them I would have taken much longer to learn cmake.
Can you do an episode or a series on CTest?
Hello, very, very nice tutorial, i just finished and I am very grateful!
Is it possible to install CMake in AIX?
Its was really good series
Series 2 were very helpful to me.
Which distro are you using?
Fantastic tutorial
Great series. very helpful and informative! Can we expect further videos about CMake? It's been a while ^_°
@Elijah Galahad lol
Thanks for all video. I like all the video.
Cmake is a pain, but thanks.
