CMake is cross-platform, open-source software for managing the build process in a portable fashion. This book features a collection of recipes and building blocks with tips and techniques for working with CMake, CTest, CPack, and CDash. CMake Cookbook includes real-world examples in the form of recipes that cover different ways to structure, configure, build, and test small- to large-scale code projects.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

The author is modest in calling this book a Cookbook. It is really so much more than that. It is a well-structured tutorial and how-to as well. The recipes build on prior recipes. Everything is explained in detail, including concepts and background about CMake. The author provides a ready-made Docker image with all the needed tools pre-installed, and a Git repository with all the book's example code. You can actually edit, build, and run the examples in the Docker image as you are reading the book. This is very helpful. I was up and running the recipes in about 10 minutes (only because I needed to install Docker on my system - otherwise it would have been 2 minutes!).I am a professional embedded C++ developer who inherited a complex CMake build environment at work, which I need to enhance and modify. I had never been exposed to CMake before. This book is proving to be an extremely valuable resource for me, helping me to understand what I am dealing with and how to modify it.

Almost everything I've learned about cmake and used in my projects I've learned from this book. That includes but not limited to: projects structure, division to modules, testing, writing custom dependency find routines, windows/linux specifics. One may either go from cover to cover or just pick up necessary recipes from the toc when required.Since I'm transferring from Java to C++ and I've got plenty of books to read now, I have to sacrifice cover to cover reading of this cook book for now but will totally do that once I've got more time.

Llevo varios años usando CMake y quería darle un repaso al 'CMake moderno' para limpiar partes obsoletas de mis proyectos así que me decidí por este libro.Es un buen libro tanto para iniciarse (3 primeros capítulos) como para profundizar en temas más avanzados de CMake. Los tres primeros capítulos abarca lo más básico para comenzar con CMake. Se ve como crear un ejecutable, una librería estática o dinámica, estructuras condicionales, presentación de opciones al usuario, trabajo con librerías de terceros, ...El 4° capítulo va sobre como trabajar con pruebas unitarias. Me parece muy acertado que hayan incluido ejemplos para google test y boost test. También tiene otro ejemplo con Valgrind para detectar problemas de memoría. Aquí hecho de menos que no se haya incluido también Visual Leak Detector.Lo que no me convence es que hayan dejado para el capítulo 7 la estructuración de un proyecto CMake. Personalmente creo que es de las primeras cosas que se debería explicar.Incluye también la instalación, el empaquetado con CPack, documentación con Doxigen y Sphin, CDash.Otro acierto del libro es utilizar en los ejemplos librerías como OpenMP, Eigen, Blas, Lapack o Boost.Todos los ejemplos están en GitHub lo cual es de agradecer.

I could write a review like this. I could tell you the motivation for why we are discussing this book in this review, and then I could give you the information relevant to the review.ORINTRODUCTIONSome words about the history of reviews in general.Getting ReadyPretty soon we're going to get to it.How To Do ItLet me distract you some moreHow It WorksIf you really want to see the review, download the example here.-- Circle I Note that in 1693, the committee for reviews has not fully adopted the standard 3.x in favor of 3.x.y.z.-- Flashbulb Symbol If you are Hungarian, you probably can't understand thisThere Is More Maybe in later chapters we will actually help you get somewhere, for now we are going to slog through 10 pages to tell you what we could have done in a single small paragraph.Bottom Line: Try using this book as reference material after you've gone through it and wish to pick it up a year later to remind you of something. Not going to happen.

Il n'y a pas beaucoup d'ouvrages sur CMake, et la plupart se contentent d'imprimer le manuel.Celui-là n'a pas de grandes qualités pédagogiques et manque pas mal de recul: études de cas concrets, mais pas forcément facile de trouver des infos précises sans tout dépiauter.Mais au moins il amène de l'info sur l'usage moderne de CMake, et reste abordable et bien écrit.
