Executables¶

Executable binaries for training, demonstration, or development-testing purposes should be added as subdirectories to the /src/executables directory. For an easy way to get started, follow these steps:

1. Duplicate Directory: Duplicate the src/executables/executable_example folder, along with its entire contents, and choose an appropriate name for the new directory. The new directory should be, for example, src/executables/your_new_directory_name.

2. Include the New Directory: In src/executables/CMakeLists.txt, add a line to include the newly created directory. Replace your_new_directory_name with the name you just chose.

   add_subdirectory(executable_example) # Existing
   add_subdirectory(your_new_directory_name) # Added
   

3. In src/executables/your_new_directory_name/CMakeLists.txt, change the target_name as follows:

   # set(targetname executable_example) # Remove
   set(targetname your_new_directory_name) # Add
   

Rerunning cmake should enable you to select the target dp_your_new_directory_name. Note that this target is excluded from all, meaning that you have to specifically select it to compile and run.
