Lesson progress 0%

Learn by programming: follow each step, write your own code, then apply it to the course assignment.

What you will build

A CMake console executable that prints a greeting.

Steps in this tutorial

1. 1. Create the project folder
2. 2. Configure CMake
3. 3. Write main.cpp
4. 4. Build and run

1. 1

   Create the project folder

   Create `hola-cpp/` with `CMakeLists.txt` and `main.cpp`. Open the folder in VS Code or your preferred IDE.

   Tip: Environment: /en/introduccion/entorno/

2. 2

   Configure CMake

   Run `cmake -B build` from the root. CMake generates build files inside `build/`.

   
   								cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16)
   project(hola_cpp CXX)
   add_executable(hola main.cpp)

3. 3

   Write main.cpp

   Print a greeting. This is the same skeleton you will use in class and assignments.

   
   								#include <iostream>
   
   int main() {
       std::cout << "Hola, Computacion II!" << std::endl;
       return 0;
   }
   							

   I completed this step
4. 4

   Build and run

   Run `cmake --build build` then `./build/hola` (path may vary). You should see the message in the terminal.
