ProjectTemplate

A gn, ninja, and googletest-based C++ project template.

Prerequisites

To build, you'll need gn, ninja, and a clang build toolchain installed on your system.

Obtaining the source

First, clone the repo. Then, initialise and fetch git submodules:

# Initialise local configuration file.
git submodule init

# Fetch data from the buildroot submodule.
git submodule update

Updating the gn buildroot

To update the git submodules to a newer commit, simply run:

git submodule update --remote

Building and running

First, generate the ninja build files under the out directory:

gn gen --args=is_debug=true out/debug
gn gen --args=is_debug=false out/release

Unit tests

To build and run the unit tests, run:

ninja -C out/debug src:foo_tests
./out/debug/foo_tests

Executable binary

To build and run the binary:

ninja -C out/debug src:foo
./out/debug/main
