CMake Tutorial EP 3 | Git Submodules (adding glfw windowing library example)

Make this is top notch tutorial! This is such a complex topic and you make it look so easy.

This was very helpful. Thank you!!

Oh Zeus you're the real saviour, thy shal be thanked!

What if my submodule only has MakeFile not CMakeLists?

Thanks a lot for the video. Best explanation overrall.

I feel like a will become the very Lord and Savior by end of this course! Great job!

thank you

I wonder what would happen if I import two submodules with options having conflicting names, and I want to have one of them ON and other OFF.

Thank you very much!

fascinating explanation, best regards

These courses are fantastic.

Maybe someone can help and explain why do we need "target_link_directories"? And what is the difference with target_link_libraries?
I wrote the code without "target_link_directories", but with "target_link_libraries" and it still works just fine.

this tutorial is pure gold

this play list is my main reference whenever I want to use CMake, extremally helpful

Really good tutorial!!!

EXTREMELY helpful tutorial series! I've been trying to get this setup since 2014, unsuccessfully. I know I'm dumb but it's generous digital elves like you that save grace upon this wretched planet 😅

Thank you for this tutorial, as a novice in CMake, it really helped me in my project.

Awesome series. Been a great help for my project👏

Thanks for the great tutorial man, very well made and easy to understand.

You're the man!!! So easy to follow you.

If I remove the `target_include_directories(...)` it can still be run without problem. Any idea?

btw, I think -D means Define variable

i think in this example target_include_directories is not necessary as these header file directories from library are already included when building the libraries, and when you do the target_link_libraries it will add its interface_include_directories to the current target include_directories automatically.
Nice tutorial! Really appreciate it!

TY SO MUCH!!!

glfw3 is a library name but cmake needs a target, which is glfw.

Hi, thanks for the tut, I wonder what does this "#!" mean, and when I use it on my windows, the command just won't work, tells me '#!' is not recognized as an internal or external command....

This is very so good lecture!!!!! Great job!!!! Thanks!

Thanks

git into git............... I'm dead

Amazing tutorials!

This series is so great! Really push me to tick CMake off my to-learn list!!!

Literally trying to figure out how to setup a cross platform project for Linux/Windows that uses GLFW and CMake and just found this series, thankyou, such relief to have someone explain this in simple terms.

My god. Thanks a ton. Sincerely.

what happened to ur hair? on previous video u were more like Jesus, i liked it better)

I was trying to build GLFW into my project from a git submodule for 9 hours, learned compiling, learned linking, learned cmake, with the first and second tutorial... I spent 3 hours searching about how things were seen by various linkers and whatnot...

then I noticed there was a 3rd tutorial episode.

Your videos are great; make me sub to it. I have followed this video, didn't get any error, but the window didn't pop up :( What did I miss?

thankyou for your efforts bro...!

thanks for the awesome tutorial and didn't know he bring his twin brother to talk this time lol.

It probably has been mentioned below. But the target_link_directories don't seem to be needed since you actually use the names in the add_library commands and not the names of the library files. That's why you use glwf and not glwf3 since the CMakeLists.txt of GLWF uses the add_library(glfw ...) command to create the library
Well, at least as a noob, that's how see to understand it

Thanks for the video.

Cool video and explanation

OMG Somebody stole your goatee, did you have it insured ? Haha 😄 another great tutorial!!

Thank you thank you, this was the video that finally helped me get SFML configured for VSCode and CMake on a Mac.

I have subbed. Your channel is awesome. Thank you so much 🙏

Firstly , Thank you for great tutorial !
I have a question. I add git submodules glad and sdl2. when glad build , it build a glad.c and glad.h so i can't target_include it in cmake . How can i make it work ?
