C/C++ Cpp in visual studio: cmake and being able to compile

Click For Summary

To compile the `run_logger.cpp` file using CMake in Visual Studio, the CMakeLists.txt needs to be adjusted. The `add_executable` command should reference the target name without the `.cpp` extension, so it should be `add_executable(run_logger apps/run_logger.cpp)`. Additionally, ensure that the include directories are specified using `include_directories(include)` to allow the compiler to find `logger.h`. After making these changes, running CMake should generate the necessary build files, enabling successful compilation of the `run_logger.cpp` file.

I have the following directory of c++ files, and it looks like:

d.lib
--apps
----run_logger.cpp
----CMakeLists.txt
--include
----logger.h
--source
----logger.cpp

I want to build run_logger.cpp. I'm using Visual Studio. My CMakeLists is

Code:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)

project(d_lib)

# Add your source files
file(GLOB_RECURSE SOURCES "source/*.cpp" "include/*.h")

# Add your executable
add_executable(run_logger.cpp ${SOURCES})

How can I get this to compile? Thanks for your help.[/code]
