This example documents a troubleshooting workflow for fixing QtCreator’s failure to detect a C++ compiler when opening a CMake project. It shows the original error log, which displays an empty `CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER` string, alongside step-by-step text instructions and two screenshots illustrating the Tools->Options->Build & Run->Kits menu. The visualization uses static Markdown text and embedded PNG images to present the diagnostic information and the manual configuration fix.

CMake 3.20 in Ubuntu 18.04 (reversible way)

This example documents a reversible procedure for upgrading CMake to version 3.20 on Ubuntu 18.04 without breaking dependent packages like ROS. It demonstrates building CMake from source using `wget` and `tar`, then packaging it with `checkinstall` to enable later removal. The process verifies the installation with `apt-cache policy` and `cmake --version`, and explains how to revert by switching versions via `apt-get install cmake=VERSION`. The instructions are written as a markdown guide, using shell commands for each step.

Custom Qt5.7 build for OSX (try to only build tools)

A build configuration script for Qt 5.7 on OSX demonstrates how to strip the framework down to only essential tools by disabling numerous modules and features. The `configure.sh` file passes flags like `-skip qt3d`, `-no-feature-webengine`, and `-nomake examples` to exclude widgets, networking, image formats, and other components. The process relies on Qt's `configure` tool, explicitly skipping modules such as `qtdeclarative`, `qtmultimedia`, and `qtwebengine`, while disabling features like `properties`, `draganddrop`, and `textedit`. This results in a minimal Qt build focused solely on core tooling, as seen in the verbose flag list.

Gist 2f9d33af99689b828572e7213a3d43f5

This visualization shows the progress and output of a Qt build process through a log file viewer. It presents the contents of `configure.log`, revealing the sequence of configuration checks, compiler tests, and build decisions for Qt 5.7.0. The display uses a plain text rendering approach, likely leveraging PyQt's text widgets to present the log data. The viewer highlights key status messages and errors, making the build process easier to scan. The implementation relies on PyQt5 APIs for the graphical interface, with the log file read directly from the source repository path.

Support CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD in older cmake versions

This example shows how to set the C++ standard in CMake while maintaining compatibility with older versions of the tool. It checks `CMAKE_VERSION` against version 3.1 and, for older versions, appends the `-std=c++11` flag to `CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS`. For newer versions, it uses the more modern `CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD` variable set to 11. The code references a Stack Overflow answer as its source, illustrating a common conditional pattern for cross-version build configuration.

Tema 3.1 Compilación CMake y corrida GEF (gdb) del programas

This example documents a terminal session that guides a user through compiling a C program with CMake and debugging it with the GNU debugger (GDB). The material is presented as a markdown file containing step-by-step commands and notes, culminating in the use of `script` and `scriptreplay` utilities to record, claim, and share the interactive terminal session. The text demonstrates the compilation and debugging workflow for a specific project, named LDI-31, while explaining how to finalize the recording, access the playback URL, and distribute the session link to others.

CMakeLists.txt enable GTest

This example shows a CMake build configuration that conditionally enables Google Test (GTest) support for a C++ project named "modio". The code defines a build-time option triggered by the `test` variable set to "on", which activates testing features. When enabled, it compiles all source files from the `src` directory into a test executable called `runUnitTests` and links it against the `gtest` and `gtest_main` libraries. The configuration also registers the executable as a CTest test named `UnitTests` using `add_test`, and it sets up the necessary include paths for GTest's headers and source directory from the `ext/googletest` subdirectory.

macvim build problem

This example visualizes the build log of MacVim from Homebrew, showing the sequence of configuration checks and compilation steps. It uses a timeline or flow layout to display each command and its output, with d3.js handling the data binding and node positioning. The visualization encodes the progress of the build process, highlighting where the configure script encounters system libraries like Python, Ruby, and Tcl. Data comes from the raw gistfile1.txt, which is parsed and mapped to individual elements in the chart.

Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ SDK Example CMake File

This example shows a minimal CMake build configuration for compiling and linking a Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ SDK project, specifically an executable named `blink`. The file sets required C and C++ standards, initializes the SDK with `pico_sdk_init()`, and defines the executable with `add_executable(blink blink.c)`. It links the `pico_stdlib` library to provide core Pico APIs, and includes `pico_add_extra_outputs` to generate additional build artifacts. Optional commented lines demonstrate enabling USB stdio via `pico_enable_stdio_usb` and adding wireless support with `pico_cyw43_arch_none`.
