CMakeLists.txt <----------------- Change here
include/
inc/
build/
run.sh
README.md
source/

2. Change "exampleProjectName" to a suitable name

Example:

project(exampleProjectName LANGUAGES C)

exampleProjectName -> realProjectName

project(realProjectName LANGUAGES C)

How to: Build, compile & run

sh run main

• If not executable then

  chmod +x run

The file binary file "main" comes from source/CMakeLists.txt

target_link_libraries(sharedLibrary INTERFACE ${MATH})
