The code for this recipe is available at https://github.com/dev-cafe/cmake-cookbook/tree/v1.0/chapter-13/recipe-01 and has a C++ example. The recipe is valid with CMake version 3.5 (and higher) and has been tested on Windows.
While earlier versions of Visual Studio required developers to edit source code and run CMake commands in different windows, Visual Studio 2017 introduces built-in support for CMake projects (https://aka.ms/cmake), which allows for the entire coding, configuring, building, and testing workflow to happen within the same IDE. In this recipe, we will test this and build a simple "hello world" CMake example project directly using Visual Studio 2017, without resorting to the command line.
