The code for this recipe is available at https://github.com/dev-cafe/cmake-cookbook/tree/v1.0/chapter-09/recipe-04 and has a C++ example. The recipe is valid with CMake version 3.5 (and higher) and has been tested on GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows.
The Boost libraries offer another popular alternative to interface C++ code with Python. This recipe will show how to use CMake for C++ projects that rely on Boost.Python to expose their functionality as a Python module. We will reuse the example from the previous recipe and attempt to interact with the same C++ implementation (account.cpp) as in the Cython example.
