C++ bootstrap project template including CMake build system

Cpp-Project-Template

Creating a (large scaling) C++ project from scratch can be cumbersome. The purpose of this project is to provide a bootstrap project layout which makes this task more easy. This includes:

• CMake build system
• Googletest C++ Testing which has no external dependencies and builds inside the project
• LCOV Code Coverage Report using -fprofile-arcs and -ftest-coverage compiler features
• Doxygen code documentation generation
• Preconfigured Jenkins CI, production ready from the start
• Travis configuration for CI in case one doesn't want to use Jenkins CI
• Vagrant Box with automagically configured Jenkins CI

Prerequisites

This project requires:

• Cross-platform Make (CMake) v2.8+
• GNU Make or equivalent
• GCC or an alternative, reasonably conformant C++ compiler
• Boost C++ Libraries v1.55+ [HEADERS and LIBRARIES]

Building

This project uses the CMake build system. However, there exists wrapper configure script together with a Makefile so that the typical build invocation of ./configure followed by make will work.
