Before you begin

Before you begin, make sure you have looked at the requirements and have installed CMake and the appropriate compilers.

This walkthrough uses files from the SimpleString example. You can find the SimpleString example in the Bifrost SDK's examples directory.

Once you have ensured that you have the required compilers and version of CMake, and have located the SimpleString example, create a directory for your project:

1. Create a top-level directory for your project.
2. Within that directory, create a src directory. This is where you will save your source files.
3. Copy the CMakeLists.txt file from the top level SimpleString example directory to your directory.
4. Copy the src/PackConfig.json.in file from the SimpleString example to your src directory.
5. Copy the src/CMakeLists.txt file from the SimpleString example to your src directory.
6. Optional: edit the CMakeLists.txt files to use different files, directories, and names than used in the example. You can find information about how to customize your CMakeLists.txt file in the Edit your CMakeLists.txt files section.
