In 2026, CMake is the standard build tool, and Google Test is usually a safe choice. There are many example projects on GitHub to learn how to use them.
- YuechenLi 2mo agoI think you misunderstood me. I did use them at first, but it took so much effort for me to set them up and config them for that particular application (Code only Skyrim modding) where I pretty much spent an entire day debugging and diagnosing crashes in CMakeLists.txt with the only info being random forum posts and Youtube videos on the subject without having written a single line of C++ that I decided to build my own instead.
