- Added new entries to .gitignore to exclude generated files and directories, improving project cleanliness.
- Set minimum policy version for subdirectories in CMake to ensure compatibility with older dependencies like yaml-cpp, enhancing build reliability.
Benefits:
- Streamlined project structure by ignoring unnecessary files.
- Improved compatibility and maintainability of the CMake configuration.
- Modified the CMake configuration for yaml-cpp to use version 0.8.0 with an inline patch, ensuring compatibility with CMake 3.31+.
- Implemented a manual population and patching process to adjust the minimum required CMake version in the yaml-cpp CMakeLists.txt, enhancing build reliability.
Benefits:
- Improved compatibility with newer CMake versions.
- Streamlined dependency management for yaml-cpp.
- Refactored CMakeLists.txt to streamline project configuration and improve readability.
- Introduced new utility functions in `utils.cmake` for setting compiler flags and managing dependencies.
- Added `dependencies.cmake` to centralize third-party dependency management, enhancing modularity.
- Updated CI workflows to include new build options and improved logging for better feedback during configuration.
- Implemented precompiled headers in various libraries to speed up compilation times.
Benefits:
- Improved maintainability and clarity of the build system.
- Enhanced build performance through precompiled headers.
- Streamlined dependency management for easier integration of third-party libraries.
