Setting up GLM in Visual Studio 2022 using CMake

• Install GLM 1.0.1 using this guide: How to install GML 1.0.1
• Install VS 2022 and CMake using this guide: Installation of Visual Studio 2022 Community with CMake support
• Run Visual Studio
• Click on the "Create a new project" button:

• Click on the "CMake Project" and click on the "Next" button:

• Type a project name, set a project location, check the "Place solution and project in the same directory" checkbox, and click on the "Create" button:

• Wait a few seconds for configuration
• Run the project by click on the empty green triangle (or Ctrl+F5):

• The program prints "Hello CMake" to the console:

• Double click on the "CMakeLists.txt" file:

• Copy the following line to the "CMakeLists.txt" but change the GLM location on yours:

target_include_directories(hello-glm PRIVATE E:/libs/glm-1.0.1-light)

• Double click on the "hello-glm.cpp" file:

• Copy the following content to the "hello-glm.cpp" file:

#include <iostream>

#define GLM_FORCE_PURE
#include <glm/glm.hpp>

int main()
{
    glm::vec3 v1(1, 2, 3); // First vector
    glm::vec3 v2(4, 5, 6); // Second vector
    glm::vec3 r = v1 + v2; // Sum of vectors
    // Print the result:
    std::cout << "result = (" << r.x << ", " << r.y << ", " << r.z << ")" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

• Press Ctrl+F5 to run the application
• You see the result of the sum of the vectors in the console:

result = (5, 7, 9)
