Application for measuring / analyzing build times in C++ projects.

This project includes two applications:

• A simple command line application that must be called suffixing each compilation command (it measures the compilation time) for measuring the compilation time.
• A GUI application for representing the information gathered with the former app.

This application only depends on Qt 5.9 (and GTest for compiling and running the tests).

In order to configure the project properly with CMake, you could need to set the QTDIR environment variable and add the directory where the qmake executable is your PATH environment variable. This will depend on the Operative System used.

Normally on Linux you do not need to take care of that. Therefore, the configuration of the project should be as easy as:

CppBuildInfo$ mkdir build && cd build
CppBuildInfo/buildRelease$ cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/Qt/installation ../ 

For prefixing cppTimeBuild before each compilation command, you just need to set the RULE_LAUNCH_COMPILE property:

set_property(GLOBAL PROPERTY RULE_MESSAGES OFF)
set_property(GLOBAL PROPERTY RULE_LAUNCH_COMPILE "/usr/local/bin/cppTimeClient --outputFile /tmp/output.txt")
