How to create a C project with CLion
C++CCmakeClionC++ Problem Overview
since CLion has released a month ago there aren't many documents about it. So I'm confused about how to create a c project with CLion, when I want to create a new project I just asks the name of the project and creates a default main.cpp and CMakeLists.txt file which refers to main.cpp file. Well I can rename the file main.cpp to -> main.c and edit CMakeLists.txt manually but there are a few things in .txt file too, so I need some help over here.
Default CMakeLists.txt file;
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.4)
project(example)
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11")
set(SOURCE_FILES main.cpp)
add_executable(dbsg ${SOURCE_FILES})
Note: The problem might have an easier solution like create a C project instead of C++ project but I cannot see, so I have to let people who read this about the problem might have an easier solution then editing manually, thanks.
C++ Solutions
Solution 1 - C++
From the CMake file you provided, you can simply delete the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS line, or perhaps replace it with a C one like this:
set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -Wall -Werror")
The rest of it should be fine, apart from renaming main.cpp to main.c as you said.
Solution 2 - C++
Starting with version 2016.3.2 you can choose language (C or C++) and project type (Executable or Library) when creating a new project. >! (Though this was in CodeBlocks for example for as long as I remember)) And I still never figured out whether I can create my own "project". Well IMHO CLion clearly sucks in this way if compared to CodeBlocks where I CAN WRITE MY SCRIPT FOR ALMOST EVERYTHING and customize the IDE this way((()
