This project was created by giving Cursor the following commands:
Create a new C++ hello world project
Build and run the project
Cursor generated main.cpp and the makefile and followed up with this:
-
Built the project: The make command compiled main.cpp into an executable called hello_world using g++ with C++17 standard and warning flags.
-
Ran the program: The make run command executed the compiled program, which printed "Hello, World!" to the console.
-
main.cpp - Your C++ source code
-
Makefile - Build configuration for easy compilation
-
hello_world - The compiled executable (created during build)
-
make= - Build the project
-
make run - Build and run the project
-
make clean - Remove the compiled executable
Your C++ hello world project is now fully functional and ready for further development!
