How to compile (on Linux)

Firstly install CMake, then, open up a terminal in the directory you wish to store the repository and clone it.

$ git clone https://github.com/adobrich/CppPrimer.git 

Now cd into the repo, create the build directory and build the solutions.

$ cd CppPrimer
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

Executable files are in the newly created 'Chapter' folders in the build directory. Enjoy.

Refer to C++ Primer Errata if you notice any inconsistencies with your version of the text book.
