    # This is a CMake makefile.  CMake is a tool that helps you build C++ programs.
    # You can download CMake from http://www.cmake.org.  This CMakeLists.txt file
    # you are reading builds dlib's example programs.
    #

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10.0)
    # Every project needs a name.  We call this the "examples" project.
    project(examples)

    # Tell cmake we will need dlib.  This command will pull in dlib and compile it
    # into your project.  Note that you don't need to compile or install dlib.  All
    # cmake needs is the dlib source code folder and it will take care of everything.
    add_subdirectory(../dlib dlib_build)

    # If you have cmake 3.14 or newer you can even use FetchContent instead of
    # add_subdirectory() to pull in dlib as a dependency.  So instead of using the
    # above add_subdirectory() command, you could use the following three commands
    # to make dlib available:
    #  include(FetchContent)
    #  FetchContent_Declare(dlib
    #      GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/davisking/dlib.git
    #      GIT_TAG        v19.24
    #  )
    #  FetchContent_MakeAvailable(dlib)

    # The next thing we need to do is tell CMake about the code you want to
    # compile.  We do this with the add_executable() statement which takes the name
    # of the output executable and then a list of .cpp files to compile.  Here we
    # are going to compile one of the dlib example programs which has only one .cpp
    # file, assignment_learning_ex.cpp.  If your program consisted of multiple .cpp
    # files you would simply list them here in the add_executable() statement.
    add_executable(assignment_learning_ex assignment_learning_ex.cpp)
    # Finally, you need to tell CMake that this program, assignment_learning_ex,
    # depends on dlib.  You do that with this statement:
    target_link_libraries(assignment_learning_ex dlib::dlib)

    # To compile this program all you need to do is ask cmake.  You would type
    # these commands from within the directory containing this CMakeLists.txt
    # file:
    #   mkdir build
    #   cd build
    #   cmake ..
    #   cmake --build . --config Release
    #
    # The cmake .. command looks in the parent folder for a file named
    # CMakeLists.txt, reads it, and sets up everything needed to build program.
    # Also, note that CMake can generate Visual Studio or XCode project files.  So
    # if instead you had written:
    #   cd build
    #   cmake .. -G Xcode
    #
    # You would be able to open the resulting Xcode project and compile and edit
    # the example programs within the Xcode IDE.  CMake can generate a lot of
    # different types of IDE projects.  Run the cmake -h command to see a list of
    # arguments to -G to see what kinds of projects cmake can generate for you.  It
    # probably includes your favorite IDE in the list.
