Oh No! More Modern CMake
summary
Shows concrete changes and practices: relative paths fixed in CMake 3.13 so target_sources works across directories, object libraries propagation clarified in CMake 3.14 (object files don’t propagate like normal linkables), and recommends using CMake 3.15+. Demonstrates using FetchContent to build GoogleTest (and workarounds for old CMP0048 policy), and using find_package in CONFIG mode for Boost 1.70+ with the new ALL component to create imported targets that are promoted to global scope.
