几乎所有重要的项目都需要包含第三方库、头文件或程序。CMake支持使用find_package()
函数查找这些工具的路径。这将从CMAKE_MODULE_PATH
中的文件夹列表中搜索格式为FindXXX.cmake
的CMake模块。在Linux上,默认搜索路径将包含/usr/share/cmake/Modules
。在我的系统上,这包括对大约1420个通用第三方库的支持。
本教程中的文件如下:
$ tree
.
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── main.cpp
[CMakeLists.txt] - 包含要运行的CMake命令
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)
# Set the project name
project (third_party_include)
# find a boost install with the libraries filesystem and system
find_package(Boost 1.46.1 REQUIRED COMPONENTS filesystem system)
# check if boost was found
if(Boost_FOUND)
message ("boost found")
else()
message (FATAL_ERROR "Cannot find Boost")
endif()
# Add an executable
add_executable(third_party_include main.cpp)
# link against the boost libraries
target_link_libraries( third_party_include
PRIVATE
Boost::filesystem
)
[main.cpp] - 具有main的源文件
#include
#include
#include
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
std::cout << "Hello Third Party Include!" << std::endl;
// use a shared ptr
boost::shared_ptr isp(new int(4));
// trivial use of boost filesystem
boost::filesystem::path path = "/usr/share/cmake/modules";
if(path.is_relative())
{
std::cout << "Path is relative" << std::endl;
}
else
{
std::cout << "Path is not relative" << std::endl;
}
return 0;
}
此示例要求将Boost库安装在默认系统位置。
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev -y
如上所述,find_package()
函数将从CMAKE_MODULE_PATH
中的文件夹列表中搜索格式为FindXXX.cmake
的CMake模块。find_package
的参数的确切格式将取决于你要查找的模块。这通常记录在文件FindXXX.cmake
的顶部
下面是查找Boost的基本示例:
find_package(Boost 1.46.1 REQUIRED COMPONENTS filesystem system)
这些参数是:
Boost includes可以接受更多参数,还可以利用其他变量。更复杂的设置将在后面的示例中提供。
大多数包含的软件包都会设置一个变量XXX_FOUND
,该变量可用于检查该软件包在系统上是否可用。
在本例中,变量为BOOST_FOUND
:
if(Boost_FOUND)
message ("boost found")
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
else()
message (FATAL_ERROR "Cannot find Boost")
endif()
在找到包之后,它通常会导出变量,这些变量可以告诉用户在哪里可以找到库、头文件或可执行文件。与XXX_FOUND
变量类似,它们是特定于包的,通常记录在FindXXX.cmake
文件的顶部。
本例中导出的变量包括:
Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS
- Boost头文件的路径在某些情况下,你还可以通过使用ccmake或cmake-gui检查缓存来检查这些变量。
大多数现代CMake库在其模块文件中导出别名目标。导入目标的好处在于,它们还可以填充头文件目录和链接库。
例如,从CMake的3.5版开始,Boost模块就支持此功能。
类似于将你自己的别名目标用于库,模块中的别名可以让引用找到的目标变得更容易。
在Boost的例子中,所有目标通过使用标识符Boost::
加子模块的名字来导出。例如,你可以使用:
Boost::boost
仅适用于库的头文件Boost::system
对于Boost系统库Boost::filesystem
对于文件系统库与你自己的目标一样,这些目标包含它们的依赖项,因此链接到 Boost::filesystem
将自动添加 Boost::boost
和Boost::system
依赖。
要链接到导入的目标,可以使用以下命令:
target_link_libraries( third_party_include
PRIVATE
Boost::filesystem
)
虽然大多数现代库使用导入的目标,但并非所有模块都已更新。在库尚未更新的情况下,你通常会发现以下变量可用:
然后,可以将这些文件添加到target_include_directory和target_link_library中:
# Include the boost headers
target_include_directories( third_party_include
PRIVATE ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS}
)
# link against the boost libraries
target_link_libraries( third_party_include
PRIVATE
${Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY}
${Boost_FILESYSTEM_LIBRARY}
)
