NAME
cmake-modules - CMake Modules Reference
The modules listed here are part of the CMake distribution. Projects
may provide further modules; their location(s) can be specified in the
CMAKE_MODULE_PATH variable.
UTILITY MODULES
These modules are loaded using the include() command.
AddFileDependencies
Add dependencies to a source file.
ADD_FILE_DEPENDENCIES(<source> <files>)
Adds the given <files> to the dependencies of file <source>.
AndroidTestUtilities
Create a test that automatically loads specified data onto an Android
device.
Introduction
Use this module to push data needed for testing an Android device
behavior onto a connected Android device. The module will accept files
and libraries as well as separate destinations for each. It will create
a test that loads the files into a device object store and link to them
from the specified destination. The files are only uploaded if they are
not already in the object store.
For example:
include(AndroidTestUtilities)
android_add_test_data(
example_setup_test
FILES <files>...
LIBS <libs>...
DEVICE_TEST_DIR "/data/local/tests/example"
DEVICE_OBJECT_STORE "/sdcard/.ExternalData/SHA"
)
At build time a test named aexample_setup_testa will be created. Run
this test on the command line with ctest(1) to load the data onto the
Android device.
Module Functions
android_add_test_data
android_add_test_data(<test-name>
[FILES <files>...] [FILES_DEST <device-dir>]
[LIBS <libs>...] [LIBS_DEST <device-dir>]
[DEVICE_OBJECT_STORE <device-dir>]
[DEVICE_TEST_DIR <device-dir>]
[NO_LINK_REGEX <strings>...]
)
The android_add_test_data function is used to copy files and
libraries needed to run project-specific tests. On the host
operating system, this is done at build time. For on-device
testing, the files are loaded onto the device by the manufac-
tured test at run time.
This function accepts the following named parameters:
FILES <files>...
zero or more files needed for testing
LIBS <libs>...
zero or more libraries needed for testing
FILES_DEST <device-dir>
absolute path where the data files are expected to be
LIBS_DEST <device-dir>
absolute path where the libraries are expected to be
DEVICE_OBJECT_STORE <device-dir>
absolute path to the location where the data is stored
on-device
DEVICE_TEST_DIR <device-dir>
absolute path to the root directory of the on-device test
location
NO_LINK_REGEX <strings>...
list of regex strings matching the names of files that
should be copied from the object store to the testing
directory
BundleUtilities
Functions to help assemble a standalone bundle application.
A collection of CMake utility functions useful for dealing with .app
bundles on the Mac and bundle-like directories on any OS.
The following functions are provided by this module:
fixup_bundle
copy_and_fixup_bundle
verify_app
get_bundle_main_executable
get_dotapp_dir
get_bundle_and_executable
get_bundle_all_executables
get_item_key
get_item_rpaths
clear_bundle_keys
set_bundle_key_values
get_bundle_keys
copy_resolved_item_into_bundle
copy_resolved_framework_into_bundle
fixup_bundle_item
verify_bundle_prerequisites
verify_bundle_symlinks
Requires CMake 2.6 or greater because it uses function, break and PAR-
ENT_SCOPE. Also depends on GetPrerequisites.cmake.
DO NOT USE THESE FUNCTIONS AT CONFIGURE TIME (from CMakeLists.txt)!
Instead, invoke them from an install(CODE) or install(SCRIPT) rule.
fixup_bundle(<app> <libs> <dirs>)
Fix up <app> bundle in-place and make it standalone, such that it can
be drag-n-drop copied to another machine and run on that machine as
long as all of the system libraries are compatible.
If you pass plugins to fixup_bundle as the libs parameter, you should
install them or copy them into the bundle before calling fixup_bundle.
The <libs> parameter is a list of libraries that must be fixed up, but
that cannot be determined by otool output analysis (i.e. plugins).
Gather all the keys for all the executables and libraries in a bundle,
and then, for each key, copy each prerequisite into the bundle. Then
fix each one up according to its own list of prerequisites.
Then clear all the keys and call verify_app on the final bundle to
ensure that it is truly standalone.
As an optional parameter (IGNORE_ITEM) a list of file names can be
passed, which are then ignored (e.g. IGNORE_ITEM "vcre-
dist_x86.exe;vcredist_x64.exe").
copy_and_fixup_bundle(<src> <dst> <libs> <dirs>)
Makes a copy of the bundle <src> at location <dst> and then fixes up
the new copied bundle in-place at <dst>.
verify_app(<app>)
Verifies that an application <app> appears valid based on running anal-
ysis tools on it. Calls message(FATAL_ERROR) if the application is not
verified.
As an optional parameter (IGNORE_ITEM) a list of file names can be
passed, which are then ignored (e.g. IGNORE_ITEM "vcre-
dist_x86.exe;vcredist_x64.exe")
get_bundle_main_executable(<bundle> <result_var>)
The result will be the full path name of the bundleas main executable
file or an error: prefixed string if it could not be determined.
get_dotapp_dir(<exe> <dotapp_dir_var>)
Returns the nearest parent dir whose name ends with .app given the full
path to an executable. If there is no such parent dir, then simply
return the dir containing the executable.
The returned directory may or may not exist.
get_bundle_and_executable(<app> <bundle_var> <executable_var> <valid_var>)
Takes either a .app directory name or the name of an executable nested
inside a .app directory and returns the path to the .app directory in
<bundle_var> and the path to its main executable in <executable_var>.
get_bundle_all_executables(<bundle> <exes_var>)
Scans <bundle> bundle recursively for all <exes_var> executable files
and accumulates them into a variable.
get_item_key(<item> <key_var>)
Given <item> file name, generate <key_var> key that should be unique
considering the set of libraries that need copying or fixing up to make
a bundle standalone. This is essentially the file name including
extension with . replaced by _
This key is used as a prefix for CMake variables so that we can asso-
ciate a set of variables with a given item based on its key.
clear_bundle_keys(<keys_var>)
Loop over the <keys_var> list of keys, clearing all the variables asso-
ciated with each key. After the loop, clear the list of keys itself.
Caller of get_bundle_keys should call clear_bundle_keys when done with
list of keys.
set_bundle_key_values(<keys_var> <context> <item> <exepath> <dirs>
<copyflag> [<rpaths>])
Add <keys_var> key to the list (if necessary) for the given item. If
added, also set all the variables associated with that key.
get_bundle_keys(<app> <libs> <dirs> <keys_var>)
Loop over all the executable and library files within <app> bundle (and
given as extra <libs>) and accumulate a list of keys representing them.
Set values associated with each key such that we can loop over all of
them and copy prerequisite libs into the bundle and then do appropriate
install_name_tool fixups.
As an optional parameter (IGNORE_ITEM) a list of file names can be
passed, which are then ignored (e.g. IGNORE_ITEM "vcre-
dist_x86.exe;vcredist_x64.exe")
copy_resolved_item_into_bundle(<resolved_item> <resolved_embedded_item>)
Copy a resolved item into the bundle if necessary. Copy is not neces-
sary, if the <resolved_item> is athe same asa the <resolved_embed-
ded_item>.
copy_resolved_framework_into_bundle(<resolved_item> <resolved_embedded_item>)
Copy a resolved framework into the bundle if necessary. Copy is not
necessary, if the <resolved_item> is athe same asa the <resolved_embed-
ded_item>.
By default, BU_COPY_FULL_FRAMEWORK_CONTENTS is not set. If you want
full frameworks embedded in your bundles, set BU_COPY_FULL_FRAME-
WORK_CONTENTS to ON before calling fixup_bundle. By default,
COPY_RESOLVED_FRAMEWORK_INTO_BUNDLE copies the framework dylib itself
plus the framework Resources directory.
fixup_bundle_item(<resolved_embedded_item> <exepath> <dirs>)
Get the direct/non-system prerequisites of the <resolved_embed-
ded_item>. For each prerequisite, change the way it is referenced to
the value of the _EMBEDDED_ITEM keyed variable for that prerequisite.
(Most likely changing to an @executable_path style reference.)
This function requires that the <resolved_embedded_item> be inside the
bundle already. In other words, if you pass plugins to fixup_bundle as
the libs parameter, you should install them or copy them into the bun-
dle before calling fixup_bundle. The libs parameter is a list of
libraries that must be fixed up, but that cannot be determined by otool
output analysis. (i.e., plugins)
Also, change the id of the item being fixed up to its own _EMBED-
DED_ITEM value.
Accumulate changes in a local variable and make one call to
install_name_tool at the end of the function with all the changes at
once.
If the BU_CHMOD_BUNDLE_ITEMS variable is set then bundle items will be
marked writable before install_name_tool tries to change them.
verify_bundle_prerequisites(<bundle> <result_var> <info_var>)
Verifies that the sum of all prerequisites of all files inside the bun-
dle are contained within the bundle or are system libraries, presumed
to exist everywhere.
As an optional parameter (IGNORE_ITEM) a list of file names can be
passed, which are then ignored (e.g. IGNORE_ITEM "vcre-
dist_x86.exe;vcredist_x64.exe")
verify_bundle_symlinks(<bundle> <result_var> <info_var>)
Verifies that any symlinks found in the <bundle> bundle point to other
files that are already also in the bundlea| Anything that points to an
external file causes this function to fail the verification.
CheckCCompilerFlag
Check whether the C compiler supports a given flag.
check_c_compiler_flag
check_c_compiler_flag(<flag> <var>)
Check that the <flag> is accepted by the compiler without a
diagnostic. Stores the result in an internal cache entry named
<var>.
This command temporarily sets the CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS variable
and calls the check_c_source_compiles macro from the CheckCSourceCom-
piles module. See documentation of that module for a listing of vari-
ables that can otherwise modify the build.
A positive result from this check indicates only that the compiler did
not issue a diagnostic message when given the flag. Whether the flag
has any effect or even a specific one is beyond the scope of this mod-
ule.
NOTE:
Since the try_compile() command forwards flags from variables like
CMAKE_C_FLAGS, unknown flags in such variables may cause a false
negative for this check.
CheckCSourceCompiles
Check if given C source compiles and links into an executable.
check_c_source_compiles
check_c_source_compiles(<code> <resultVar>
[FAIL_REGEX <regex1> [<regex2>...]])
Check that the source supplied in <code> can be compiled as a C
source file and linked as an executable (so it must contain at
least a main() function). The result will be stored in the
internal cache variable specified by <resultVar>, with a boolean
true value for success and boolean false for failure. If
FAIL_REGEX is provided, then failure is determined by checking
if anything in the output matches any of the specified regular
expressions.
The underlying check is performed by the try_compile() command.
The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any
of the following variables prior to calling check_c_source_com-
piles():
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
Additional flags to pass to the compiler. Note that the
contents of CMAKE_C_FLAGS and its associated configura-
tion-specific variable are automatically added to the
compiler command before the contents of
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or
-DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by
<resultVar> will also be added automatically.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler.
These will be the only header search paths used by
try_compile(), i.e. the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTO-
RIES directory property will be ignored.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see
try_compile() for further details).
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These
can be the name of system libraries or they can be
Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).
CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all
status messages associated with the check will be sup-
pressed.
The check is only performed once, with the result cached in the
variable named by <resultVar>. Every subsequent CMake run will
re-use this cached value rather than performing the check again,
even if the <code> changes. In order to force the check to be
re-evaluated, the variable named by <resultVar> must be manually
removed from the cache.
CheckCSourceRuns
Check if given C source compiles and links into an executable and can
subsequently be run.
check_c_source_runs
check_c_source_runs(<code> <resultVar>)
Check that the source supplied in <code> can be compiled as a C
source file, linked as an executable and then run. The <code>
must contain at least a main() function. If the <code> could be
built and run successfully, the internal cache variable speci-
fied by <resultVar> will be set to 1, otherwise it will be set
to an value that evaluates to boolean false (e.g. an empty
string or an error message).
The underlying check is performed by the try_run() command. The
compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of
the following variables prior to calling check_c_source_runs():
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
Additional flags to pass to the compiler. Note that the
contents of CMAKE_C_FLAGS and its associated configura-
tion-specific variable are automatically added to the
compiler command before the contents of
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or
-DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by
<resultVar> will also be added automatically.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES

These will be the only header search paths used by
try_run(), i.e. the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
directory property will be ignored.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see
try_run() for further details).
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These
can be the name of system libraries or they can be
Imported Targets (see try_run() for further details).

removed from the cache.
CheckCXXCompilerFlag
Check whether the CXX compiler supports a given flag.
check_cxx_compiler_flag
check_cxx_compiler_flag(<flag> <var>)
Check that the <flag> is accepted by the compiler without a
diagnostic. Stores the result in an internal cache entry named
<var>.
This command temporarily sets the CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS variable
and calls the check_cxx_source_compiles macro from the CheckCXXSource-
Compiles module. See documentation of that module for a listing of
variables that can otherwise modify the build.
A positive result from this check indicates only that the compiler did
not issue a diagnostic message when given the flag. Whether the flag
has any effect or even a specific one is beyond the scope of this mod-
ule.
NOTE:
Since the try_compile() command forwards flags from variables like
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS, unknown flags in such variables may cause a false
negative for this check.
CheckCXXSourceCompiles
Check if given C++ source compiles and links into an executable.
check_cxx_source_compiles
check_cxx_source_compiles(<code> <resultVar>
[FAIL_REGEX <regex1> [<regex2>...]])
Check that the source supplied in <code> can be compiled as a
C++ source file and linked as an executable (so it must contain
at least a main() function). The result will be stored in the
internal cache variable specified by <resultVar>, with a boolean
true value for success and boolean false for failure. If
FAIL_REGEX is provided, then failure is determined by checking

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These
can be the name of system libraries or they can be
Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).
CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET

check_cxx_source_runs
check_cxx_source_runs(<code> <resultVar>)
Check that the source supplied in <code> can be compiled as a
C++ source file, linked as an executable and then run. The
<code> must contain at least a main() function. If the <code>
could be built and run successfully, the internal cache variable
specified by <resultVar> will be set to 1, otherwise it will be
set to an value that evaluates to boolean false (e.g. an empty

contents of CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS and its associated configura-
tion-specific variable are automatically added to the
compiler command before the contents of
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS

-DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by
<resultVar> will also be added automatically.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES

try_run(), i.e. the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
directory property will be ignored.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see
try_run() for further details).
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These
can be the name of system libraries or they can be
Imported Targets (see try_run() for further details).
CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all
status messages associated with the check will be sup-
pressed.
The check is only performed once, with the result cached in the
variable named by <resultVar>. Every subsequent CMake run will
re-use this cached value rather than performing the check again,
even if the <code> changes. In order to force the check to be
re-evaluated, the variable named by <resultVar> must be manually
removed from the cache.
CheckCXXSymbolExists
Check if a symbol exists as a function, variable, or macro in C++.
check_cxx_symbol_exists
check_cxx_symbol_exists(<symbol> <files> <variable>)
Check that the <symbol> is available after including given
header <files> and store the result in a <variable>. Specify
the list of files in one argument as a semicolon-separated list.
check_cxx_symbol_exists() can be used to check for symbols as
seen by the C++ compiler, as opposed to check_symbol_exists(),
which always uses the C compiler.
If the header files define the symbol as a macro it is consid-
ered available and assumed to work. If the header files declare
the symbol as a function or variable then the symbol must also
be available for linking. If the symbol is a type, enum value,
or C++ template it will not be recognized: consider using the
CheckTypeSize or CheckCXXSourceCompiles module instead.
NOTE:
This command is unreliable when <symbol> is (potentially) an over-
loaded function. Since there is no reliable way to predict whether a
given function in the system environment may be defined as an over-
loaded function or may be an overloaded function on other systems or
will become so in the future, it is generally advised to use the
CheckCXXSourceCompiles module for checking any function symbol
(unless somehow you surely know the checked function is not over-
loaded on other systems or will not be so in the future).
The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify
the way the check is run:
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
string of compile command line flags.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
a ;-list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar).
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
a ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
a ;-list of options to add to the link command.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
a ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. See policy
CMP0075.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
execute quietly without messages.
For example:
include(CheckCXXSymbolExists)
# Check for macro SEEK_SET
check_cxx_symbol_exists(SEEK_SET "cstdio" HAVE_SEEK_SET)
# Check for function std::fopen
check_cxx_symbol_exists(std::fopen "cstdio" HAVE_STD_FOPEN)
CheckFortranCompilerFlag
Check whether the Fortran compiler supports a given flag.
check_fortran_compiler_flag
check_fortran_compiler_flag(<flag> <var>)
Check that the <flag> is accepted by the compiler without a
diagnostic. Stores the result in an internal cache entry named
<var>.
This command temporarily sets the CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS variable
and calls the check_fortran_source_compiles macro from the CheckFor-
tranSourceCompiles module. See documentation of that module for a
listing of variables that can otherwise modify the build.
A positive result from this check indicates only that the compiler did
not issue a diagnostic message when given the flag. Whether the flag
has any effect or even a specific one is beyond the scope of this mod-
ule.
NOTE:
Since the try_compile() command forwards flags from variables like
CMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS, unknown flags in such variables may cause a
false negative for this check.
CheckFortranFunctionExists
Check if a Fortran function exists.
CHECK_FORTRAN_FUNCTION_EXISTS
CHECK_FORTRAN_FUNCTION_EXISTS(<function> <result>)
where
<function>
the name of the Fortran function
<result>
variable to store the result; will be created as an
internal cache variable.
The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify
the way the check is run:
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_com-
pile() for further details).
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be
the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets
(see try_compile() for further details).
CheckFortranSourceCompiles
Check if given Fortran source compiles and links into an executable.
check_fortran_source_compiles
check_fortran_source_compiles(<code> <resultVar>
[FAIL_REGEX <regex>...]
[SRC_EXT <extension>]
)
Checks that the source supplied in <code> can be compiled as a
Fortran source file and linked as an executable. The <code> must
be a Fortran program containing at least an end statementafor
example:
check_fortran_source_compiles("character :: b; error stop b; end" F2018ESTOPOK SRC_EXT F90)
This command can help avoid costly build processes when a com-
piler lacks support for a necessary feature, or a particular
vendor library is not compatible with the Fortran compiler ver-
sion being used. This generate-time check may advise the user of
such before the main build process. See also the check_for-
tran_source_runs() command to actually run the compiled code.
The result will be stored in the internal cache variable
<resultVar>, with a boolean true value for success and boolean
false for failure.
If FAIL_REGEX is provided, then failure is determined by check-
ing if anything in the output matches any of the specified regu-
lar expressions.
By default, the test source file will be given a .F file exten-
sion. The SRC_EXT option can be used to override this with
.<extension> insteada .F90 is a typical choice.
The underlying check is performed by the try_compile() command.
The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any
of the following variables prior to calling check_for-
tran_source_compiles():
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
Additional flags to pass to the compiler. Note that the
contents of CMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS and its associated con-
figuration-specific variable are automatically added to
the compiler command before the contents of
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or
-DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by
<resultVar> will also be added automatically.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler.
These will be the only header search paths used by
try_compile(), i.e. the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTO-
RIES directory property will be ignored.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see
try_compile() for further details).
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These
can be the name of system libraries or they can be
Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).
CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all
status messages associated with the check will be sup-
pressed.
The check is only performed once, with the result cached in the
variable named by <resultVar>. Every subsequent CMake run will
re-use this cached value rather than performing the check again,
even if the <code> changes. In order to force the check to be
re-evaluated, the variable named by <resultVar> must be manually
removed from the cache.
CheckFortranSourceRuns
Check if given Fortran source compiles and links into an executable and
can subsequently be run.
check_fortran_source_runs
check_fortran_source_runs(<code> <resultVar>
[SRC_EXT <extension>])
Check that the source supplied in <code> can be compiled as a
Fortran source file, linked as an executable and then run. The
<code> must be a Fortran program containing at least an end
statementafor example:
check_fortran_source_runs("real :: x[*]; call co_sum(x); end" F2018coarrayOK)
This command can help avoid costly build processes when a com-
piler lacks support for a necessary feature, or a particular
vendor library is not compatible with the Fortran compiler ver-
sion being used. Some of these failures only occur at runtime
instead of linktime, and a trivial runtime example can catch the
issue before the main build process.
If the <code> could be built and run successfully, the internal
cache variable specified by <resultVar> will be set to 1, other-
wise it will be set to an value that evaluates to boolean false
(e.g. an empty string or an error message).
By default, the test source file will be given a .F90 file
extension. The SRC_EXT option can be used to override this with
.<extension> instead.
The underlying check is performed by the try_run() command. The
compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of
the following variables prior to calling check_for-
tran_source_runs():
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
Additional flags to pass to the compiler. Note that the
contents of CMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS and its associated con-
figuration-specific variable are automatically added to
the compiler command before the contents of
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or
-DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by
<resultVar> will also be added automatically.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler.
These will be the only header search paths used by
try_run(), i.e. the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
directory property will be ignored.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see
try_run() for further details).
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These
can be the name of system libraries or they can be
Imported Targets (see try_run() for further details).
CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all
status messages associated with the check will be sup-
pressed.
The check is only performed once, with the result cached in the
variable named by <resultVar>. Every subsequent CMake run will
re-use this cached value rather than performing the check again,
even if the <code> changes. In order to force the check to be
re-evaluated, the variable named by <resultVar> must be manually
removed from the cache.
CheckFunctionExists
Check if a C function can be linked
check_function_exists
check_function_exists(<function> <variable>)
Checks that the <function> is provided by libraries on the sys-
tem and store the result in a <variable>, which will be created
as an internal cache variable.
The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify
the way the check is run:
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
string of compile command line flags.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
a ;-list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar).
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
a ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
a ;-list of options to add to the link command.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
a ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. See policy
CMP0075.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
execute quietly without messages.
NOTE:
Prefer using CheckSymbolExists instead of this module, for the fol-
lowing reasons:
o check_function_exists() canat detect functions that are inlined in
headers or specified as a macro.
o check_function_exists() canat detect anything in the 32-bit ver-
sions of the Win32 API, because of a mismatch in calling conven-
tions.
o check_function_exists() only verifies linking, it does not verify
that the function is declared in system headers.
CheckIPOSupported
Check whether the compiler supports an interprocedural optimization
(IPO/LTO). Use this before enabling the INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION
target property.
check_ipo_supported
check_ipo_supported([RESULT <result>] [OUTPUT <output>]
[LANGUAGES <lang>...])
Options are:
RESULT <result>
Set <result> variable to YES if IPO is supported by the
compiler and NO otherwise. If this option is not given
then the command will issue a fatal error if IPO is not
supported.
OUTPUT <output>
Set <output> variable with details about any error.
LANGUAGES <lang>...
Specify languages whose compilers to check. Languages C,
CXX, and Fortran are supported.
It makes no sense to use this module when CMP0069 is set to OLD so mod-
ule will return error in this case. See policy CMP0069 for details.
Examples
check_ipo_supported() # fatal error if IPO is not supported
set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION TRUE)
# Optional IPO. Do not use IPO if it's not supported by compiler.
check_ipo_supported(RESULT result OUTPUT output)
if(result)
set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION TRUE)
else()
message(WARNING "IPO is not supported: ${output}")
endif()
CheckIncludeFileCXX
Provides a macro to check if a header file can be included in CXX.
CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE_CXX
CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE_CXX(<include> <variable> [<flags>])
Check if the given <include> file may be included in a CXX

included together.
CHECK_INCLUDE_FILES
CHECK_INCLUDE_FILES("<includes>" <variable> [LANGUAGE <language>])
Check if the given <includes> list may be included together in a
source file and store the result in an internal cache entry
named <variable>. Specify the <includes> argument as a ;-list
of header file names.
If LANGUAGE is set, the specified compiler will be used to per-
form the check. Acceptable values are C and CXX. If not set, the
C compiler will be used if enabled. If the C compiler is not
enabled, the C++ compiler will be used if enabled.

single header file in C or CXX languages.
CheckLanguage
Check if a language can be enabled
Usage:
check_language(<lang>)
where <lang> is a language that may be passed to enable_language() such
as Fortran. If CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER is already defined the check does
nothing. Otherwise it tries enabling the language in a test project.
The result is cached in CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER as the compiler that was
found, or NOTFOUND if the language cannot be enabled. For CUDA which
can have an explicit host compiler, the cache CMAKE_CUDA_HOST_COMPILER
variable will be set if it was required for compilation.
Example:
check_language(Fortran)
if(CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER)
enable_language(Fortran)
else()
message(STATUS "No Fortran support")
endif()
CheckLibraryExists
Check if the function exists.
CHECK_LIBRARY_EXISTS
CHECK_LIBRARY_EXISTS(LIBRARY FUNCTION LOCATION VARIABLE)
LIBRARY - the name of the library you are looking for
FUNCTION - the name of the function
LOCATION - location where the library should be found
VARIABLE - variable to store the result
Will be created as an internal cache variable.
The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify
the way the check is run:
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS = list of options to pass to link command
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES = list of libraries to link
CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET = execute quietly without messages
CheckOBJCCompilerFlag
Check whether the Objective-C compiler supports a given flag.
check_objc_compiler_flag
check_objc_compiler_flag(<flag> <var>)
Check that the <flag> is accepted by the compiler without a
diagnostic. Stores the result in an internal cache entry named
<var>.
This command temporarily sets the CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS variable
and calls the check_objc_source_compiles macro from the CheckOBJC-
SourceCompiles module. See documentation of that module for a listing
of variables that can otherwise modify the build.
A positive result from this check indicates only that the compiler did
not issue a diagnostic message when given the flag. Whether the flag
has any effect or even a specific one is beyond the scope of this mod-
ule.
NOTE:
Since the try_compile() command forwards flags from variables like
CMAKE_OBJC_FLAGS, unknown flags in such variables may cause a false
negative for this check.
CheckOBJCSourceCompiles
Check if given Objective-C source compiles and links into an exe-
cutable.
check_objc_source_compiles
check_objc_source_compiles(<code> <resultVar>
[FAIL_REGEX <regex1> [<regex2>...]])
Check that the source supplied in <code> can be compiled as a
Objectie-C source file and linked as an executable (so it must
contain at least a main() function). The result will be stored
in the internal cache variable specified by <resultVar>, with a
boolean true value for success and boolean false for failure. If
FAIL_REGEX is provided, then failure is determined by checking
if anything in the output matches any of the specified regular
expressions.
The underlying check is performed by the try_compile() command.
The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any
of the following variables prior to calling
check_objc_source_compiles():
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
Additional flags to pass to the compiler. Note that the
contents of CMAKE_OBJC_FLAGS and its associated configu-
ration-specific variable are automatically added to the
compiler command before the contents of
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or
-DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by
<resultVar> will also be added automatically.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler.
These will be the only header search paths used by
try_compile(), i.e. the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTO-
RIES directory property will be ignored.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see
try_compile() for further details).
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These
can be the name of system libraries or they can be
Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).
CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all
status messages associated with the check will be sup-
pressed.
The check is only performed once, with the result cached in the
variable named by <resultVar>. Every subsequent CMake run will
re-use this cached value rather than performing the check again,
even if the <code> changes. In order to force the check to be
re-evaluated, the variable named by <resultVar> must be manually
removed from the cache.
CheckOBJCSourceRuns
Check if given Objective-C source compiles and links into an executable
and can subsequently be run.
check_objc_source_runs
check_objc_source_runs(<code> <resultVar>)
Check that the source supplied in <code> can be compiled as a
Objective-C source file, linked as an executable and then run.
The <code> must contain at least a main() function. If the
<code> could be built and run successfully, the internal cache
variable specified by <resultVar> will be set to 1, otherwise it
will be set to an value that evaluates to boolean false (e.g. an
empty string or an error message).
The underlying check is performed by the try_run() command. The
compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of
the following variables prior to calling
check_objc_source_runs():
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
Additional flags to pass to the compiler. Note that the
contents of CMAKE_OBJC_FLAGS and its associated configu-
ration-specific variable are automatically added to the
compiler command before the contents of
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or
-DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by
<resultVar> will also be added automatically.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES

These will be the only header search paths used by
try_run(), i.e. the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
directory property will be ignored.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see
try_run() for further details).
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These
can be the name of system libraries or they can be
Imported Targets (see try_run() for further details).
CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all
status messages associated with the check will be sup-
pressed.
The check is only performed once, with the result cached in the
variable named by <resultVar>. Every subsequent CMake run will
re-use this cached value rather than performing the check again,
even if the <code> changes. In order to force the check to be
re-evaluated, the variable named by <resultVar> must be manually
removed from the cache.
CheckOBJCXXCompilerFlag
Check whether the Objective-C++ compiler supports a given flag.
check_objcxx_compiler_flag
check_objcxx_compiler_flag(<flag> <var>)
Check that the <flag> is accepted by the compiler without a
diagnostic. Stores the result in an internal cache entry named
<var>.
This command temporarily sets the CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS variable
and calls the check_objcxx_source_compiles macro from the CheckOB-
JCXXSourceCompiles module. See documentation of that module for a
listing of variables that can otherwise modify the build.
A positive result from this check indicates only that the compiler did
not issue a diagnostic message when given the flag. Whether the flag
has any effect or even a specific one is beyond the scope of this mod-
ule.
NOTE:
Since the try_compile() command forwards flags from variables like
CMAKE_OBJCXX_FLAGS, unknown flags in such variables may cause a
false negative for this check.
CheckOBJCXXSourceCompiles
Check if given Objective-C++ source compiles and links into an exe-
cutable.
check_objcxx_source_compiles
check_objcxx_source_compiles(<code> <resultVar>
[FAIL_REGEX <regex1> [<regex2>...]])
Check that the source supplied in <code> can be compiled as a
Objective-C++ source file and linked as an executable (so it
must contain at least a main() function). The result will be
stored in the internal cache variable specified by <resultVar>,
with a boolean true value for success and boolean false for
failure. If FAIL_REGEX is provided, then failure is determined
by checking if anything in the output matches any of the speci-
fied regular expressions.

check_objcxx_source_runs
check_objcxx_source_runs(<code> <resultVar>)
Check that the source supplied in <code> can be compiled as a

even if the <code> changes. In order to force the check to be
re-evaluated, the variable named by <resultVar> must be manually
removed from the cache.
CheckPIESupported
Check whether the linker supports Position Independent Code (PIE) or No
Position Independent Code (NO_PIE) for executables. Use this to ensure
that the POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE target property for executables will
be honored at link time.
check_pie_supported
check_pie_supported([OUTPUT_VARIABLE <output>]
[LANGUAGES <lang>...])
Options are:
OUTPUT_VARIABLE <output>
Set <output> variable with details about any error.
LANGUAGES <lang>...
Check the linkers used for each of the specified lan-
guages. Supported languages are C, CXX, and Fortran.
It makes no sense to use this module when CMP0083 is set to OLD, so the
command will return an error in this case. See policy CMP0083 for
details.
Variables
For each language checked, two boolean cache variables are defined.
CMAKE_<lang>_LINK_PIE_SUPPORTED
Set to YES if PIE is supported by the linker and NO other-
wise.
CMAKE_<lang>_LINK_NO_PIE_SUPPORTED
Set to YES if NO_PIE is supported by the linker and NO other-
wise.
Examples
check_pie_supported()
set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE TRUE)
# Retrieve any error message.
check_pie_supported(OUTPUT_VARIABLE output LANGUAGES C)
set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE TRUE)
if(NOT CMAKE_C_LINK_PIE_SUPPORTED)
message(WARNING "PIE is not supported at link time: ${output}.\n"
"PIE link options will not be passed to linker.")
endif()
CheckPrototypeDefinition
Check if the prototype we expect is correct.
check_prototype_definition
check_prototype_definition(FUNCTION PROTOTYPE RETURN HEADER VARIABLE)
FUNCTION - The name of the function (used to check if prototype exists)
PROTOTYPE- The prototype to check.
RETURN - The return value of the function.
HEADER - The header files required.
VARIABLE - The variable to store the result.
Will be created as an internal cache variable.
Example:
check_prototype_definition(getpwent_r
"struct passwd *getpwent_r(struct passwd *src, char *buf, int buflen)"
"NULL"
"unistd.h;pwd.h"
SOLARIS_GETPWENT_R)
The following variables may be set before calling this function to mod-
ify the way the check is run:
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES = list of include directories
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS = list of options to pass to link command
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES = list of libraries to link
CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET = execute quietly without messages
CheckStructHasMember
Check if the given struct or class has the specified member variable
CHECK_STRUCT_HAS_MEMBER
CHECK_STRUCT_HAS_MEMBER(<struct> <member> <header> <variable>
[LANGUAGE <language>])
<struct> - the name of the struct or class you are interested in
<member> - the member which existence you want to check
<header> - the header(s) where the prototype should be declared
<variable> - variable to store the result
<language> - the compiler to use (C or CXX)
The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify
the way the check is run:
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES = list of include directories
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS = list of options to pass to link command
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES = list of libraries to link
CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET = execute quietly without messages
Example:
CHECK_STRUCT_HAS_MEMBER("struct timeval" tv_sec sys/select.h
HAVE_TIMEVAL_TV_SEC LANGUAGE C)
CheckSymbolExists
Provides a macro to check if a symbol exists as a function, variable,
or macro in C.
check_symbol_exists
check_symbol_exists(<symbol> <files> <variable>)
Check that the <symbol> is available after including given
header <files> and store the result in a <variable>. Specify
the list of files in one argument as a semicolon-separated list.
<variable> will be created as an internal cache variable.
If the header files define the symbol as a macro it is considered
available and assumed to work. If the header files declare the symbol
as a function or variable then the symbol must also be available for
linking (so intrinsics may not be detected). If the symbol is a type,
enum value, or intrinsic it will not be recognized (consider using
CheckTypeSize or CheckCSourceCompiles). If the check needs to be done
in C++, consider using CheckCXXSymbolExists instead.
The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify
the way the check is run:
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS
string of compile command line flags.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS
a ;-list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar).
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES
a ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS
a ;-list of options to add to the link command.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
a ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. See policy
CMP0075.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET
execute quietly without messages.
For example:
include(CheckSymbolExists)
# Check for macro SEEK_SET
check_symbol_exists(SEEK_SET "stdio.h" HAVE_SEEK_SET)
# Check for function fopen
check_symbol_exists(fopen "stdio.h" HAVE_FOPEN)
CheckTypeSize
Check sizeof a type
CHECK_TYPE_SIZE
CHECK_TYPE_SIZE(TYPE VARIABLE [BUILTIN_TYPES_ONLY]
[LANGUAGE <language>])
Check if the type exists and determine its size. On return,
HAVE_${VARIABLE} holds the existence of the type, and ${VARI-
ABLE} holds one of the following:
<size> = type has non-zero size <size>
"0" = type has arch-dependent size (see below)
"" = type does not exist
Both HAVE_${VARIABLE} and ${VARIABLE} will be created as inter-
nal cache variables.
Furthermore, the variable ${VARIABLE}_CODE holds C preprocessor
code to define the macro ${VARIABLE} to the size of the type, or
leave the macro undefined if the type does not exist.
The variable ${VARIABLE} may be 0 when CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES
has multiple architectures for building OS X universal binaries.
This indicates that the type size varies across architectures.
In this case ${VARIABLE}_CODE contains C preprocessor tests map-
ping from each architecture macro to the corresponding type
size. The list of architecture macros is stored in ${VARI-
ABLE}_KEYS, and the value for each key is stored in ${VARI-
ABLE}-${KEY}.
If the BUILTIN_TYPES_ONLY option is not given, the macro checks
for headers <sys/types.h>, <stdint.h>, and <stddef.h>, and saves
results in HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H, HAVE_STDINT_H, and HAVE_STDDEF_H.
The type size check automatically includes the available head-
ers, thus supporting checks of types defined in the headers.
If LANGUAGE is set, the specified compiler will be used to per-
form the check. Acceptable values are C and CXX.
Despite the name of the macro you may use it to check the size of more
complex expressions, too. To check e.g. for the size of a struct mem-
ber you can do something like this:
check_type_size("((struct something*)0)->member" SIZEOF_MEMBER)
The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify
the way the check is run:
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES = list of include directories
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS = list of options to pass to link command
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES = list of libraries to link
CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET = execute quietly without messages
CMAKE_EXTRA_INCLUDE_FILES = list of extra headers to include
CheckVariableExists
Check if the variable exists.
CHECK_VARIABLE_EXISTS
CHECK_VARIABLE_EXISTS(VAR VARIABLE)
VAR - the name of the variable
VARIABLE - variable to store the result
Will be created as an internal cache variable.
This macro is only for C variables.
The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify
the way the check is run:
CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS = list of options to pass to link command
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES = list of libraries to link
CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET = execute quietly without messages
CMakeAddFortranSubdirectory
Add a fortran-only subdirectory, find a fortran compiler, and build.
The cmake_add_fortran_subdirectory function adds a subdirectory to a
project that contains a fortran-only subproject. The module will check
the current compiler and see if it can support fortran. If no fortran
compiler is found and the compiler is MSVC, then this module will find
the MinGW gfortran. It will then use an external project to build with
the MinGW tools. It will also create imported targets for the
libraries created. This will only work if the fortran code is built
into a dll, so BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is turned on in the project. In addi-
tion the CMAKE_GNUtoMS option is set to on, so that Microsoft .lib
files are created. Usage is as follows:
cmake_add_fortran_subdirectory(
<subdir> # name of subdirectory
PROJECT <project_name> # project name in subdir top CMakeLists.txt
ARCHIVE_DIR <dir> # dir where project places .lib files
RUNTIME_DIR <dir> # dir where project places .dll files
LIBRARIES <lib>... # names of library targets to import
LINK_LIBRARIES # link interface libraries for LIBRARIES
[LINK_LIBS <lib> <dep>...]...
CMAKE_COMMAND_LINE ... # extra command line flags to pass to cmake
NO_EXTERNAL_INSTALL # skip installation of external project
)
Relative paths in ARCHIVE_DIR and RUNTIME_DIR are interpreted with
respect to the build directory corresponding to the source directory in
which the function is invoked.
Limitations:
NO_EXTERNAL_INSTALL is required for forward compatibility with a future
version that supports installation of the external project binaries
during make install.
CMakeBackwardCompatibilityCXX
define a bunch of backwards compatibility variables
CMAKE_ANSI_CXXFLAGS - flag for ansi c++
CMAKE_HAS_ANSI_STRING_STREAM - has <strstream>
include(TestForANSIStreamHeaders)
include(CheckIncludeFileCXX)
include(TestForSTDNamespace)
include(TestForANSIForScope)
CMakeDependentOption
Macro to provide an option dependent on other options.
This macro presents an option to the user only if a set of other condi-
tions are true. When the option is not presented a default value is
used, but any value set by the user is preserved for when the option is
presented again. Example invocation:
CMAKE_DEPENDENT_OPTION(USE_FOO "Use Foo" ON
"USE_BAR;NOT USE_ZOT" OFF)
If USE_BAR is true and USE_ZOT is false, this provides an option called
USE_FOO that defaults to ON. Otherwise, it sets USE_FOO to OFF. If
the status of USE_BAR or USE_ZOT ever changes, any value for the
USE_FOO option is saved so that when the option is re-enabled it
retains its old value. Each element in the fourth parameter is evalu-
ated as an if-condition, so Condition Syntax can be used.
CMakeFindDependencyMacro
find_dependency
The find_dependency() macro wraps a find_package() call for a
package dependency:
find_dependency(<dep> [...])
It is designed to be used in a Package Configuration File
(<PackageName>Config.cmake). find_dependency forwards the cor-
rect parameters for QUIET and REQUIRED which were passed to the
original find_package() call. Any additional arguments speci-
fied are forwarded to find_package().
If the dependency could not be found it sets an informative
diagnostic message and calls return() to end processing of the
calling package configuration file and return to the find_pack-
age() command that loaded it.
NOTE:
The call to return() makes this macro unsuitable to call from
Find Modules.
CMakeFindFrameworks
helper module to find OSX frameworks
This module reads hints about search locations from variables:
CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK_EXTRA_LOCATIONS - Extra directories
CMakeFindPackageMode
This file is executed by cmake when invoked with afind-package. It
expects that the following variables are set using -D:
NAME name of the package
COMPILER_ID
the CMake compiler ID for which the result is, i.e.
GNU/Intel/Clang/MSVC, etc.
LANGUAGE
language for which the result will be used, i.e. C/CXX/For-
tran/ASM
MODE
EXIST only check for existence of the given package
COMPILE
print the flags needed for compiling an object file which
uses the given package
LINK print the flags needed for linking when using the given
package
QUIET if TRUE, donat print anything
CMakeGraphVizOptions
The builtin Graphviz support of CMake.
Generating Graphviz files
CMake can generate Graphviz files showing the dependencies between the
targets in a project, as well as external libraries which are linked
against.
When running CMake with the --graphviz=foo.dot option, it produces:
o a foo.dot file, showing all dependencies in the project
o a foo.dot.<target> file for each target, showing on which other tar-
gets it depends
o a foo.dot.<target>.dependers file for each target, showing which
other targets depend on it
Those .dot files can be converted to images using the dot command from
the Graphviz package:
dot -Tpng -o foo.png foo.dot
The different dependency types PUBLIC, INTERFACE and PRIVATE are repre-
sented as solid, dashed and dotted edges.
Variables specific to the Graphviz support
The resulting graphs can be huge. The look and content of the gener-
ated graphs can be controlled using the file CMakeGraphVizOp-
tions.cmake. This file is first searched in CMAKE_BINARY_DIR, and then
in CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR. If found, the variables set in it are used to
adjust options for the generated Graphviz files.
GRAPHVIZ_GRAPH_NAME
The graph name.
o Mandatory: NO
o Default: value of CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME
GRAPHVIZ_GRAPH_HEADER
The header written at the top of the Graphviz files.
o Mandatory: NO
o Default: anode [ fontsize = a12a ];a
GRAPHVIZ_NODE_PREFIX
The prefix for each node in the Graphviz files.
o Mandatory: NO
o Default: anodea
GRAPHVIZ_EXECUTABLES
Set to FALSE to exclude executables from the generated graphs.
o Mandatory: NO
o Default: TRUE
GRAPHVIZ_STATIC_LIBS
Set to FALSE to exclude static libraries from the generated
graphs.
o Mandatory: NO
o Default: TRUE
GRAPHVIZ_SHARED_LIBS
Set to FALSE to exclude shared libraries from the generated
graphs.
o Mandatory: NO
o Default: TRUE
GRAPHVIZ_MODULE_LIBS
Set to FALSE to exclude module libraries from the generated
graphs.
o Mandatory: NO
o Default: TRUE
GRAPHVIZ_INTERFACE_LIBS
Set to FALSE to exclude interface libraries from the generated
graphs.
o Mandatory: NO
o Default: TRUE
GRAPHVIZ_OBJECT_LIBS
Set to FALSE to exclude object libraries from the generated
graphs.
o Mandatory: NO
o Default: TRUE
GRAPHVIZ_UNKNOWN_LIBS
Set to FALSE to exclude unknown libraries from the generated
graphs.
o Mandatory: NO
o Default: TRUE
GRAPHVIZ_EXTERNAL_LIBS
Set to FALSE to exclude external libraries from the generated
graphs.
o Mandatory: NO
o Default: TRUE
GRAPHVIZ_CUSTOM_TARGETS
Set to TRUE to include custom targets in the generated graphs.
o Mandatory: NO
o Default: FALSE
GRAPHVIZ_IGNORE_TARGETS
A list of regular expressions for names of targets to exclude
from the generated graphs.
o Mandatory: NO
o Default: empty
GRAPHVIZ_GENERATE_PER_TARGET
Set to FALSE to not generate per-target graphs foo.dot.<target>.
o Mandatory: NO
o Default: TRUE
GRAPHVIZ_GENERATE_DEPENDERS
Set to FALSE to not generate depender graphs foo.dot.<tar-
get>.dependers.
o Mandatory: NO
o Default: TRUE
CMakePackageConfigHelpers
Helpers functions for creating config files that can be included by
other projects to find and use a package.
Adds the configure_package_config_file() and
write_basic_package_version_file() commands.
Generating a Package Configuration File
configure_package_config_file
Create a config file for a project:
configure_package_config_file(<input> <output>
INSTALL_DESTINATION <path>
[PATH_VARS <var1> <var2> ... <varN>]
[NO_SET_AND_CHECK_MACRO]
[NO_CHECK_REQUIRED_COMPONENTS_MACRO]
[INSTALL_PREFIX <path>]
)
configure_package_config_file() should be used instead of the plain
configure_file() command when creating the <PackageName>Config.cmake or
<PackageName>-config.cmake file for installing a project or library.
It helps making the resulting package relocatable by avoiding hardcoded
paths in the installed Config.cmake file.
In a FooConfig.cmake file there may be code like this to make the
install destinations know to the using project:
set(FOO_INCLUDE_DIR "@CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_INCLUDEDIR@" )
set(FOO_DATA_DIR "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/@RELATIVE_DATA_INSTALL_DIR@" )
set(FOO_ICONS_DIR "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/share/icons" )
#...logic to determine installedPrefix from the own location...
set(FOO_CONFIG_DIR "${installedPrefix}/@CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR@" )
All 4 options shown above are not sufficient, since the first 3 hard-
code the absolute directory locations, and the 4th case works only if
the logic to determine the installedPrefix is correct, and if CON-
FIG_INSTALL_DIR contains a relative path, which in general cannot be
guaranteed. This has the effect that the resulting FooConfig.cmake
file would work poorly under Windows and OSX, where users are used to
choose the install location of a binary package at install time, inde-
pendent from how CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX was set at build/cmake time.
Using configure_package_config_file helps. If used correctly, it makes
the resulting FooConfig.cmake file relocatable. Usage:
1. write a FooConfig.cmake.in file as you are used to
2. insert a line containing only the string @PACKAGE_INIT@
3. instead of set(FOO_DIR "@SOME_INSTALL_DIR@"), use set(FOO_DIR
"@PACKAGE_SOME_INSTALL_DIR@") (this must be after the @PACKAGE_INIT@
line)
4. instead of using the normal configure_file(), use configure_pack-
age_config_file()
The <input> and <output> arguments are the input and output file, the
same way as in configure_file().
The <path> given to INSTALL_DESTINATION must be the destination where
the FooConfig.cmake file will be installed to. This path can either be
absolute, or relative to the INSTALL_PREFIX path.
The variables <var1> to <varN> given as PATH_VARS are the variables
which contain install destinations. For each of them the macro will
create a helper variable PACKAGE_<var...>. These helper variables must
be used in the FooConfig.cmake.in file for setting the installed loca-
tion. They are calculated by configure_package_config_file so that
they are always relative to the installed location of the package.
This works both for relative and also for absolute locations. For
absolute locations it works only if the absolute location is a subdi-
rectory of INSTALL_PREFIX.
If the INSTALL_PREFIX argument is passed, this is used as base path to
calculate all the relative paths. The <path> argument must be an abso-
lute path. If this argument is not passed, the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
variable will be used instead. The default value is good when generat-
ing a FooConfig.cmake file to use your package from the install tree.
When generating a FooConfig.cmake file to use your package from the
build tree this option should be used.
By default configure_package_config_file also generates two helper
macros, set_and_check() and check_required_components() into the
FooConfig.cmake file.
set_and_check() should be used instead of the normal set() command for
setting directories and file locations. Additionally to setting the
variable it also checks that the referenced file or directory actually
exists and fails with a FATAL_ERROR otherwise. This makes sure that
the created FooConfig.cmake file does not contain wrong references.
When using the NO_SET_AND_CHECK_MACRO, this macro is not generated into
the FooConfig.cmake file.
check_required_components(<PackageName>) should be called at the end of
the FooConfig.cmake file. This macro checks whether all requested,
non-optional components have been found, and if this is not the case,
sets the Foo_FOUND variable to FALSE, so that the package is considered
to be not found. It does that by testing the Foo_<Component>_FOUND
variables for all requested required components. This macro should be
called even if the package doesnat provide any components to make sure
users are not specifying components erroneously. When using the
NO_CHECK_REQUIRED_COMPONENTS_MACRO option, this macro is not generated
into the FooConfig.cmake file.
For an example see below the documentation for
write_basic_package_version_file().
Generating a Package Version File
write_basic_package_version_file
Create a version file for a project:
write_basic_package_version_file(<filename>
[VERSION <major.minor.patch>]
COMPATIBILITY <AnyNewerVersion|SameMajorVersion|SameMinorVersion|ExactVersion>
[ARCH_INDEPENDENT] )
Writes a file for use as <PackageName>ConfigVersion.cmake file to
<filename>. See the documentation of find_package() for details on
this.
<filename> is the output filename, it should be in the build tree.
<major.minor.patch> is the version number of the project to be
installed.
If no VERSION is given, the PROJECT_VERSION variable is used. If this
hasnat been set, it errors out.
The COMPATIBILITY mode AnyNewerVersion means that the installed package
version will be considered compatible if it is newer or exactly the
same as the requested version. This mode should be used for packages
which are fully backward compatible, also across major versions. If
SameMajorVersion is used instead, then the behaviour differs from
AnyNewerVersion in that the major version number must be the same as
requested, e.g. version 2.0 will not be considered compatible if 1.0
is requested. This mode should be used for packages which guarantee
backward compatibility within the same major version. If SameMinorVer-
sion is used, the behaviour is the same as SameMajorVersion, but both
major and minor version must be the same as requested, e.g version 0.2
will not be compatible if 0.1 is requested. If ExactVersion is used,
then the package is only considered compatible if the requested version
matches exactly its own version number (not considering the tweak ver-
sion). For example, version 1.2.3 of a package is only considered com-
patible to requested version 1.2.3. This mode is for packages without
compatibility guarantees. If your project has more elaborated version
matching rules, you will need to write your own custom ConfigVer-
sion.cmake file instead of using this macro.
If ARCH_INDEPENDENT is given, the installed package version will be
considered compatible even if it was built for a different architecture
than the requested architecture. Otherwise, an architecture check will
be performed, and the package will be considered compatible only if the
architecture matches exactly. For example, if the package is built for
a 32-bit architecture, the package is only considered compatible if it
is used on a 32-bit architecture, unless ARCH_INDEPENDENT is given, in
which case the package is considered compatible on any architecture.
NOTE:
ARCH_INDEPENDENT is intended for header-only libraries or similar
packages with no binaries.
Internally, this macro executes configure_file() to create the result-
ing version file. Depending on the COMPATIBILITY, the corresponding
BasicConfigVersion-<COMPATIBILITY>.cmake.in file is used. Please note
that these files are internal to CMake and you should not call config-
ure_file() on them yourself, but they can be used as starting point to
create more sophisticted custom ConfigVersion.cmake files.
Example Generating Package Files
Example using both configure_package_config_file() and
write_basic_package_version_file():
CMakeLists.txt:
set(INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR include/ ... CACHE )
set(LIB_INSTALL_DIR lib/ ... CACHE )
set(SYSCONFIG_INSTALL_DIR etc/foo/ ... CACHE )
#...
include(CMakePackageConfigHelpers)
configure_package_config_file(FooConfig.cmake.in
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/FooConfig.cmake
INSTALL_DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}/Foo/cmake
PATH_VARS INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR SYSCONFIG_INSTALL_DIR)
write_basic_package_version_file(
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/FooConfigVersion.cmake
VERSION 1.2.3
COMPATIBILITY SameMajorVersion )
install(FILES ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/FooConfig.cmake
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/FooConfigVersion.cmake
DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}/Foo/cmake )
FooConfig.cmake.in:
set(FOO_VERSION x.y.z)
...
@PACKAGE_INIT@
...
set_and_check(FOO_INCLUDE_DIR "@PACKAGE_INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR@")
set_and_check(FOO_SYSCONFIG_DIR "@PACKAGE_SYSCONFIG_INSTALL_DIR@")
check_required_components(Foo)
CMakePrintHelpers
Convenience functions for printing properties and variables, useful
e.g. for debugging.
cmake_print_properties([TARGETS target1 .. targetN]
[SOURCES source1 .. sourceN]
[DIRECTORIES dir1 .. dirN]
[TESTS test1 .. testN]
[CACHE_ENTRIES entry1 .. entryN]
PROPERTIES prop1 .. propN )
This function prints the values of the properties of the given targets,
source files, directories, tests or cache entries. Exactly one of the
scope keywords must be used. Example:
cmake_print_properties(TARGETS foo bar PROPERTIES
LOCATION INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES)
This will print the LOCATION and INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES proper-
ties for both targets foo and bar.
cmake_print_variables(var1 var2 .. varN)
This function will print the name of each variable followed by its
value. Example:
cmake_print_variables(CMAKE_C_COMPILER CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION DOES_NOT_EXIST)
Gives:
-- CMAKE_C_COMPILER="/usr/bin/gcc" ; CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION="2" ; DOES_NOT_EXIST=""
CMakePrintSystemInformation
Print system information.
This module serves diagnostic purposes. Just include it in a project to
see various internal CMake variables.
CMakePushCheckState
This module defines three macros: CMAKE_PUSH_CHECK_STATE()
CMAKE_POP_CHECK_STATE() and CMAKE_RESET_CHECK_STATE() These macros can
be used to save, restore and reset (i.e., clear contents) the state of
the variables CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS, CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS,
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS, CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES,
CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES and CMAKE_EXTRA_INCLUDE_FILES used by the vari-
ous Check-files coming with CMake, like e.g. check_function_exists()
etc. The variable contents are pushed on a stack, pushing multiple
times is supported. This is useful e.g. when executing such tests in
a Find-module, where they have to be set, but after the Find-module has
been executed they should have the same value as they had before.
CMAKE_PUSH_CHECK_STATE() macro receives optional argument RESET.
Whether itas specified, CMAKE_PUSH_CHECK_STATE() will set all
CMAKE_REQUIRED_* variables to empty values, same as
CMAKE_RESET_CHECK_STATE() call will do.
Usage:
cmake_push_check_state(RESET)
set(CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS -DSOME_MORE_DEF)
check_function_exists(...)
cmake_reset_check_state()
set(CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS -DANOTHER_DEF)
check_function_exists(...)
cmake_pop_check_state()
CMakeVerifyManifest
CMakeVerifyManifest.cmake
This script is used to verify that embedded manifests and side by side
manifests for a project match. To run this script, cd to a directory
and run the script with cmake -P. On the command line you can pass in
versions that are OK even if not found in the .manifest files. For
example, cmake -Dallow_versions=8.0.50608.0 -PCmakeVerifyManifest.cmake
could be used to allow an embedded manifest of 8.0.50608.0 to be used
in a project even if that version was not found in the .manifest file.
CPackComponent
Build binary and source package installers
Variables concerning CPack Components
The CPackComponent module is the module which handles the component
part of CPack. See CPack module for general information about CPack.
For certain kinds of binary installers (including the graphical
installers on macOS and Windows), CPack generates installers that allow
users to select individual application components to install. The con-
tents of each of the components are identified by the COMPONENT argu-
ment of CMakeas INSTALL command. These components can be annotated
with user-friendly names and descriptions, inter-component dependen-
cies, etc., and grouped in various ways to customize the resulting
installer. See the cpack_add_* commands, described below, for more
information about component-specific installations.
Component-specific installation allows users to select specific sets of
components to install during the install process. Installation compo-
nents are identified by the COMPONENT argument of CMakeas INSTALL com-
mands, and should be further described by the following CPack commands:
CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL
The list of component to install.
The default value of this variable is computed by CPack and con-
tains all components defined by the project. The user may set
it to only include the specified components.
Instead of specifying all the desired components, it is possible
to obtain a list of all defined components and then remove the
unwanted ones from the list. The get_cmake_property() command
can be used to obtain the COMPONENTS property, then the
list(REMOVE_ITEM) command can be used to remove the unwanted
ones. For example, to use all defined components except foo and
bar:
get_cmake_property(CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL COMPONENTS)
list(REMOVE_ITEM CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL "foo" "bar")
CPACK_<GENNAME>_COMPONENT_INSTALL
Enable/Disable component install for CPack generator <GENNAME>.
Each CPack Generator (RPM, DEB, ARCHIVE, NSIS, DMG, etca|) has a
legacy default behavior. e.g. RPM builds monolithic whereas
NSIS builds component. One can change the default behavior by
setting this variable to 0/1 or OFF/ON.
CPACK_COMPONENTS_GROUPING
Specify how components are grouped for multi-package compo-
nent-aware CPack generators.
Some generators like RPM or ARCHIVE family (TGZ, ZIP, a|) gener-
ates several packages files when asked for component packaging.
They group the component differently depending on the value of
this variable:
o ONE_PER_GROUP (default): creates one package file per compo-
nent group
o ALL_COMPONENTS_IN_ONE : creates a single package with all
(requested) components
o IGNORE : creates one package per component, i.e. IGNORE compo-
nent group
One can specify different grouping for different CPack generator
by using a CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE.
CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_DISPLAY_NAME
The name to be displayed for a component.
CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_DESCRIPTION
The description of a component.
CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_GROUP
The group of a component.
CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_DEPENDS
The dependencies (list of components) on which this component
depends.
CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_HIDDEN
True if this component is hidden from the user.
CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_REQUIRED
True if this component is required.
CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_DISABLED
True if this component is not selected to be installed by
default.
cpack_add_component
Describes a CPack installation component named by the COMPONENT argu-
ment to a CMake INSTALL command.
cpack_add_component(compname
[DISPLAY_NAME name]
[DESCRIPTION description]
[HIDDEN | REQUIRED | DISABLED ]
[GROUP group]
[DEPENDS comp1 comp2 ... ]
[INSTALL_TYPES type1 type2 ... ]
[DOWNLOADED]
[ARCHIVE_FILE filename]
[PLIST filename])
The cmake_add_component command describes an installation component,
which the user can opt to install or remove as part of the graphical
installation process. compname is the name of the component, as pro-
vided to the COMPONENT argument of one or more CMake INSTALL commands.
DISPLAY_NAME is the displayed name of the component, used in graphical
installers to display the component name. This value can be any
string.
DESCRIPTION is an extended description of the component, used in graph-
ical installers to give the user additional information about the com-
ponent. Descriptions can span multiple lines using \n as the line sep-
arator. Typically, these descriptions should be no more than a few
lines long.
HIDDEN indicates that this component will be hidden in the graphical
installer, so that the user cannot directly change whether it is
installed or not.
REQUIRED indicates that this component is required, and therefore will
always be installed. It will be visible in the graphical installer,
but it cannot be unselected. (Typically, required components are shown
greyed out).
DISABLED indicates that this component should be disabled (unselected)
by default. The user is free to select this component for installa-
tion, unless it is also HIDDEN.
DEPENDS lists the components on which this component depends. If this
component is selected, then each of the components listed must also be
selected. The dependency information is encoded within the installer
itself, so that users cannot install inconsistent sets of components.
GROUP names the component group of which this component is a part. If
not provided, the component will be a standalone component, not part of
any component group. Component groups are described with the
cpack_add_component_group command, detailed below.
INSTALL_TYPES lists the installation types of which this component is a
part. When one of these installations types is selected, this compo-
nent will automatically be selected. Installation types are described
with the cpack_add_install_type command, detailed below.
DOWNLOADED indicates that this component should be downloaded
on-the-fly by the installer, rather than packaged in with the installer
itself. For more information, see the cpack_configure_downloads com-
mand.
ARCHIVE_FILE provides a name for the archive file created by CPack to
be used for downloaded components. If not supplied, CPack will create
a file with some name based on CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME and the name of
the component. See cpack_configure_downloads for more information.
PLIST gives a filename that is passed to pkgbuild with the --compo-
nent-plist argument when using the productbuild generator.
cpack_add_component_group
Describes a group of related CPack installation components.
cpack_add_component_group(groupname
[DISPLAY_NAME name]
[DESCRIPTION description]
[PARENT_GROUP parent]
[EXPANDED]
[BOLD_TITLE])
The cpack_add_component_group describes a group of installation compo-
nents, which will be placed together within the listing of options.
Typically, component groups allow the user to select/deselect all of
the components within a single group via a single group-level option.
Use component groups to reduce the complexity of installers with many
options. groupname is an arbitrary name used to identify the group in
the GROUP argument of the cpack_add_component command, which is used to
place a component in a group. The name of the group must not conflict
with the name of any component.
DISPLAY_NAME is the displayed name of the component group, used in
graphical installers to display the component group name. This value
can be any string.
DESCRIPTION is an extended description of the component group, used in
graphical installers to give the user additional information about the
components within that group. Descriptions can span multiple lines
using \n as the line separator. Typically, these descriptions should
be no more than a few lines long.
PARENT_GROUP, if supplied, names the parent group of this group. Par-
ent groups are used to establish a hierarchy of groups, providing an
arbitrary hierarchy of groups.
EXPANDED indicates that, by default, the group should show up as
aexpandeda, so that the user immediately sees all of the components
within the group. Otherwise, the group will initially show up as a
single entry.
BOLD_TITLE indicates that the group title should appear in bold, to
call the useras attention to the group.
cpack_add_install_type
Add a new installation type containing a set of predefined component
selections to the graphical installer.
cpack_add_install_type(typename
[DISPLAY_NAME name])
The cpack_add_install_type command identifies a set of preselected com-
ponents that represents a common use case for an application. For
example, a aDevelopera install type might include an application along
with its header and library files, while an aEnd usera install type
might just include the applicationas executable. Each component iden-
tifies itself with one or more install types via the INSTALL_TYPES
argument to cpack_add_component.
DISPLAY_NAME is the displayed name of the install type, which will typ-
ically show up in a drop-down box within a graphical installer. This
value can be any string.
cpack_configure_downloads
Configure CPack to download selected components on-the-fly as part of
the installation process.
cpack_configure_downloads(site
[UPLOAD_DIRECTORY dirname]
[ALL]
[ADD_REMOVE|NO_ADD_REMOVE])
The cpack_configure_downloads command configures installation-time
downloads of selected components. For each downloadable component,
CPack will create an archive containing the contents of that component,
which should be uploaded to the given site. When the user selects that
component for installation, the installer will download and extract the
component in place. This feature is useful for creating small
installers that only download the requested components, saving band-
width. Additionally, the installers are small enough that they will be
installed as part of the normal installation process, and the aChangea
button in Windows Add/Remove Programs control panel will allow one to
add or remove parts of the application after the original installation.
On Windows, the downloaded-components functionality requires the ZipDLL
plug-in for NSIS, available at:
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ZipDLL_plug-in
On macOS, installers that download components on-the-fly can only be
built and installed on system using macOS 10.5 or later.
The site argument is a URL where the archives for downloadable compo-
nents will reside, e.g., https://cmake.org/files/2.6.1/installer/ All
of the archives produced by CPack should be uploaded to that location.
UPLOAD_DIRECTORY is the local directory where CPack will create the
various archives for each of the components. The contents of this
directory should be uploaded to a location accessible by the URL given
in the site argument. If omitted, CPack will use the directory CPackU-
ploads inside the CMake binary directory to store the generated ar-
chives.
The ALL flag indicates that all components be downloaded. Otherwise,
only those components explicitly marked as DOWNLOADED or that have a
specified ARCHIVE_FILE will be downloaded. Additionally, the ALL
option implies ADD_REMOVE (unless NO_ADD_REMOVE is specified).
ADD_REMOVE indicates that CPack should install a copy of the installer
that can be called from Windowsa Add/Remove Programs dialog (via the
aModifya button) to change the set of installed components.
NO_ADD_REMOVE turns off this behavior. This option is ignored on Mac
OS X.
CPackIFW
This module looks for the location of the command-line utilities sup-
plied with the Qt Installer Framework (QtIFW).
The module also defines several commands to control the behavior of the
CPack IFW Generator.
Commands
The module defines the following commands:
cpack_ifw_configure_component
Sets the arguments specific to the CPack IFW generator.
cpack_ifw_configure_component(<compname> [COMMON] [ESSENTIAL] [VIRTUAL]
[FORCED_INSTALLATION] [REQUIRES_ADMIN_RIGHTS]
[NAME <name>]
[DISPLAY_NAME <display_name>] # Note: Internationalization supported
[DESCRIPTION <description>] # Note: Internationalization supported
[UPDATE_TEXT <update_text>]
[VERSION <version>]
[RELEASE_DATE <release_date>]
[SCRIPT <script>]
[PRIORITY|SORTING_PRIORITY <sorting_priority>] # Note: PRIORITY is deprecated
[DEPENDS|DEPENDENCIES <com_id> ...]
[AUTO_DEPEND_ON <comp_id> ...]
[LICENSES <display_name> <file_path> ...]
[DEFAULT <value>]
[USER_INTERFACES <file_path> <file_path> ...]
[TRANSLATIONS <file_path> <file_path> ...]
[REPLACES <comp_id> ...]
[CHECKABLE <value>])
This command should be called after cpack_add_component() com-
mand.
COMMON if set, then the component will be packaged and installed
as part of a group to which it belongs.
ESSENTIAL
if set, then the package manager stays disabled until
that component is updated.
VIRTUAL
if set, then the component will be hidden from the
installer. It is a equivalent of the HIDDEN option from
the cpack_add_component() command.
FORCED_INSTALLATION
if set, then the component must always be installed. It
is a equivalent of the REQUARED option from the
cpack_add_component() command.
REQUIRES_ADMIN_RIGHTS
set it if the component needs to be installed with ele-
vated permissions.
NAME is used to create domain-like identification for this
component. By default used origin component name.
DISPLAY_NAME
set to rewrite original name configured by cpack_add_com-
ponent() command.
DESCRIPTION
set to rewrite original description configured by
cpack_add_component() command.
UPDATE_TEXT
will be added to the component description if this is an
update to the component.
VERSION
is version of component. By default used CPACK_PACK-
AGE_VERSION.
RELEASE_DATE
keep empty to auto generate.
SCRIPT is a relative or absolute path to operations script for
this component.
PRIORITY | SORTING_PRIORITY
is priority of the component in the tree. The PRIORITY
option is deprecated and will be removed in a future ver-
sion of CMake. Please use SORTING_PRIORITY option
instead.
DEPENDS | DEPENDENCIES
list of dependency component or component group identi-
fiers in QtIFW style.
AUTO_DEPEND_ON
list of identifiers of component or component group in
QtIFW style that this component has an automatic depen-
dency on.
LICENSES
pair of <display_name> and <file_path> of license text
for this component. You can specify more then one
license.
DEFAULT
Possible values are: TRUE, FALSE, and SCRIPT. Set to
FALSE to disable the component in the installer or to
SCRIPT to resolved during runtime (donat forget add the
file of the script as a value of the SCRIPT option).
USER_INTERFACES
is a list of <file_path> (a.uia files) representing pages
to load.
TRANSLATIONS
is a list of <file_path> (a.qma files) representing
translations to load.
REPLACES
list of identifiers of component or component group to
replace.

cpack_ifw_configure_file(<input> <output>)
Copies an <input> file to an <output> file and substitutes vari-
able values referenced as %{VAR} or %VAR% in the input file con-
tent. Each variable reference will be replaced with the current
value of the variable, or the empty string if the variable is
not defined.
CPack
Configure the binary and source package installers.
Introduction
The CPack module generates the configuration files CPackConfig.cmake
and CPackSourceConfig.cmake. They are intended for use in a subsequent
run of the cpack program where they steer the generation of installers
or/and source packages.
Depending on the CMake generator, the CPack module may also add two new
build targets, package and package_source. See the packaging targets
section below for details.
The generated binary installers contain everything installed via
CMakeas install() command (and the deprecated commands install_files(),
install_programs(), and install_targets()). For certain kinds of
binary installers (including the graphical installers on macOS and Win-
dows), CPack generates installers that allow users to select individual
application components to install. See CPackComponent module for fur-
ther details.
CPack Generators
The CPACK_GENERATOR variable has different meanings in different con-
texts. In a CMakeLists.txt file, CPACK_GENERATOR is a list of genera-
tors: and when cpack is run with no other arguments, it will iterate
over that list and produce one package for each generator. In a
CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE, CPACK_GENERATOR is a string naming a single
generator. If you need per-cpack-generator logic to control other
cpack settings, then you need a CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE.
The CMake source tree itself contains a CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE. See
the top level file CMakeCPackOptions.cmake.in for an example.
If set, the CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE is included automatically on a
per-generator basis. It only need contain overrides.
Hereas how it works:
o cpack runs
o it includes CPackConfig.cmake
o it iterates over the generators given by the -G command line option,
or if no such option was specified, over the list of generators given
by the CPACK_GENERATOR variable set in the CPackConfig.cmake input
file.
o foreach generator, it then
o sets CPACK_GENERATOR to the one currently being iterated
o includes the CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE
o produces the package for that generator
This is the key: For each generator listed in CPACK_GENERATOR in CPack-
Config.cmake, cpack will reset CPACK_GENERATOR internally to the one
currently being used and then include the CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE.
For a list of available generators, see cpack-generators(7).
Targets package and package_source
If CMake is run with the Makefile, Ninja, or Xcode generator, then
include(CPack) generates a target package. This makes it possible to
build a binary installer from CMake, Make, or Ninja: Instead of cpack,
one may call cmake --build . --target package or make package or ninja
package. The VS generator creates an uppercase target PACKAGE.
If CMake is run with the Makefile or Ninja generator, then
include(CPack) also generates a target package_source. To build a
source package, instead of cpack -G TGZ --config CPackConfig.cmake one
may call cmake --build . --target package_source, make package_source,
or ninja package_source.
Variables common to all CPack Generators
Before including this CPack module in your CMakeLists.txt file, there
are a variety of variables that can be set to customize the resulting
installers. The most commonly-used variables are:
CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME
The name of the package (or application). If not specified, it
defaults to the project name.
CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR
The name of the package vendor. (e.g., aKitwarea). The default
is aHumanitya.
CPACK_PACKAGE_DIRECTORY
The directory in which CPack is doing its packaging. If it is
not set then this will default (internally) to the build dir.
This variable may be defined in a CPack config file or from the
cpack command line option -B. If set, the command line option
overrides the value found in the config file.
CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR
Package major version. This variable will always be set, but
its default value depends on whether or not version details were
given to the project() command in the top level CMakeLists.txt
file. If version details were given, the default value will be
CMAKE_PROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR. If no version details were given,
a default version of 0.1.1 will be assumed, leading to
CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR having a default value of 0.
CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR
Package minor version. The default value is determined based on
whether or not version details were given to the project() com-
mand in the top level CMakeLists.txt file. If version details
were given, the default value will be CMAKE_PROJECT_VER-
SION_MINOR, but if no minor version component was specified then
CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR will be left unset. If no project
version was given at all, a default version of 0.1.1 will be
assumed, leading to CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR having a default
value of 1.
CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH
Package patch version. The default value is determined based on
whether or not version details were given to the project() com-
mand in the top level CMakeLists.txt file. If version details
were given, the default value will be CMAKE_PROJECT_VER-
SION_PATCH, but if no patch version component was specified then
CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH will be left unset. If no project
version was given at all, a default version of 0.1.1 will be
assumed, leading to CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH having a default
value of 1.
CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION
A description of the project, used in places such as the intro-
duction screen of CPack-generated Windows installers. If not
set, the value of this variable is populated from the file named
by CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_FILE.
CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_FILE
A text file used to describe the project when
CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION is not explicitly set. The default
value for CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_FILE points to a built-in
template file Templates/CPack.GenericDescription.txt.
CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY
Short description of the project (only a few words). If the
CMAKE_PROJECT_DESCRIPTION variable is set, it is used as the
default value, otherwise the default will be a string generated
by CMake based on CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME.
CPACK_PACKAGE_HOMEPAGE_URL
Project homepage URL. The default value is taken from the
CMAKE_PROJECT_HOMEPAGE_URL variable, which is set by the top
level project() command, or else the default will be empty if no
URL was provided to project().
CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME
The name of the package file to generate, not including the
extension. For example, cmake-2.6.1-Linux-i686. The default
value is:
${CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME}-${CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION}-${CPACK_SYSTEM_NAME}
CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY
Installation directory on the target system. This may be used by
some CPack generators like NSIS to create an installation direc-
tory e.g., aCMake 2.5a below the installation prefix. All
installed elements will be put inside this directory.
CPACK_PACKAGE_ICON
A branding image that will be displayed inside the installer
(used by GUI installers).
CPACK_PACKAGE_CHECKSUM
An algorithm that will be used to generate an additional file
with the checksum of the package. The output file name will be:
${CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME}.${CPACK_PACKAGE_CHECKSUM}
Supported algorithms are those listed by the string(<HASH>) com-
mand.
CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE
CPack-time project CPack configuration file. This file is
included at cpack time, once per generator after CPack has set
CPACK_GENERATOR to the actual generator being used. It allows
per-generator setting of CPACK_* variables at cpack time.
CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE
License to be embedded in the installer. It will typically be
displayed to the user by the produced installer (often with an
explicit aAccepta button, for graphical installers) prior to
installation. This license file is NOT added to the installed
files but is used by some CPack generators like NSIS. If you
want to install a license file (may be the same as this one)
along with your project, you must add an appropriate CMake
install() command in your CMakeLists.txt.
CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_README
ReadMe file to be embedded in the installer. It typically
describes in some detail the purpose of the project during the
installation. Not all CPack generators use this file.
CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_WELCOME
Welcome file to be embedded in the installer. It welcomes users
to this installer. Typically used in the graphical installers
on Windows and Mac OS X.
CPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL
Disables the component-based installation mechanism. When set,
the component specification is ignored and all installed items
are put in a single aMONOLITHICa package. Some CPack generators
do monolithic packaging by default and may be asked to do compo-
nent packaging by setting CPACK_<GENNAME>_COMPONENT_INSTALL to
TRUE.
CPACK_GENERATOR
List of CPack generators to use. If not specified, CPack will
create a set of options following the naming pattern
CPACK_BINARY_<GENNAME> (e.g. CPACK_BINARY_NSIS) allowing the
user to enable/disable individual generators. If the -G option
is given on the cpack command line, it will override this vari-
able and any CPACK_BINARY_<GENNAME> options.
CPACK_OUTPUT_CONFIG_FILE
The name of the CPack binary configuration file. This file is
the CPack configuration generated by the CPack module for binary
installers. Defaults to CPackConfig.cmake.
CPACK_PACKAGE_EXECUTABLES
Lists each of the executables and associated text label to be
used to create Start Menu shortcuts. For example, setting this
to the list ccmake;CMake will create a shortcut named aCMakea
that will execute the installed executable ccmake. Not all
CPack generators use it (at least NSIS, WIX and OSXX11 do).
CPACK_STRIP_FILES
List of files to be stripped. Starting with CMake 2.6.0,
CPACK_STRIP_FILES will be a boolean variable which enables
stripping of all files (a list of files evaluates to TRUE in
CMake, so this change is compatible).
CPACK_VERBATIM_VARIABLES
If set to TRUE, values of variables prefixed with CPACK_ will be
escaped before being written to the configuration files, so that
the cpack program receives them exactly as they were specified.
If not, characters like quotes and backslashes can cause parsing
errors or alter the value received by the cpack program.
Defaults to FALSE for backwards compatibility.
Variables for Source Package Generators
The following CPack variables are specific to source packages, and will
not affect binary packages:
CPACK_SOURCE_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME
The name of the source package. For example cmake-2.6.1.
CPACK_SOURCE_STRIP_FILES
List of files in the source tree that will be stripped. Start-
ing with CMake 2.6.0, CPACK_SOURCE_STRIP_FILES will be a boolean
variable which enables stripping of all files (a list of files
evaluates to TRUE in CMake, so this change is compatible).
CPACK_SOURCE_GENERATOR
List of generators used for the source packages. As with
CPACK_GENERATOR, if this is not specified then CPack will create
a set of options (e.g. CPACK_SOURCE_ZIP) allowing users to
select which packages will be generated.
CPACK_SOURCE_OUTPUT_CONFIG_FILE
The name of the CPack source configuration file. This file is
the CPack configuration generated by the CPack module for source
installers. Defaults to CPackSourceConfig.cmake.
CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES
Pattern of files in the source tree that wonat be packaged when
building a source package. This is a list of regular expression
patterns (that must be properly escaped), e.g.,
/CVS/;/\\.svn/;\\.swp$;\\.#;/#;.*~;cscope.*
Variables for Advanced Use
The following variables are for advanced uses of CPack:
CPACK_CMAKE_GENERATOR
What CMake generator should be used if the project is a CMake
project. Defaults to the value of CMAKE_GENERATOR. Few users
will want to change this setting.
CPACK_INSTALL_CMAKE_PROJECTS
List of four values that specify what project to install. The
four values are: Build directory, Project Name, Project Compo-
nent, Directory. If omitted, CPack will build an installer that
installs everything.
CPACK_SYSTEM_NAME
System name, defaults to the value of CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME, except
on Windows where it will be win32 or win64.
CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION
Package full version, used internally. By default, this is
built from CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR,
CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR, and CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH.
CPACK_TOPLEVEL_TAG
Directory for the installed files.
CPACK_INSTALL_COMMANDS
Extra commands to install components. The environment variable
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is set to the temporary install directory
during execution.
CPACK_INSTALL_SCRIPTS
Extra CMake scripts executed by CPack during its local staging
installation, which is done right before packaging the files.
The scripts are not called by a standalone install (e.g.: make
install). For every script, the following variables will be
set: CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR, CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR and
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX (which is set to the staging install direc-
tory). The singular form CMAKE_INSTALL_SCRIPT is supported as
an alternative variable for historical reasons, but its value is
ignored if CMAKE_INSTALL_SCRIPTS is set and a warning will be
issued.
CPACK_INSTALLED_DIRECTORIES
Extra directories to install.
CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY
Registry key used when installing this project. This is only
used by installers for Windows. The default value is based on
the installation directory.
CPACK_CREATE_DESKTOP_LINKS
List of desktop links to create. Each desktop link requires a
corresponding start menu shortcut as created by
CPACK_PACKAGE_EXECUTABLES.
CPACK_BINARY_<GENNAME>
CPack generated options for binary generators. The CPack.cmake
module generates (when CPACK_GENERATOR is not set) a set of
CMake options (see CMake option() command) which may then be
used to select the CPack generator(s) to be used when building
the package target or when running cpack without the -G option.
CSharpUtilities
Functions to make configuration of CSharp/.NET targets easier.
A collection of CMake utility functions useful for dealing with CSharp
targets for Visual Studio generators from version 2010 and later.
The following functions are provided by this module:
Main functions
o csharp_set_windows_forms_properties()
o csharp_set_designer_cs_properties()
o csharp_set_xaml_cs_properties()
Helper functions
o csharp_get_filename_keys()
o csharp_get_filename_key_base()
o csharp_get_dependentupon_name()
Main functions provided by the module
csharp_set_windows_forms_properties
Sets source file properties for use of Windows Forms. Use this,
if your CSharp target uses Windows Forms:
csharp_set_windows_forms_properties([<file1> [<file2> [...]]])
<fileN>
List of all source files which are relevant for setting
the VS_CSHARP_<tagname> properties (including .cs, .resx
and .Designer.cs extensions).
In the list of all given files for all files ending with
.Designer.cs and .resx is searched. For every designer or
resource file a file with the same base name but only .cs as
extension is searched. If this is found, the VS_CSHARP_<tag-
name> properties are set as follows:
for the .cs file:
o VS_CSHARP_SubType aForma
for the .Designer.cs file (if it exists):
o VS_CSHARP_DependentUpon <cs-filename>
o VS_CSHARP_DesignTime aa (delete tag if previously
defined)
o VS_CSHARP_AutoGen aa(delete tag if previously defined)
for the .resx file (if it exists):
o VS_RESOURCE_GENERATOR aa (delete tag if previously
defined)
o VS_CSHARP_DependentUpon <cs-filename>
o VS_CSHARP_SubType aDesignera
csharp_set_designer_cs_properties
Sets source file properties of .Designer.cs files depending on
sibling filenames. Use this, if your CSharp target does not use
Windows Forms (for Windows Forms use
csharp_set_designer_cs_properties() instead):
csharp_set_designer_cs_properties([<file1> [<file2> [...]]])
<fileN>
List of all source files which are relevant for setting
the VS_CSHARP_<tagname> properties (including .cs, .resx,
.settings and .Designer.cs extensions).
In the list of all given files for all files ending with
.Designer.cs is searched. For every designer file all files with
the same base name but different extensions are searched. If a
match is found, the source file properties of the designer file
are set depending on the extension of the matched file:
if match is .resx file:
o VS_CSHARP_AutoGen aTruea
o VS_CSHARP_DesignTime aTruea
o VS_CSHARP_DependentUpon <resx-filename>
if match is .cs file:
o VS_CSHARP_DependentUpon <cs-filename>
if match is .settings file:
o VS_CSHARP_AutoGen aTruea
o VS_CSHARP_DesignTimeSharedInput aTruea
o VS_CSHARP_DependentUpon <settings-filename>
NOTE:
Because the source file properties of the .Designer.cs file are set
according to the found matches and every match sets the
VS_CSHARP_DependentUpon property, there should only be one match for
each Designer.cs file.
csharp_set_xaml_cs_properties
Sets source file properties for use of Windows Presentation
Foundation (WPF) and XAML. Use this, if your CSharp target uses
WPF/XAML:
csharp_set_xaml_cs_properties([<file1> [<file2> [...]]])
<fileN>
List of all source files which are relevant for setting
the VS_CSHARP_<tagname> properties (including .cs, .xaml,
and .xaml.cs extensions).
In the list of all given files for all files ending with
.xaml.cs is searched. For every xaml-cs file, a file with the
same base name but extension .xaml is searched. If a match is
found, the source file properties of the .xaml.cs file are set:
o VS_CSHARP_DependentUpon <xaml-filename>
Helper functions which are used by the above ones
csharp_get_filename_keys
Helper function which computes a list of key values to identify
source files independently of relative/absolute paths given in
cmake and eliminates case sensitivity:
csharp_get_filename_keys(OUT [<file1> [<file2> [...]]])
OUT Name of the variable in which the list of keys is stored
<fileN>
filename(s) as given to to CSharp target using
add_library() or add_executable()
In some way the function applies a canonicalization to the
source names. This is necessary to find file matches if the
files have been added to the target with different directory
prefixes:
add_library(lib
myfile.cs
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/myfile.Designer.cs)
set_source_files_properties(myfile.Designer.cs PROPERTIES
VS_CSHARP_DependentUpon myfile.cs)
# this will fail, because in cmake
# - ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/myfile.Designer.cs
# - myfile.Designer.cs
# are not the same source file. The source file property is not set.
csharp_get_filename_key_base
Returns the full filepath and name without extension of a key.
KEY is expected to be a key from csharp_get_filename_keys. In
BASE the value of KEY without the file extension is returned:
csharp_get_filename_key_base(BASE KEY)
BASE Name of the variable with the computed abasea of KEY.
KEY The key of which the base will be computed. Expected to
be a upper case full filename.
csharp_get_dependentupon_name
Computes a string which can be used as value for the source file
property VS_CSHARP_<tagname> with target being DependentUpon:
csharp_get_dependentupon_name(NAME FILE)
NAME Name of the variable with the result value
FILE Filename to convert to <DependentUpon> value
Actually this is only the filename without any path given at the
moment.
CTest
Configure a project for testing with CTest/CDash
Include this module in the top CMakeLists.txt file of a project to
enable testing with CTest and dashboard submissions to CDash:
project(MyProject)
...
include(CTest)
The module automatically creates a BUILD_TESTING option that selects
whether to enable testing support (ON by default). After including the
module, use code like:
if(BUILD_TESTING)
# ... CMake code to create tests ...
endif()
to creating tests when testing is enabled.
To enable submissions to a CDash server, create a CTestConfig.cmake
file at the top of the project with content such as:
set(CTEST_NIGHTLY_START_TIME "01:00:00 UTC")
set(CTEST_SUBMIT_URL "http://my.cdash.org/submit.php?project=MyProject")
(the CDash server can provide the file to a project administrator who
configures MyProject). Settings in the config file are shared by both
this CTest module and the ctest(1) command-line Dashboard Client mode
(ctest -S).
While building a project for submission to CDash, CTest scans the build
output for errors and warnings and reports them with surrounding con-
text from the build log. This generic approach works for all build
tools, but does not give details about the command invocation that pro-
duced a given problem. One may get more detailed reports by setting
the CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS variable:
set(CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS 1)
in the CTestConfig.cmake file.
CTestCoverageCollectGCOV
This module provides the ctest_coverage_collect_gcov function.
This function runs gcov on all .gcda files found in the binary tree and
packages the resulting .gcov files into a tar file. This tarball also
contains the following:
o data.json defines the source and build directories for use by CDash.
o Labels.json indicates any LABELS that have been set on the source
files.
o The uncovered directory holds any uncovered files found by
CTEST_EXTRA_COVERAGE_GLOB.
After generating this tar file, it can be sent to CDash for display
with the ctest_submit(CDASH_UPLOAD) command.
ctest_coverage_collect_gcov
ctest_coverage_collect_gcov(TARBALL <tarfile>
[SOURCE <source_dir>][BUILD <build_dir>]
[GCOV_COMMAND <gcov_command>]
[GCOV_OPTIONS <options>...]
)
Run gcov and package a tar file for CDash. The options are:
TARBALL <tarfile>
Specify the location of the .tar file to be created for
later upload to CDash. Relative paths will be inter-
preted with respect to the top-level build directory.
SOURCE <source_dir>
Specify the top-level source directory for the build.
Default is the value of CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY.
BUILD <build_dir>
Specify the top-level build directory for the build.
Default is the value of CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY.
GCOV_COMMAND <gcov_command>
Specify the full path to the gcov command on the machine.
Default is the value of CTEST_COVERAGE_COMMAND.
GCOV_OPTIONS <options>...
Specify options to be passed to gcov. The gcov command
is run as gcov <options>... -o <gcov-dir> <file>.gcda.
If not specified, the default option is just -b -x.
GLOB Recursively search for .gcda files in build_dir rather
than determining search locations by reading TargetDirec-
tories.txt.
DELETE Delete coverage files after theyave been packaged into
the .tar.
QUIET Suppress non-error messages that otherwise would have
been printed out by this function.
CTestScriptMode
This file is read by ctest in script mode (-S)
CTestUseLaunchers
Set the RULE_LAUNCH_* global properties when CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS is on.
CTestUseLaunchers is automatically included when you include(CTest).
However, it is split out into its own module file so projects can use
the CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS functionality independently.
To use launchers, set CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS to ON in a ctest -S dashboard
script, and then also set it in the cache of the configured project.
Both cmake and ctest need to know the value of it for the launchers to
work properly. CMake needs to know in order to generate proper build
rules, and ctest, in order to produce the proper error and warning
analysis.
For convenience, you may set the ENV variable CTEST_USE_LAUNCH-
ERS_DEFAULT in your ctest -S script, too. Then, as long as your CMake-
Lists uses include(CTest) or include(CTestUseLaunchers), it will use
the value of the ENV variable to initialize a CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS cache
variable. This cache variable initialization only occurs if
CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS is not already defined. If CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS is
on in a ctest -S script the ctest_configure command will add
-DCTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS:BOOL=TRUE to the cmake command used to configure
the project.
Dart
Configure a project for testing with CTest or old Dart Tcl Client
This file is the backwards-compatibility version of the CTest module.
It supports using the old Dart 1 Tcl client for driving dashboard sub-
missions as well as testing with CTest. This module should be included
in the CMakeLists.txt file at the top of a project. Typical usage:
include(Dart)
if(BUILD_TESTING)
# ... testing related CMake code ...
endif()
The BUILD_TESTING option is created by the Dart module to determine
whether testing support should be enabled. The default is ON.
DeployQt4
Functions to help assemble a standalone Qt4 executable.
A collection of CMake utility functions useful for deploying Qt4 exe-
cutables.
The following functions are provided by this module:
write_qt4_conf
resolve_qt4_paths
fixup_qt4_executable
install_qt4_plugin_path
install_qt4_plugin
install_qt4_executable
Requires CMake 2.6 or greater because it uses function and PAR-
ENT_SCOPE. Also depends on BundleUtilities.cmake.
write_qt4_conf(<qt_conf_dir> <qt_conf_contents>)
Writes a qt.conf file with the <qt_conf_contents> into <qt_conf_dir>.
resolve_qt4_paths(<paths_var> [<executable_path>])
Loop through <paths_var> list and if any donat exist resolve them rela-
tive to the <executable_path> (if supplied) or the CMAKE_INSTALL_PRE-
FIX.
fixup_qt4_executable(<executable>
[<qtplugins> <libs> <dirs> <plugins_dir> <request_qt_conf>])
Copies Qt plugins, writes a Qt configuration file (if needed) and fixes
up a Qt4 executable using BundleUtilities so it is standalone and can
be drag-and-drop copied to another machine as long as all of the system
libraries are compatible.
<executable> should point to the executable to be fixed-up.
<qtplugins> should contain a list of the names or paths of any Qt plug-
ins to be installed.
<libs> will be passed to BundleUtilities and should be a list of any
already installed plugins, libraries or executables to also be
fixed-up.
<dirs> will be passed to BundleUtilities and should contain and direc-
tories to be searched to find library dependencies.
<plugins_dir> allows an custom plugins directory to be used.
<request_qt_conf> will force a qt.conf file to be written even if not
needed.
install_qt4_plugin_path(plugin executable copy installed_plugin_path_var
<plugins_dir> <component> <configurations>)
Install (or copy) a resolved <plugin> to the default plugins directory
(or <plugins_dir>) relative to <executable> and store the result in
<installed_plugin_path_var>.
If <copy> is set to TRUE then the plugins will be copied rather than
installed. This is to allow this module to be used at CMake time
rather than install time.
If <component> is set then anything installed will use this COMPONENT.
install_qt4_plugin(plugin executable copy installed_plugin_path_var
<plugins_dir> <component>)
Install (or copy) an unresolved <plugin> to the default plugins direc-
tory (or <plugins_dir>) relative to <executable> and store the result
in <installed_plugin_path_var>. See documentation of INSTALL_QT4_PLUG-
IN_PATH.
install_qt4_executable(<executable>
[<qtplugins> <libs> <dirs> <plugins_dir> <request_qt_conf> <component>])
Installs Qt plugins, writes a Qt configuration file (if needed) and
fixes up a Qt4 executable using BundleUtilities so it is standalone and
can be drag-and-drop copied to another machine as long as all of the
system libraries are compatible. The executable will be fixed-up at
install time. <component> is the COMPONENT used for bundle fixup and
plugin installation. See documentation of FIXUP_QT4_BUNDLE.
Documentation
This module provides support for the VTK documentation framework. It
relies on several tools (Doxygen, Perl, etc).
ExternalData
Manage data files stored outside source tree
Introduction
Use this module to unambiguously reference data files stored outside
the source tree and fetch them at build time from arbitrary local and
remote content-addressed locations. Functions provided by this module
recognize arguments with the syntax DATA{<name>} as references to
external data, replace them with full paths to local copies of those
data, and create build rules to fetch and update the local copies.
For example:
include(ExternalData)
set(ExternalData_URL_TEMPLATES "file:///local/%(algo)/%(hash)"
"file:////host/share/%(algo)/%(hash)"
"http://data.org/%(algo)/%(hash)")
ExternalData_Add_Test(MyData
NAME MyTest
COMMAND MyExe DATA{MyInput.png}
)
ExternalData_Add_Target(MyData)
When test MyTest runs the DATA{MyInput.png} argument will be replaced
by the full path to a real instance of the data file MyInput.png on
disk. If the source tree contains a content link such as MyIn-
put.png.md5 then the MyData target creates a real MyInput.png in the
build tree.
Module Functions
ExternalData_Expand_Arguments
The ExternalData_Expand_Arguments function evaluates DATA{} ref-
erences in its arguments and constructs a new list of arguments:
ExternalData_Expand_Arguments(
<target> # Name of data management target
<outVar> # Output variable
[args...] # Input arguments, DATA{} allowed
)
It replaces each DATA{} reference in an argument with the full
path of a real data file on disk that will exist after the <tar-
get> builds.
ExternalData_Add_Test
The ExternalData_Add_Test function wraps around the CMake
add_test() command but supports DATA{} references in its argu-
ments:
ExternalData_Add_Test(
<target> # Name of data management target
... # Arguments of add_test(), DATA{} allowed
)
It passes its arguments through ExternalData_Expand_Arguments
and then invokes the add_test() command using the results.
ExternalData_Add_Target
The ExternalData_Add_Target function creates a custom target to
manage local instances of data files stored externally:
ExternalData_Add_Target(
<target> # Name of data management target
)
It creates custom commands in the target as necessary to make
data files available for each DATA{} reference previously evalu-
ated by other functions provided by this module. Data files may
be fetched from one of the URL templates specified in the Exter-
nalData_URL_TEMPLATES variable, or may be found locally in one
of the paths specified in the ExternalData_OBJECT_STORES vari-
able.
Typically only one target is needed to manage all external data
within a project. Call this function once at the end of config-
uration after all data references have been processed.
Module Variables
The following variables configure behavior. They should be set before
calling any of the functions provided by this module.
ExternalData_BINARY_ROOT
The ExternalData_BINARY_ROOT variable may be set to the direc-
tory to hold the real data files named by expanded DATA{} refer-
ences. The default is CMAKE_BINARY_DIR. The directory layout
will mirror that of content links under External-
Data_SOURCE_ROOT.
ExternalData_CUSTOM_SCRIPT_<key>
Specify a full path to a .cmake custom fetch script identified
by <key> in entries of the ExternalData_URL_TEMPLATES list. See
Custom Fetch Scripts.
ExternalData_LINK_CONTENT
The ExternalData_LINK_CONTENT variable may be set to the name of
a supported hash algorithm to enable automatic conversion of
real data files referenced by the DATA{} syntax into content
links. For each such <file> a content link named <file><ext> is
created. The original file is renamed to the form .External-
Data_<algo>_<hash> to stage it for future transmission to one of
the locations in the list of URL templates (by means outside the
scope of this module). The data fetch rule created for the con-
tent link will use the staged object if it cannot be found using
any URL template.
ExternalData_NO_SYMLINKS
The real data files named by expanded DATA{} references may be
made available under ExternalData_BINARY_ROOT using symbolic
links on some platforms. The ExternalData_NO_SYMLINKS variable
may be set to disable use of symbolic links and enable use of
copies instead.
ExternalData_OBJECT_STORES
The ExternalData_OBJECT_STORES variable may be set to a list of
local directories that store objects using the layout
<dir>/%(algo)/%(hash). These directories will be searched first
for a needed object. If the object is not available in any
store then it will be fetched remotely using the URL templates
and added to the first local store listed. If no stores are
specified the default is a location inside the build tree.
ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE
ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE_PREFIX
ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE_NUMBER
ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE_SUFFIX
ExternalData_SERIES_MATCH
See Referencing File Series.
ExternalData_SOURCE_ROOT
The ExternalData_SOURCE_ROOT variable may be set to the highest
source directory containing any path named by a DATA{} refer-
ence. The default is CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR. External-
Data_SOURCE_ROOT and CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR must refer to directories
within a single source distribution (e.g. they come together in
one tarball).
ExternalData_TIMEOUT_ABSOLUTE
The ExternalData_TIMEOUT_ABSOLUTE variable sets the download
absolute timeout, in seconds, with a default of 300 seconds.
Set to 0 to disable enforcement.
ExternalData_TIMEOUT_INACTIVITY
The ExternalData_TIMEOUT_INACTIVITY variable sets the download
inactivity timeout, in seconds, with a default of 60 seconds.
Set to 0 to disable enforcement.
ExternalData_URL_ALGO_<algo>_<key>
Specify a custom URL component to be substituted for URL tem-
plate placeholders of the form %(algo:<key>), where <key> is a
valid C identifier, when fetching an object referenced via hash
algorithm <algo>. If not defined, the default URL component is
just <algo> for any <key>.
ExternalData_URL_TEMPLATES
The ExternalData_URL_TEMPLATES may be set to provide a list of
of URL templates using the placeholders %(algo) and %(hash) in
each template. Data fetch rules try each URL template in order
by substituting the hash algorithm name for %(algo) and the hash
value for %(hash). Alternatively one may use %(algo:<key>) with
ExternalData_URL_ALGO_<algo>_<key> variables to gain more flexi-
bility in remote URLs.
Referencing Files
Referencing Single Files
The DATA{} syntax is literal and the <name> is a full or relative path
within the source tree. The source tree must contain either a real
data file at <name> or a acontent linka at <name><ext> containing a
hash of the real file using a hash algorithm corresponding to <ext>.
For example, the argument DATA{img.png} may be satisfied by either a
real img.png file in the current source directory or a img.png.md5 file
containing its MD5 sum.
Multiple content links of the same name with different hash algorithms
are supported (e.g. img.png.sha256 and img.png.sha1) so long as they
all correspond to the same real file. This allows objects to be
fetched from sources indexed by different hash algorithms.
Referencing File Series
The DATA{} syntax can be told to fetch a file series using the form
DATA{<name>,:}, where the : is literal. If the source tree contains a
group of files or content links named like a series then a reference to
one member adds rules to fetch all of them. Although all members of a
series are fetched, only the file originally named by the DATA{} argu-
ment is substituted for it. The default configuration recognizes file
series names ending with #.ext, _#.ext, .#.ext, or -#.ext where # is a
sequence of decimal digits and .ext is any single extension. Configure
it with a regex that parses <number> and <suffix> parts from the end of
<name>:
ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE = regex of the form (<number>)(<suffix>)$
For more complicated cases set:
ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE = regex with at least two () groups
ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE_PREFIX = <prefix> regex group number, if any
ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE_NUMBER = <number> regex group number
ExternalData_SERIES_PARSE_SUFFIX = <suffix> regex group number
Configure series number matching with a regex that matches the <number>
part of series members named <prefix><number><suffix>:
ExternalData_SERIES_MATCH = regex matching <number> in all series members
Note that the <suffix> of a series does not include a hash-algorithm
extension.
Referencing Associated Files
The DATA{} syntax can alternatively match files associated with the
named file and contained in the same directory. Associated files may
be specified by options using the syntax
DATA{<name>,<opt1>,<opt2>,...}. Each option may specify one file by
name or specify a regular expression to match file names using the syn-
tax REGEX:<regex>. For example, the arguments:
DATA{MyData/MyInput.mhd,MyInput.img} # File pair
DATA{MyData/MyFrames00.png,REGEX:MyFrames[0-9]+\\.png} # Series
will pass MyInput.mha and MyFrames00.png on the command line but ensure
that the associated files are present next to them.
Referencing Directories
The DATA{} syntax may reference a directory using a trailing slash and
a list of associated files. The form DATA{<name>/,<opt1>,<opt2>,...}
adds rules to fetch any files in the directory that match one of the
associated file options. For example, the argument
DATA{MyDataDir/,REGEX:.*} will pass the full path to a MyDataDir direc-
tory on the command line and ensure that the directory contains files
corresponding to every file or content link in the MyDataDir source
directory. In order to match associated files in subdirectories, spec-
ify a RECURSE: option, e.g. DATA{MyDataDir/,RECURSE:,REGEX:.*}.
Hash Algorithms
The following hash algorithms are supported:
%(algo) <ext> Description
------- ----- -----------
MD5 .md5 Message-Digest Algorithm 5, RFC 1321
SHA1 .sha1 US Secure Hash Algorithm 1, RFC 3174
SHA224 .sha224 US Secure Hash Algorithms, RFC 4634
SHA256 .sha256 US Secure Hash Algorithms, RFC 4634
SHA384 .sha384 US Secure Hash Algorithms, RFC 4634
SHA512 .sha512 US Secure Hash Algorithms, RFC 4634
SHA3_224 .sha3-224 Keccak SHA-3
SHA3_256 .sha3-256 Keccak SHA-3
SHA3_384 .sha3-384 Keccak SHA-3
SHA3_512 .sha3-512 Keccak SHA-3
Note that the hashes are used only for unique data identification and
download verification.
Custom Fetch Scripts
When a data file must be fetched from one of the URL templates speci-
fied in the ExternalData_URL_TEMPLATES variable, it is normally down-
loaded using the file(DOWNLOAD) command. One may specify usage of a
custom fetch script by using a URL template of the form ExternalData-
CustomScript://<key>/<loc>. The <key> must be a C identifier, and the
<loc> must contain the %(algo) and %(hash) placeholders. A variable
corresponding to the key, ExternalData_CUSTOM_SCRIPT_<key>, must be set
to the full path to a .cmake script file. The script will be included
to perform the actual fetch, and provided with the following variables:
ExternalData_CUSTOM_LOCATION
When a custom fetch script is loaded, this variable is set to
the location part of the URL, which will contain the substituted
hash algorithm name and content hash value.
ExternalData_CUSTOM_FILE
When a custom fetch script is loaded, this variable is set to
the full path to a file in which the script must store the
fetched content. The name of the file is unspecified and should
not be interpreted in any way.
The custom fetch script is expected to store fetched content in the
file or set a variable:
ExternalData_CUSTOM_ERROR
When a custom fetch script fails to fetch the requested content,
it must set this variable to a short one-line message describing
the reason for failure.
ExternalProject
External Project Definition
ExternalProject_Add
The ExternalProject_Add() function creates a custom target to
drive download, update/patch, configure, build, install and test
steps of an external project:
ExternalProject_Add(<name> [<option>...])
The individual steps within the process can be driven indepen-
dently if required (e.g. for CDash submission) and extra custom
steps can be defined, along with the ability to control the step
dependencies. The directory structure used for the management of
the external project can also be customized. The function sup-
ports a large number of options which can be used to tailor the
external project behavior.
Directory Options:
Most of the time, the default directory layout is suffi-
cient. It is largely an implementation detail that the
main project usually doesnat need to change. In some cir-
cumstances, however, control over the directory layout
can be useful or necessary. The directory options are
potentially more useful from the point of view that the
main build can use the ExternalProject_Get_Property()
command to retrieve their values, thereby allowing the
main project to refer to build artifacts of the external
project.
PREFIX <dir>
Root directory for the external project. Unless
otherwise noted below, all other directories asso-
ciated with the external project will be created
under here.
TMP_DIR <dir>
Directory in which to store temporary files.
STAMP_DIR <dir>
Directory in which to store the timestamps of each
step. Log files from individual steps are also
created in here unless overridden by LOG_DIR (see
Logging Options below).
LOG_DIR <dir>
Directory in which to store the logs of each step.
DOWNLOAD_DIR <dir>
Directory in which to store downloaded files
before unpacking them. This directory is only used
by the URL download method, all other download
methods use SOURCE_DIR directly instead.
SOURCE_DIR <dir>
Source directory into which downloaded contents
will be unpacked, or for non-URL download methods,
the directory in which the repository should be
checked out, cloned, etc. If no download method is
specified, this must point to an existing direc-
tory where the external project has already been
unpacked or cloned/checked out.
NOTE:
If a download method is specified, any existing
contents of the source directory may be
deleted. Only the URL download method checks
whether this directory is either missing or
empty before initiating the download, stopping
with an error if it is not empty. All other
download methods silently discard any previous
contents of the source directory.
BINARY_DIR <dir>
Specify the build directory location. This option
is ignored if BUILD_IN_SOURCE is enabled.
INSTALL_DIR <dir>
Installation prefix to be placed in the
<INSTALL_DIR> placeholder. This does not actually
configure the external project to install to the
given prefix. That must be done by passing appro-
priate arguments to the external project configu-
ration step, e.g. using <INSTALL_DIR>.
If any of the above ..._DIR options are not specified,
their defaults are computed as follows. If the PREFIX
option is given or the EP_PREFIX directory property is
set, then an external project is built and installed
under the specified prefix:
TMP_DIR = <prefix>/tmp
STAMP_DIR = <prefix>/src/<name>-stamp
DOWNLOAD_DIR = <prefix>/src
SOURCE_DIR = <prefix>/src/<name>
BINARY_DIR = <prefix>/src/<name>-build
INSTALL_DIR = <prefix>
LOG_DIR = <STAMP_DIR>
Otherwise, if the EP_BASE directory property is set then
components of an external project are stored under the
specified base:
TMP_DIR = <base>/tmp/<name>
STAMP_DIR = <base>/Stamp/<name>
DOWNLOAD_DIR = <base>/Download/<name>
SOURCE_DIR = <base>/Source/<name>
BINARY_DIR = <base>/Build/<name>
INSTALL_DIR = <base>/Install/<name>
LOG_DIR = <STAMP_DIR>
If no PREFIX, EP_PREFIX, or EP_BASE is specified, then
the default is to set PREFIX to <name>-prefix. Relative
paths are interpreted with respect to CMAKE_CUR-
RENT_BINARY_DIR at the point where ExternalProject_Add()
is called.
Download Step Options:
A download method can be omitted if the SOURCE_DIR option
is used to point to an existing non-empty directory. Oth-
erwise, one of the download methods below must be speci-
fied (multiple download methods should not be given) or a
custom DOWNLOAD_COMMAND provided.
DOWNLOAD_COMMAND <cmd>...
Overrides the command used for the download step
(generator expressions are supported). If this
option is specified, all other download options
will be ignored. Providing an empty string for
<cmd> effectively disables the download step.
URL Download
URL <url1> [<url2>...]
List of paths and/or URL(s) of the external
projectas source. When more than one URL is
given, they are tried in turn until one
succeeds. A URL may be an ordinary path in
the local file system (in which case it
must be the only URL provided) or any down-
loadable URL supported by the file(DOWN-
LOAD) command. A local filesystem path may
refer to either an existing directory or to
an archive file, whereas a URL is expected
to point to a file which can be treated as
an archive. When an archive is used, it
will be unpacked automatically unless the
DOWNLOAD_NO_EXTRACT option is set to pre-
vent it. The archive type is determined by
inspecting the actual content rather than
using logic based on the file extension.
URL_HASH <algo>=<hashValue>
Hash of the archive file to be downloaded.
The argument should be of the form
<algo>=<hashValue> where algo can be any of
the hashing algorithms supported by the
file() command. Specifying this option is
strongly recommended for URL downloads, as
it ensures the integrity of the downloaded
content. It is also used as a check for a
previously downloaded file, allowing con-
nection to the remote location to be
avoided altogether if the local directory
already has a file from an earlier download
that matches the specified hash.
URL_MD5 <md5>
Equivalent to URL_HASH MD5=<md5>.
DOWNLOAD_NAME <fname>
File name to use for the downloaded file.
If not given, the end of the URL is used to
determine the file name. This option is
rarely needed, the default name is gener-
ally suitable and is not normally used out-
side of code internal to the ExternalPro-
ject module.
DOWNLOAD_NO_EXTRACT <bool>
Allows the extraction part of the download
step to be disabled by passing a boolean
true value for this option. If this option
is not given, the downloaded contents will
be unpacked automatically if required. If
extraction has been disabled, the full path
to the downloaded file is available as
<DOWNLOADED_FILE> in subsequent steps or as
the property DOWNLOADED_FILE with the
ExternalProject_Get_Property() command.
DOWNLOAD_NO_PROGRESS <bool>
Can be used to disable logging the download
progress. If this option is not given,
download progress messages will be logged.
TIMEOUT <seconds>
Maximum time allowed for file download
operations.
HTTP_USERNAME <username>
Username for the download operation if
authentication is required.
HTTP_PASSWORD <password>
Password for the download operation if
authentication is required.
HTTP_HEADER <header1> [<header2>...]
Provides an arbitrary list of HTTP headers
for the download operation. This can be
useful for accessing content in systems
like AWS, etc.
TLS_VERIFY <bool>
Specifies whether certificate verification
should be performed for https URLs. If this
option is not provided, the default behav-
ior is determined by the CMAKE_TLS_VERIFY
variable (see file(DOWNLOAD)). If that is
also not set, certificate verification will
not be performed. In situations where
URL_HASH cannot be provided, this option
can be an alternative verification measure.
TLS_CAINFO <file>
Specify a custom certificate authority file
to use if TLS_VERIFY is enabled. If this
option is not specified, the value of the
CMAKE_TLS_CAINFO variable will be used
instead (see file(DOWNLOAD))
NETRC <level>
Specify whether the .netrc file is to be
used for operation. If this option is not
specified, the value of the CMAKE_NETRC
variable will be used instead (see
file(DOWNLOAD)) Valid levels are:
IGNORED
The .netrc file is ignored. This is
the default.
OPTIONAL
The .netrc file is optional, and
information in the URL is preferred.
The file will be scanned to find
which ever information is not speci-
fied in the URL.
REQUIRED
The .netrc file is required, and
information in the URL is ignored.
NETRC_FILE <file>
Specify an alternative .netrc file to the
one in your home directory if the NETRC
level is OPTIONAL or REQUIRED. If this
option is not specified, the value of the
CMAKE_NETRC_FILE variable will be used
instead (see file(DOWNLOAD))
Git NOTE: A git version of 1.6.5 or later is required
if this download method is used.
GIT_REPOSITORY <url>
URL of the git repository. Any URL under-
stood by the git command may be used.
GIT_TAG <tag>
Git branch name, tag or commit hash. Note
that branch names and tags should generally
be specified as remote names (i.e. ori-
gin/myBranch rather than simply myBranch).
This ensures that if the remote end has its
tag moved or branch rebased or history
rewritten, the local clone will still be
updated correctly. In general, however,
specifying a commit hash should be pre-
ferred for a number of reasons:
o If the local clone already has the commit
corresponding to the hash, no git fetch
needs to be performed to check for
changes each time CMake is re-run. This
can result in a significant speed up if
many external projects are being used.
o Using a specific git hash ensures that
the main projectas own history is fully
traceable to a specific point in the
external projectas evolution. If a branch
or tag name is used instead, then check-
ing out a specific commit of the main
project doesnat necessarily pin the whole
build to a specific point in the life of
the external project. The lack of such
deterministic behavior makes the main
project lose traceability and repeatabil-
ity.
If GIT_SHALLOW is enabled then GIT_TAG
works only with branch names and tags. A
commit hash is not allowed.
GIT_REMOTE_NAME <name>
The optional name of the remote. If this
option is not specified, it defaults to
origin.
GIT_SUBMODULES <module>...
Specific git submodules that should also be
updated. If this option is not provided,
all git submodules will be updated. When
CMP0097 is set to NEW if this value is set
to an empty string then no submodules are
initialized or updated.
GIT_SUBMODULES_RECURSE <bool>
Specify whether git submodules (if any)
should update recursively by passing the
--recursive flag to git submodule update.
If not specified, the default is on.
GIT_SHALLOW <bool>
When this option is enabled, the git clone
operation will be given the --depth 1
option. This performs a shallow clone,
which avoids downloading the whole history
and instead retrieves just the commit
denoted by the GIT_TAG option.
GIT_PROGRESS <bool>
When enabled, this option instructs the git
clone operation to report its progress by
passing it the --progress option. Without
this option, the clone step for large
projects may appear to make the build
stall, since nothing will be logged until
the clone operation finishes. While this
option can be used to provide progress to
prevent the appearance of the build having
stalled, it may also make the build overly
noisy if lots of external projects are
used.
GIT_CONFIG <option1> [<option2>...]
Specify a list of config options to pass to
git clone. Each option listed will be
transformed into its own --config <option>
on the git clone command line, with each
option required to be in the form
key=value.
Subversion
SVN_REPOSITORY <url>
URL of the Subversion repository.
SVN_REVISION -r<rev>
Revision to checkout from the Subversion
repository.
SVN_USERNAME <username>
Username for the Subversion checkout and
update.
SVN_PASSWORD <password>
Password for the Subversion checkout and
update.
SVN_TRUST_CERT <bool>
Specifies whether to trust the Subversion
server site certificate. If enabled, the
--trust-server-cert option is passed to the
svn checkout and update commands.
Mercurial
HG_REPOSITORY <url>
URL of the mercurial repository.
HG_TAG <tag>
Mercurial branch name, tag or commit id.
CVS
CVS_REPOSITORY <cvsroot>
CVSROOT of the CVS repository.
CVS_MODULE <mod>
Module to checkout from the CVS repository.
CVS_TAG <tag>
Tag to checkout from the CVS repository.
Update/Patch Step Options:
Whenever CMake is re-run, by default the external
projectas sources will be updated if the download method
supports updates (e.g. a git repository would be checked
if the GIT_TAG does not refer to a specific commit).
UPDATE_COMMAND <cmd>...
Overrides the download methodas update step with a
custom command. The command may use generator
expressions.
UPDATE_DISCONNECTED <bool>
When enabled, this option causes the update step
to be skipped. It does not, however, prevent the
download step. The update step can still be added
as a step target (see
ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets()) and called man-
ually. This is useful if you want to allow devel-
opers to build the project when disconnected from
the network (the network may still be needed for
the download step though).
When this option is present, it is generally
advisable to make the value a cache variable under
the developeras control rather than hard-coding
it. If this option is not present, the default
value is taken from the EP_UPDATE_DISCONNECTED
directory property. If that is also not defined,
updates are performed as normal. The
EP_UPDATE_DISCONNECTED directory property is
intended as a convenience for controlling the
UPDATE_DISCONNECTED behavior for an entire section
of a projectas directory hierarchy and may be a
more convenient method of giving developers con-
trol over whether or not to perform updates
(assuming the project also provides a cache vari-
able or some other convenient method for setting
the directory property).
PATCH_COMMAND <cmd>...
Specifies a custom command to patch the sources
after an update. By default, no patch command is
defined. Note that it can be quite difficult to
define an appropriate patch command that performs
robustly, especially for download methods such as
git where changing the GIT_TAG will not discard
changes from a previous patch, but the patch com-
mand will be called again after updating to the
new tag.
Configure Step Options:
The configure step is run after the download and update
steps. By default, the external project is assumed to be
a CMake project, but this can be overridden if required.
CONFIGURE_COMMAND <cmd>...
The default configure command runs CMake with
options based on the main project. For non-CMake
external projects, the CONFIGURE_COMMAND option
must be used to override this behavior (generator
expressions are supported). For projects that
require no configure step, specify this option
with an empty string as the command to execute.
CMAKE_COMMAND /.../cmake
Specify an alternative cmake executable for the
configure step (use an absolute path). This is
generally not recommended, since it is usually
desirable to use the same CMake version throughout
the whole build. This option is ignored if a cus-
tom configure command has been specified with CON-
FIGURE_COMMAND.
CMAKE_GENERATOR <gen>
Override the CMake generator used for the config-
ure step. Without this option, the same generator
as the main build will be used. This option is
ignored if a custom configure command has been
specified with the CONFIGURE_COMMAND option.
CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM <platform>
Pass a generator-specific platform name to the
CMake command (see CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM). It
is an error to provide this option without the
CMAKE_GENERATOR option.
CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET <toolset>
Pass a generator-specific toolset name to the
CMake command (see CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET). It is
an error to provide this option without the
CMAKE_GENERATOR option.
CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE <instance>
Pass a generator-specific instance selection to
the CMake command (see CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE).
It is an error to provide this option without the
CMAKE_GENERATOR option.
CMAKE_ARGS <arg>...
The specified arguments are passed to the cmake
command line. They can be any argument the cmake
command understands, not just cache values defined
by -D... arguments (see also CMake Options). In
addition, arguments may use generator expressions.
CMAKE_CACHE_ARGS <arg>...
This is an alternate way of specifying cache vari-
ables where command line length issues may become
a problem. The arguments are expected to be in the
form -Dvar:STRING=value, which are then trans-
formed into CMake set() commands with the FORCE
option used. These set() commands are written to a
pre-load script which is then applied using the
cmake -C command line option. Arguments may use
generator expressions.
CMAKE_CACHE_DEFAULT_ARGS <arg>...
This is the same as the CMAKE_CACHE_ARGS option
except the set() commands do not include the FORCE
keyword. This means the values act as initial
defaults only and will not override any variables
already set from a previous run. Use this option
with care, as it can lead to different behavior
depending on whether the build starts from a fresh
build directory or re-uses previous build con-
tents.
If the CMake generator is the Green Hills MULTI
and not overridden then the original projectas
settings for the GHS toolset and target system
customization cache variables are propagated into
the external project.
SOURCE_SUBDIR <dir>
When no CONFIGURE_COMMAND option is specified, the
configure step assumes the external project has a
CMakeLists.txt file at the top of its source tree
(i.e. in SOURCE_DIR). The SOURCE_SUBDIR option can
be used to point to an alternative directory
within the source tree to use as the top of the
CMake source tree instead. This must be a relative
path and it will be interpreted as being relative
to SOURCE_DIR. When BUILD_IN_SOURCE 1 is speci-
fied, the BUILD_COMMAND is used to point to an
alternative directory within the source tree.
Build Step Options:
If the configure step assumed the external project uses
CMake as its build system, the build step will also. Oth-
erwise, the build step will assume a Makefile-based build
and simply run make with no arguments as the default
build step. This can be overridden with custom build com-
mands if required.
BUILD_COMMAND <cmd>...
Overrides the default build command (generator
expressions are supported). If this option is not
given, the default build command will be chosen to
integrate with the main build in the most appro-
priate way (e.g. using recursive make for Makefile
generators or cmake --build if the project uses a
CMake build). This option can be specified with an
empty string as the command to make the build step
do nothing.
BUILD_IN_SOURCE <bool>
When this option is enabled, the build will be
done directly within the external projectas source
tree. This should generally be avoided, the use of
a separate build directory is usually preferred,
but it can be useful when the external project
assumes an in-source build. The BINARY_DIR option
should not be specified if building in-source.
BUILD_ALWAYS <bool>
Enabling this option forces the build step to
always be run. This can be the easiest way to
robustly ensure that the external projectas own
build dependencies are evaluated rather than rely-
ing on the default success timestamp-based method.
This option is not normally needed unless develop-
ers are expected to modify something the external
projectas build depends on in a way that is not
detectable via the step target dependencies (e.g.
SOURCE_DIR is used without a download method and
developers might modify the sources in
SOURCE_DIR).
BUILD_BYPRODUCTS <file>...
Specifies files that will be generated by the
build command but which might or might not have
their modification time updated by subsequent
builds. These ultimately get passed through as
BYPRODUCTS to the build stepas own underlying call
to add_custom_command().
Install Step Options:
If the configure step assumed the external project uses
CMake as its build system, the install step will also.
Otherwise, the install step will assume a Makefile-based
build and simply run make install as the default build
step. This can be overridden with custom install commands
if required.
INSTALL_COMMAND <cmd>...
The external projectas own install step is invoked
as part of the main projectas build. It is done
after the external projectas build step and may be
before or after the external projectas test step
(see the TEST_BEFORE_INSTALL option below). The
external projectas install rules are not part of
the main projectas install rules, so if anything
from the external project should be installed as
part of the main build, these need to be specified
in the main build as additional install() com-
mands. The default install step builds the install
target of the external project, but this can be
overridden with a custom command using this option
(generator expressions are supported). Passing an
empty string as the <cmd> makes the install step
do nothing.
Test Step Options:
The test step is only defined if at least one of the fol-
lowing TEST_... options are provided.
TEST_COMMAND <cmd>...
Overrides the default test command (generator
expressions are supported). If this option is not
given, the default behavior of the test step is to
build the external projectas own test target. This
option can be specified with <cmd> as an empty
string, which allows the test step to still be
defined, but it will do nothing. Do not specify
any of the other TEST_... options if providing an
empty string as the test command, but prefer to
omit all TEST_... options altogether if the test
step target is not needed.
TEST_BEFORE_INSTALL <bool>
When this option is enabled, the test step will be
executed before the install step. The default
behavior is for the test step to run after the
install step.
TEST_AFTER_INSTALL <bool>
This option is mainly useful as a way to indicate
that the test step is desired but all default
behavior is sufficient. Specifying this option
with a boolean true value ensures the test step is
defined and that it comes after the install step.
If both TEST_BEFORE_INSTALL and TEST_AFTER_INSTALL
are enabled, the latter is silently ignored.
TEST_EXCLUDE_FROM_MAIN <bool>
If enabled, the main buildas default ALL target
will not depend on the test step. This can be a
useful way of ensuring the test step is defined
but only gets invoked when manually requested.
Output Logging Options:
Each of the following LOG_... options can be used to wrap
the relevant step in a script to capture its output to
files. The log files will be created in LOG_DIR if sup-
plied or otherwise the STAMP_DIR directory with step-spe-
cific file names.
LOG_DOWNLOAD <bool>
When enabled, the output of the download step is
logged to files.
LOG_UPDATE <bool>
When enabled, the output of the update step is
logged to files.
LOG_PATCH <bool>
When enabled, the output of the patch step is
logged to files.
LOG_CONFIGURE <bool>
When enabled, the output of the configure step is
logged to files.
LOG_BUILD <bool>
When enabled, the output of the build step is
logged to files.
LOG_INSTALL <bool>
When enabled, the output of the install step is
logged to files.
LOG_TEST <bool>
When enabled, the output of the test step is
logged to files.
LOG_MERGED_STDOUTERR <bool>
When enabled, stdout and stderr will be merged for
any step whose output is being logged to files.
LOG_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE <bool>
This option only has an effect if at least one of
the other LOG_<step> options is enabled. If an
error occurs for a step which has logging to file
enabled, that stepas output will be printed to the
console if LOG_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE is set to true.
For cases where a large amount of output is
recorded, just the end of that output may be
printed to the console.
Terminal Access Options:
Steps can be given direct access to the terminal in some
cases. Giving a step access to the terminal may allow it
to receive terminal input if required, such as for
authentication details not provided by other options.
With the Ninja generator, these options place the steps
in the console job pool. Each step can be given access to
the terminal individually via the following options:
USES_TERMINAL_DOWNLOAD <bool>
Give the download step access to the terminal.
USES_TERMINAL_UPDATE <bool>
Give the update step access to the terminal.
USES_TERMINAL_CONFIGURE <bool>
Give the configure step access to the terminal.
USES_TERMINAL_BUILD <bool>
Give the build step access to the terminal.
USES_TERMINAL_INSTALL <bool>
Give the install step access to the terminal.
USES_TERMINAL_TEST <bool>
Give the test step access to the terminal.
Target Options:
DEPENDS <targets>...
Specify other targets on which the external
project depends. The other targets will be brought
up to date before any of the external projectas
steps are executed. Because the external project
uses additional custom targets internally for each
step, the DEPENDS option is the most convenient
way to ensure all of those steps depend on the
other targets. Simply doing add_dependen-
cies(<name> <targets>) will not make any of the
steps dependent on <targets>.
EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL <bool>
When enabled, this option excludes the external
project from the default ALL target of the main
build.
STEP_TARGETS <step-target>...
Generate custom targets for the specified steps.
This is required if the steps need to be triggered
manually or if they need to be used as dependen-
cies of other targets. If this option is not spec-
ified, the default value is taken from the
EP_STEP_TARGETS directory property. See
ExternalProject_Add_Step() below for further dis-
cussion of the effects of this option.
INDEPENDENT_STEP_TARGETS <step-target>...
Generate custom targets for the specified steps
and prevent these targets from having the usual
dependencies applied to them. If this option is
not specified, the default value is taken from the
EP_INDEPENDENT_STEP_TARGETS directory property.
This option is mostly useful for allowing individ-
ual steps to be driven independently, such as for
a CDash setup where each step should be initiated
and reported individually rather than as one whole
build. See ExternalProject_Add_Step() below for
further discussion of the effects of this option.
Miscellaneous Options:
LIST_SEPARATOR <sep>
For any of the various ..._COMMAND options,
replace ; with <sep> in the specified command
lines. This can be useful where list variables may
be given in commands where they should end up as
space-separated arguments (<sep> would be a single
space character string in this case).
COMMAND <cmd>...
Any of the other ..._COMMAND options can have
additional commands appended to them by following
them with as many COMMAND ... options as needed
(generator expressions are supported). For exam-
ple:
ExternalProject_Add(example
... # Download options, etc.
BUILD_COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E echo "Starting $<CONFIG> build"
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} --build <BINARY_DIR> --config $<CONFIG>
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E echo "$<CONFIG> build complete"
)
It should also be noted that each build step is created via a
call to ExternalProject_Add_Step(). See that commandas documen-
tation for the automatic substitutions that are supported for
some options.
Obtaining Project Properties
ExternalProject_Get_Property
The ExternalProject_Get_Property() function retrieves external
project target properties:
ExternalProject_Get_Property(<name> <prop1> [<prop2>...])
The function stores property values in variables of the same
name. Property names correspond to the keyword argument names of
ExternalProject_Add(). For example, the source directory might
be retrieved like so:
ExternalProject_Get_property(myExtProj SOURCE_DIR)
message("Source dir of myExtProj = ${SOURCE_DIR}")
Explicit Step Management
The ExternalProject_Add() function on its own is often sufficient for
incorporating an external project into the main build. Certain scenar-
ios require additional work to implement desired behavior, such as
adding in a custom step or making steps available as manually trigger-
able targets. The ExternalProject_Add_Step(), ExternalProject_Add_Step-
Targets() and ExternalProject_Add_StepDependencies functions provide
the lower level control needed to implement such step-level capabili-
ties.
ExternalProject_Add_Step
The ExternalProject_Add_Step() function specifies an additional
custom step for an external project defined by an earlier call
to ExternalProject_Add():
ExternalProject_Add_Step(<name> <step> [<option>...])
<name> is the same as the name passed to the original call to
ExternalProject_Add(). The specified <step> must not be one of
the pre-defined steps (mkdir, download, update, skip-update,
patch, configure, build, install or test). The supported options
are:
COMMAND <cmd>...
The command line to be executed by this custom step (gen-
erator expressions are supported). This option can be
repeated multiple times to specify multiple commands to
be executed in order.
COMMENT <text>...
Text to be printed when the custom step executes.
DEPENDEES <step>...
Other steps (custom or pre-defined) on which this step
depends.
DEPENDERS <step>...
Other steps (custom or pre-defined) that depend on this
new custom step.
DEPENDS <file>...
Files on which this custom step depends.
BYPRODUCTS <file>...
Files that will be generated by this custom step but
which might or might not have their modification time
updated by subsequent builds. This list of files will
ultimately be passed through as the BYPRODUCTS option to
the add_custom_command() used to implement the custom
step internally.
ALWAYS <bool>
When enabled, this option specifies that the custom step
should always be run (i.e. that it is always considered
out of date).
EXCLUDE_FROM_MAIN <bool>
When enabled, this option specifies that the external
projectas main target does not depend on the custom step.
WORKING_DIRECTORY <dir>
Specifies the working directory to set before running the
custom stepas command. If this option is not specified,
the directory will be the value of the CMAKE_CUR-
RENT_BINARY_DIR at the point where ExternalPro-
ject_Add_Step() was called.
LOG <bool>
If set, this causes the output from the custom step to be
captured to files in the external projectas LOG_DIR if
supplied or STAMP_DIR.
USES_TERMINAL <bool>
If enabled, this gives the custom step direct access to
the terminal if possible.
The command line, comment, working directory and byproducts of
every standard and custom step are processed to replace the
tokens <SOURCE_DIR>, <SOURCE_SUBDIR>, <BINARY_DIR>,
<INSTALL_DIR> <TMP_DIR>, <DOWNLOAD_DIR> and <DOWNLOADED_FILE>
with their corresponding property values defined in the original
call to ExternalProject_Add().
ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets
The ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets() function generates targets
for the steps listed. The name of each created target will be of
the form <name>-<step>:
ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets(<name> [NO_DEPENDS] <step1> [<step2>...])
Creating a target for a step allows it to be used as a depen-
dency of another target or to be triggered manually. Having tar-
gets for specific steps also allows them to be driven indepen-
dently of each other by specifying targets on build command
lines. For example, you may be submitting to a sub-project based
dashboard where you want to drive the configure portion of the
build, then submit to the dashboard, followed by the build por-
tion, followed by tests. If you invoke a custom target that
depends on a step halfway through the step dependency chain,
then all the previous steps will also run to ensure everything
is up to date.
If the NO_DEPENDS option is specified, the step target will not
depend on the dependencies of the external project (i.e. on any
dependencies of the <name> custom target created by
ExternalProject_Add()). This is usually safe for the download,
update and patch steps, since they do not typically require that
the dependencies are updated and built. Using NO_DEPENDS for any
of the other pre-defined steps, however, may break parallel
builds. Only use NO_DEPENDS where it is certain that the named
steps genuinely do not have dependencies. For custom steps, con-
sider whether or not the custom commands require the dependen-
cies to be configured, built and installed.
Internally, ExternalProject_Add() calls
ExternalProject_Add_Step() to create each step. If any STEP_TAR-
GETS or INDEPENDENT_STEP_TARGETS were specified, then External-
Project_Add_StepTargets() will also be called after
ExternalProject_Add_Step(). INDEPENDENT_STEP_TARGETS have the
NO_DEPENDS option set, whereas STEP_TARGETS do not. Other than
that, the two options result in ExternalProject_Add_StepTar-
gets() being called in the same way. Even if a step is not men-
tioned in either of those two options, ExternalProject_Add_Step-
Targets() can still be called later to manually define a target
for the step.
The STEP_TARGETS and INDEPENDENT_STEP_TARGETS options for
ExternalProject_Add() are generally the easiest way to ensure
targets are created for specific steps of interest. For custom
steps, ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets() must be called explic-
itly if a target should also be created for that custom step. An
alternative to these two options is to populate the EP_STEP_TAR-
GETS and EP_INDEPENDENT_STEP_TARGETS directory properties. These
act as defaults for the step target options and can save having
to repeatedly specify the same set of step targets when multiple
external projects are being defined.
ExternalProject_Add_StepDependencies
The ExternalProject_Add_StepDependencies() function can be used
to add dependencies to a step. The dependencies added must be
targets CMake already knows about (these can be ordinary exe-
cutable or library targets, custom targets or even step targets
of another external project):
ExternalProject_Add_StepDependencies(<name> <step> <target1> [<target2>...])
This function takes care to set both target and file level
dependencies and will ensure that parallel builds will not
break. It should be used instead of add_dependencies() whenever
adding a dependency for some of the step targets generated by
the ExternalProject module.
Examples
The following example shows how to download and build a hypothetical
project called FooBar from github:
include(ExternalProject)
ExternalProject_Add(foobar
GIT_REPOSITORY git@github.com:FooCo/FooBar.git
GIT_TAG origin/release/1.2.3
)
For the sake of the example, also define a second hypothetical external
project called SecretSauce, which is downloaded from a web server. Two
URLs are given to take advantage of a faster internal network if avail-
able, with a fallback to a slower external server. The project is a
typical Makefile project with no configure step, so some of the default
commands are overridden. The build is only required to build the sauce
target:
find_program(MAKE_EXE NAMES gmake nmake make)
ExternalProject_Add(secretsauce
URL http://intranet.somecompany.com/artifacts/sauce-2.7.tgz
https://www.somecompany.com/downloads/sauce-2.7.zip
URL_HASH MD5=d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
CONFIGURE_COMMAND ""
BUILD_COMMAND ${MAKE_EXE} sauce
)
Suppose the build step of secretsauce requires that foobar must already
be built. This could be enforced like so:
ExternalProject_Add_StepDependencies(secretsauce build foobar)
Another alternative would be to create a custom target for foobaras
build step and make secretsauce depend on that rather than the whole
foobar project. This would mean foobar only needs to be built, it
doesnat need to run its install or test steps before secretsauce can be
built. The dependency can also be defined along with the secretsauce
project:
ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets(foobar build)
ExternalProject_Add(secretsauce
URL http://intranet.somecompany.com/artifacts/sauce-2.7.tgz
https://www.somecompany.com/downloads/sauce-2.7.zip
URL_HASH MD5=d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
CONFIGURE_COMMAND ""
BUILD_COMMAND ${MAKE_EXE} sauce
DEPENDS foobar-build
)
Instead of calling ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets(), the target could
be defined along with the foobar project itself:
ExternalProject_Add(foobar
GIT_REPOSITORY git@github.com:FooCo/FooBar.git
GIT_TAG origin/release/1.2.3
STEP_TARGETS build
)
If many external projects should have the same set of step targets,
setting a directory property may be more convenient. The build step
target could be created automatically by setting the EP_STEP_TARGETS
directory property before creating the external projects with
ExternalProject_Add():
set_property(DIRECTORY PROPERTY EP_STEP_TARGETS build)
Lastly, suppose that secretsauce provides a script called makedoc which
can be used to generate its own documentation. Further suppose that the
script expects the output directory to be provided as the only parame-
ter and that it should be run from the secretsauce source directory. A
custom step and a custom target to trigger the script can be defined
like so:
ExternalProject_Add_Step(secretsauce docs
COMMAND <SOURCE_DIR>/makedoc <BINARY_DIR>
WORKING_DIRECTORY <SOURCE_DIR>
COMMENT "Building secretsauce docs"
ALWAYS TRUE
EXCLUDE_FROM_MAIN TRUE
)
ExternalProject_Add_StepTargets(secretsauce docs)
The custom step could then be triggered from the main build like so:
cmake --build . --target secretsauce-docs
FeatureSummary
Functions for generating a summary of enabled/disabled features.
These functions can be used to generate a summary of enabled and dis-
abled packages and/or feature for a build tree such as:
-- The following OPTIONAL packages have been found:
LibXml2 (required version >= 2.4), XML processing lib, <http://xmlsoft.org>
* Enables HTML-import in MyWordProcessor
* Enables odt-export in MyWordProcessor
PNG, A PNG image library., <http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/>
* Enables saving screenshots
-- The following OPTIONAL packages have not been found:
Lua51, The Lua scripting language., <http://www.lua.org>
* Enables macros in MyWordProcessor
Foo, Foo provides cool stuff.
Global Properties
FeatureSummary_PKG_TYPES
The global property FeatureSummary_PKG_TYPES defines the type of pack-
ages used by FeatureSummary.
The order in this list is important, the first package type in the list
is the least important, the last is the most important. the of a pack-
age can only be changed to higher types.
The default package types are , RUNTIME, OPTIONAL, RECOMMENDED and
REQUIRED, and their importance is RUNTIME < OPTIONAL < RECOMMENDED <
REQUIRED.
FeatureSummary_REQUIRED_PKG_TYPES
The global property FeatureSummary_REQUIRED_PKG_TYPES defines which
package types are required.
If one or more package in this categories has not been found, CMake
will abort when calling feature_summary() with the aFATAL_ON_MISS-
ING_REQUIRED_PACKAGESa option enabled.
The default value for this global property is REQUIRED.
FeatureSummary_DEFAULT_PKG_TYPE
The global property FeatureSummary_DEFAULT_PKG_TYPE defines which pack-
age type is the default one. When calling feature_summary(), if the
user did not set the package type explicitly, the package will be
assigned to this category.
This value must be one of the types defined in the
FeatureSummary_PKG_TYPES global property unless the package type is set
for all the packages.
The default value for this global property is OPTIONAL.
FeatureSummary_<TYPE>_DESCRIPTION
The global property FeatureSummary_<TYPE>_DESCRIPTION can be defined
for each type to replace the type name with the specified string when-
ever the package type is used in an output string.
If not set, the string a<TYPE> packagesa is used.
Functions
feature_summary
feature_summary( [FILENAME <file>]
[APPEND]
[VAR <variable_name>]
[INCLUDE_QUIET_PACKAGES]
[FATAL_ON_MISSING_REQUIRED_PACKAGES]
[DESCRIPTION "<description>" | DEFAULT_DESCRIPTION]
[QUIET_ON_EMPTY]
WHAT (ALL
| PACKAGES_FOUND | PACKAGES_NOT_FOUND
| <TYPE>_PACKAGES_FOUND | <TYPE>_PACKAGES_NOT_FOUND
| ENABLED_FEATURES | DISABLED_FEATURES)
)
The feature_summary() macro can be used to print information
about enabled or disabled packages or features of a project. By
default, only the names of the features/packages will be printed
and their required version when one was specified. Use
set_package_properties() to add more useful information, like
e.g. a download URL for the respective package or their purpose
in the project.
The WHAT option is the only mandatory option. Here you specify
what information will be printed:
ALL print everything
ENABLED_FEATURES
the list of all features which are enabled
DISABLED_FEATURES
the list of all features which are disabled
PACKAGES_FOUND
the list of all packages which have been found
PACKAGES_NOT_FOUND
the list of all packages which have not been found
For each package type <TYPE> defined by the
FeatureSummary_PKG_TYPES global property, the following informa-
tion can also be used:
<TYPE>_PACKAGES_FOUND
only those packages which have been found which have the
type <TYPE>
<TYPE>_PACKAGES_NOT_FOUND
only those packages which have not been found which have
the type <TYPE>
With the exception of the ALL value, these values can be com-
bined in order to customize the output. For example:
feature_summary(WHAT ENABLED_FEATURES DISABLED_FEATURES)
If a FILENAME is given, the information is printed into this
file. If APPEND is used, it is appended to this file, otherwise
the file is overwritten if it already existed. If the VAR
option is used, the information is aprinteda into the specified
variable. If FILENAME is not used, the information is printed
to the terminal. Using the DESCRIPTION option a description or
headline can be set which will be printed above the actual con-
tent. If only one type of package was requested, no title is
printed, unless it is explicitly set using either DESCRIPTION to
use a custom string, or DEFAULT_DESCRIPTION to use a default
title for the requested type. If INCLUDE_QUIET_PACKAGES is
given, packages which have been searched with find_package(...
QUIET) will also be listed. By default they are skipped. If
FATAL_ON_MISSING_REQUIRED_PACKAGES is given, CMake will abort if
a package which is marked as one of the package types listed in
the FeatureSummary_REQUIRED_PKG_TYPES global property has not
been found. The default value for the
FeatureSummary_REQUIRED_PKG_TYPES global property is REQUIRED.
The FeatureSummary_DEFAULT_PKG_TYPE global property can be modi-
fied to change the default package type assigned when not
explicitly assigned by the user.
If the QUIET_ON_EMPTY option is used, if only one type of pack-
age was requested, and no packages belonging to that category
were found, then no output (including the DESCRIPTION) is
printed or added to the VAR variable.
Example 1, append everything to a file:
include(FeatureSummary)
feature_summary(WHAT ALL
FILENAME ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/all.log APPEND)
Example 2, print the enabled features into the variable enabled-
FeaturesText, including QUIET packages:
include(FeatureSummary)
feature_summary(WHAT ENABLED_FEATURES
INCLUDE_QUIET_PACKAGES
DESCRIPTION "Enabled Features:"
VAR enabledFeaturesText)
message(STATUS "${enabledFeaturesText}")
Example 3, change default package types and print only the cate-
gories that are not empty:
include(FeatureSummary)
set_property(GLOBAL APPEND PROPERTY FeatureSummary_PKG_TYPES BUILD)
find_package(FOO)
set_package_properties(FOO PROPERTIES TYPE BUILD)
feature_summary(WHAT BUILD_PACKAGES_FOUND
Description "Build tools found:"
QUIET_ON_EMPTY)
feature_summary(WHAT BUILD_PACKAGES_NOT_FOUND
Description "Build tools not found:"
QUIET_ON_EMPTY)
set_package_properties
set_package_properties(<name> PROPERTIES
[ URL <url> ]
[ DESCRIPTION <description> ]
[ TYPE (RUNTIME|OPTIONAL|RECOMMENDED|REQUIRED) ]
[ PURPOSE <purpose> ]
)
Use this macro to set up information about the named package,
which can then be displayed via FEATURE_SUMMARY(). This can be
done either directly in the Find-module or in the project which
uses the module after the find_package() call. The features for
which information can be set are added automatically by the
find_package() command.
URL <url>
This should be the homepage of the package, or something
similar. Ideally this is set already directly in the
Find-module.
DESCRIPTION <description>
A short description what that package is, at most one
sentence. Ideally this is set already directly in the
Find-module.
TYPE <type>
What type of dependency has the using project on that
package. Default is OPTIONAL. In this case it is a
package which can be used by the project when available
at buildtime, but it also work without. RECOMMENDED is
similar to OPTIONAL, i.e. the project will build if the
package is not present, but the functionality of the
resulting binaries will be severely limited. If a
REQUIRED package is not available at buildtime, the
project may not even build. This can be combined with
the FATAL_ON_MISSING_REQUIRED_PACKAGES argument for fea-
ture_summary(). Last, a RUNTIME package is a package
which is actually not used at all during the build, but
which is required for actually running the resulting
binaries. So if such a package is missing, the project
can still be built, but it may not work later on. If
set_package_properties() is called multiple times for the
same package with different TYPEs, the TYPE is only
changed to higher TYPEs (RUNTIME < OPTIONAL < RECOMMENDED
< REQUIRED), lower TYPEs are ignored. The TYPE property
is project-specific, so it cannot be set by the Find-mod-
ule, but must be set in the project. Type accepted can
be changed by setting the FeatureSummary_PKG_TYPES global
property.
PURPOSE <purpose>
This describes which features this package enables in the
project, i.e. it tells the user what functionality he
gets in the resulting binaries. If set_package_proper-
ties() is called multiple times for a package, all PUR-
POSE properties are appended to a list of purposes of the
package in the project. As the TYPE property, also the
PURPOSE property is project-specific, so it cannot be set
by the Find-module, but must be set in the project.
Example for setting the info for a package:
find_package(LibXml2)
set_package_properties(LibXml2 PROPERTIES
DESCRIPTION "A XML processing library."
URL "http://xmlsoft.org/")
# or
set_package_properties(LibXml2 PROPERTIES
TYPE RECOMMENDED
PURPOSE "Enables HTML-import in MyWordProcessor")
# or
set_package_properties(LibXml2 PROPERTIES
TYPE OPTIONAL
PURPOSE "Enables odt-export in MyWordProcessor")
find_package(DBUS)
set_package_properties(DBUS PROPERTIES
TYPE RUNTIME
PURPOSE "Necessary to disable the screensaver during a presentation")
add_feature_info
add_feature_info(<name> <enabled> <description>)
Use this macro to add information about a feature with the given
<name>. <enabled> contains whether this feature is enabled or
not. It can be a variable or a list of conditions. <descrip-
tion> is a text describing the feature. The information can be
displayed using feature_summary() for ENABLED_FEATURES and DIS-
ABLED_FEATURES respectively.
Example for setting the info for a feature:
option(WITH_FOO "Help for foo" ON)
add_feature_info(Foo WITH_FOO "The Foo feature provides very cool stuff.")
Legacy Macros
The following macros are provided for compatibility with previous CMake
versions:
set_package_info
set_package_info(<name> <description> [ <url> [<purpose>] ])
Use this macro to set up information about the named package,
which can then be displayed via feature_summary(). This can be
done either directly in the Find-module or in the project which
uses the module after the find_package() call. The features for
which information can be set are added automatically by the
find_package() command.
set_feature_info
set_feature_info(<name> <description> [<url>])
Does the same as:
set_package_info(<name> <description> <url>)
print_enabled_features
print_enabled_features()
Does the same as
feature_summary(WHAT ENABLED_FEATURES DESCRIPTION "Enabled features:")
print_disabled_features
print_disabled_features()
Does the same as
feature_summary(WHAT DISABLED_FEATURES DESCRIPTION "Disabled features:")
FetchContent
Overview
This module enables populating content at configure time via any method
supported by the ExternalProject module. Whereas ExternalProject_Add()
downloads at build time, the FetchContent module makes content avail-
able immediately, allowing the configure step to use the content in
commands like add_subdirectory(), include() or file() operations.
Content population details would normally be defined separately from
the command that performs the actual population. This separation
ensures that all of the dependency details are defined before anything
may try to use those details to populate content. This is particularly
important in more complex project hierarchies where dependencies may be
shared between multiple projects.
The following shows a typical example of declaring content details:
FetchContent_Declare(
googletest
GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/google/googletest.git
GIT_TAG release-1.8.0
)
For most typical cases, populating the content can then be done with a
single command like so:
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(googletest)
The above command not only populates the content, it also adds it to
the main build (if possible) so that the main build can use the popu-
lated projectas targets, etc. In some cases, the main project may need
to have more precise control over the population or may be required to
explicitly define the population steps (e.g. if CMake versions earlier
than 3.14 need to be supported). The typical pattern of such custom
steps looks like this:
FetchContent_GetProperties(googletest)
if(NOT googletest_POPULATED)
FetchContent_Populate(googletest)
add_subdirectory(${googletest_SOURCE_DIR} ${googletest_BINARY_DIR})
endif()
Regardless of which population method is used, when using the
declare-populate pattern with a hierarchical project arrangement,
projects at higher levels in the hierarchy are able to override the
population details of content specified anywhere lower in the project
hierarchy. The ability to detect whether content has already been pop-
ulated ensures that even if multiple child projects want certain con-
tent to be available, the first one to populate it wins. The other
child project can simply make use of the already available content
instead of repeating the population for itself. See the Examples sec-
tion which demonstrates this scenario.
The FetchContent module also supports defining and populating content
in a single call, with no check for whether the content has been popu-
lated elsewhere in the project already. This is a more low level oper-
ation and would not normally be the way the module is used, but it is
sometimes useful as part of implementing some higher level feature or
to populate some content in CMakeas script mode.
Declaring Content Details
FetchContent_Declare
FetchContent_Declare(<name> <contentOptions>...)
The FetchContent_Declare() function records the options that
describe how to populate the specified content, but if such
details have already been recorded earlier in this project
(regardless of where in the project hierarchy), this and all
later calls for the same content <name> are ignored. This
afirst to record, winsa approach is what allows hierarchical
projects to have parent projects override content details of
child projects.
The content <name> can be any string without spaces, but good
practice would be to use only letters, numbers and underscores.
The name will be treated case-insensitively and it should be
obvious for the content it represents, often being the name of
the child project or the value given to its top level project()
command (if it is a CMake project). For well-known public
projects, the name should generally be the official name of the
project. Choosing an unusual name makes it unlikely that other
projects needing that same content will use the same name, lead-
ing to the content being populated multiple times.
The <contentOptions> can be any of the download or update/patch
options that the ExternalProject_Add() command understands. The
configure, build, install and test steps are explicitly disabled
and therefore options related to them will be ignored. In most
cases, <contentOptions> will just be a couple of options defin-
ing the download method and method-specific details like a com-
mit tag or archive hash. For example:
FetchContent_Declare(
googletest
GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/google/googletest.git
GIT_TAG release-1.8.0
)
FetchContent_Declare(
myCompanyIcons
URL https://intranet.mycompany.com/assets/iconset_1.12.tar.gz
URL_HASH 5588a7b18261c20068beabfb4f530b87
)
FetchContent_Declare(
myCompanyCertificates
SVN_REPOSITORY svn+ssh://svn.mycompany.com/srv/svn/trunk/certs
SVN_REVISION -r12345
)
Populating The Content
For most common scenarios, population means making content available to
the main build according to previously declared details for that depen-
dency. There are two main patterns for populating content, one based
on calling FetchContent_GetProperties() and FetchContent_Populate() for
more precise control and the other on calling
FetchContent_MakeAvailable() for a simpler, more automated approach.
The former generally follows this canonical pattern:
# Check if population has already been performed
FetchContent_GetProperties(<name>)
string(TOLOWER "<name>" lcName)
if(NOT ${lcName}_POPULATED)
# Fetch the content using previously declared details
FetchContent_Populate(<name>)
# Set custom variables, policies, etc.
# ...
# Bring the populated content into the build
add_subdirectory(${${lcName}_SOURCE_DIR} ${${lcName}_BINARY_DIR})
endif()
The above is such a common pattern that, where no custom steps are
needed between the calls to FetchContent_Populate() and add_subdirec-
tory(), equivalent logic can be obtained by calling
FetchContent_MakeAvailable() instead (and should be preferred where it
meets the needs of the project).
FetchContent_Populate
FetchContent_Populate( <name> )
In most cases, the only argument given to FetchContent_Popu-
late() is the <name>. When used this way, the command assumes
the content details have been recorded by an earlier call to
FetchContent_Declare(). The details are stored in a global
property, so they are unaffected by things like variable or
directory scope. Therefore, it doesnat matter where in the
project the details were previously declared, as long as they
have been declared before the call to FetchContent_Populate().
Those saved details are then used to construct a call to Exter-
nalProject_Add() in a private sub-build to perform the content
population immediately. The implementation of ExternalPro-
ject_Add() ensures that if the content has already been popu-
lated in a previous CMake run, that content will be reused
rather than repopulating them again. For the common case where
population involves downloading content, the cost of the down-
load is only paid once.
An internal global property records when a particular content
population request has been processed. If FetchContent_Popu-
late() is called more than once for the same content name within
a configure run, the second call will halt with an error.
Projects can and should check whether content population has
already been processed with the FetchContent_GetProperties()
command before calling FetchContent_Populate().
FetchContent_Populate() will set three variables in the scope of
the caller; <lcName>_POPULATED, <lcName>_SOURCE_DIR and
<lcName>_BINARY_DIR, where <lcName> is the lowercased <name>.
<lcName>_POPULATED will always be set to True by the call.
<lcName>_SOURCE_DIR is the location where the content can be
found upon return (it will have already been populated), while
<lcName>_BINARY_DIR is a directory intended for use as a corre-
sponding build directory. The main use case for the two direc-
tory variables is to call add_subdirectory() immediately after
population, i.e.:
FetchContent_Populate(FooBar ...)
add_subdirectory(${foobar_SOURCE_DIR} ${foobar_BINARY_DIR})
The values of the three variables can also be retrieved from
anywhere in the project hierarchy using the
FetchContent_GetProperties() command.
A number of cache variables influence the behavior of all con-
tent population performed using details saved from a
FetchContent_Declare() call:
FETCHCONTENT_BASE_DIR
In most cases, the saved details do not specify any
options relating to the directories to use for the inter-
nal sub-build, final source and build areas. It is gen-
erally best to leave these decisions up to the FetchCon-
tent module to handle on the projectas behalf. The
FETCHCONTENT_BASE_DIR cache variable controls the point
under which all content population directories are col-
lected, but in most cases developers would not need to
change this. The default location is
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/_deps, but if developers change this
value, they should aim to keep the path short and just
below the top level of the build tree to avoid running
into path length problems on Windows.
FETCHCONTENT_QUIET
The logging output during population can be quite ver-
bose, making the configure stage quite noisy. This cache
option (ON by default) hides all population output unless
an error is encountered. If experiencing problems with
hung downloads, temporarily switching this option off may
help diagnose which content population is causing the
issue.
FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED
When this option is enabled, no attempt is made to down-
load or update any content. It is assumed that all con-
tent has already been populated in a previous run or the
source directories have been pointed at existing contents
the developer has provided manually (using options
described further below). When the developer knows that
no changes have been made to any content details, turning
this option ON can significantly speed up the configure
stage. It is OFF by default.
FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED
This is a less severe download/update control compared to
FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED. Instead of bypassing
all download and update logic, the FETCHCON-
TENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED only disables the update stage.
Therefore, if content has not been downloaded previously,
it will still be downloaded when this option is enabled.
This can speed up the configure stage, but not as much as
FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED. It is OFF by default.
In addition to the above cache variables, the following cache
variables are also defined for each content name (<ucName> is
the uppercased value of <name>):
FETCHCONTENT_SOURCE_DIR_<ucName>
If this is set, no download or update steps are performed
for the specified content and the <lcName>_SOURCE_DIR
variable returned to the caller is pointed at this loca-
tion. This gives developers a way to have a separate
checkout of the content that they can modify freely with-
out interference from the build. The build simply uses
that existing source, but it still defines
<lcName>_BINARY_DIR to point inside its own build area.
Developers are strongly encouraged to use this mechanism
rather than editing the sources populated in the default
location, as changes to sources in the default location
can be lost when content population details are changed
by the project.
FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED_<ucName>
This is the per-content equivalent of FETCHCON-
TENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED. If the global option or this
option is ON, then updates will be disabled for the named
content. Disabling updates for individual content can be
useful for content whose details rarely change, while
still leaving other frequently changing content with
updates enabled.
The FetchContent_Populate() command also supports a syntax
allowing the content details to be specified directly rather
than using any saved details. This is more low-level and use of
this form is generally to be avoided in favour of using saved
content details as outlined above. Nevertheless, in certain
situations it can be useful to invoke the content population as
an isolated operation (typically as part of implementing some
other higher level feature or when using CMake in script mode):
FetchContent_Populate( <name>
[QUIET]
[SUBBUILD_DIR <subBuildDir>]
[SOURCE_DIR <srcDir>]
[BINARY_DIR <binDir>]
...
)
This form has a number of key differences to that where only
<name> is provided:
o All required population details are assumed to have been pro-
vided directly in the call to FetchContent_Populate(). Any
saved details for <name> are ignored.
o No check is made for whether content for <name> has already
been populated.
o No global property is set to record that the population has
occurred.
o No global properties record the source or binary directories
used for the populated content.
o The FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED and FETCHCON-
TENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED cache variables are ignored.
The <lcName>_SOURCE_DIR and <lcName>_BINARY_DIR variables are
still returned to the caller, but since these locations are not
stored as global properties when this form is used, they are
only available to the calling scope and below rather than the
entire project hierarchy. No <lcName>_POPULATED variable is set
in the calleras scope with this form.
The supported options for FetchContent_Populate() are the same
as those for FetchContent_Declare(). Those few options shown
just above are either specific to FetchContent_Populate() or
their behavior is slightly modified from how ExternalPro-
ject_Add() treats them.
QUIET The QUIET option can be given to hide the output associ-
ated with populating the specified content. If the popu-
lation fails, the output will be shown regardless of
whether this option was given or not so that the cause of
the failure can be diagnosed. The global FETCHCON-
TENT_QUIET cache variable has no effect on FetchCon-
tent_Populate() calls where the content details are pro-
vided directly.
SUBBUILD_DIR
The SUBBUILD_DIR argument can be provided to change the
location of the sub-build created to perform the popula-
tion. The default value is ${CMAKE_CUR-
RENT_BINARY_DIR}/<lcName>-subbuild and it would be
unusual to need to override this default. If a relative
path is specified, it will be interpreted as relative to
CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR.
SOURCE_DIR, BINARY_DIR
The SOURCE_DIR and BINARY_DIR arguments are supported by
ExternalProject_Add(), but different default values are
used by FetchContent_Populate(). SOURCE_DIR defaults to
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/<lcName>-src and BINARY_DIR
defaults to ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/<lcName>-build.
If a relative path is specified, it will be interpreted
as relative to CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR.
In addition to the above explicit options, any other unrecog-
nized options are passed through unmodified to ExternalPro-
ject_Add() to perform the download, patch and update steps. The
following options are explicitly prohibited (they are disabled
by the FetchContent_Populate() command):
o CONFIGURE_COMMAND
o BUILD_COMMAND
o INSTALL_COMMAND
o TEST_COMMAND
If using FetchContent_Populate() within CMakeas script mode, be
aware that the implementation sets up a sub-build which there-
fore requires a CMake generator and build tool to be available.
If these cannot be found by default, then the CMAKE_GENERATOR
and/or CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM variables will need to be set appro-
priately on the command line invoking the script.
FetchContent_GetProperties
When using saved content details, a call to
FetchContent_Populate() records information in global properties
which can be queried at any time. This information includes the
source and binary directories associated with the content and
also whether or not the content population has been processed
during the current configure run.
FetchContent_GetProperties( <name>
[SOURCE_DIR <srcDirVar>]
[BINARY_DIR <binDirVar>]
[POPULATED <doneVar>]
)
The SOURCE_DIR, BINARY_DIR and POPULATED options can be used to
specify which properties should be retrieved. Each option
accepts a value which is the name of the variable in which to
store that property. Most of the time though, only <name> is
given, in which case the call will then set the same variables
as a call to FetchContent_Populate(name). This allows the fol-
lowing canonical pattern to be used, which ensures that the rel-
evant variables will always be defined regardless of whether or
not the population has been performed elsewhere in the project
already:
FetchContent_GetProperties(foobar)
if(NOT foobar_POPULATED)
FetchContent_Populate(foobar)
...
endif()
The above pattern allows other parts of the overall project
hierarchy to re-use the same content and ensure that it is only
populated once.
FetchContent_MakeAvailable
FetchContent_MakeAvailable( <name1> [<name2>...] )
This command implements the common pattern typically needed for
most dependencies. It iterates over each of the named dependen-
cies in turn and for each one it loosely follows the same
canonical pattern as presented at the beginning of this section.
One small difference to that pattern is that it will only call
add_subdirectory() on the populated content if there is a CMake-
Lists.txt file in its top level source directory. This allows
the command to be used for dependencies that make downloaded
content available at a known location but which do not need or
support being added directly to the build.
Examples
This first fairly straightforward example ensures that some popular
testing frameworks are available to the main build:
include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(
googletest
GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/google/googletest.git
GIT_TAG release-1.8.0
)
FetchContent_Declare(
Catch2
GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2.git
GIT_TAG v2.5.0
)
# After the following call, the CMake targets defined by googletest and
# Catch2 will be defined and available to the rest of the build
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(googletest Catch2)
In more complex project hierarchies, the dependency relationships can
be more complicated. Consider a hierarchy where projA is the top level
project and it depends directly on projects projB and projC. Both
projB and projC can be built standalone and they also both depend on
another project projD. projB additionally depends on projE. This
example assumes that all five projects are available on a company git
server. The CMakeLists.txt of each project might have sections like
the following:
projA:
include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(
projB
GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projB.git
GIT_TAG 4a89dc7e24ff212a7b5167bef7ab079d
)
FetchContent_Declare(
projC
GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projC.git
GIT_TAG 4ad4016bd1d8d5412d135cf8ceea1bb9
)
FetchContent_Declare(
projD
GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projD.git
GIT_TAG origin/integrationBranch
)
FetchContent_Declare(
projE
GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projE.git
GIT_TAG origin/release/2.3-rc1
)
# Order is important, see notes in the discussion further below
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(projD projB projC)
projB:
include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(
projD
GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projD.git
GIT_TAG 20b415f9034bbd2a2e8216e9a5c9e632
)
FetchContent_Declare(
projE
GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projE.git
GIT_TAG 68e20f674a48be38d60e129f600faf7d
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(projD projE)
projC:
include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(
projD
GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projD.git
GIT_TAG 7d9a17ad2c962aa13e2fbb8043fb6b8a
)
# This particular version of projD requires workarounds
FetchContent_GetProperties(projD)
if(NOT projd_POPULATED)
FetchContent_Populate(projD)
# Copy an additional/replacement file into the populated source
file(COPY someFile.c DESTINATION ${projd_SOURCE_DIR}/src)
add_subdirectory(${projd_SOURCE_DIR} ${projd_BINARY_DIR})
endif()
A few key points should be noted in the above:
o projB and projC define different content details for projD, but projA
also defines a set of content details for projD. Because projA will
define them first, the details from projB and projC will not be used.
The override details defined by projA are not required to match
either of those from projB or projC, but it is up to the higher level
project to ensure that the details it does define still make sense
for the child projects.
o In the projA call to FetchContent_MakeAvailable(), projD is listed
ahead of projB and projC to ensure that projA is in control of how
projD is populated.
o While projA defines content details for projE, it does not need to
explicitly call FetchContent_MakeAvailable(projE) or FetchCon-
tent_Populate(projD) itself. Instead, it leaves that to the child
projB. For higher level projects, it is often enough to just define
the override content details and leave the actual population to the
child projects. This saves repeating the same thing at each level of
the project hierarchy unnecessarily.
Projects donat always need to add the populated content to the build.
Sometimes the project just wants to make the downloaded content avail-
able at a predictable location. The next example ensures that a set of
standard company toolchain files (and potentially even the toolchain
binaries themselves) is available early enough to be used for that same
build.
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)
include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(
mycom_toolchains
URL https://intranet.mycompany.com//toolchains_1.3.2.tar.gz
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(mycom_toolchains)
project(CrossCompileExample)
The project could be configured to use one of the downloaded toolchains
like so:
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=_deps/mycom_toolchains-src/toolchain_arm.cmake /path/to/src
When CMake processes the CMakeLists.txt file, it will download and
unpack the tarball into _deps/mycompany_toolchains-src relative to the
build directory. The CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE variable is not used until
the project() command is reached, at which point CMake looks for the
named toolchain file relative to the build directory. Because the tar-
ball has already been downloaded and unpacked by then, the toolchain
file will be in place, even the very first time that cmake is run in
the build directory.
Lastly, the following example demonstrates how one might download and
unpack a firmware tarball using CMakeas script mode. The call to
FetchContent_Populate() specifies all the content details and the
unpacked firmware will be placed in a firmware directory below the cur-
rent working directory.
getFirmware.cmake:
# NOTE: Intended to be run in script mode with cmake -P
include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Populate(
firmware

)
FindPackageHandleStandardArgs
This module provides a function intended to be used in Find Modules
implementing find_package(<PackageName>) calls. It handles the
REQUIRED, QUIET and version-related arguments of find_package. It also
sets the <PackageName>_FOUND variable. The package is considered found
if all variables listed contain valid results, e.g. valid filepaths.
find_package_handle_standard_args
There are two signatures:
find_package_handle_standard_args(<PackageName>
(DEFAULT_MSG|<custom-failure-message>)
<required-var>...
)
find_package_handle_standard_args(<PackageName>
[FOUND_VAR <result-var>]
[REQUIRED_VARS <required-var>...]
[VERSION_VAR <version-var>]
[HANDLE_COMPONENTS]
[CONFIG_MODE]
[NAME_MISMATCHED]
[REASON_FAILURE_MESSAGE <reason-failure-message>]
[FAIL_MESSAGE <custom-failure-message>]
)
The <PackageName>_FOUND variable will be set to TRUE if all the
variables <required-var>... are valid and any optional con-
straints are satisfied, and FALSE otherwise. A success or fail-
ure message may be displayed based on the results and on whether
the REQUIRED and/or QUIET option was given to the find_package()
call.
The options are:
(DEFAULT_MSG|<custom-failure-message>)
In the simple signature this specifies the failure mes-
sage. Use DEFAULT_MSG to ask for a default message to be
computed (recommended). Not valid in the full signature.
FOUND_VAR <result-var>
Obsolete. Specifies either <PackageName>_FOUND or <PACK-
AGENAME>_FOUND as the result variable. This exists only
for compatibility with older versions of CMake and is now
ignored. Result variables of both names are always set
for compatibility.
REQUIRED_VARS <required-var>...
Specify the variables which are required for this pack-
age. These may be named in the generated failure message
asking the user to set the missing variable values.
Therefore these should typically be cache entries such as
FOO_LIBRARY and not output variables like FOO_LIBRARIES.
VERSION_VAR <version-var>
Specify the name of a variable that holds the version of
the package that has been found. This version will be
checked against the (potentially) specified required ver-
sion given to the find_package() call, including its
EXACT option. The default messages include information
about the required version and the version which has been
actually found, both if the version is ok or not.
HANDLE_COMPONENTS
Enable handling of package components. In this case, the
command will report which components have been found and
which are missing, and the <PackageName>_FOUND variable
will be set to FALSE if any of the required components
(i.e. not the ones listed after the OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS
option of find_package()) are missing.
CONFIG_MODE
Specify that the calling find module is a wrapper around
a call to find_package(<PackageName> NO_MODULE). This
implies a VERSION_VAR value of <PackageName>_VERSION.
The command will automatically check whether the package
configuration file was found.
REASON_FAILURE_MESSAGE <reason-failure-message>
Specify a custom message of the reason for the failure
which will be appended to the default generated message.
FAIL_MESSAGE <custom-failure-message>
Specify a custom failure message instead of using the
default generated message. Not recommended.
NAME_MISMATCHED
Indicate that the <PackageName> does not match
${CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NAME}. This is usually a mistake and
raises a warning, but it may be intentional for usage of
the command for components of a larger package.
Example for the simple signature:
find_package_handle_standard_args(LibXml2 DEFAULT_MSG
LIBXML2_LIBRARY LIBXML2_INCLUDE_DIR)
The LibXml2 package is considered to be found if both LIBXML2_LIBRARY
and LIBXML2_INCLUDE_DIR are valid. Then also LibXml2_FOUND is set to
TRUE. If it is not found and REQUIRED was used, it fails with a mes-
sage(FATAL_ERROR), independent whether QUIET was used or not. If it is
found, success will be reported, including the content of the first
<required-var>. On repeated CMake runs, the same message will not be
printed again.
NOTE:
If <PackageName> does not match CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NAME for the
calling module, a warning that there is a mismatch is given. The
FPHSA_NAME_MISMATCHED variable may be set to bypass the warning if
using the old signature and the NAME_MISMATCHED argument using the
new signature. To avoid forcing the caller to require newer versions
of CMake for usage, the variableas value will be used if defined
when the NAME_MISMATCHED argument is not passed for the new signa-
ture (but using both is an error)..
Example for the full signature:
find_package_handle_standard_args(LibArchive
REQUIRED_VARS LibArchive_LIBRARY LibArchive_INCLUDE_DIR
VERSION_VAR LibArchive_VERSION)
In this case, the LibArchive package is considered to be found if both
LibArchive_LIBRARY and LibArchive_INCLUDE_DIR are valid. Also the ver-
sion of LibArchive will be checked by using the version contained in
LibArchive_VERSION. Since no FAIL_MESSAGE is given, the default mes-
sages will be printed.
Another example for the full signature:
find_package(Automoc4 QUIET NO_MODULE HINTS /opt/automoc4)
find_package_handle_standard_args(Automoc4 CONFIG_MODE)
In this case, a FindAutmoc4.cmake module wraps a call to find_pack-
age(Automoc4 NO_MODULE) and adds an additional search directory for
automoc4. Then the call to find_package_handle_standard_args produces
a proper success/failure message.
FindPackageMessage
find_package_message(<name> "message for user" "find result details")
This function is intended to be used in FindXXX.cmake modules files.
It will print a message once for each unique find result. This is use-
ful for telling the user where a package was found. The first argument
specifies the name (XXX) of the package. The second argument specifies
the message to display. The third argument lists details about the
find result so that if they change the message will be displayed again.
The macro also obeys the QUIET argument to the find_package command.
Example:
if(X11_FOUND)
find_package_message(X11 "Found X11: ${X11_X11_LIB}"
"[${X11_X11_LIB}][${X11_INCLUDE_DIR}]")
else()
...
endif()
FortranCInterface
Fortran/C Interface Detection
This module automatically detects the API by which C and Fortran lan-
guages interact.
Module Variables
Variables that indicate if the mangling is found:
FortranCInterface_GLOBAL_FOUND
Global subroutines and functions.
FortranCInterface_MODULE_FOUND
Module subroutines and functions (declared by aMODULE PROCE-
DUREa).
This module also provides the following variables to specify the
detected mangling, though a typical use case does not need to reference
them and can use the Module Functions below.
FortranCInterface_GLOBAL_PREFIX
Prefix for a global symbol without an underscore.
FortranCInterface_GLOBAL_SUFFIX
Suffix for a global symbol without an underscore.
FortranCInterface_GLOBAL_CASE
The case for a global symbol without an underscore, either UPPER
or LOWER.
FortranCInterface_GLOBAL__PREFIX
Prefix for a global symbol with an underscore.
FortranCInterface_GLOBAL__SUFFIX
Suffix for a global symbol with an underscore.
FortranCInterface_GLOBAL__CASE
The case for a global symbol with an underscore, either UPPER or
LOWER.
FortranCInterface_MODULE_PREFIX
Prefix for a module symbol without an underscore.
FortranCInterface_MODULE_MIDDLE
Middle of a module symbol without an underscore that appears
between the name of the module and the name of the symbol.
FortranCInterface_MODULE_SUFFIX
Suffix for a module symbol without an underscore.
FortranCInterface_MODULE_CASE
The case for a module symbol without an underscore, either UPPER
or LOWER.
FortranCInterface_MODULE__PREFIX
Prefix for a module symbol with an underscore.
FortranCInterface_MODULE__MIDDLE
Middle of a module symbol with an underscore that appears
between the name of the module and the name of the symbol.
FortranCInterface_MODULE__SUFFIX
Suffix for a module symbol with an underscore.
FortranCInterface_MODULE__CASE
The case for a module symbol with an underscore, either UPPER or
LOWER.
Module Functions
FortranCInterface_HEADER
The FortranCInterface_HEADER function is provided to generate a
C header file containing macros to mangle symbol names:
FortranCInterface_HEADER(<file>
[MACRO_NAMESPACE <macro-ns>]
[SYMBOL_NAMESPACE <ns>]
[SYMBOLS [<module>:]<function> ...])
It generates in <file> definitions of the following macros:
#define FortranCInterface_GLOBAL (name,NAME) ...
#define FortranCInterface_GLOBAL_(name,NAME) ...
#define FortranCInterface_MODULE (mod,name, MOD,NAME) ...
#define FortranCInterface_MODULE_(mod,name, MOD,NAME) ...
These macros mangle four categories of Fortran symbols, respec-
tively:
o Global symbols without a_a: call mysub()
o Global symbols with a_a : call my_sub()
o Module symbols without a_a: use mymod; call mysub()
o Module symbols with a_a : use mymod; call my_sub()
If mangling for a category is not known, its macro is left unde-
fined. All macros require raw names in both lower case and
upper case.
The options are:
MACRO_NAMESPACE
Replace the default FortranCInterface_ prefix with a
given namespace <macro-ns>.
SYMBOLS
List symbols to mangle automatically with C preprocessor
definitions:
<function> ==> #define <ns><function> ...
<module>:<function> ==> #define <ns><module>_<function> ...
If the mangling for some symbol is not known then no pre-
processor definition is created, and a warning is dis-
played.
SYMBOL_NAMESPACE
Prefix all preprocessor definitions generated by the SYM-
BOLS option with a given namespace <ns>.
FortranCInterface_VERIFY
The FortranCInterface_VERIFY function is provided to verify that
the Fortran and C/C++ compilers work together:
FortranCInterface_VERIFY([CXX] [QUIET])
It tests whether a simple test executable using Fortran and C
(and C++ when the CXX option is given) compiles and links suc-
cessfully. The result is stored in the cache entry FortranCIn-
terface_VERIFIED_C (or FortranCInterface_VERIFIED_CXX if CXX is
given) as a boolean. If the check fails and QUIET is not given
the function terminates with a fatal error message describing
the problem. The purpose of this check is to stop a build early
for incompatible compiler combinations. The test is built in
the Release configuration.
Example Usage
include(FortranCInterface)
FortranCInterface_HEADER(FC.h MACRO_NAMESPACE "FC_")
This creates a aFC.ha header that defines mangling macros FC_GLOBAL(),
FC_GLOBAL_(), FC_MODULE(), and FC_MODULE_().
include(FortranCInterface)
FortranCInterface_HEADER(FCMangle.h
MACRO_NAMESPACE "FC_"
SYMBOL_NAMESPACE "FC_"
SYMBOLS mysub mymod:my_sub)
This creates a aFCMangle.ha header that defines the same FC_*() man-
gling macros as the previous example plus preprocessor symbols FC_mysub
and FC_mymod_my_sub.
Additional Manglings
FortranCInterface is aware of possible GLOBAL and MODULE manglings for
many Fortran compilers, but it also provides an interface to specify
new possible manglings. Set the variables:
FortranCInterface_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS
FortranCInterface_MODULE_SYMBOLS
before including FortranCInterface to specify manglings of the symbols
MySub, My_Sub, MyModule:MySub, and My_Module:My_Sub. For example, the
code:
set(FortranCInterface_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS mysub_ my_sub__ MYSUB_)
# ^^^^^ ^^^^^^ ^^^^^
set(FortranCInterface_MODULE_SYMBOLS
__mymodule_MOD_mysub __my_module_MOD_my_sub)
# ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^
include(FortranCInterface)
tells FortranCInterface to try given GLOBAL and MODULE manglings. (The
carets point at raw symbol names for clarity in this example but are
not needed.)
GenerateExportHeader
Function for generation of export macros for libraries
This module provides the function GENERATE_EXPORT_HEADER().
The GENERATE_EXPORT_HEADER function can be used to generate a file
suitable for preprocessor inclusion which contains EXPORT macros to be
used in library classes:
GENERATE_EXPORT_HEADER( LIBRARY_TARGET
[BASE_NAME <base_name>]
[EXPORT_MACRO_NAME <export_macro_name>]
[EXPORT_FILE_NAME <export_file_name>]
[DEPRECATED_MACRO_NAME <deprecated_macro_name>]
[NO_EXPORT_MACRO_NAME <no_export_macro_name>]
[INCLUDE_GUARD_NAME <include_guard_name>]
[STATIC_DEFINE <static_define>]
[NO_DEPRECATED_MACRO_NAME <no_deprecated_macro_name>]
[DEFINE_NO_DEPRECATED]
[PREFIX_NAME <prefix_name>]
[CUSTOM_CONTENT_FROM_VARIABLE <variable>]
)
The target properties CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET and VISIBILITY_INLINES_HID-
DEN can be used to add the appropriate compile flags for targets. See
the documentation of those target properties, and the convenience vari-
ables CMAKE_CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET and CMAKE_VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN.
By default GENERATE_EXPORT_HEADER() generates macro names in a file
name determined by the name of the library. This means that in the
simplest case, users of GenerateExportHeader will be equivalent to:
set(CMAKE_CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET hidden)
set(CMAKE_VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN 1)
add_library(somelib someclass.cpp)
generate_export_header(somelib)
install(TARGETS somelib DESTINATION ${LIBRARY_INSTALL_DIR})
install(FILES
someclass.h
${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/somelib_export.h DESTINATION ${INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR}
)
And in the ABI header files:
#include "somelib_export.h"
class SOMELIB_EXPORT SomeClass {
...
};
The CMake fragment will generate a file in the ${CMAKE_CUR-
RENT_BINARY_DIR} called somelib_export.h containing the macros
SOMELIB_EXPORT, SOMELIB_NO_EXPORT, SOMELIB_DEPRECATED, SOMELIB_DEPRE-
CATED_EXPORT and SOMELIB_DEPRECATED_NO_EXPORT. They will be followed
by content taken from the variable specified by the CUSTOM_CON-
TENT_FROM_VARIABLE option, if any. The resulting file should be
installed with other headers in the library.
The BASE_NAME argument can be used to override the file name and the
names used for the macros:
add_library(somelib someclass.cpp)
generate_export_header(somelib
BASE_NAME other_name
)
Generates a file called other_name_export.h containing the macros
OTHER_NAME_EXPORT, OTHER_NAME_NO_EXPORT and OTHER_NAME_DEPRECATED etc.
The BASE_NAME may be overridden by specifying other options in the
function. For example:
add_library(somelib someclass.cpp)
generate_export_header(somelib
EXPORT_MACRO_NAME OTHER_NAME_EXPORT
)
creates the macro OTHER_NAME_EXPORT instead of SOMELIB_EXPORT, but
other macros and the generated file name is as default:
add_library(somelib someclass.cpp)
generate_export_header(somelib
DEPRECATED_MACRO_NAME KDE_DEPRECATED
)
creates the macro KDE_DEPRECATED instead of SOMELIB_DEPRECATED.
If LIBRARY_TARGET is a static library, macros are defined without val-
ues.
If the same sources are used to create both a shared and a static
library, the uppercased symbol ${BASE_NAME}_STATIC_DEFINE should be
used when building the static library:
add_library(shared_variant SHARED ${lib_SRCS})
add_library(static_variant ${lib_SRCS})
generate_export_header(shared_variant BASE_NAME libshared_and_static)
set_target_properties(static_variant PROPERTIES
COMPILE_FLAGS -DLIBSHARED_AND_STATIC_STATIC_DEFINE)
This will cause the export macros to expand to nothing when building
the static library.
If DEFINE_NO_DEPRECATED is specified, then a macro ${BASE_NAME}_NO_DEP-
RECATED will be defined This macro can be used to remove deprecated
code from preprocessor output:
option(EXCLUDE_DEPRECATED "Exclude deprecated parts of the library" FALSE)
if (EXCLUDE_DEPRECATED)
set(NO_BUILD_DEPRECATED DEFINE_NO_DEPRECATED)
endif()
generate_export_header(somelib ${NO_BUILD_DEPRECATED})
And then in somelib:
class SOMELIB_EXPORT SomeClass
{
public:
#ifndef SOMELIB_NO_DEPRECATED
SOMELIB_DEPRECATED void oldMethod();
#endif
};
#ifndef SOMELIB_NO_DEPRECATED
void SomeClass::oldMethod() { }
#endif
If PREFIX_NAME is specified, the argument will be used as a prefix to
all generated macros.
For example:
generate_export_header(somelib PREFIX_NAME VTK_)
Generates the macros VTK_SOMELIB_EXPORT etc.
ADD_COMPILER_EXPORT_FLAGS( [<output_variable>] )
The ADD_COMPILER_EXPORT_FLAGS function adds -fvisibility=hidden to
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS if supported, and is a no-op on Windows which does not
need extra compiler flags for exporting support. You may optionally
pass a single argument to ADD_COMPILER_EXPORT_FLAGS that will be popu-
lated with the CXX_FLAGS required to enable visibility support for the
compiler/architecture in use.
This function is deprecated. Set the target properties CXX_VISIBIL-
ITY_PRESET and VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN instead.
GetPrerequisites
Deprecated since version 3.16: Use file(GET_RUNTIME_DEPENDENCIES)
instead.
Functions to analyze and list executable file prerequisites.
This module provides functions to list the .dll, .dylib or .so files
that an executable or shared library file depends on. (Its prerequi-
sites.)
It uses various tools to obtain the list of required shared library
files:
dumpbin (Windows)
objdump (MinGW on Windows)
ldd (Linux/Unix)
otool (Mac OSX)
The following functions are provided by this module:
get_prerequisites
list_prerequisites
list_prerequisites_by_glob
gp_append_unique
is_file_executable
gp_item_default_embedded_path
(projects can override with gp_item_default_embedded_path_override)
gp_resolve_item
(projects can override with gp_resolve_item_override)
gp_resolved_file_type
(projects can override with gp_resolved_file_type_override)
gp_file_type
Requires CMake 2.6 or greater because it uses function, break, return
and PARENT_SCOPE.
GET_PREREQUISITES(<target> <prerequisites_var> <exclude_system> <recurse>
<exepath> <dirs> [<rpaths>])
Get the list of shared library files required by <target>. The list in
the variable named <prerequisites_var> should be empty on first entry
to this function. On exit, <prerequisites_var> will contain the list
of required shared library files.
<target> is the full path to an executable file. <prerequisites_var>
is the name of a CMake variable to contain the results. <exclude_sys-
tem> must be 0 or 1 indicating whether to include or exclude asystema
prerequisites. If <recurse> is set to 1 all prerequisites will be
found recursively, if set to 0 only direct prerequisites are listed.
<exepath> is the path to the top level executable used for @exe-
cutable_path replacment on the Mac. <dirs> is a list of paths where
libraries might be found: these paths are searched first when a target
without any path info is given. Then standard system locations are
also searched: PATH, Framework locations, /usr/liba|
The variable GET_PREREQUISITES_VERBOSE can be set to true to enable
verbose output.
LIST_PREREQUISITES(<target> [<recurse> [<exclude_system> [<verbose>]]])
Print a message listing the prerequisites of <target>.
<target> is the name of a shared library or executable target or the
full path to a shared library or executable file. If <recurse> is set
to 1 all prerequisites will be found recursively, if set to 0 only
direct prerequisites are listed. <exclude_system> must be 0 or 1 indi-
cating whether to include or exclude asystema prerequisites. With
<verbose> set to 0 only the full path names of the prerequisites are
printed, set to 1 extra informatin will be displayed.
LIST_PREREQUISITES_BY_GLOB(<glob_arg> <glob_exp>)
Print the prerequisites of shared library and executable files matching
a globbing pattern. <glob_arg> is GLOB or GLOB_RECURSE and <glob_exp>
is a globbing expression used with afile(GLOBa or afile(GLOB_RECURSEa
to retrieve a list of matching files. If a matching file is exe-
cutable, its prerequisites are listed.
Any additional (optional) arguments provided are passed along as the
optional arguments to the list_prerequisites calls.
GP_APPEND_UNIQUE(<list_var> <value>)
Append <value> to the list variable <list_var> only if the value is not
already in the list.
IS_FILE_EXECUTABLE(<file> <result_var>)
Return 1 in <result_var> if <file> is a binary executable, 0 otherwise.
GP_ITEM_DEFAULT_EMBEDDED_PATH(<item> <default_embedded_path_var>)
Return the path that others should refer to the item by when the item
is embedded inside a bundle.
Override on a per-project basis by providing a project-specific
gp_item_default_embedded_path_override function.
GP_RESOLVE_ITEM(<context> <item> <exepath> <dirs> <resolved_item_var>
[<rpaths>])
Resolve an item into an existing full path file.
Override on a per-project basis by providing a project-specific
gp_resolve_item_override function.
GP_RESOLVED_FILE_TYPE(<original_file> <file> <exepath> <dirs> <type_var>
[<rpaths>])
Return the type of <file> with respect to <original_file>. String
describing type of prerequisite is returned in variable named
<type_var>.
Use <exepath> and <dirs> if necessary to resolve non-absolute <file>
values a but only for non-embedded items.
Possible types are:
system
local
embedded
other
Override on a per-project basis by providing a project-specific
gp_resolved_file_type_override function.
GP_FILE_TYPE(<original_file> <file> <type_var>)
Return the type of <file> with respect to <original_file>. String
describing type of prerequisite is returned in variable named
<type_var>.

GNUInstallDirs
Define GNU standard installation directories
Provides install directory variables as defined by the GNU Coding Stan-
dards.
Result Variables
Inclusion of this module defines the following variables:
CMAKE_INSTALL_<dir>
Destination for files of a given type. This value may be passed to
the DESTINATION options of install() commands for the corresponding
file type.
CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_<dir>
The absolute path generated from the corresponding
CMAKE_INSTALL_<dir> value. If the value is not already an absolute
path, an absolute path is constructed typically by prepending the
value of the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable. However, there are some
special cases as documented below.
where <dir> is one of:
BINDIR user executables (bin)
SBINDIR
system admin executables (sbin)
LIBEXECDIR
program executables (libexec)
SYSCONFDIR
read-only single-machine data (etc)
SHAREDSTATEDIR
modifiable architecture-independent data (com)
LOCALSTATEDIR
modifiable single-machine data (var)
RUNSTATEDIR
run-time variable data (LOCALSTATEDIR/run)
LIBDIR object code libraries (lib or lib64 or lib/<multiarch-tuple> on
Debian)
INCLUDEDIR
C header files (include)
OLDINCLUDEDIR
C header files for non-gcc (/usr/include)
DATAROOTDIR
read-only architecture-independent data root (share)
DATADIR
read-only architecture-independent data (DATAROOTDIR)
INFODIR
info documentation (DATAROOTDIR/info)
LOCALEDIR
locale-dependent data (DATAROOTDIR/locale)
MANDIR man documentation (DATAROOTDIR/man)
DOCDIR documentation root (DATAROOTDIR/doc/PROJECT_NAME)
If the includer does not define a value the above-shown default will be
used and the value will appear in the cache for editing by the user.
Special Cases
The following values of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX are special:
/
For <dir> other than the SYSCONFDIR, LOCALSTATEDIR and RUNSTATEDIR,
the value of CMAKE_INSTALL_<dir> is prefixed with usr/ if it is not
user-specified as an absolute path. For example, the INCLUDEDIR
value include becomes usr/include. This is required by the GNU Cod-
ing Standards, which state:
When building the complete GNU system, the prefix will be empty
and /usr will be a symbolic link to /.
/usr
For <dir> equal to SYSCONFDIR, LOCALSTATEDIR or RUNSTATEDIR, the
CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_<dir> is computed by prepending just / to the
value of CMAKE_INSTALL_<dir> if it is not user-specified as an abso-
lute path. For example, the SYSCONFDIR value etc becomes /etc.
This is required by the GNU Coding Standards.
/opt/...
For <dir> equal to SYSCONFDIR, LOCALSTATEDIR or RUNSTATEDIR, the
CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_<dir> is computed by appending the prefix to the
value of CMAKE_INSTALL_<dir> if it is not user-specified as an abso-
lute path. For example, the SYSCONFDIR value etc becomes
/etc/opt/.... This is defined by the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.
Macros
GNUInstallDirs_get_absolute_install_dir
GNUInstallDirs_get_absolute_install_dir(absvar var)
Set the given variable absvar to the absolute path contained
within the variable var. This is to allow the computation of an
absolute path, accounting for all the special cases documented
above. While this macro is used to compute the various
CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_<dir> variables, it is exposed publicly to
allow users who create additional path variables to also compute
absolute paths where necessary, using the same logic.
GoogleTest
This module defines functions to help use the Google Test infrastruc-
ture. Two mechanisms for adding tests are provided. gtest_add_tests()
has been around for some time, originally via find_package(GTest).
gtest_discover_tests() was introduced in CMake 3.10.
The (older) gtest_add_tests() scans source files to identify tests.
This is usually effective, with some caveats, including in cross-com-
piling environments, and makes setting additional properties on tests
more convenient. However, its handling of parameterized tests is less
comprehensive, and it requires re-running CMake to detect changes to
the list of tests.
The (newer) gtest_discover_tests() discovers tests by asking the com-
piled test executable to enumerate its tests. This is more robust and
provides better handling of parameterized tests, and does not require
CMake to be re-run when tests change. However, it may not work in a
cross-compiling environment, and setting test properties is less conve-
nient.
More details can be found in the documentation of the respective func-
tions.
Both commands are intended to replace use of add_test() to register
tests, and will create a separate CTest test for each Google Test test
case. Note that this is in some cases less efficient, as common set-up
and tear-down logic cannot be shared by multiple test cases executing
in the same instance. However, it provides more fine-grained pass/fail
information to CTest, which is usually considered as more beneficial.
By default, the CTest test name is the same as the Google Test name
(i.e. suite.testcase); see also TEST_PREFIX and TEST_SUFFIX.
gtest_add_tests
Automatically add tests with CTest by scanning source code for
Google Test macros:
gtest_add_tests(TARGET target
[SOURCES src1...]
[EXTRA_ARGS arg1...]
[WORKING_DIRECTORY dir]
[TEST_PREFIX prefix]
[TEST_SUFFIX suffix]
[SKIP_DEPENDENCY]
[TEST_LIST outVar]
)
gtest_add_tests attempts to identify tests by scanning source
files. Although this is generally effective, it uses only a
basic regular expression match, which can be defeated by atypi-
cal test declarations, and is unable to fully asplita parameter-
ized tests. Additionally, it requires that CMake be re-run to
discover any newly added, removed or renamed tests (by default,
this means that CMake is re-run when any test source file is
changed, but see SKIP_DEPENDENCY). However, it has the advan-
tage of declaring tests at CMake time, which somewhat simplifies
setting additional properties on tests, and always works in a
cross-compiling environment.
The options are:
TARGET target
Specifies the Google Test executable, which must be a
known CMake executable target. CMake will substitute the
location of the built executable when running the test.
SOURCES src1...
When provided, only the listed files will be scanned for
test cases. If this option is not given, the SOURCES
property of the specified target will be used to obtain
the list of sources.
EXTRA_ARGS arg1...
Any extra arguments to pass on the command line to each
test case.
WORKING_DIRECTORY dir
Specifies the directory in which to run the discovered
test cases. If this option is not provided, the current
binary directory is used.
TEST_PREFIX prefix
Specifies a prefix to be prepended to the name of each
discovered test case. This can be useful when the same
source files are being used in multiple calls to
gtest_add_test() but with different EXTRA_ARGS.
TEST_SUFFIX suffix
Similar to TEST_PREFIX except the suffix is appended to
the name of every discovered test case. Both TEST_PREFIX
and TEST_SUFFIX may be specified.
SKIP_DEPENDENCY
Normally, the function creates a dependency which will
cause CMake to be re-run if any of the sources being
scanned are changed. This is to ensure that the list of
discovered tests is updated. If this behavior is not
desired (as may be the case while actually writing the
test cases), this option can be used to prevent the
dependency from being added.
TEST_LIST outVar
The variable named by outVar will be populated in the
calling scope with the list of discovered test cases.
This allows the caller to do things like manipulate test
properties of the discovered tests.
include(GoogleTest)
add_executable(FooTest FooUnitTest.cxx)
gtest_add_tests(TARGET FooTest
TEST_SUFFIX .noArgs
TEST_LIST noArgsTests
)
gtest_add_tests(TARGET FooTest
EXTRA_ARGS --someArg someValue
TEST_SUFFIX .withArgs
TEST_LIST withArgsTests
)
set_tests_properties(${noArgsTests} PROPERTIES TIMEOUT 10)
set_tests_properties(${withArgsTests} PROPERTIES TIMEOUT 20)
For backward compatibility, the following form is also sup-
ported:
gtest_add_tests(exe args files...)
exe The path to the test executable or the name of a CMake
target.
args A ;-list of extra arguments to be passed to executable.
The entire list must be passed as a single argument.
Enclose it in quotes, or pass "" for no arguments.
files...
A list of source files to search for tests and test fix-
tures. Alternatively, use AUTO to specify that exe is
the name of a CMake executable target whose sources
should be scanned.
include(GoogleTest)
set(FooTestArgs --foo 1 --bar 2)
add_executable(FooTest FooUnitTest.cxx)
gtest_add_tests(FooTest "${FooTestArgs}" AUTO)
gtest_discover_tests
Automatically add tests with CTest by querying the compiled test
executable for available tests:
gtest_discover_tests(target
[EXTRA_ARGS arg1...]
[WORKING_DIRECTORY dir]
[TEST_PREFIX prefix]
[TEST_SUFFIX suffix]
[NO_PRETTY_TYPES] [NO_PRETTY_VALUES]
[PROPERTIES name1 value1...]
[TEST_LIST var]
[DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT seconds]
)
gtest_discover_tests sets up a post-build command on the test
executable that generates the list of tests by parsing the out-
put from running the test with the --gtest_list_tests argument.
Compared to the source parsing approach of gtest_add_tests(),
this ensures that the full list of tests, including instantia-
tions of parameterized tests, is obtained. Since test discovery
occurs at build time, it is not necessary to re-run CMake when
the list of tests changes. However, it requires that CROSSCOM-
PILING_EMULATOR is properly set in order to function in a
cross-compiling environment.
Additionally, setting properties on tests is somewhat less con-
venient, since the tests are not available at CMake time. Addi-
tional test properties may be assigned to the set of tests as a
whole using the PROPERTIES option. If more fine-grained test
control is needed, custom content may be provided through an
external CTest script using the TEST_INCLUDE_FILES directory
property. The set of discovered tests is made accessible to
such a script via the <target>_TESTS variable.
The options are:
target Specifies the Google Test executable, which must be a
known CMake executable target. CMake will substitute the
location of the built executable when running the test.
EXTRA_ARGS arg1...
Any extra arguments to pass on the command line to each
test case.
WORKING_DIRECTORY dir
Specifies the directory in which to run the discovered
test cases. If this option is not provided, the current
binary directory is used.
TEST_PREFIX prefix
Specifies a prefix to be prepended to the name of each
discovered test case. This can be useful when the same
test executable is being used in multiple calls to
gtest_discover_tests() but with different EXTRA_ARGS.
TEST_SUFFIX suffix
Similar to TEST_PREFIX except the suffix is appended to
the name of every discovered test case. Both TEST_PREFIX
and TEST_SUFFIX may be specified.
NO_PRETTY_TYPES
By default, the type index of type-parameterized tests is
replaced by the actual type name in the CTest test name.
If this behavior is undesirable (e.g. because the type
names are unwieldy), this option will suppress this
behavior.
NO_PRETTY_VALUES
By default, the value index of value-parameterized tests
is replaced by the actual value in the CTest test name.
If this behavior is undesirable (e.g. because the value
strings are unwieldy), this option will suppress this
behavior.
PROPERTIES name1 value1...
Specifies additional properties to be set on all tests
discovered by this invocation of gtest_discover_tests.
TEST_LIST var
Make the list of tests available in the variable var,
rather than the default <target>_TESTS. This can be use-
ful when the same test executable is being used in multi-
ple calls to gtest_discover_tests(). Note that this
variable is only available in CTest.
DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT num
Specifies how long (in seconds) CMake will wait for the
test to enumerate available tests. If the test takes
longer than this, discovery (and your build) will fail.
Most test executables will enumerate their tests very
quickly, but under some exceptional circumstances, a test
may require a longer timeout. The default is 5. See
also the TIMEOUT option of execute_process().
NOTE:
In CMake versions 3.10.1 and 3.10.2, this option was
called TIMEOUT. This clashed with the TIMEOUT test
property, which is one of the common properties that
would be set with the PROPERTIES keyword, usually
leading to legal but unintended behavior. The keyword
was changed to DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT in CMake 3.10.3 to
address this problem. The ambiguous behavior of the
TIMEOUT keyword in 3.10.1 and 3.10.2 has not been pre-
served.
InstallRequiredSystemLibraries
Include this module to search for compiler-provided system runtime
libraries and add install rules for them. Some optional variables may
be set prior to including the module to adjust behavior:
CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS
Specify additional runtime libraries that may not be detected.
After inclusion any detected libraries will be appended to this.
CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS_SKIP
Set to TRUE to skip calling the install(PROGRAMS) command to
allow the includer to specify its own install rule, using the
value of CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS to get the list of
libraries.
CMAKE_INSTALL_DEBUG_LIBRARIES
Set to TRUE to install the debug runtime libraries when avail-
able with MSVC tools.
CMAKE_INSTALL_DEBUG_LIBRARIES_ONLY
Set to TRUE to install only the debug runtime libraries with
MSVC tools even if the release runtime libraries are also avail-
able.
CMAKE_INSTALL_UCRT_LIBRARIES
Set to TRUE to install the Windows Universal CRT libraries for
app-local deployment (e.g. to Windows XP). This is meaningful
only with MSVC from Visual Studio 2015 or higher.
One may set a CMAKE_WINDOWS_KITS_10_DIR environment variable to
an absolute path to tell CMake to look for Windows 10 SDKs in a
custom location. The specified directory is expected to contain
Redist/ucrt/DLLs/* directories.
CMAKE_INSTALL_MFC_LIBRARIES
Set to TRUE to install the MSVC MFC runtime libraries.
CMAKE_INSTALL_OPENMP_LIBRARIES
Set to TRUE to install the MSVC OpenMP runtime libraries
CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_DESTINATION
Specify the install(PROGRAMS) command DESTINATION option. If
not specified, the default is bin on Windows and lib elsewhere.
CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS_NO_WARNINGS
Set to TRUE to disable warnings about required library files
that do not exist. (For example, Visual Studio Express editions
may not provide the redistributable files.)
CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_COMPONENT
Specify the install(PROGRAMS) command COMPONENT option. If not
specified, no such option will be used.
ProcessorCount
ProcessorCount(var)
Determine the number of processors/cores and save value in ${var}
Sets the variable named ${var} to the number of physical cores avail-
able on the machine if the information can be determined. Otherwise it
is set to 0. Currently this functionality is implemented for AIX, cyg-
win, FreeBSD, HPUX, Linux, macOS, QNX, Sun and Windows.
This function is guaranteed to return a positive integer (>=1) if it
succeeds. It returns 0 if thereas a problem determining the processor
count.
Example use, in a ctest -S dashboard script:
include(ProcessorCount)
ProcessorCount(N)
if(NOT N EQUAL 0)
set(CTEST_BUILD_FLAGS -j${N})
set(ctest_test_args ${ctest_test_args} PARALLEL_LEVEL ${N})
endif()
This function is intended to offer an approximation of the value of the
number of compute cores available on the current machine, such that you
may use that value for parallel building and parallel testing. It is
meant to help utilize as much of the machine as seems reasonable. Of
course, knowledge of what else might be running on the machine simulta-
neously should be used when deciding whether to request a machineas
full capacity all for yourself.
SelectLibraryConfigurations
select_library_configurations(basename)
This macro takes a library base name as an argument, and will choose
good values for the variables
basename_LIBRARY
basename_LIBRARIES
basename_LIBRARY_DEBUG
basename_LIBRARY_RELEASE
depending on what has been found and set.
If only basename_LIBRARY_RELEASE is defined, basename_LIBRARY will be
set to the release value, and basename_LIBRARY_DEBUG will be set to
basename_LIBRARY_DEBUG-NOTFOUND. If only basename_LIBRARY_DEBUG is
defined, then basename_LIBRARY will take the debug value, and base-
name_LIBRARY_RELEASE will be set to basename_LIBRARY_RELEASE-NOTFOUND.
If the generator supports configuration types, then basename_LIBRARY
and basename_LIBRARIES will be set with debug and optimized flags spec-
ifying the library to be used for the given configuration. If no build
type has been set or the generator in use does not support configura-
tion types, then basename_LIBRARY and basename_LIBRARIES will take only
the release value, or the debug value if the release one is not set.
SquishTestScript
This script launches a GUI test using Squish. You should not call the
script directly; instead, you should access it via the SQUISH_ADD_TEST
macro that is defined in FindSquish.cmake.
This script starts the Squish server, launches the test on the client,
and finally stops the squish server. If any of these steps fail
(including if the tests do not pass) then a fatal error is raised.
TestBigEndian
Define macro to determine endian type
Check if the system is big endian or little endian
TEST_BIG_ENDIAN(VARIABLE)
VARIABLE - variable to store the result to
TestForANSIForScope
Check for ANSI for scope support
Check if the compiler restricts the scope of variables declared in a
for-init-statement to the loop body.
CMAKE_NO_ANSI_FOR_SCOPE - holds result
TestForANSIStreamHeaders
Test for compiler support of ANSI stream headers iostream, etc.
check if the compiler supports the standard ANSI iostream header (with-
out the .h)
CMAKE_NO_ANSI_STREAM_HEADERS - defined by the results
TestForSSTREAM
Test for compiler support of ANSI sstream header
check if the compiler supports the standard ANSI sstream header
CMAKE_NO_ANSI_STRING_STREAM - defined by the results
TestForSTDNamespace
Test for std:: namespace support
check if the compiler supports std:: on stl classes
CMAKE_NO_STD_NAMESPACE - defined by the results
UseEcos
This module defines variables and macros required to build eCos appli-
cation.
This file contains the following macros: ECOS_ADD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES()
- add the eCos include dirs ECOS_ADD_EXECUTABLE(name source1 a|
sourceN ) - create an eCos executable ECOS_ADJUST_DIRECTORY(VAR source1
a| sourceN ) - adjusts the path of the source files and puts the
result into VAR
Macros for selecting the toolchain: ECOS_USE_ARM_ELF_TOOLS() - enable
the ARM ELF toolchain for the directory where it is called
ECOS_USE_I386_ELF_TOOLS() - enable the i386 ELF toolchain for the
directory where it is called ECOS_USE_PPC_EABI_TOOLS() - enable the
PowerPC toolchain for the directory where it is called
It contains the following variables: ECOS_DEFINITIONS ECOSCONFIG_EXE-
CUTABLE ECOS_CONFIG_FILE - defaults to ecos.ecc, if your eCos configu-
ration file has a different name, adjust this variable for internal use
only:
ECOS_ADD_TARGET_LIB
UseJavaClassFilelist
This script create a list of compiled Java class files to be added to a
jar file. This avoids including cmake files which get created in the
binary directory.
UseJava
Use Module for Java
This file provides functions for Java. It is assumed that FindJava has
already been loaded. See FindJava for information on how to load Java
into your CMake project.
Creating And Installing JARs
add_jar(<target_name>
[SOURCES] <source1> [<source2>...] [<resource1>...]
[INCLUDE_JARS <jar1> [<jar2>...]]
[ENTRY_POINT <entry>]
[VERSION <version>]
[OUTPUT_NAME <name>]
[OUTPUT_DIR <dir>]
[GENERATE_NATIVE_HEADERS <target> [DESTINATION <dir>]]
)
This command creates a <target_name>.jar. It compiles the given
<source> files and adds the given <resource> files to the jar file.
Source files can be java files or listing files (prefixed by @). If
only resource files are given then just a jar file is created. The
list of INCLUDE_JARS are added to the classpath when compiling the java
sources and also to the dependencies of the target. INCLUDE_JARS also
accepts other target names created by add_jar(). For backwards compat-
ibility, jar files listed as sources are ignored (as they have been
since the first version of this module).
The default OUTPUT_DIR can also be changed by setting the variable
CMAKE_JAVA_TARGET_OUTPUT_DIR.
Optionally, using option GENERATE_NATIVE_HEADERS, native header files
can be generated for methods declared as native. These files provide
the connective glue that allow your Java and C code to interact. An
INTERFACE target will be created for an easy usage of generated files.
Sub-option DESTINATION can be used to specify the output directory for
generated header files.
GENERATE_NATIVE_HEADERS option requires, at least, version 1.8 of the
JDK.
The add_jar() function sets the following target properties on <tar-
get_name>:
INSTALL_FILES
The files which should be installed. This is used by
install_jar().
JNI_SYMLINK
The JNI symlink which should be installed. This is used by
install_jni_symlink().
JAR_FILE
The location of the jar file so that you can include it.
CLASSDIR
The directory where the class files can be found. For example
to use them with javah.
install_jar(<target_name> <destination>)
install_jar(<target_name> DESTINATION <destination> [COMPONENT <component>])
This command installs the <target_name> files to the given <destina-
tion>. It should be called in the same scope as add_jar() or it will
fail.
The install_jar() function sets the INSTALL_DESTINATION target property
on jars so installed. This property holds the <destination> as
described above, and is used by install_jar_exports(). You can get
this information with get_property() and the INSTALL_DESTINATION prop-
erty key.
install_jni_symlink(<target_name> <destination>)
install_jni_symlink(<target_name> DESTINATION <destination> [COMPONENT <component>])
This command installs the <target_name> JNI symlinks to the given <des-
tination>. It should be called in the same scope as add_jar() or it
will fail.
install_jar_exports(TARGETS <jars>...
[NAMESPACE <namespace>]
FILE <filename>
DESTINATION <destination> [COMPONENT <component>])
This command installs a target export file <filename> for the named jar
targets to the given <destination> directory. Its function is similar
to that of install(EXPORTS).
export_jars(TARGETS <jars>...
[NAMESPACE <namespace>]
FILE <filename>)
This command writes a target export file <filename> for the named
<jars> targets. Its function is similar to that of export().
Examples
To add compile flags to the target you can set these flags with the
following variable:
set(CMAKE_JAVA_COMPILE_FLAGS -nowarn)
To add a path or a jar file to the class path you can do this with the
CMAKE_JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH variable.
set(CMAKE_JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH /usr/share/java/shibboleet.jar)
To use a different output name for the target you can set it with:
add_jar(foobar foobar.java OUTPUT_NAME shibboleet.jar)
To use a different output directory than CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR you
can set it with:
add_jar(foobar foobar.java OUTPUT_DIR ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/bin)
To define an entry point in your jar you can set it with the
ENTRY_POINT named argument:
add_jar(example ENTRY_POINT com/examples/MyProject/Main)
To define a custom manifest for the jar, you can set it with the MANI-
FEST named argument:
add_jar(example MANIFEST /path/to/manifest)
To add a version to the target output name you can set it using the
VERSION named argument to add_jar(). The following example will create
a jar file with the name shibboleet-1.0.0.jar and will create a symlink
shibboleet.jar pointing to the jar with the version information.
add_jar(shibboleet shibbotleet.java VERSION 1.2.0)
If the target is a JNI library, utilize the following commands to cre-
ate a JNI symbolic link:
set(CMAKE_JNI_TARGET TRUE)
add_jar(shibboleet shibbotleet.java VERSION 1.2.0)
install_jar(shibboleet ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}/shibboleet)
install_jni_symlink(shibboleet ${JAVA_LIB_INSTALL_DIR})
If a single target needs to produce more than one jar from its java
source code, to prevent the accumulation of duplicate class files in
subsequent jars, set/reset CMAKE_JAR_CLASSES_PREFIX prior to calling
the add_jar() function:
set(CMAKE_JAR_CLASSES_PREFIX com/redhat/foo)
add_jar(foo foo.java)
set(CMAKE_JAR_CLASSES_PREFIX com/redhat/bar)
add_jar(bar bar.java)
For an optimum usage of option GENERATE_NATIVE_HEADERS, it is recom-
mended to include module JNI before any call to add_jar(). The produced
target for native headers can then be used to compile C/C++ sources
with the target_link_libraries() command.
find_package(JNI)
add_jar(foo foo.java GENERATE_NATIVE_HEADERS foo-native)
add_library(bar bar.cpp)
target_link_libraries(bar PRIVATE foo-native)
Finding JARs
find_jar(<VAR>
<name> | NAMES <name1> [<name2>...]
[PATHS <path1> [<path2>... ENV <var>]]
[VERSIONS <version1> [<version2>]]
[DOC "cache documentation string"]
)
This command is used to find a full path to the named jar. A cache
entry named by <VAR> is created to store the result of this command.
If the full path to a jar is found the result is stored in the variable
and the search will not repeated unless the variable is cleared. If
nothing is found, the result will be <VAR>-NOTFOUND, and the search
will be attempted again next time find_jar() is invoked with the same
variable. The name of the full path to a file that is searched for is
specified by the names listed after NAMES argument. Additional search
locations can be specified after the PATHS argument. If you require
special a version of a jar file you can specify it with the VERSIONS
argument. The argument after DOC will be used for the documentation
string in the cache.
Javadoc
The create_javadoc() command can be used to create java documentation
based on files or packages. For more details please read the javadoc
manpage.
There are two main signatures for create_javadoc(). The first signa-
ture works with package names on a path with source files.
create_javadoc(<VAR>
PACKAGES <pkg1> [<pkg2>...]
[SOURCEPATH <sourcepath>]
[CLASSPATH <classpath>]
[INSTALLPATH <install path>]
[DOCTITLE "the documentation title"]
[WINDOWTITLE "the title of the document"]
[AUTHOR TRUE|FALSE]
[USE TRUE|FALSE]
[VERSION TRUE|FALSE]
)
For example:
create_javadoc(my_example_doc
PACKAGES com.example.foo com.example.bar
SOURCEPATH "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}"
CLASSPATH ${CMAKE_JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH}
WINDOWTITLE "My example"
DOCTITLE "<h1>My example</h1>"
AUTHOR TRUE
USE TRUE
VERSION TRUE
)
The second signature for create_javadoc() works on a given list of
files.
create_javadoc(<VAR>
FILES <file1> [<file2>...]
[CLASSPATH <classpath>]
[INSTALLPATH <install path>]
[DOCTITLE "the documentation title"]
[WINDOWTITLE "the title of the document"]
[AUTHOR TRUE|FALSE]
[USE TRUE|FALSE]
[VERSION TRUE|FALSE]
)
For example:
create_javadoc(my_example_doc
FILES ${example_SRCS}
CLASSPATH ${CMAKE_JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH}
WINDOWTITLE "My example"
DOCTITLE "<h1>My example</h1>"
AUTHOR TRUE
USE TRUE
VERSION TRUE
)
Both signatures share most of the options. These options are the same
as what you can find in the javadoc manpage. Please look at the man-
page for CLASSPATH, DOCTITLE, WINDOWTITLE, AUTHOR, USE and VERSION.
If you donat set the INSTALLPATH, then by default the documentation
will be installed to :
${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/share/javadoc/<VAR>
Header Generation
create_javah(TARGET <target> | GENERATED_FILES <VAR>
CLASSES <class>...
[CLASSPATH <classpath>...]
[DEPENDS <depend>...]
[OUTPUT_NAME <path>|OUTPUT_DIR <path>]
)
Create C header files from java classes. These files provide the con-
nective glue that allow your Java and C code to interact.
Deprecated since version 3.11.
NOTE:
This command will no longer be supported starting with version 10 of
the JDK due to the suppression of javah tool. The add_jar(GENER-
ATE_NATIVE_HEADERS) command should be used instead.
There are two main signatures for create_javah(). The first signature
returns generated files through variable specified by the GENER-
ATED_FILES option. For example:
create_javah(GENERATED_FILES files_headers
CLASSES org.cmake.HelloWorld
CLASSPATH hello.jar
)
The second signature for create_javah() creates a target which encapsu-
lates header files generation. E.g.
create_javah(TARGET target_headers
CLASSES org.cmake.HelloWorld
CLASSPATH hello.jar
)
Both signatures share same options.
CLASSES <class>...
Specifies Java classes used to generate headers.
CLASSPATH <classpath>...
Specifies various paths to look up classes. Here .class files,
jar files or targets created by command add_jar can be used.
DEPENDS <depend>...
Targets on which the javah target depends.
OUTPUT_NAME <path>
Concatenates the resulting header files for all the classes
listed by option CLASSES into <path>. Same behavior as option
-o of javah tool.
OUTPUT_DIR <path>
Sets the directory where the header files will be generated.
Same behavior as option -d of javah tool. If not specified,
CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR is used as the output directory.
UseJavaSymlinks
Helper script for UseJava.cmake
UseSWIG
This file provides support for SWIG. It is assumed that FindSWIG module
has already been loaded.
Defines the following command for use with SWIG:
swig_add_library
Define swig module with given name and specified language:
swig_add_library(<name>
[TYPE <SHARED|MODULE|STATIC|USE_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS>]
LANGUAGE <language>
[NO_PROXY]
[OUTPUT_DIR <directory>]
[OUTFILE_DIR <directory>]
SOURCES <file>...
)
Targets created with the swig_add_library command have the same
capabilities as targets created with the add_library() command,
so those targets can be used with any command expecting a target
(e.g. target_link_libraries()).
NOTE:
This command creates a target with the specified <name> when
policy CMP0078 is set to NEW. Otherwise, the legacy behavior
will choose a different target name and store it in the
SWIG_MODULE_<name>_REAL_NAME variable.
NOTE:
For multi-config generators, this module does not support
configuration-specific files generated by SWIG. All build
configurations must result in the same generated source file.
TYPE SHARED, MODULE and STATIC have the same semantic as for
the add_library() command. If USE_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is
specified, the library type will be STATIC or SHARED
based on whether the current value of the
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS variable is ON. If no type is speci-
fied, MODULE will be used.
LANGUAGE
Specify the target language.
NO_PROXY
Prevent the generation of the wrapper layer (swig
-noproxy option).
OUTPUT_DIR
Specify where to write the language specific files (swig
-outdir option). If not given, the CMAKE_SWIG_OUTDIR
variable will be used. If neither is specified, the
default depends on the value of the UseSWIG_MODULE_VER-
SION variable as follows:
o If UseSWIG_MODULE_VERSION is 1 or is undefined, output
is written to the CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR directory.
o If UseSWIG_MODULE_VERSION is 2, a dedicated directory
will be used. The path of this directory can be
retrieved from the SWIG_SUPPORT_FILES_DIRECTORY target
property.
OUTFILE_DIR
Specify an output directory name where the generated
source file will be placed (swig -o option). If not spec-
ified, the SWIG_OUTFILE_DIR variable will be used. If
neither is specified, OUTPUT_DIR or CMAKE_SWIG_OUTDIR is
used instead.
SOURCES
List of sources for the library. Files with extension .i
will be identified as sources for the SWIG tool. Other
files will be handled in the standard way. This behavior
can be overriden by specifying the variable
SWIG_SOURCE_FILE_EXTENSIONS.
NOTE:
If UseSWIG_MODULE_VERSION is set to 2, it is strongly recom-
mended to use a dedicated directory unique to the target when
either the OUTPUT_DIR option or the CMAKE_SWIG_OUTDIR vari-
able are specified. The output directory contents are erased
as part of the target build, so to prevent interference
between targets or losing other important files, each target
should have its own dedicated output directory.
swig_link_libraries
Link libraries to swig module:
swig_link_libraries(<name> <item>...)
This command has same capabilities as target_link_libraries()
command.
NOTE:
If variable UseSWIG_TARGET_NAME_PREFERENCE is set to STAN-
DARD, this command is deprecated and target_link_libraries()
command must be used instead.
Source file properties on module files must be set before the invoca-
tion of the swig_add_library command to specify special behavior of
SWIG and ensure generated files will receive the required settings.
CPLUSPLUS
Call SWIG in c++ mode. For example:
set_property(SOURCE mymod.i PROPERTY CPLUSPLUS ON)
swig_add_library(mymod LANGUAGE python SOURCES mymod.i)
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and COMPILE_OPTIONS
Add custom flags to SWIG compiler and have same semantic as
properties INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and COM-
PILE_OPTIONS.
USE_TARGET_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
If set to TRUE, contents of target property INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
will be forwarded to SWIG compiler. If set to FALSE target
property INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES will be ignored. If not set, target
property SWIG_USE_TARGET_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES will be considered.
GENERATED_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, GENERATED_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and GENER-
ATED_COMPILE_OPTIONS
Add custom flags to the C/C++ generated source. They will fill,
respectively, properties INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, COMPILE_DEFINI-
TIONS and COMPILE_OPTIONS of generated C/C++ file.
DEPENDS
Specify additional dependencies to the source file.
SWIG_MODULE_NAME
Specify the actual import name of the module in the target lan-
guage. This is required if it cannot be scanned automatically
from source or different from the module file basename. For
example:
set_property(SOURCE mymod.i PROPERTY SWIG_MODULE_NAME mymod_realname)
NOTE:
If policy CMP0086 is set to NEW, -module <module_name> is
passed to SWIG compiler.
Target library properties can be set to apply same configuration to all
SWIG input files.
SWIG_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, SWIG_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and SWIG_COM-
PILE_OPTIONS
These properties will be applied to all SWIG input files and
have same semantic as target properties INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES,
COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and COMPILE_OPTIONS.
set (UseSWIG_TARGET_NAME_PREFERENCE STANDARD)
swig_add_library(mymod LANGUAGE python SOURCES mymod.i)
set_property(TARGET mymod PROPERTY SWIG_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS MY_DEF1 MY_DEF2)
set_property(TARGET mymod PROPERTY SWIG_COMPILE_OPTIONS -bla -blb)
SWIG_USE_TARGET_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
If set to TRUE, contents of target property INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
will be forwarded to SWIG compiler. If set to FALSE or not
defined, target property INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES will be ignored.
This behavior can be overridden by specifying source property
USE_TARGET_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES.
SWIG_GENERATED_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, SWIG_GENERATED_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS
and SWIG_GENERATED_COMPILE_OPTIONS
These properties will populate, respectively, properties
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and COMPILE_FLAGS of
all generated C/C++ files.
SWIG_DEPENDS
Add dependencies to all SWIG input files.
The following target properties are output properties and can be used
to get information about support files generated by SWIG interface com-
pilation.
SWIG_SUPPORT_FILES
This output property list of wrapper files generated during SWIG
compilation.
set (UseSWIG_TARGET_NAME_PREFERENCE STANDARD)
swig_add_library(mymod LANGUAGE python SOURCES mymod.i)
get_property(support_files TARGET mymod PROPERTY SWIG_SUPPORT_FILES)
NOTE:
Only most principal support files are listed. In case some
advanced features of SWIG are used (for example %template),
associated support files may not be listed. Prefer to use the
SWIG_SUPPORT_FILES_DIRECTORY property to handle support
files.
SWIG_SUPPORT_FILES_DIRECTORY
This output property specifies the directory where support files
will be generated.
Some variables can be set to customize the behavior of swig_add_library
as well as SWIG:
UseSWIG_MODULE_VERSION
Specify different behaviors for UseSWIG module.
o Set to 1 or undefined: Legacy behavior is applied.
o Set to 2: A new strategy is applied regarding support files:
the output directory of support files is erased before SWIG
interface compilation.
CMAKE_SWIG_FLAGS
Add flags to all swig calls.
CMAKE_SWIG_OUTDIR
Specify where to write the language specific files (swig -outdir
option).
SWIG_OUTFILE_DIR
Specify an output directory name where the generated source file
will be placed. If not specified, CMAKE_SWIG_OUTDIR is used.
SWIG_MODULE_<name>_EXTRA_DEPS
Specify extra dependencies for the generated module for <name>.
SWIG_SOURCE_FILE_EXTENSIONS
Specify a list of source file extensions to override the default
behavior of considering only .i files as sources for the SWIG
tool. For example:
set(SWIG_SOURCE_FILE_EXTENSIONS ".i" ".swg")
UsewxWidgets
Convenience include for using wxWidgets library.
Determines if wxWidgets was FOUND and sets the appropriate libs,
incdirs, flags, etc. INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and LINK_DIRECTORIES are
called.
USAGE
# Note that for MinGW users the order of libs is important!
find_package(wxWidgets REQUIRED net gl core base)
include(${wxWidgets_USE_FILE})
# and for each of your dependent executable/library targets:
target_link_libraries(<YourTarget> ${wxWidgets_LIBRARIES})
DEPRECATED
LINK_LIBRARIES is not called in favor of adding dependencies per target.

WriteCompilerDetectionHeader
This module provides the function write_compiler_detection_header().
This function can be used to generate a file suitable for preprocessor
inclusion which contains macros to be used in source code:
write_compiler_detection_header(
FILE <file>
PREFIX <prefix>
[OUTPUT_FILES_VAR <output_files_var> OUTPUT_DIR <output_dir>]
COMPILERS <compiler> [...]
FEATURES <feature> [...]
[BARE_FEATURES <feature> [...]]
[VERSION <version>]
[PROLOG <prolog>]
[EPILOG <epilog>]
[ALLOW_UNKNOWN_COMPILERS]
[ALLOW_UNKNOWN_COMPILER_VERSIONS]
)
This generates the file <file> with macros which all have the prefix
<prefix>.
By default, all content is written directly to the <file>. The OUT-
PUT_FILES_VAR may be specified to cause the compiler-specific content
to be written to separate files. The separate files are then available
in the <output_files_var> and may be consumed by the caller for instal-
lation for example. The OUTPUT_DIR specifies a relative path from the
main <file> to the compiler-specific files. For example:
write_compiler_detection_header(
FILE climbingstats_compiler_detection.h
PREFIX ClimbingStats
OUTPUT_FILES_VAR support_files
OUTPUT_DIR compilers
COMPILERS GNU Clang MSVC Intel
FEATURES cxx_variadic_templates
)
install(FILES
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/climbingstats_compiler_detection.h
DESTINATION include
)
install(FILES
${support_files}
DESTINATION include/compilers
)
VERSION may be used to specify the API version to be generated. Future
versions of CMake may introduce alternative APIs. A given API is
selected by any <version> value greater than or equal to the version of
CMake that introduced the given API and less than the version of CMake
that introduced its succeeding API. The value of the CMAKE_MINI-
MUM_REQUIRED_VERSION variable is used if no explicit version is speci-
fied. (As of CMake version 3.17.1 there is only one API version.)
PROLOG may be specified as text content to write at the start of the
header. EPILOG may be specified as text content to write at the end of
the header
At least one <compiler> and one <feature> must be listed. Compilers
which are known to CMake, but not specified are detected and a pre-
processor #error is generated for them. A preprocessor macro matching
<PREFIX>_COMPILER_IS_<compiler> is generated for each compiler known to
CMake to contain the value 0 or 1.
Possible compiler identifiers are documented with the CMAKE_<LANG>_COM-
PILER_ID variable. Available features in this version of CMake are
listed in the CMAKE_C_KNOWN_FEATURES and CMAKE_CXX_KNOWN_FEATURES
global properties. The {c,cxx}_std_* meta-features are ignored if
requested.
See the cmake-compile-features(7) manual for information on compile
features.
BARE_FEATURES will define the compatibility macros with the name used
in newer versions of the language standard, so the code can use the new
feature name unconditionally.
ALLOW_UNKNOWN_COMPILERS and ALLOW_UNKNOWN_COMPILER_VERSIONS cause the
module to generate conditions that treat unknown compilers as simply
lacking all features. Without these options the default behavior is to
generate a #error for unknown compilers and versions.
Feature Test Macros
For each compiler, a preprocessor macro is generated matching <PRE-
FIX>_COMPILER_IS_<compiler> which has the content either 0 or 1,
depending on the compiler in use. Preprocessor macros for compiler ver-
sion components are generated matching <PREFIX>_COMPILER_VERSION_MAJOR
<PREFIX>_COMPILER_VERSION_MINOR and <PREFIX>_COMPILER_VERSION_PATCH
containing decimal values for the corresponding compiler version compo-
nents, if defined.
A preprocessor test is generated based on the compiler version denoting
whether each feature is enabled. A preprocessor macro matching <PRE-
FIX>_COMPILER_<FEATURE>, where <FEATURE> is the upper-case <feature>
name, is generated to contain the value 0 or 1 depending on whether the
compiler in use supports the feature:
write_compiler_detection_header(
FILE climbingstats_compiler_detection.h
PREFIX ClimbingStats
COMPILERS GNU Clang AppleClang MSVC Intel
FEATURES cxx_variadic_templates
)
#if ClimbingStats_COMPILER_CXX_VARIADIC_TEMPLATES
template<typename... T>
void someInterface(T t...) { /* ... */ }
#else
// Compatibility versions
template<typename T1>
void someInterface(T1 t1) { /* ... */ }
template<typename T1, typename T2>
void someInterface(T1 t1, T2 t2) { /* ... */ }
template<typename T1, typename T2, typename T3>
void someInterface(T1 t1, T2 t2, T3 t3) { /* ... */ }
#endif
Symbol Macros
Some additional symbol-defines are created for particular features for
use as symbols which may be conditionally defined empty:
class MyClass ClimbingStats_FINAL
{
ClimbingStats_CONSTEXPR int someInterface() { return 42; }
};
The ClimbingStats_FINAL macro will expand to final if the compiler (and
its flags) support the cxx_final feature, and the ClimbingStats_CONST-
EXPR macro will expand to constexpr if cxx_constexpr is supported.
If BARE_FEATURES cxx_final was given as argument the final keyword will
be defined for old compilers, too.
The following features generate corresponding symbol defines and if
they are available as BARE_FEATURES:
+------------------+--------------------+-------------+------+
|Feature | Define | Symbol | bare |
+------------------+--------------------+-------------+------+
|c_restrict | <PRE- | restrict | yes |
| | FIX>_RESTRICT | | |
+------------------+--------------------+-------------+------+
|cxx_constexpr | <PREFIX>_CONST- | constexpr | yes |
| | EXPR | | |
+------------------+--------------------+-------------+------+
|cxx_deleted_func- | <PRE- | = delete | |
|tions | FIX>_DELETED_FUNC- | | |

+------------------+--------------------+-------------+------+
|cxx_extern_tem- | <PRE- | extern | |
|plates | FIX>_EXTERN_TEM- | | |
| | PLATE | | |
+------------------+--------------------+-------------+------+
|cxx_final | <PREFIX>_FINAL | final | yes |
+------------------+--------------------+-------------+------+
|cxx_noexcept | <PREFIX>_NOEXCEPT | noexcept | yes |

|cxx_noexcept | <PREFIX>_NOEX- | noexcept(X) | |
| | CEPT_EXPR(X) | | |
+------------------+--------------------+-------------+------+
|cxx_override | <PREFIX>_OVERRIDE | override | yes |
+------------------+--------------------+-------------+------+
Compatibility Implementation Macros
Some features are suitable for wrapping in a macro with a backward com-
patibility implementation if the compiler does not support the feature.
When the cxx_static_assert feature is not provided by the compiler, a
compatibility implementation is available via the <PRE-
FIX>_STATIC_ASSERT(COND) and <PREFIX>_STATIC_ASSERT_MSG(COND, MSG)
function-like macros. The macros expand to static_assert where that
compiler feature is available, and to a compatibility implementation
otherwise. In the first form, the condition is stringified in the mes-
sage field of static_assert. In the second form, the message MSG is
passed to the message field of static_assert, or ignored if using the
backward compatibility implementation.
The cxx_attribute_deprecated feature provides a macro definition <PRE-
FIX>_DEPRECATED, which expands to either the standard [[deprecated]]
attribute or a compiler-specific decorator such as
__attribute__((__deprecated__)) used by GNU compilers.
The cxx_alignas feature provides a macro definition <PREFIX>_ALIGNAS
which expands to either the standard alignas decorator or a com-
piler-specific decorator such as __attribute__ ((__aligned__)) used by
GNU compilers.
The cxx_alignof feature provides a macro definition <PREFIX>_ALIGNOF
which expands to either the standard alignof decorator or a com-
piler-specific decorator such as __alignof__ used by GNU compilers.
+-------------------+------------------------+----------------+------+
|Feature | Define | Symbol | bare |
+-------------------+------------------------+----------------+------+
|cxx_alignas | <PREFIX>_ALIGNAS | alignas | |
+-------------------+------------------------+----------------+------+
|cxx_alignof | <PREFIX>_ALIGNOF | alignof | |
+-------------------+------------------------+----------------+------+
|cxx_nullptr | <PREFIX>_NULLPTR | nullptr | yes |
+-------------------+------------------------+----------------+------+
|cxx_static_assert | <PRE- | static_assert | |
| | FIX>_STATIC_ASSERT | | |
+-------------------+------------------------+----------------+------+
|cxx_static_assert | <PRE- | static_assert | |
| | FIX>_STATIC_ASSERT_MSG | | |
+-------------------+------------------------+----------------+------+
|cxx_attribute_dep- | <PREFIX>_DEPRECATED | [[deprecated]] | |
|recated | | | |
+-------------------+------------------------+----------------+------+
|cxx_attribute_dep- | <PREFIX>_DEPRE- | [[deprecated]] | |

+-------------------+------------------------+----------------+------+
|cxx_thread_local | <PREFIX>_THREAD_LOCAL | thread_local | |
+-------------------+------------------------+----------------+------+
A use-case which arises with such deprecation macros is the deprecation
of an entire library. In that case, all public API in the library may
be decorated with the <PREFIX>_DEPRECATED macro. This results in very
noisy build output when building the library itself, so the macro may
be may be defined to empty in that case when building the deprecated
library:
add_library(compat_support ${srcs})
target_compile_definitions(compat_support
PRIVATE
CompatSupport_DEPRECATED=
)

The minimum required version of bison can be specified using the stan-
dard CMake syntax, e.g. find_package(BISON 2.1.3).
If bison is found, the module defines the macro:
BISON_TARGET(<Name> <YaccInput> <CodeOutput>
[COMPILE_FLAGS <flags>]
[DEFINES_FILE <file>]
[VERBOSE [<file>]]
[REPORT_FILE <file>]
)
which will create a custom rule to generate a parser. <YaccInput> is
the path to a yacc file. <CodeOutput> is the name of the source file
generated by bison. A header file is also be generated, and contains
the token list.
The options are:
COMPILE_FLAGS <flags>
Specify flags to be added to the bison command line.
DEFINES_FILE <file>
Specify a non-default header <file> to be generated by bison.
VERBOSE [<file>]

For example, to use Intel MKL libraries and/or Intel compiler:
set(BLA_VENDOR Intel10_64lp)
find_package(BLAS)
Hints
Set the MKLROOT environment variable to a directory that contains an
MKL installation, or add the directory to the dynamic library loader
environment variable for your platform (LIB, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH or
LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
FindBacktrace
Find provider for backtrace(3).
Checks if OS supports backtrace(3) via either libc or custom library.
This module defines the following variables:
Backtrace_HEADER
The header file needed for backtrace(3). Cached. Could be
forcibly set by user.
Backtrace_INCLUDE_DIRS
The include directories needed to use backtrace(3) header.
Backtrace_LIBRARIES
The libraries (linker flags) needed to use backtrace(3), if any.
Backtrace_FOUND
Is set if and only if backtrace(3) support detected.
The following cache variables are also available to set or use:
Backtrace_LIBRARY
The external library providing backtrace, if any.
Backtrace_INCLUDE_DIR
The directory holding the backtrace(3) header.
Typical usage is to generate of header file using configure_file() with
the contents like the following:
#cmakedefine01 Backtrace_FOUND
#if Backtrace_FOUND
# include <${Backtrace_HEADER}>
#endif
And then reference that generated header file in actual source.
FindBoost
Find Boost include dirs and libraries
Use this module by invoking find_package with the form:
find_package(Boost
[version] [EXACT] # Minimum or EXACT version e.g. 1.67.0
[REQUIRED] # Fail with error if Boost is not found
[COMPONENTS <libs>...] # Boost libraries by their canonical name
# e.g. "date_time" for "libboost_date_time"
[OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS <libs>...]
# Optional Boost libraries by their canonical name)
) # e.g. "date_time" for "libboost_date_time"
This module finds headers and requested component libraries OR a CMake
package configuration file provided by a aBoost CMakea build. For the
latter case skip to the aBoost CMakea section below. For the former
case results are reported in variables:
Boost_FOUND - True if headers and requested libraries were found
Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS - Boost include directories
Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS - Link directories for Boost libraries
Boost_LIBRARIES - Boost component libraries to be linked
Boost_<C>_FOUND - True if component <C> was found (<C> is upper-case)
Boost_<C>_LIBRARY - Libraries to link for component <C> (may include
target_link_libraries debug/optimized keywords)
Boost_VERSION_MACRO - BOOST_VERSION value from boost/version.hpp
Boost_VERSION_STRING - Boost version number in x.y.z format
Boost_VERSION - if CMP0093 NEW => same as Boost_VERSION_STRING
if CMP0093 OLD or unset => same as Boost_VERSION_MACRO
Boost_LIB_VERSION - Version string appended to library filenames
Boost_VERSION_MAJOR - Boost major version number (X in X.y.z)
alias: Boost_MAJOR_VERSION
Boost_VERSION_MINOR - Boost minor version number (Y in x.Y.z)
alias: Boost_MINOR_VERSION
Boost_VERSION_PATCH - Boost subminor version number (Z in x.y.Z)
alias: Boost_SUBMINOR_VERSION
Boost_VERSION_COUNT - Amount of version components (3)
Boost_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC_DEFINITIONS (Windows)
- Pass to add_definitions() to have diagnostic
information about Boost's automatic linking
displayed during compilation
Note that Boost Python components require a Python version suffix
(Boost 1.67 and later), e.g. python36 or python27 for the versions
built against Python 3.6 and 2.7, respectively. This also applies to
additional components using Python including mpi_python and numpy.
Earlier Boost releases may use distribution-specific suffixes such as
2, 3 or 2.7. These may also be used as suffixes, but note that they
are not portable.
This module reads hints about search locations from variables:
BOOST_ROOT - Preferred installation prefix
(or BOOSTROOT)
BOOST_INCLUDEDIR - Preferred include directory e.g. <prefix>/include
BOOST_LIBRARYDIR - Preferred library directory e.g. <prefix>/lib
Boost_NO_SYSTEM_PATHS - Set to ON to disable searching in locations not
specified by these hint variables. Default is OFF.
Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS
- List of Boost versions not known to this module
(Boost install locations may contain the version)
and saves search results persistently in CMake cache entries:
Boost_INCLUDE_DIR - Directory containing Boost headers
Boost_LIBRARY_DIR_RELEASE - Directory containing release Boost libraries
Boost_LIBRARY_DIR_DEBUG - Directory containing debug Boost libraries
Boost_<C>_LIBRARY_DEBUG - Component <C> library debug variant
Boost_<C>_LIBRARY_RELEASE - Component <C> library release variant
The following IMPORTED targets are also defined:
Boost::headers - Target for header-only dependencies
(Boost include directory)
alias: Boost::boost
Boost::<C> - Target for specific component dependency
(shared or static library); <C> is lower-
case
Boost::diagnostic_definitions - interface target to enable diagnostic
information about Boost's automatic linking
during compilation (adds BOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC)
Boost::disable_autolinking - interface target to disable automatic
linking with MSVC (adds BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB)
Boost::dynamic_linking - interface target to enable dynamic linking
linking with MSVC (adds BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK)
Implicit dependencies such as Boost::filesystem requiring Boost::system
will be automatically detected and satisfied, even if system is not
specified when using find_package() and if Boost::system is not added
to target_link_libraries(). If using Boost::thread, then
Threads::Threads will also be added automatically.
It is important to note that the imported targets behave differently
than variables created by this module: multiple calls to find_pack-
age(Boost) in the same directory or sub-directories with different
options (e.g. static or shared) will not override the values of the
targets created by the first call.
Users may set these hints or results as CACHE entries. Projects should
not read these entries directly but instead use the above result vari-
ables. Note that some hint names start in upper-case aBOOSTa. One may
specify these as environment variables if they are not specified as
CMake variables or cache entries.
This module first searches for the Boost header files using the above
hint variables (excluding BOOST_LIBRARYDIR) and saves the result in
Boost_INCLUDE_DIR. Then it searches for requested component libraries
using the above hints (excluding BOOST_INCLUDEDIR and Boost_ADDI-
TIONAL_VERSIONS), aliba directories near Boost_INCLUDE_DIR, and the
library name configuration settings below. It saves the library direc-
tories in Boost_LIBRARY_DIR_DEBUG and Boost_LIBRARY_DIR_RELEASE and
individual library locations in Boost_<C>_LIBRARY_DEBUG and
Boost_<C>_LIBRARY_RELEASE. When one changes settings used by previous
searches in the same build tree (excluding environment variables) this
module discards previous search results affected by the changes and
searches again.
Boost libraries come in many variants encoded in their file name.
Users or projects may tell this module which variant to find by setting
variables:
Boost_USE_DEBUG_LIBS - Set to ON or OFF to specify whether to search
and use the debug libraries. Default is ON.
Boost_USE_RELEASE_LIBS - Set to ON or OFF to specify whether to search
and use the release libraries. Default is ON.
Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED - Set to OFF to use the non-multithreaded
libraries ('mt' tag). Default is ON.
Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS - Set to ON to force the use of the static
libraries. Default is OFF.
Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME - Set to ON or OFF to specify whether to use
libraries linked statically to the C++ runtime
('s' tag). Default is platform dependent.
Boost_USE_DEBUG_RUNTIME - Set to ON or OFF to specify whether to use
libraries linked to the MS debug C++ runtime
('g' tag). Default is ON.
Boost_USE_DEBUG_PYTHON - Set to ON to use libraries compiled with a
debug Python build ('y' tag). Default is OFF.
Boost_USE_STLPORT - Set to ON to use libraries compiled with
STLPort ('p' tag). Default is OFF.
Boost_USE_STLPORT_DEPRECATED_NATIVE_IOSTREAMS
- Set to ON to use libraries compiled with
STLPort deprecated "native iostreams"
('n' tag). Default is OFF.
Boost_COMPILER - Set to the compiler-specific library suffix
(e.g. "-gcc43"). Default is auto-computed
for the C++ compiler in use. A list may be
used if multiple compatible suffixes should
be tested for, in decreasing order of
preference.
Boost_ARCHITECTURE - Set to the architecture-specific library suffix
(e.g. "-x64"). Default is auto-computed for the
C++ compiler in use.
Boost_THREADAPI - Suffix for "thread" component library name,
such as "pthread" or "win32". Names with
and without this suffix will both be tried.
Boost_NAMESPACE - Alternate namespace used to build boost with
e.g. if set to "myboost", will search for
myboost_thread instead of boost_thread.
Other variables one may set to control this module are:
Boost_DEBUG - Set to ON to enable debug output from FindBoost.
Please enable this before filing any bug report.
Boost_REALPATH - Set to ON to resolve symlinks for discovered
libraries to assist with packaging. For example,
the "system" component library may be resolved to
"/usr/lib/libboost_system.so.1.67.0" instead of
"/usr/lib/libboost_system.so". This does not
affect linking and should not be enabled unless
the user needs this information.
Boost_LIBRARY_DIR - Default value for Boost_LIBRARY_DIR_RELEASE and
Boost_LIBRARY_DIR_DEBUG.
On Visual Studio and Borland compilers Boost headers request automatic
linking to corresponding libraries. This requires matching libraries
to be linked explicitly or available in the link library search path.
In this case setting Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS to OFF may not achieve
dynamic linking. Boost automatic linking typically requests static
libraries with a few exceptions (such as Boost.Python). Use:
add_definitions(${Boost_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC_DEFINITIONS})
to ask Boost to report information about automatic linking requests.
Example to find Boost headers only:
find_package(Boost 1.36.0)
if(Boost_FOUND)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(foo foo.cc)
endif()
Example to find Boost libraries and use imported targets:
find_package(Boost 1.56 REQUIRED COMPONENTS
date_time filesystem iostreams)
add_executable(foo foo.cc)
target_link_libraries(foo Boost::date_time Boost::filesystem
Boost::iostreams)
Example to find Boost Python 3.6 libraries and use imported targets:
find_package(Boost 1.67 REQUIRED COMPONENTS
python36 numpy36)
add_executable(foo foo.cc)
target_link_libraries(foo Boost::python36 Boost::numpy36)
Example to find Boost headers and some static (release only) libraries:
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON) # only find static libs
set(Boost_USE_DEBUG_LIBS OFF) # ignore debug libs and
set(Boost_USE_RELEASE_LIBS ON) # only find release libs
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME OFF)
find_package(Boost 1.66.0 COMPONENTS date_time filesystem system ...)
if(Boost_FOUND)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(foo foo.cc)
target_link_libraries(foo ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
endif()
Boost CMake
If Boost was built using the boost-cmake project or from Boost 1.70.0
on it provides a package configuration file for use with find_packageas
config mode. This module looks for the package configuration file
called BoostConfig.cmake or boost-config.cmake and stores the result in
CACHE entry aBoost_DIRa. If found, the package configuration file is
loaded and this module returns with no further action. See documenta-
tion of the Boost CMake package configuration for details on what it
provides.
Set Boost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE to ON, to disable the search for boost-cmake.

FindCUDAToolkit
This script locates the NVIDIA CUDA toolkit and the associated
libraries, but does not require the CUDA language be enabled for a
given project. This module does not search for the NVIDIA CUDA Samples.
Search Behavior
Finding the CUDA Toolkit requires finding the nvcc executable, which is
searched for in the following order:
1. If the CUDA language has been enabled we will use the directory con-
taining the compiler as the first search location for nvcc.
2. If the CUDAToolkit_ROOT cmake configuration variable (e.g., -DCUDA-
Toolkit_ROOT=/some/path) or environment variable is defined, it will
be searched. If both an environment variable and a configuration
variable are specified, the configuration variable takes precedence.
The directory specified here must be such that the executable nvcc
can be found underneath the directory specified by CUDAToolkit_ROOT.
If CUDAToolkit_ROOT is specified, but no nvcc is found underneath,
this package is marked as not found. No subsequent search attempts
are performed.
3. If the CUDA_PATH environment variable is defined, it will be
searched.
4. The useras path is searched for nvcc using find_program(). If this
is found, no subsequent search attempts are performed. Users are
responsible for ensuring that the first nvcc to show up in the path
is the desired path in the event that multiple CUDA Toolkits are
installed.
5. On Unix systems, if the symbolic link /usr/local/cuda exists, this
is used. No subsequent search attempts are performed. No default
symbolic link location exists for the Windows platform.
6. The platform specific default install locations are searched. If
exactly one candidate is found, this is used. The default CUDA
Toolkit install locations searched are:
+-----------+----------------------------+
|Platform | Search Pattern |
+-----------+----------------------------+
|macOS | /Developer/NVIDIA/CUDA-X.Y |
+-----------+----------------------------+
|Other Unix | /usr/local/cuda-X.Y |
+-----------+----------------------------+
|Windows | C:\Program Files\NVIDIA |
| | GPU Computing Tool- |
| | kit\CUDA\vX.Y |
+-----------+----------------------------+
Where X.Y would be a specific version of the CUDA Toolkit, such as
/usr/local/cuda-9.0 or C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Tool-
kit\CUDA\v9.0
NOTE:
When multiple CUDA Toolkits are installed in the default location
of a system (e.g., both /usr/local/cuda-9.0 and
/usr/local/cuda-10.0 exist but the /usr/local/cuda symbolic link
does not exist), this package is marked as not found.
There are too many factors involved in making an automatic deci-
sion in the presence of multiple CUDA Toolkits being installed.
In this situation, users are encouraged to either (1) set CUDA-
Toolkit_ROOT or (2) ensure that the correct nvcc executable shows
up in $PATH for find_program() to find.
Options

If specified, describes the version of the CUDA Toolkit to
search for.
REQUIRED
If specified, configuration will error if a suitable CUDA Tool-
kit is not found.

Only used in the case both Python & Perl
are detected on the system to control
which CxxTest code generator is used.
Valid only for CxxTest version 3.
NOTE: In older versions of this Find Module,
this variable controlled if the Python test
generator was used instead of the Perl one,
regardless of which scripting language the
user had installed.
CXXTEST_TESTGEN_ARGS (since CMake 2.8.3)
Specify a list of options to pass to the CxxTest code
generator. If not defined, --error-printer is
passed.

The full path to the Perl or Python executable on the system, on
platforms where the script cannot be executed using its shebang line.
MACROS for optional use by CMake users:
CXXTEST_ADD_TEST(<test_name> <gen_source_file> <input_files_to_testgen...>)
Creates a CxxTest runner and adds it to the CTest testing suite
Parameters:
test_name The name of the test
gen_source_file The generated source filename to be
generated by CxxTest
input_files_to_testgen The list of header files containing the
CxxTest::TestSuite's to be included in
this runner

enable_testing()
CXXTEST_ADD_TEST(unittest_foo foo_test.cc
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/foo_test.h)
target_link_libraries(unittest_foo foo) # as needed
endif()
This will (if CxxTest is found):
1. Invoke the testgen executable to autogenerate foo_test.cc in the
binary tree from "foo_test.h" in the current source directory.
2. Create an executable and test called unittest_foo.
#=============
Example foo_test.h:
#include <cxxtest/TestSuite.h>
class MyTestSuite : public CxxTest::TestSuite
{
public:
void testAddition( void )
{
TS_ASSERT( 1 + 1 > 1 );
TS_ASSERT_EQUALS( 1 + 1, 2 );
}
};
FindCygwin
Find Cygwin, a POSIX-compatible environment that runs natively on
Microsoft Windows
FindDart
Find DART
This module looks for the dart testing software and sets DART_ROOT to
point to where it found it.
FindDCMTK
Find DICOM ToolKit (DCMTK) libraries and applications
The module defines the following variables:
DCMTK_INCLUDE_DIRS - Directories to include to use DCMTK
DCMTK_LIBRARIES - Files to link against to use DCMTK
DCMTK_FOUND - If false, don't try to use DCMTK
DCMTK_DIR - (optional) Source directory for DCMTK
Compatibility
This module is able to find a version of DCMTK that does or does not
export a DCMTKConfig.cmake file. It applies a two step process:
o Step 1: Attempt to find DCMTK version providing a DCMTKConfig.cmake
file.
o Step 2: If step 1 failed, rely on FindDCMTK.cmake to set DCMTK_*
variables details below.
Recent DCMTK provides a DCMTKConfig.cmake package configuration file.
To exclusively use the package configuration file (recommended when
possible), pass the NO_MODULE option to find_package(). For example,
find_package(DCMTK NO_MODULE). This requires official DCMTK snapshot
3.6.1_20140617 or newer.
Until all clients update to the more recent DCMTK, build systems will
need to support different versions of DCMTK.
On any given system, the following combinations of DCMTK versions could
be considered:
+-------+-----------------+-----------------+-------------+
| | SYSTEM DCMTK | LOCAL DCMTK | Supported ? |
+-------+-----------------+-----------------+-------------+
|Case A | NA | [ ] DCMTKConfig | YES |
+-------+-----------------+-----------------+-------------+
|Case B | NA | [X] DCMTKConfig | YES |
+-------+-----------------+-----------------+-------------+
|Case C | [ ] DCMTKConfig | NA | YES |
+-------+-----------------+-----------------+-------------+
|Case D | [X] DCMTKConfig | NA | YES |
+-------+-----------------+-----------------+-------------+
|Case E | [ ] DCMTKConfig | [ ] DCMTKConfig | YES (*) |
+-------+-----------------+-----------------+-------------+
|Case F | [X] DCMTKConfig | [ ] DCMTKConfig | NO |
+-------+-----------------+-----------------+-------------+
|Case G | [ ] DCMTKConfig | [X] DCMTKConfig | YES |
+-------+-----------------+-----------------+-------------+
|Case H | [X] DCMTKConfig | [X] DCMTKConfig | YES |
+-------+-----------------+-----------------+-------------+
(*) See Troubleshooting section.
Legend:
NA a|a|a|a|a|: Means that no System or Local DCMTK is available
[ ] DCMTKConfig ..: Means that the version of DCMTK does NOT export
a DCMTKConfig.cmake file.
[X] DCMTKConfig ..: Means that the version of DCMTK exports a DCMTK-
Config.cmake file.
Troubleshooting
What to do if my project finds a different version of DCMTK?
Remove DCMTK entry from the CMake cache per find_package() documenta-
tion.
FindDevIL
This module locates the developeras image library.
http://openil.sourceforge.net/
This module sets:
IL_LIBRARIES - the name of the IL library. These include the full path to
the core DevIL library. This one has to be linked into the
application.
ILU_LIBRARIES - the name of the ILU library. Again, the full path. This
library is for filters and effects, not actual loading. It
doesn't have to be linked if the functionality it provides
is not used.
ILUT_LIBRARIES - the name of the ILUT library. Full path. This part of the
library interfaces with OpenGL. It is not strictly needed
in applications.
IL_INCLUDE_DIR - where to find the il.h, ilu.h and ilut.h files.
DevIL_FOUND - this is set to TRUE if all the above variables were set.
This will be set to false if ILU or ILUT are not found,
even if they are not needed. In most systems, if one
library is found all the others are as well. That's the
way the DevIL developers release it.
FindDoxygen
Doxygen is a documentation generation tool (see
http://www.doxygen.org). This module looks for Doxygen and some
optional tools it supports. These tools are enabled as components in
the find_package() command:
dot Graphviz dot utility used to render various graphs.
mscgen Message Chart Generator utility used by Doxygenas \msc and \msc-
file commands.
dia Dia the diagram editor used by Doxygenas \diafile command.
Examples:
# Require dot, treat the other components as optional
find_package(Doxygen
REQUIRED dot
OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS mscgen dia)
The following variables are defined by this module:
DOXYGEN_FOUND
True if the doxygen executable was found.
DOXYGEN_VERSION
The version reported by doxygen --version.
The module defines IMPORTED targets for Doxygen and each component
found. These can be used as part of custom commands, etc. and should
be preferred over old-style (and now deprecated) variables like DOXY-
GEN_EXECUTABLE. The following import targets are defined if their cor-
responding executable could be found (the component import targets will
only be defined if that component was requested):
Doxygen::doxygen
Doxygen::dot
Doxygen::mscgen
Doxygen::dia
Functions
doxygen_add_docs
This function is intended as a convenience for adding a target
for generating documentation with Doxygen. It aims to provide
sensible defaults so that projects can generally just provide
the input files and directories and that will be sufficient to
give sensible results. The function supports the ability to cus-
tomize the Doxygen configuration used to build the documenta-
tion.
doxygen_add_docs(targetName
[filesOrDirs...]
[ALL]
[USE_STAMP_FILE]
[WORKING_DIRECTORY dir]
[COMMENT comment])
The function constructs a Doxyfile and defines a custom target
that runs Doxygen on that generated file. The listed files and
directories are used as the INPUT of the generated Doxyfile and
they can contain wildcards. Any files that are listed explic-
itly will also be added as SOURCES of the custom target so they
will show up in an IDE projectas source list.
So that relative input paths work as expected, by default the
working directory of the Doxygen command will be the current
source directory (i.e. CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR). This can be
overridden with the WORKING_DIRECTORY option to change the
directory used as the relative base point. Note also that Doxy-
genas default behavior is to strip the working directory from
relative paths in the generated documentation (see the
STRIP_FROM_PATH Doxygen config option for details).
If provided, the optional comment will be passed as the COMMENT
for the add_custom_target() command used to create the custom
target internally.
If ALL is set, the target will be added to the default build
target.
If USE_STAMP_FILE is set, the custom command defined by this
function will create a stamp file with the name <target-
Name>.stamp in the current binary directory whenever doxygen is
re-run. With this option present, all items in <filesOrDirs>
must be files (i.e. no directories, symlinks or wildcards) and
each of the files must exist at the time doxygen_add_docs() is
called. An error will be raised if any of the items listed is
missing or is not a file when USE_STAMP_FILE is given. A depen-
dency will be created on each of the files so that doxygen will
only be re-run if one of the files is updated. Without the
USE_STAMP_FILE option, doxygen will always be re-run if the
<targetName> target is built regardless of whether anything
listed in <filesOrDirs> has changed.
The contents of the generated Doxyfile can be customized by set-
ting CMake variables before calling doxygen_add_docs(). Any
variable with a name of the form DOXYGEN_<tag> will have its
value substituted for the corresponding <tag> configuration
option in the Doxyfile. See the Doxygen documentation for the
full list of supported configuration options.
Some of Doxygenas defaults are overridden to provide more appro-
priate behavior for a CMake project. Each of the following will
be explicitly set unless the variable already has a value before
doxygen_add_docs() is called (with some exceptions noted):
DOXYGEN_HAVE_DOT
Set to YES if the dot component was requested and it was
found, NO otherwise. Any existing value of DOXY-
GEN_HAVE_DOT is ignored.
DOXYGEN_DOT_MULTI_TARGETS
Set to YES by this module (note that this requires a dot
version newer than 1.8.10). This option is only meaning-
ful if DOXYGEN_HAVE_DOT is also set to YES.
DOXYGEN_GENERATE_LATEX
Set to NO by this module.
DOXYGEN_WARN_FORMAT
For Visual Studio based generators, this is set to the
form recognized by the Visual Studio IDE: $file($line) :
$text. For all other generators, Doxygenas default value
is not overridden.
DOXYGEN_PROJECT_NAME
Populated with the name of the current project (i.e.
PROJECT_NAME).
DOXYGEN_PROJECT_NUMBER
Populated with the version of the current project (i.e.
PROJECT_VERSION).
DOXYGEN_PROJECT_BRIEF
Populated with the description of the current project
(i.e. PROJECT_DESCRIPTION).
DOXYGEN_INPUT
Projects should not set this variable. It will be popu-
lated with the set of files and directories passed to
doxygen_add_docs(), thereby providing consistent behavior
with the other built-in commands like add_executable(),
add_library() and add_custom_target(). If a variable
named DOXYGEN_INPUT is set by the project, it will be
ignored and a warning will be issued.
DOXYGEN_RECURSIVE
Set to YES by this module.
DOXYGEN_EXCLUDE_PATTERNS
If the set of inputs includes directories, this variable
will specify patterns used to exclude files from them.
The following patterns are added by doxygen_add_docs() to
ensure CMake-specific files and directories are not
included in the input. If the project sets DOXY-
GEN_EXCLUDE_PATTERNS, those contents are merged with
these additional patterns rather than replacing them:
*/.git/*
*/.svn/*
*/.hg/*
*/CMakeFiles/*
*/_CPack_Packages/*
DartConfiguration.tcl
CMakeLists.txt
CMakeCache.txt
DOXYGEN_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
Set to CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR by this module. Note that
if the project provides its own value for this and it is
a relative path, it will be converted to an absolute path
relative to the current binary directory. This is neces-
sary because doxygen will normally be run from a direc-
tory within the source tree so that relative source paths
work as expected. If this directory does not exist, it
will be recursively created prior to executing the doxy-
gen commands.
To change any of these defaults or override any other Doxygen config
option, set relevant variables before calling doxygen_add_docs(). For
example:
set(DOXYGEN_GENERATE_HTML NO)
set(DOXYGEN_GENERATE_MAN YES)
doxygen_add_docs(
doxygen
${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}
COMMENT "Generate man pages"
)
A number of Doxygen config options accept lists of values, but Doxygen
requires them to be separated by whitespace. CMake variables hold lists
as a string with items separated by semi-colons, so a conversion needs
to be performed. The doxygen_add_docs() command specifically checks the
following Doxygen config options and will convert their associated
CMake variableas contents into the required form if set.

There are situations where it may be undesirable for a particular con-
fig option to be automatically quoted by doxygen_add_docs(), such as
ALIASES which may need to include its own embedded quoting. The DOXY-
GEN_VERBATIM_VARS variable can be used to specify a list of Doxygen
variables (including the leading DOXYGEN_ prefix) which should not be
quoted. The project is then responsible for ensuring that those vari-
ablesa values make sense when placed directly in the Doxygen input
file. In the case of list variables, list items are still separated by
spaces, it is only the automatic quoting that is skipped. For example,
the following allows doxygen_add_docs() to apply quoting to DOXY-
GEN_PROJECT_BRIEF, but not each item in the DOXYGEN_ALIASES list
(bracket syntax can also be used to make working with embedded quotes
easier):
set(DOXYGEN_PROJECT_BRIEF "String with spaces")
set(DOXYGEN_ALIASES
[[somealias="@some_command param"]]
"anotherAlias=@foobar"
)
set(DOXYGEN_VERBATIM_VARS DOXYGEN_ALIASES)
The resultant Doxyfile will contain the following lines:
PROJECT_BRIEF = "String with spaces"
ALIASES = somealias="@some_command param" anotherAlias=@foobar
Deprecated Result Variables
For compatibility with previous versions of CMake, the following vari-
ables are also defined but they are deprecated and should no longer be
used:
DOXYGEN_EXECUTABLE
The path to the doxygen command. If projects need to refer to
the doxygen executable directly, they should use the Doxy-
gen::doxygen import target instead.
DOXYGEN_DOT_FOUND
True if the dot executable was found.
DOXYGEN_DOT_EXECUTABLE
The path to the dot command. If projects need to refer to the
dot executable directly, they should use the Doxygen::dot import
target instead.
DOXYGEN_DOT_PATH
The path to the directory containing the dot executable as
reported in DOXYGEN_DOT_EXECUTABLE. The path may have forward
slashes even on Windows and is not suitable for direct substitu-
tion into a Doxyfile.in template. If you need this value, get
the IMPORTED_LOCATION property of the Doxygen::dot target and
use get_filename_component() to extract the directory part of
that path. You may also want to consider using
file(TO_NATIVE_PATH) to prepare the path for a Doxygen configu-
ration file.
Deprecated Hint Variables
DOXYGEN_SKIP_DOT
This variable has no effect for the component form of find_pack-
age. In backward compatibility mode (i.e. without components
list) it prevents the finder module from searching for
Graphvizas dot utility.
FindEnvModules
Locate an environment module implementation and make commands available
to CMake scripts to use them. This is compatible with both Lua-based
Lmod and TCL-based EnvironmentModules.
This module is intended for the use case of setting up the compiler and
library environment within a CTest Script (ctest -S). It can also be
used in a CMake Script (cmake -P).
NOTE:
The loaded environment will not survive past the end of the calling
process. Do not use this module in project code (CMakeLists.txt
files) to load a compiler environment; it will not be available dur-
ing the build. Instead load the environment manually before running
CMake or using the generated build system.
Example Usage
set(CTEST_BUILD_NAME "CrayLinux-CrayPE-Cray-dynamic")
set(CTEST_BUILD_CONFIGURATION Release)
set(CTEST_BUILD_FLAGS "-k -j8")
set(CTEST_CMAKE_GENERATOR "Unix Makefiles")
...
find_package(EnvModules REQUIRED)

env_module(load modules)
env_module(load craype)
env_module(load PrgEnv-cray)
env_module(load craype-knl)
env_module(load cray-mpich)
env_module(load cray-libsci)
set(ENV{CRAYPE_LINK_TYPE} dynamic)
...
Result Variables
This module will set the following variables in your project:
EnvModules_FOUND
True if a compatible environment modules framework was found.
Cache Variables
The following cache variable will be set:
EnvModules_COMMAND
The low level module command to use. Currently supported imple-
mentations are the Lua based Lmod and TCL based EnvironmentMod-
ules.
Environment Variables
ENV{MODULESHOME}
Usually set by the module environment implementation, used as a
hint to locate the module command to execute.
Provided Functions
This defines the following CMake functions for interacting with envi-
ronment modules:
env_module
Execute an aribitrary module command:
env_module(cmd arg1 ... argN)
env_module(
COMMAND cmd arg1 ... argN
[OUTPUT_VARIABLE <out-var>]
[RESULT_VARIABLE <ret-var>]
)
The options are:
cmd arg1 ... argN
The module sub-command and arguments to execute as if
they were passed directly to the module command in your
shell environment.
OUTPUT_VARIABLE <out-var>
The standard output from executing the module command.
RESULT_VARIABLE <ret-var>
The return code from executing the module command.
env_module_swap
Swap one module for another:
env_module_swap(out_mod in_mod
[OUTPUT_VARIABLE <out-var>]
[RESULT_VARIABLE <ret-var>]
)
This is functionally equivalent to the module swap out_mod
in_mod shell command. The options are:
OUTPUT_VARIABLE <out-var>
The standard output from executing the module command.
RESULT_VARIABLE <ret-var>
The return code from executing the module command.
env_module_list
Retrieve the list of currently loaded modules:
env_module_list(<out-var>)
This is functionally equivalent to the module list shell com-
mand. The result is stored in <out-var> as a properly formatted
CMake semicolon-separated list variable.
env_module_avail
Retrieve the list of available modules:
env_module_avail([<mod-prefix>] <out-var>)
This is functionally equivalent to the module avail <mod-prefix>
shell command. The result is stored in <out-var> as a properly
formatted CMake semicolon-separated list variable.
FindEXPAT
Find the native Expat headers and library. Expat is a stream-oriented
XML parser library written in C.
Imported Targets
This module defines the following IMPORTED targets:
EXPAT::EXPAT
The Expat expat library, if found.
Result Variables
This module will set the following variables in your project:
EXPAT_INCLUDE_DIRS
where to find expat.h, etc.
EXPAT_LIBRARIES
the libraries to link against to use Expat.
EXPAT_FOUND
true if the Expat headers and libraries were found.
FindFLEX
Find Fast Lexical Analyzer (Flex) executable and provides a macro to
generate custom build rules
The module defines the following variables:
FLEX_FOUND - True is flex executable is found
FLEX_EXECUTABLE - the path to the flex executable
FLEX_VERSION - the version of flex
FLEX_LIBRARIES - The flex libraries
FLEX_INCLUDE_DIRS - The path to the flex headers
The minimum required version of flex can be specified using the stan-
dard syntax, e.g. find_package(FLEX 2.5.13)
If flex is found on the system, the module provides the macro:
FLEX_TARGET(Name FlexInput FlexOutput
[COMPILE_FLAGS <string>]
[DEFINES_FILE <string>]
)
which creates a custom command to generate the FlexOutput file from the
FlexInput file. If COMPILE_FLAGS option is specified, the next parame-
ter is added to the flex command line. If flex is configured to output
a header file, the DEFINES_FILE option may be used to specify its name.
Name is an alias used to get details of this custom command. Indeed
the macro defines the following variables:
FLEX_${Name}_DEFINED - true is the macro ran successfully
FLEX_${Name}_OUTPUTS - the source file generated by the custom rule, an
alias for FlexOutput
FLEX_${Name}_INPUT - the flex source file, an alias for ${FlexInput}
FLEX_${Name}_OUTPUT_HEADER - the header flex output, if any.
Flex scanners often use tokens defined by Bison: the code generated by
Flex depends of the header generated by Bison. This module also
defines a macro:
ADD_FLEX_BISON_DEPENDENCY(FlexTarget BisonTarget)
which adds the required dependency between a scanner and a parser where
FlexTarget and BisonTarget are the first parameters of respectively
FLEX_TARGET and BISON_TARGET macros.
====================================================================
Example:
find_package(BISON)
find_package(FLEX)
BISON_TARGET(MyParser parser.y ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/parser.cpp)
FLEX_TARGET(MyScanner lexer.l ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/lexer.cpp)
ADD_FLEX_BISON_DEPENDENCY(MyScanner MyParser)
include_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR})
add_executable(Foo
Foo.cc
${BISON_MyParser_OUTPUTS}
${FLEX_MyScanner_OUTPUTS}
)
target_link_libraries(Foo ${FLEX_LIBRARIES})

FindHDF5
Find Hierarchical Data Format (HDF5), a library for reading and writing
self describing array data.
This module invokes the HDF5 wrapper compiler that should be installed
alongside HDF5. Depending upon the HDF5 Configuration, the wrapper
compiler is called either h5cc or h5pcc. If this succeeds, the module
will then call the compiler with the show argument to see what flags
are used when compiling an HDF5 client application.
The module will optionally accept the COMPONENTS argument. If no COM-
PONENTS are specified, then the find module will default to finding
only the HDF5 C library. If one or more COMPONENTS are specified, the
module will attempt to find the language bindings for the specified
components. The only valid components are C, CXX, Fortran, HL, and
Fortran_HL. If the COMPONENTS argument is not given, the module will
attempt to find only the C bindings.
This module will read the variable HDF5_USE_STATIC_LIBRARIES to deter-
mine whether or not to prefer a static link to a dynamic link for HDF5
and all of itas dependencies. To use this feature, make sure that the
HDF5_USE_STATIC_LIBRARIES variable is set before the call to find_pack-
age.
To provide the module with a hint about where to find your HDF5 instal-
lation, you can set the environment variable HDF5_ROOT. The Find mod-
ule will then look in this path when searching for HDF5 executables,
paths, and libraries.
Both the serial and parallel HDF5 wrappers are considered and the first
directory to contain either one will be used. In the event that both
appear in the same directory the serial version is preferentially
selected. This behavior can be reversed by setting the variable
HDF5_PREFER_PARALLEL to True.
In addition to finding the includes and libraries required to compile
an HDF5 client application, this module also makes an effort to find
tools that come with the HDF5 distribution that may be useful for
regression testing.
Result Variables
This module will set the following variables in your project:
HDF5_FOUND

ponent is enabled, then an HDF5_${LANG}_HL_LIBRARIES will also be
defined. With all components enabled, the following variables will be
defined:

unless multiple Ice versions are available and a specific version is
required. On Windows, the most recent version of Ice will be found
through the registry. On Unix, the programs, headers and libraries
will usually be in standard locations, but Ice_SLICE_DIRS might not
be automatically detected (commonly known locations are searched).
All the other variables are defaulted using Ice_HOME, if set. Itas
possible to set Ice_HOME and selectively specify alternative loca-
tions for the other components; this might be required for e.g.
newer versions of Visual Studio if the heuristics are not sufficient
to identify the correct programs and libraries for the specific
Visual Studio version.
Other variables one may set to control this module are:
Ice_DEBUG - Set to ON to enable debug output from FindIce.
FindIcotool
Find icotool
This module looks for icotool. Convert and create Win32 icon and cursor
files. This module defines the following values:

ICOTOOL_FOUND: True if icotool has been found.
ICOTOOL_VERSION_STRING: the version of icotool found.
FindICU
Find the International Components for Unicode (ICU) libraries and pro-
grams.
This module supports multiple components. Components can include any
of: data, i18n, io, le, lx, test, tu and uc.
Note that on Windows data is named dt and i18n is named in; any of the
names may be used, and the appropriate platform-specific library name
will be automatically selected.
This module reports information about the ICU installation in several
variables. General variables:
ICU_VERSION - ICU release version
ICU_FOUND - true if the main programs and libraries were found

The environment variable ICU_ROOT may also be used; the ICU_ROOT vari-
able takes precedence.
The following cache variables may also be set:
ICU_<P>_EXECUTABLE - the path to executable <P>
ICU_INCLUDE_DIR - the directory containing the ICU headers
ICU_<C>_LIBRARY - the library for component <C>

Imported target for using iconv.
The following cache variables may also be set:
Iconv_INCLUDE_DIR
The directory containing the iconv headers.

required. Intl_LIBRARIES will be empty in this case.
NOTE:
If you wish to use the Gettext tools (msgmerge, msgfmt, etc.), use
FindGettext.
FindITK
This module no longer exists.
This module existed in versions of CMake prior to 3.1, but became only
a thin wrapper around find_package(ITK NO_MODULE) to provide compati-
bility for projects using long-outdated conventions. Now find_pack-

FindMatlab
Finds Matlab or Matlab Compiler Runtime (MCR) and provides Matlab
tools, libraries and compilers to CMake.
This package primary purpose is to find the libraries associated with
Matlab or the MCR in order to be able to build Matlab extensions (mex
files). It can also be used:
o to run specific commands in Matlab in case Matlab is available
o for declaring Matlab unit test
o to retrieve various information from Matlab (mex extensions, versions
and release queries, a|)
The module supports the following components:
o ENG_LIBRARY and MAT_LIBRARY: respectively the ENG and MAT libraries
of Matlab
o MAIN_PROGRAM the Matlab binary program. Note that this component is
not available on the MCR version, and will yield an error if the MCR
is found instead of the regular Matlab installation.
o MEX_COMPILER the MEX compiler.
o MCC_COMPILER the MCC compiler, included with the Matlab Compiler
add-on.
o SIMULINK the Simulink environment.
NOTE:
The version given to the find_package() directive is the Matlab ver-
sion, which should not be confused with the Matlab release name (eg.
R2014). The matlab_get_version_from_release_name() and
matlab_get_release_name_from_version() provide a mapping between the
release name and the version.
The variable Matlab_ROOT_DIR may be specified in order to give the path
of the desired Matlab version. Otherwise, the behaviour is platform
specific:
o Windows: The installed versions of Matlab/MCR are retrieved from the
Windows registry
o OS X: The installed versions of Matlab/MCR are given by the MATLAB
default installation paths in /Application. If no such application is
found, it falls back to the one that might be accessible from the
PATH.
o Unix: The desired Matlab should be accessible from the PATH. This
does not work for MCR installation and Matlab_ROOT_DIR should be
specified on this platform.
Additional information is provided when MATLAB_FIND_DEBUG is set. When
a Matlab/MCR installation is found automatically and the MATLAB_VERSION
is not given, the version is queried from Matlab directly (on Windows
this may pop up a Matlab window) or from the MCR installation.
The mapping of the release names and the version of Matlab is performed
by defining pairs (name, version). The variable
MATLAB_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS may be provided before the call to the
find_package() in order to handle additional versions.
A Matlab scripts can be added to the set of tests using the
matlab_add_unit_test(). By default, the Matlab unit test framework will
be used (>= 2013a) to run this script, but regular .m files returning
an exit code can be used as well (0 indicating a success).
Module Input Variables
Users or projects may set the following variables to configure the mod-
ule behaviour:
Matlab_ROOT_DIR

Known issues
Symbol clash in a MEX target
By default, every symbols inside a MEX file defined with the
command matlab_add_mex() have hidden visibility, except for the
entry point. This is the default behaviour of the MEX compiler,
which lowers the risk of symbol collision between the libraries
shipped with Matlab, and the libraries to which the MEX file is
linking to. This is also the default on Windows platforms.
However, this is not sufficient in certain case, where for
instance your MEX file is linking against libraries that are
already loaded by Matlab, even if those libraries have different
SONAMES. A possible solution is to hide the symbols of the
libraries to which the MEX target is linking to. This can be
achieved in GNU GCC compilers with the linker option
-Wl,--exclude-libs,ALL.
Tests using GPU resources
in case your MEX file is using the GPU and in order to be able
to run unit tests on this MEX file, the GPU resources should be
properly released by Matlab. A possible solution is to make Mat-
lab aware of the use of the GPU resources in the session, which
can be performed by a command such as D = gpuDevice() at the
beginning of the test script (or via a fixture).
Reference
Matlab_ROOT_DIR
The root folder of the Matlab installation. If set before the
call to find_package(), the module will look for the components
in that path. If not set, then an automatic search of Matlab
will be performed. If set, it should point to a valid version of
Matlab.
MATLAB_FIND_DEBUG
If set, the lookup of Matlab and the intermediate configuration
steps are outputted to the console.
MATLAB_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS
If set, specifies additional versions of Matlab that may be
looked for. The variable should be a list of strings, organised
by pairs of release name and versions, such as follows:
set(MATLAB_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS
"release_name1=corresponding_version1"
"release_name2=corresponding_version2"
...
)
Example:
set(MATLAB_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS
"R2013b=8.2"
"R2013a=8.1"
"R2012b=8.0")
The order of entries in this list matters when several versions
of Matlab are installed. The priority is set according to the
ordering in this list.
matlab_get_version_from_release_name
Returns the version of Matlab (17.58) from a release name
(R2017k)
matlab_get_release_name_from_version
Returns the release name (R2017k) from the version of Matlab
(17.58)
matlab_extract_all_installed_versions_from_registry
This function parses the registry and founds the Matlab versions
that are installed. The found versions are returned in mat-
lab_versions. Set win64 to TRUE if the 64 bit version of Matlab
should be looked for The returned list contains all versions
under HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Mathworks\\MATLAB and HKLM\\SOFT-
WARE\\Mathworks\\MATLAB Runtime or an empty list in case an
error occurred (or nothing found).
NOTE:
Only the versions are provided. No check is made over the
existence of the installation referenced in the registry,
matlab_get_all_valid_matlab_roots_from_registry
Populates the Matlab root with valid versions of Matlab or Mat-
lab Runtime (MCR). The returned matlab_roots is organized in
triplets (type,version_number,matlab_root_path), where type
indicates either MATLAB or MCR.
matlab_get_all_valid_matlab_roots_from_registry(
matlab_versions
matlab_roots)
matlab_versions
the versions of each of the Matlab or MCR installations
matlab_roots
the location of each of the Matlab or MCR installations
matlab_get_mex_suffix
Returns the extension of the mex files (the suffixes). This
function should not be called before the appropriate Matlab root
has been found.
matlab_get_mex_suffix(
matlab_root
mex_suffix)
matlab_root
the root of the Matlab/MCR installation
mex_suffix
the variable name in which the suffix will be returned.
matlab_get_version_from_matlab_run
This function runs Matlab program specified on arguments and
extracts its version. If the path provided for the Matlab
installation points to an MCR installation, the version is
extracted from the installed files.
matlab_get_version_from_matlab_run(
matlab_binary_path
matlab_list_versions)
matlab_binary_path
the location of the matlab binary executable
matlab_list_versions
the version extracted from Matlab
matlab_add_unit_test
Adds a Matlab unit test to the test set of cmake/ctest. This
command requires the component MAIN_PROGRAM and hence is not
available for an MCR installation.
The unit test uses the Matlab unittest framework (default,
available starting Matlab 2013b+) except if the option
NO_UNITTEST_FRAMEWORK is given.
The function expects one Matlab test script file to be given.
In the case NO_UNITTEST_FRAMEWORK is given, the unittest script
file should contain the script to be run, plus an exit command
with the exit value. This exit value will be passed to the ctest
framework (0 success, non 0 failure). Additional arguments
accepted by add_test() can be passed through TEST_ARGS (eg. CON-
FIGURATION <config> ...).
matlab_add_unit_test(
NAME <name>
UNITTEST_FILE matlab_file_containing_unittest.m
[CUSTOM_TEST_COMMAND matlab_command_to_run_as_test]
[UNITTEST_PRECOMMAND matlab_command_to_run]
[TIMEOUT timeout]
[ADDITIONAL_PATH path1 [path2 ...]]
[MATLAB_ADDITIONAL_STARTUP_OPTIONS option1 [option2 ...]]
[TEST_ARGS arg1 [arg2 ...]]
[NO_UNITTEST_FRAMEWORK]
)
The function arguments are:
NAME name of the unittest in ctest.
UNITTEST_FILE
the matlab unittest file. Its path will be automatically
added to the Matlab path.
CUSTOM_TEST_COMMAND
Matlab script command to run as the test. If this is not
set, then the following is run: runtests('mat-
lab_file_name'), exit(max([ans(1,:).Failed])) where mat-
lab_file_name is the UNITTEST_FILE without the extension.
UNITTEST_PRECOMMAND
Matlab script command to be ran before the file contain-
ing the test (eg. GPU device initialisation based on
CMake variables).
TIMEOUT
the test timeout in seconds. Defaults to 180 seconds as
the Matlab unit test may hang.
ADDITIONAL_PATH
a list of paths to add to the Matlab path prior to run-
ning the unit test.
MATLAB_ADDITIONAL_STARTUP_OPTIONS
a list of additional option in order to run Matlab from
the command line. -nosplash -nodesktop -nodisplay are
always added.
TEST_ARGS
Additional options provided to the add_test command.
These options are added to the default options (eg. aCON-
FIGURATIONS Releasea)
NO_UNITTEST_FRAMEWORK
when set, indicates that the test should not use the
unittest framework of Matlab (available for versions >=
R2013a).
WORKING_DIRECTORY
This will be the working directory for the test. If spec-
ified it will also be the output directory used for the
log file of the test run. If not specified the temporary
directory ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/Matlab will be used as the
working directory and the log location.
matlab_add_mex
Adds a Matlab MEX target. This commands compiles the given
sources with the current tool-chain in order to produce a MEX
file. The final name of the produced output may be specified, as
well as additional link libraries, and a documentation entry for
the MEX file. Remaining arguments of the call are passed to the
add_library() or add_executable() command.
matlab_add_mex(
NAME <name>
[EXECUTABLE | MODULE | SHARED]
SRC src1 [src2 ...]
[OUTPUT_NAME output_name]
[DOCUMENTATION file.txt]
[LINK_TO target1 target2 ...]
[R2017b | R2018a]
[EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL]
[...]
)
NAME name of the target.
SRC list of source files.
LINK_TO
a list of additional link dependencies. The target links
to libmex and libmx by default.
OUTPUT_NAME
if given, overrides the default name. The default name is
the name of the target without any prefix and with Mat-
lab_MEX_EXTENSION suffix.
DOCUMENTATION
if given, the file file.txt will be considered as being
the documentation file for the MEX file. This file is
copied into the same folder without any processing, with
the same name as the final mex file, and with extension
.m. In that case, typing help <name> in Matlab prints the
documentation contained in this file.
R2017b or R2018a may be given to specify the version of the C
API
to use: R2017b specifies the traditional (separate com-
plex) C API, and corresponds to the -R2017b flag for the
mex command. R2018a specifies the new interleaved complex
C API, and corresponds to the -R2018a flag for the mex
command. Ignored if MATLAB version prior to R2018a.
Defaults to R2017b.
MODULE or SHARED may be given to specify the type of library to
be
created. EXECUTABLE may be given to create an executable
instead of a library. If no type is given explicitly, the
type is SHARED.
EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL
This option has the same meaning as for EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL
and is forwarded to add_library() or add_executable()
commands.
The documentation file is not processed and should be in the
following format:
% This is the documentation
function ret = mex_target_output_name(input1)

FindMPI
Find a Message Passing Interface (MPI) implementation.
The Message Passing Interface (MPI) is a library used to write
high-performance distributed-memory parallel applications, and is typi-
cally deployed on a cluster. MPI is a standard interface (defined by
the MPI forum) for which many implementations are available.
Variables for using MPI
The module exposes the components C, CXX, MPICXX and Fortran. Each of
these controls the various MPI languages to search for. The difference
between CXX and MPICXX is that CXX refers to the MPI C API being usable
from C++, whereas MPICXX refers to the MPI-2 C++ API that was removed
again in MPI-3.
Depending on the enabled components the following variables will be
set:
MPI_FOUND
Variable indicating that MPI settings for all requested lan-
guages have been found. If no components are specified, this is
true if MPI settings for all enabled languages were detected.
Note that the MPICXX component does not affect this variable.
MPI_VERSION
Minimal version of MPI detected among the requested languages,
or all enabled languages if no components were specified.
This module will set the following variables per language in your
project, where <lang> is one of C, CXX, or Fortran:
MPI_<lang>_FOUND
Variable indicating the MPI settings for <lang> were found and
that simple MPI test programs compile with the provided set-
tings.
MPI_<lang>_COMPILER
MPI compiler for <lang> if such a program exists.
MPI_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS
Compilation options for MPI programs in <lang>, given as a
;-list.
MPI_<lang>_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS
Compilation definitions for MPI programs in <lang>, given as a
;-list.
MPI_<lang>_INCLUDE_DIRS
Include path(s) for MPI header.
MPI_<lang>_LINK_FLAGS
Linker flags for MPI programs.
MPI_<lang>_LIBRARIES
All libraries to link MPI programs against.
Additionally, the following IMPORTED targets are defined:
MPI::MPI_<lang>
Target for using MPI from <lang>.
The following variables indicating which bindings are present will be
defined:
MPI_MPICXX_FOUND
Variable indicating whether the MPI-2 C++ bindings are present
(introduced in MPI-2, removed with MPI-3).
MPI_Fortran_HAVE_F77_HEADER
True if the Fortran 77 header mpif.h is available.
MPI_Fortran_HAVE_F90_MODULE
True if the Fortran 90 module mpi can be used for accessing MPI
(MPI-2 and higher only).
MPI_Fortran_HAVE_F08_MODULE
True if the Fortran 2008 mpi_f08 is available to MPI programs
(MPI-3 and higher only).
If possible, the MPI version will be determined by this module. The
facilities to detect the MPI version were introduced with MPI-1.2, and
therefore cannot be found for older MPI versions.
MPI_<lang>_VERSION_MAJOR
Major version of MPI implemented for <lang> by the MPI distribu-
tion.
MPI_<lang>_VERSION_MINOR
Minor version of MPI implemented for <lang> by the MPI distribu-
tion.
MPI_<lang>_VERSION
MPI version implemented for <lang> by the MPI distribution.
Note that thereas no variable for the C bindings being accessible
through mpi.h, since the MPI standards always have required this bind-
ing to work in both C and C++ code.
For running MPI programs, the module sets the following variables
MPIEXEC_EXECUTABLE
Executable for running MPI programs, if such exists.
MPIEXEC_NUMPROC_FLAG
Flag to pass to mpiexec before giving it the number of proces-
sors to run on.
MPIEXEC_MAX_NUMPROCS
Number of MPI processors to utilize. Defaults to the number of
processors detected on the host system.
MPIEXEC_PREFLAGS
Flags to pass to mpiexec directly before the executable to run.
MPIEXEC_POSTFLAGS
Flags to pass to mpiexec after other flags.
Variables for locating MPI
This module performs a four step search for an MPI implementation:
1. Search for MPIEXEC_EXECUTABLE and, if found, use its base directory.
2. Check if the compiler has MPI support built-in. This is the case if
the user passed a compiler wrapper as CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER or if
theyare on a Cray system.
3. Attempt to find an MPI compiler wrapper and determine the compiler
information from it.
4. Try to find an MPI implementation that does not ship such a wrapper
by guessing settings. Currently, only Microsoft MPI and MPICH2 on
Windows are supported.
For controlling the MPIEXEC_EXECUTABLE step, the following variables
may be set:
MPIEXEC_EXECUTABLE
Manually specify the location of mpiexec.
MPI_HOME
Specify the base directory of the MPI installation.
ENV{MPI_HOME}
Environment variable to specify the base directory of the MPI
installation.
ENV{I_MPI_ROOT}
Environment variable to specify the base directory of the MPI
installation.
For controlling the compiler wrapper step, the following variables may
be set:
MPI_<lang>_COMPILER
Search for the specified compiler wrapper and use it.
MPI_<lang>_COMPILER_FLAGS
Flags to pass to the MPI compiler wrapper during interrogation.
Some compiler wrappers support linking debug or tracing
libraries if a specific flag is passed and this variable may be
used to obtain them.
MPI_COMPILER_FLAGS
Used to initialize MPI_<lang>_COMPILER_FLAGS if no language spe-
cific flag has been given. Empty by default.
MPI_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX
A suffix which is appended to all names that are being looked
for. For instance you may set this to .mpich or .openmpi to pre-
fer the one or the other on Debian and its derivatives.
In order to control the guessing step, the following variable may be
set:
MPI_GUESS_LIBRARY_NAME
Valid values are MSMPI and MPICH2. If set, only the given
library will be searched for. By default, MSMPI will be pre-
ferred over MPICH2 if both are available. This also sets
MPI_SKIP_COMPILER_WRAPPER to true, which may be overridden.
Each of the search steps may be skipped with the following control
variables:
MPI_ASSUME_NO_BUILTIN_MPI
If true, the module assumes that the compiler itself does not
provide an MPI implementation and skips to step 2.
MPI_SKIP_COMPILER_WRAPPER
If true, no compiler wrapper will be searched for.
MPI_SKIP_GUESSING
If true, the guessing step will be skipped.
Additionally, the following control variable is available to change
search behavior:
MPI_CXX_SKIP_MPICXX
Add some definitions that will disable the MPI-2 C++ bindings.
Currently supported are MPICH, Open MPI, Platform MPI and deriv-
atives thereof, for example MVAPICH or Intel MPI.
If the find procedure fails for a variable MPI_<lang>_WORKS, then the
settings detected by or passed to the module did not work and even a
simple MPI test program failed to compile.
If all of these parameters were not sufficient to find the right MPI
implementation, a user may disable the entire autodetection process by
specifying both a list of libraries in MPI_<lang>_LIBRARIES and a list
of include directories in MPI_<lang>_ADDITIONAL_INCLUDE_DIRS. Any
other variable may be set in addition to these two. The module will
then validate the MPI settings and store the settings in the cache.
Cache variables for MPI
The variable MPI_<lang>_INCLUDE_DIRS will be assembled from the follow-
ing variables. For C and CXX:
MPI_<lang>_HEADER_DIR
Location of the mpi.h header on disk.
For Fortran:
MPI_Fortran_F77_HEADER_DIR
Location of the Fortran 77 header mpif.h, if it exists.
MPI_Fortran_MODULE_DIR
Location of the mpi or mpi_f08 modules, if available.
For all languages the following variables are additionally considered:
MPI_<lang>_ADDITIONAL_INCLUDE_DIRS
A ;-list of paths needed in addition to the normal include
directories.
MPI_<include_name>_INCLUDE_DIR
Path variables for include folders referred to by
<include_name>.
MPI_<lang>_ADDITIONAL_INCLUDE_VARS
A ;-list of <include_name> that will be added to the include
locations of <lang>.
The variable MPI_<lang>_LIBRARIES will be assembled from the following
variables:
MPI_<lib_name>_LIBRARY
The location of a library called <lib_name> for use with MPI.
MPI_<lang>_LIB_NAMES
A ;-list of <lib_name> that will be added to the include loca-
tions of <lang>.
Usage of mpiexec
When using MPIEXEC_EXECUTABLE to execute MPI applications, you should
typically use all of the MPIEXEC_EXECUTABLE flags as follows:
${MPIEXEC_EXECUTABLE} ${MPIEXEC_NUMPROC_FLAG} ${MPIEXEC_MAX_NUMPROCS}
${MPIEXEC_PREFLAGS} EXECUTABLE ${MPIEXEC_POSTFLAGS} ARGS
where EXECUTABLE is the MPI program, and ARGS are the arguments to pass
to the MPI program.
Advanced variables for using MPI
The module can perform some advanced feature detections upon explicit
request.
Important notice: The following checks cannot be performed without exe-
cuting an MPI test program. Consider the special considerations for
the behavior of try_run() during cross compilation. Moreover, running
an MPI program can cause additional issues, like a firewall notifica-
tion on some systems. You should only enable these detections if you
absolutely need the information.
If the following variables are set to true, the respective search will
be performed:
MPI_DETERMINE_Fortran_CAPABILITIES
Determine for all available Fortran bindings what the values of
MPI_SUBARRAYS_SUPPORTED and MPI_ASYNC_PROTECTS_NONBLOCKING are
and make their values available as MPI_Fortran_<binding>_SUBAR-
RAYS and MPI_Fortran_<binding>_ASYNCPROT, where <binding> is one
of F77_HEADER, F90_MODULE and F08_MODULE.
MPI_DETERMINE_LIBRARY_VERSION
For each language, find the output of MPI_Get_library_version
and make it available as MPI_<lang>_LIBRARY_VERSION_STRING.
This information is usually tied to the runtime component of an
MPI implementation and might differ depending on <lang>. Note
that the return value is entirely implementation defined. This
information might be used to identify the MPI vendor and for
example pick the correct one of multiple third party binaries
that matches the MPI vendor.
Backward Compatibility
For backward compatibility with older versions of FindMPI, these vari-
ables are set, but deprecated:
MPI_COMPILER MPI_LIBRARY MPI_EXTRA_LIBRARY
MPI_COMPILE_FLAGS MPI_INCLUDE_PATH MPI_LINK_FLAGS
MPI_LIBRARIES
In new projects, please use the MPI_<lang>_XXX equivalents. Addition-
ally, the following variables are deprecated:
MPI_<lang>_COMPILE_FLAGS
Use MPI_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS and MPI_<lang>_COMPILE_DEFINI-
TIONS instead.
MPI_<lang>_INCLUDE_PATH
For consumption use MPI_<lang>_INCLUDE_DIRS and for specifying
folders use MPI_<lang>_ADDITIONAL_INCLUDE_DIRS instead.
MPIEXEC
Use MPIEXEC_EXECUTABLE instead.
FindODBC
Find an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) include directory and
library.
On Windows, when building with Visual Studio, this module assumes the
ODBC library is provided by the available Windows SDK.
On Unix, this module allows to search for ODBC library provided by
unixODBC or iODBC implementations of ODBC API. This module reads hint
about location of the config program:
ODBC_CONFIG
Location of odbc_config or iodbc-config program
Otherwise, this module tries to find the config program, first from
unixODBC, then from iODBC. If no config program found, this module
searches for ODBC header and library in list of known locations.
Imported targets
This module defines the following IMPORTED targets:
ODBC::ODBC
Imported target for using the ODBC library, if found.
Result variables
ODBC_FOUND
Set to true if ODBC library found, otherwise false or undefined.
ODBC_INCLUDE_DIRS
Paths to include directories listed in one variable for use by
ODBC client. May be empty on Windows, where the include direc-
tory corresponding to the expected Windows SDK is already avail-
able in the compilation environment.
ODBC_LIBRARIES
Paths to libraries to linked against to use ODBC. May just a
library name on Windows, where the library directory correspond-
ing to the expected Windows SDK is already available in the com-
pilation environment.
ODBC_CONFIG
Path to unixODBC or iODBC config program, if found or specified.
Cache variables
For users who wish to edit and control the module behavior, this module
reads hints about search locations from the following variables:
ODBC_INCLUDE_DIR
Path to ODBC include directory with sql.h header.
ODBC_LIBRARY
Path to ODBC library to be linked.
These variables should not be used directly by project code.
Limitations
On Windows, this module does not search for iODBC. On Unix, there is
no way to prefer unixODBC over iODBC, or vice versa, other than provid-
ing the config program location using the ODBC_CONFIG. This module
does not allow to search for a specific ODBC driver.
FindOpenACC
Detect OpenACC support by the compiler.
This module can be used to detect OpenACC support in a compiler. If
the compiler supports OpenACC, the flags required to compile with Ope-
nACC support are returned in variables for the different languages.
Currently, only PGI, GNU and Cray compilers are supported.
Variables
This module will set the following variables per language in your
project, where <lang> is one of C, CXX, or Fortran:
OpenACC_<lang>_FOUND
Variable indicating if OpenACC support for <lang> was detected.
OpenACC_<lang>_FLAGS
OpenACC compiler flags for <lang>, separated by spaces.
OpenACC_<lang>_OPTIONS
OpenACC compiler flags for <lang>, as a list. Suitable for usage
with target_compile_options or target_link_options.
Additionally, the module provides IMPORTED targets:
OpenACC::OpenACC_<lang>
Target for using OpenACC from <lang>.
The module will also try to provide the OpenACC version variables:
OpenACC_<lang>_SPEC_DATE
Date of the OpenACC specification implemented by the <lang> com-
piler.
OpenACC_<lang>_VERSION_MAJOR
Major version of OpenACC implemented by the <lang> compiler.
OpenACC_<lang>_VERSION_MINOR
Minor version of OpenACC implemented by the <lang> compiler.
OpenACC_<lang>_VERSION

The specification date is formatted as given in the OpenACC standard:
yyyymm where yyyy and mm represents the year and month of the OpenACC
specification implemented by the <lang> compiler.
Input Variables
OpenACC_ACCEL_TARGET=<target> If set, will the correct target accelera-
tor flag set to the <target> will be returned with Ope-
nACC_<lang>_FLAGS.
FindOpenAL
Finds Open Audio Library (OpenAL). This module defines OPENAL_LIBRARY
OPENAL_FOUND, if false, do not try to link to OpenAL OPE-
NAL_INCLUDE_DIR, where to find the headers.
$OPENALDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the
./configure --prefix=$OPENALDIR used in building OpenAL.
Created by Eric Wing. This was influenced by the FindSDL.cmake module.
FindOpenCL
Finds Open Computing Language (OpenCL)
IMPORTED Targets
This module defines IMPORTED target OpenCL::OpenCL, if OpenCL has been
found.
Result Variables
This module defines the following variables:
OpenCL_FOUND - True if OpenCL was found
OpenCL_INCLUDE_DIRS - include directories for OpenCL
OpenCL_LIBRARIES - link against this library to use OpenCL
OpenCL_VERSION_STRING - Highest supported OpenCL version (eg. 1.2)
OpenCL_VERSION_MAJOR - The major version of the OpenCL implementation
OpenCL_VERSION_MINOR - The minor version of the OpenCL implementation
The module will also define two cache variables:
OpenCL_INCLUDE_DIR - the OpenCL include directory
OpenCL_LIBRARY - the path to the OpenCL library
FindOpenGL
FindModule for OpenGL and OpenGL Utility Library (GLU).
Optional COMPONENTS
This module respects several optional COMPONENTS: EGL, GLX, and OpenGL.
There are corresponding import targets for each of these flags.
IMPORTED Targets
This module defines the IMPORTED targets:
OpenGL::GL
Defined to the platform-specific OpenGL libraries if the system
has OpenGL.
OpenGL::OpenGL
Defined to libOpenGL if the system is GLVND-based.
OpenGL::GLU
Defined if the system has OpenGL Utility Library (GLU).
OpenGL::GLX
Defined if the system has OpenGL Extension to the X Window Sys-
tem (GLX).
OpenGL::EGL
Defined if the system has EGL.
Result Variables
This module sets the following variables:
OPENGL_FOUND
True, if the system has OpenGL and all components are found.
OPENGL_XMESA_FOUND
True, if the system has XMESA.
OPENGL_GLU_FOUND
True, if the system has GLU.
OpenGL_OpenGL_FOUND
True, if the system has an OpenGL library.
OpenGL_GLX_FOUND
True, if the system has GLX.
OpenGL_EGL_FOUND
True, if the system has EGL.
OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR
Path to the OpenGL include directory.
OPENGL_EGL_INCLUDE_DIRS
Path to the EGL include directory.
OPENGL_LIBRARIES
Paths to the OpenGL library, windowing system libraries, and GLU
libraries. On Linux, this assumes GLX and is never correct for
EGL-based targets. Clients are encouraged to use the OpenGL::*
import targets instead.
Cache variables
The following cache variables may also be set:
OPENGL_egl_LIBRARY
Path to the EGL library.
OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY
Path to the GLU library.
OPENGL_glx_LIBRARY
Path to the GLVND aGLXa library.
OPENGL_opengl_LIBRARY
Path to the GLVND aOpenGLa library
OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY
Path to the OpenGL library. New code should prefer the
OpenGL::* import targets.
Linux-specific
Some Linux systems utilize GLVND as a new ABI for OpenGL. GLVND sepa-
rates context libraries from OpenGL itself; OpenGL lives in
alibOpenGLa, and contexts are defined in alibGLXa or alibEGLa. GLVND
is currently the only way to get OpenGL 3+ functionality via EGL in a
manner portable across vendors. Projects may use GLVND explicitly with
target OpenGL::OpenGL and either OpenGL::GLX or OpenGL::EGL.
Projects may use the OpenGL::GL target (or OPENGL_LIBRARIES variable)
to use legacy GL interfaces. These will use the legacy GL library
located by OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY, if available. If OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY is
empty or not found and GLVND is available, the OpenGL::GL target will
use GLVND OpenGL::OpenGL and OpenGL::GLX (and the OPENGL_LIBRARIES
variable will use the corresponding libraries). Thus, for
non-EGL-based Linux targets, the OpenGL::GL target is most portable.
A OpenGL_GL_PREFERENCE variable may be set to specify the preferred way
to provide legacy GL interfaces in case multiple choices are available.
The value may be one of:
GLVND If the GLVND OpenGL and GLX libraries are available, prefer
them. This forces OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY to be empty. This is the
default if components were requested (since components corre-
spond to GLVND libraries) or if policy CMP0072 is set to NEW.
LEGACY Prefer to use the legacy libGL library, if available. This is
the default if no components were requested and policy CMP0072
is not set to NEW.
For EGL targets the client must rely on GLVND support on the useras
system. Linking should use the OpenGL::OpenGL OpenGL::EGL targets.
Using GLES* libraries is theoretically possible in place of
OpenGL::OpenGL, but this module does not currently support that; con-
tributions welcome.
OPENGL_egl_LIBRARY and OPENGL_EGL_INCLUDE_DIRS are defined in the case
of GLVND. For non-GLVND Linux and other systems these are left unde-
fined.
macOS-Specific
On OSX FindOpenGL defaults to using the framework version of OpenGL.
People will have to change the cache values of OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY and
OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY to use OpenGL with X11 on OSX.
FindOpenMP
Finds Open Multi-Processing (OpenMP) support.
This module can be used to detect OpenMP support in a compiler. If the
compiler supports OpenMP, the flags required to compile with OpenMP
support are returned in variables for the different languages. The
variables may be empty if the compiler does not need a special flag to
support OpenMP.
Variables
The module exposes the components C, CXX, and Fortran. Each of these
controls the various languages to search OpenMP support for.
Depending on the enabled components the following variables will be
set:
OpenMP_FOUND
Variable indicating that OpenMP flags for all requested lan-
guages have been found. If no components are specified, this is
true if OpenMP settings for all enabled languages were detected.
OpenMP_VERSION
Minimal version of the OpenMP standard detected among the
requested languages, or all enabled languages if no components
were specified.
This module will set the following variables per language in your
project, where <lang> is one of C, CXX, or Fortran:
OpenMP_<lang>_FOUND
Variable indicating if OpenMP support for <lang> was detected.
OpenMP_<lang>_FLAGS
OpenMP compiler flags for <lang>, separated by spaces.
OpenMP_<lang>_INCLUDE_DIRS
Directories that must be added to the header search path for
<lang> when using OpenMP.
For linking with OpenMP code written in <lang>, the following variables
are provided:
OpenMP_<lang>_LIB_NAMES
;-list of libraries for OpenMP programs for <lang>.
OpenMP_<libname>_LIBRARY
Location of the individual libraries needed for OpenMP support
in <lang>.
OpenMP_<lang>_LIBRARIES
A list of libraries needed to link with OpenMP code written in
<lang>.
Additionally, the module provides IMPORTED targets:
OpenMP::OpenMP_<lang>
Target for using OpenMP from <lang>.
Specifically for Fortran, the module sets the following variables:
OpenMP_Fortran_HAVE_OMPLIB_HEADER
Boolean indicating if OpenMP is accessible through omp_lib.h.
OpenMP_Fortran_HAVE_OMPLIB_MODULE
Boolean indicating if OpenMP is accessible through the omp_lib
Fortran module.
The module will also try to provide the OpenMP version variables:
OpenMP_<lang>_SPEC_DATE
Date of the OpenMP specification implemented by the <lang> com-
piler.
OpenMP_<lang>_VERSION_MAJOR
Major version of OpenMP implemented by the <lang> compiler.
OpenMP_<lang>_VERSION_MINOR
Minor version of OpenMP implemented by the <lang> compiler.
OpenMP_<lang>_VERSION
OpenMP version implemented by the <lang> compiler.
The specification date is formatted as given in the OpenMP standard:
yyyymm where yyyy and mm represents the year and month of the OpenMP
specification implemented by the <lang> compiler.
For some compilers, it may be necessary to add a header search path to
find the relevant OpenMP headers. This location may be language-spe-
cific. Where this is needed, the module may attempt to find the loca-
tion, but it can be provided directly by setting the
OpenMP_<lang>_INCLUDE_DIR cache variable. Note that this variable is
an _input_ control to the module. Project code should use the
OpenMP_<lang>_INCLUDE_DIRS _output_ variable if it needs to know what
include directories are needed.
FindOpenSceneGraph
Find OpenSceneGraph (3D graphics application programming interface)
This module searches for the OpenSceneGraph core aosga library as well
as FindOpenThreads, and whatever additional COMPONENTS (nodekits) that
you specify.
See http://www.openscenegraph.org
NOTE: To use this module effectively you must either require CMake >=
2.6.3 with cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6.3) or download and place
FindOpenThreads, Findosg functions, Findosg and Find<etc>.cmake files
into your CMAKE_MODULE_PATH.
----
This module accepts the following variables (note mixed case)
OpenSceneGraph_DEBUG - Enable debugging output
OpenSceneGraph_MARK_AS_ADVANCED - Mark cache variables as advanced
automatically
The following environment variables are also respected for finding the
OSG and itas various components. CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH can also be used
for this (see find_library() CMake documentation).
<MODULE>_DIR
(where MODULE is of the form aOSGVOLUMEa and there is a Findos-
gVolume.cmake` file)
OSG_DIR
OSGDIR
OSG_ROOT
[CMake 2.8.10]: The CMake variable OSG_DIR can now be used as well to
influence detection, instead of needing to specify an environment vari-
able.
This module defines the following output variables:
OPENSCENEGRAPH_FOUND - Was the OSG and all of the specified components found?
OPENSCENEGRAPH_VERSION - The version of the OSG which was found
OPENSCENEGRAPH_INCLUDE_DIRS - Where to find the headers
OPENSCENEGRAPH_LIBRARIES - The OSG libraries
================================== Example Usage:
find_package(OpenSceneGraph 2.0.0 REQUIRED osgDB osgUtil)
# libOpenThreads & libosg automatically searched
include_directories(${OPENSCENEGRAPH_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(foo foo.cc)
target_link_libraries(foo ${OPENSCENEGRAPH_LIBRARIES})
FindOpenSSL
Find the OpenSSL encryption library.
Optional COMPONENTS
This module supports two optional COMPONENTS: Crypto and SSL. Both
components have associated imported targets, as described below.
Imported Targets
This module defines the following IMPORTED targets:
OpenSSL::SSL
The OpenSSL ssl library, if found.
OpenSSL::Crypto
The OpenSSL crypto library, if found.
Result Variables
This module will set the following variables in your project:
OPENSSL_FOUND
System has the OpenSSL library. If no components are requested
it only requires the crypto library.
OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR
The OpenSSL include directory.
OPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY
The OpenSSL crypto library.
OPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARIES
The OpenSSL crypto library and its dependencies.
OPENSSL_SSL_LIBRARY
The OpenSSL SSL library.
OPENSSL_SSL_LIBRARIES
The OpenSSL SSL library and its dependencies.
OPENSSL_LIBRARIES
All OpenSSL libraries and their dependencies.
OPENSSL_VERSION
This is set to $major.$minor.$revision$patch (e.g. 0.9.8s).
Hints
Set OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR to the root directory of an OpenSSL installation.
Set OPENSSL_USE_STATIC_LIBS to TRUE to look for static libraries. Set
OPENSSL_MSVC_STATIC_RT set TRUE to choose the MT version of the lib.
FindOpenThreads
OpenThreads is a C++ based threading library. Its largest userbase
seems to OpenSceneGraph so you might notice I accept OSGDIR as an envi-
ronment path. I consider this part of the Findosg* suite used to find
OpenSceneGraph components. Each component is separate and you must opt
in to each module.
Locate OpenThreads This module defines OPENTHREADS_LIBRARY
OPENTHREADS_FOUND, if false, do not try to link to OpenThreads
OPENTHREADS_INCLUDE_DIR, where to find the headers
$OPENTHREADS_DIR is an environment variable that would correspond to
the ./configure aprefix=$OPENTHREADS_DIR used in building osg.
[CMake 2.8.10]: The CMake variables OPENTHREADS_DIR or OSG_DIR can now
be used as well to influence detection, instead of needing to specify
an environment variable.

if(Patch_FOUND)
message("Patch found: ${Patch_EXECUTABLE}")
endif()
FindPerlLibs
Find Perl libraries
This module finds if PERL is installed and determines where the include
files and libraries are. It also determines what the name of the
library is. This code sets the following variables:
PERLLIBS_FOUND = True if perl.h & libperl were found
PERL_INCLUDE_PATH = path to where perl.h is found
PERL_LIBRARY = path to libperl
PERL_EXECUTABLE = full path to the perl binary
The minimum required version of Perl can be specified using the stan-
dard syntax, e.g. find_package(PerlLibs 6.0)
The following variables are also available if needed
(introduced after CMake 2.6.4)
PERL_SITESEARCH = path to the sitesearch install dir (-V:installsitesearch)
PERL_SITEARCH = path to the sitelib install directory (-V:installsitearch)
PERL_SITELIB = path to the sitelib install directory (-V:installsitelib)
PERL_VENDORARCH = path to the vendor arch install directory (-V:installvendorarch)
PERL_VENDORLIB = path to the vendor lib install directory (-V:installvendorlib)
PERL_ARCHLIB = path to the core arch lib install directory (-V:archlib)
PERL_PRIVLIB = path to the core priv lib install directory (-V:privlib)
PERL_UPDATE_ARCHLIB = path to the update arch lib install directory (-V:installarchlib)
PERL_UPDATE_PRIVLIB = path to the update priv lib install directory (-V:installprivlib)
PERL_EXTRA_C_FLAGS = Compilation flags used to build perl
FindPerl
Find perl
this module looks for Perl
PERL_EXECUTABLE - the full path to perl
PERL_FOUND - If false, don't attempt to use perl.
PERL_VERSION_STRING - version of perl found (since CMake 2.8.8)
FindPHP4
Find PHP4
This module finds if PHP4 is installed and determines where the include
files and libraries are. It also determines what the name of the
library is. This code sets the following variables:
PHP4_INCLUDE_PATH = path to where php.h can be found
PHP4_EXECUTABLE = full path to the php4 binary
FindPhysFS
Locate PhysFS library This module defines PHYSFS_LIBRARY, the name of
the library to link against PHYSFS_FOUND, if false, do not try to link
to PHYSFS PHYSFS_INCLUDE_DIR, where to find physfs.h
$PHYSFSDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the
./configure aprefix=$PHYSFSDIR used in building PHYSFS.
Created by Eric Wing.
FindPike
Find Pike
This module finds if PIKE is installed and determines where the include
files and libraries are. It also determines what the name of the
library is. This code sets the following variables:
PIKE_INCLUDE_PATH = path to where program.h is found
PIKE_EXECUTABLE = full path to the pike binary
FindPkgConfig
A pkg-config module for CMake.
Finds the pkg-config executable and adds the pkg_get_variable(),
pkg_check_modules() and pkg_search_module() commands. The following
variables will also be set:
PKG_CONFIG_FOUND
if pkg-config executable was found
PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE
pathname of the pkg-config program
PKG_CONFIG_VERSION_STRING
version of pkg-config (since CMake 2.8.8)
pkg_check_modules
Checks for all the given modules, setting a variety of result
variables in the calling scope.
pkg_check_modules(<prefix>
[REQUIRED] [QUIET]
[NO_CMAKE_PATH]
[NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH]
[IMPORTED_TARGET [GLOBAL]]
<moduleSpec> [<moduleSpec>...])
When the REQUIRED argument is given, the command will fail with
an error if module(s) could not be found.
When the QUIET argument is given, no status messages will be
printed.
By default, if CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED_VERSION is 3.1 or later,
or if PKG_CONFIG_USE_CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH is set to a boolean True
value, then the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH, and
CMAKE_APPBUNDLE_PATH cache and environment variables will be
added to the pkg-config search path. The NO_CMAKE_PATH and
NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH arguments disable this behavior for
the cache variables and environment variables respectively.
The IMPORTED_TARGET argument will create an imported target
named PkgConfig::<prefix> that can be passed directly as an
argument to target_link_libraries(). The GLOBAL argument will
make the imported target available in global scope.
Each <moduleSpec> can be either a bare module name or it can be
a module name with a version constraint (operators =, <, >, <=
and >= are supported). The following are examples for a module
named foo with various constraints:
o foo matches any version.
o foo<2 only matches versions before 2.
o foo>=3.1 matches any version from 3.1 or later.
o foo=1.2.3 requires that foo must be exactly version 1.2.3.
The following variables may be set upon return. Two sets of
values exist: One for the common case (<XXX> = <prefix>) and
another for the information pkg-config provides when called with
the --static option (<XXX> = <prefix>_STATIC).
<XXX>_FOUND
set to 1 if module(s) exist
<XXX>_LIBRARIES
only the libraries (without the a-la)
<XXX>_LINK_LIBRARIES
the libraries and their absolute paths
<XXX>_LIBRARY_DIRS
the paths of the libraries (without the a-La)
<XXX>_LDFLAGS
all required linker flags
<XXX>_LDFLAGS_OTHER
all other linker flags
<XXX>_INCLUDE_DIRS
the a-Ia preprocessor flags (without the a-Ia)
<XXX>_CFLAGS
all required cflags
<XXX>_CFLAGS_OTHER
the other compiler flags
All but <XXX>_FOUND may be a ;-list if the associated variable
returned from pkg-config has multiple values.
There are some special variables whose prefix depends on the
number of <moduleSpec> given. When there is only one <module-
Spec>, <YYY> will simply be <prefix>, but if two or more <mod-
uleSpec> items are given, <YYY> will be <prefix>_<moduleName>.
<YYY>_VERSION
version of the module
<YYY>_PREFIX
prefix directory of the module
<YYY>_INCLUDEDIR
include directory of the module
<YYY>_LIBDIR
lib directory of the module
Examples:
pkg_check_modules (GLIB2 glib-2.0)
Looks for any version of glib2. If found, the output variable
GLIB2_VERSION will hold the actual version found.
pkg_check_modules (GLIB2 glib-2.0>=2.10)
Looks for at least version 2.10 of glib2. If found, the output
variable GLIB2_VERSION will hold the actual version found.
pkg_check_modules (FOO glib-2.0>=2.10 gtk+-2.0)
Looks for both glib2-2.0 (at least version 2.10) and any version
of gtk2+-2.0. Only if both are found will FOO be considered
found. The FOO_glib-2.0_VERSION and FOO_gtk+-2.0_VERSION vari-
ables will be set to their respective found module versions.
pkg_check_modules (XRENDER REQUIRED xrender)
Requires any version of xrender. Example output variables set
by a successful call:
XRENDER_LIBRARIES=Xrender;X11
XRENDER_STATIC_LIBRARIES=Xrender;X11;pthread;Xau;Xdmcp
pkg_search_module
The behavior of this command is the same as pkg_check_modules(),
except that rather than checking for all the specified modules,
it searches for just the first successful match.
pkg_search_module(<prefix>
[REQUIRED] [QUIET]
[NO_CMAKE_PATH]
[NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH]
[IMPORTED_TARGET [GLOBAL]]
<moduleSpec> [<moduleSpec>...])
If a module is found, the <prefix>_MODULE_NAME variable will
contain the name of the matching module. This variable can be
used if you need to run pkg_get_variable().
Example:
pkg_search_module (BAR libxml-2.0 libxml2 libxml>=2)
pkg_get_variable
Retrieves the value of a pkg-config variable varName and stores
it in the result variable resultVar in the calling scope.
pkg_get_variable(<resultVar> <moduleName> <varName>)
If pkg-config returns multiple values for the specified vari-
able, resultVar will contain a ;-list.
For example:
pkg_get_variable(GI_GIRDIR gobject-introspection-1.0 girdir)
Variables Affecting Behavior
PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE
This can be set to the path of the pkg-config executable. If
not provided, it will be set by the module as a result of call-
ing find_program() internally. The PKG_CONFIG environment vari-
able can be used as a hint.
PKG_CONFIG_USE_CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
Specifies whether pkg_check_modules() and pkg_search_module()
should add the paths in the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, CMAKE_FRAME-
WORK_PATH and CMAKE_APPBUNDLE_PATH cache and environment vari-
ables to the pkg-config search path.
If this variable is not set, this behavior is enabled by default
if CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED_VERSION is 3.1 or later, disabled oth-
erwise.
FindPNG
Find libpng, the official reference library for the PNG image format.
Imported targets
This module defines the following IMPORTED target:
PNG::PNG
The libpng library, if found.
Result variables
This module will set the following variables in your project:
PNG_INCLUDE_DIRS
where to find png.h, etc.
PNG_LIBRARIES
the libraries to link against to use PNG.
PNG_DEFINITIONS
You should add_definitions(${PNG_DEFINITIONS}) before compiling
code that includes png library files.
PNG_FOUND
If false, do not try to use PNG.
PNG_VERSION_STRING
the version of the PNG library found (since CMake 2.8.8)
Obsolete variables
The following variables may also be set, for backwards compatibility:
PNG_LIBRARY
where to find the PNG library.
PNG_INCLUDE_DIR
where to find the PNG headers (same as PNG_INCLUDE_DIRS)
Since PNG depends on the ZLib compression library, none of the above
will be defined unless ZLib can be found.
FindPostgreSQL
Find the PostgreSQL installation.
IMPORTED Targets
This module defines IMPORTED target PostgreSQL::PostgreSQL if Post-
greSQL has been found.
Result Variables
This module will set the following variables in your project:
PostgreSQL_FOUND
True if PostgreSQL is found.
PostgreSQL_LIBRARIES
the PostgreSQL libraries needed for linking
PostgreSQL_INCLUDE_DIRS
the directories of the PostgreSQL headers
PostgreSQL_LIBRARY_DIRS
the link directories for PostgreSQL libraries
PostgreSQL_VERSION_STRING
the version of PostgreSQL found
FindProducer
Though Producer isnat directly part of OpenSceneGraph, its primary user
is OSG so I consider this part of the Findosg* suite used to find Open-
SceneGraph components. Youall notice that I accept OSGDIR as an envi-
ronment path.
Each component is separate and you must opt in to each module. You
must also opt into OpenGL (and OpenThreads?) as these modules wonat do
it for you. This is to allow you control over your own system piece by
piece in case you need to opt out of certain components or change the
Find behavior for a particular module (perhaps because the default
FindOpenGL.cmake module doesnat work with your system as an example).
If you want to use a more convenient module that includes everything,
use the FindOpenSceneGraph.cmake instead of the Findosg*.cmake modules.
Locate Producer This module defines PRODUCER_LIBRARY PRODUCER_FOUND, if
false, do not try to link to Producer PRODUCER_INCLUDE_DIR, where to
find the headers
$PRODUCER_DIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the
./configure aprefix=$PRODUCER_DIR used in building osg.
Created by Eric Wing.
FindProtobuf

tobuf-default VS project build locations (vsprojects/Debug and
vsprojects/Release or vsprojects/x64/Debug and vspro-
jects/x64/Release) will be searched for libraries and binaries.
Protobuf_IMPORT_DIRS
List of additional directories to be searched for imported
.proto files.
Protobuf_DEBUG

FindPython
Find Python interpreter, compiler and development environment (include
directories and libraries).
The following components are supported:
o Interpreter: search for Python interpreter.
o Compiler: search for Python compiler. Only offered by IronPython.
o Development: search for development artifacts (include directories
and libraries).
o NumPy: search for NumPy include directories.
If no COMPONENTS are specified, Interpreter is assumed.
To ensure consistent versions between components Interpreter, Compiler,
Development and NumPy, specify all components at the same time:
find_package (Python COMPONENTS Interpreter Development)
This module looks preferably for version 3 of Python. If not found,
version 2 is searched. To manage concurrent versions 3 and 2 of
Python, use FindPython3 and FindPython2 modules rather than this one.
NOTE:
If components Interpreter and Development are both specified, this
module search only for interpreter with same platform architecture
as the one defined by CMake configuration. This contraint does not
apply if only Interpreter component is specified.
Imported Targets
This module defines the following Imported Targets (when CMAKE_ROLE is
PROJECT):
Python::Interpreter
Python interpreter. Target defined if component Interpreter is
found.
Python::Compiler

Hints
Python_ROOT_DIR
Define the root directory of a Python installation.
Python_USE_STATIC_LIBS
o If not defined, search for shared libraries and static
libraries in that order.
o If set to TRUE, search only for static libraries.
o If set to FALSE, search only for shared libraries.
Python_FIND_ABI
This variable defines which ABIs, as defined in PEP 3149, should
be searched.
NOTE:
This hint will be honored only when searched for Python ver-
sion 3.
NOTE:
If Python_FIND_ABI is not defined, any ABI will be searched.
The Python_FIND_ABI variable is a 3-tuple specifying, in that
order, pydebug (d), pymalloc (m) and unicode (u) flags. Each
element can be set to one of the following:
o ON: Corresponding flag is selected.
o OFF: Corresponding flag is not selected.
o ANY: The two posibilties (ON and OFF) will be searched.
From this 3-tuple, various ABIs will be searched starting from
the most specialized to the most general. Moreover, debug ver-
sions will be searched after non-debug ones.
For example, if we have:
set (Python_FIND_ABI "ON" "ANY" "ANY")
The following flags combinations will be appended, in that
order, to the artifact names: dmu, dm, du, and d.
And to search any possible ABIs:
set (Python_FIND_ABI "ANY" "ANY" "ANY")
The following combinations, in that order, will be used: mu, m,
u, <empty>, dmu, dm, du and d.
NOTE:
This hint is useful only on POSIX systems. So, on Windows
systems, when Python_FIND_ABI is defined, Python distribu-
tions from python.org will be found only if value for each
flag is OFF or ANY.
Python_FIND_STRATEGY
This variable defines how lookup will be done. The
Python_FIND_STRATEGY variable can be set to one of the follow-
ing:
o VERSION: Try to find the most recent version in all specified
locations. This is the default if policy CMP0094 is undefined
or set to OLD.
o LOCATION: Stops lookup as soon as a version satisfying version
constraints is founded. This is the default if policy CMP0094
is set to NEW.
Python_FIND_REGISTRY
On Windows the Python_FIND_REGISTRY variable determine the order
of preference between registry and environment variables. the
Python_FIND_REGISTRY variable can be set to one of the follow-
ing:
o FIRST: Try to use registry before environment variables. This
is the default.
o LAST: Try to use registry after environment variables.
o NEVER: Never try to use registry.
Python_FIND_FRAMEWORK
On macOS the Python_FIND_FRAMEWORK variable determine the order
of preference between Apple-style and unix-style package compo-
nents. This variable can take same values as CMAKE_FIND_FRAME-
WORK variable.
NOTE:
Value ONLY is not supported so FIRST will be used instead.
If Python_FIND_FRAMEWORK is not defined, CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK
variable will be used, if any.
Python_FIND_VIRTUALENV
This variable defines the handling of virtual environments man-
aged by virtualenv or conda. It is meaningful only when a vir-
tual environment is active (i.e. the activate script has been
evaluated). In this case, it takes precedence over
Python_FIND_REGISTRY and CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK variables. The
Python_FIND_VIRTUALENV variable can be set to one of the follow-
ing:
o FIRST: The virtual environment is used before any other stan-
dard paths to look-up for the interpreter. This is the
default.
o ONLY: Only the virtual environment is used to look-up for the
interpreter.
o STANDARD: The virtual environment is not used to look-up for
the interpreter. In this case, variable Python_FIND_REGISTRY
(Windows) or CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK (macOS) can be set with
value LAST or NEVER to select preferably the interpreter from
the virtual environment.
NOTE:
If the component Development is requested, it is strongly
recommended to also include the component Interpreter to get
expected result.
Artifacts Specification
To solve special cases, it is possible to specify directly the arti-
facts by setting the following variables:
Python_EXECUTABLE
The path to the interpreter.
Python_COMPILER
The path to the compiler.
Python_LIBRARY
The path to the library. It will be used to compute the vari-
ables Python_LIBRARIES, Python_LIBRAY_DIRS and Python_RUN-
TIME_LIBRARY_DIRS.
Python_INCLUDE_DIR
The path to the directory of the Python headers. It will be used
to compute the variable Python_INCLUDE_DIRS.
Python_NumPy_INCLUDE_DIR
The path to the directory of the NumPy headers. It will be used
to compute the variable Python_NumPy_INCLUDE_DIRS.
NOTE:
All paths must be absolute. Any artifact specified with a relative
path will be ignored.
NOTE:
When an artifact is specified, all HINTS will be ignored and no
search will be performed for this artifact.
If more than one artifact is specified, it is the useras respons-
ability to ensure the consistency of the various artifacts.
Commands
This module defines the command Python_add_library (when CMAKE_ROLE is
PROJECT), which has the same semantics as add_library() and adds a
dependency to target Python::Python or, when library type is MODULE, to
target Python::Module and takes care of Python module naming rules:
Python_add_library (<name> [STATIC | SHARED | MODULE [WITH_SOABI]]
<source1> [<source2> ...])
If the library type is not specified, MODULE is assumed.
For MODULE library type, if option WITH_SOABI is specified, the module
suffix will include the Python_SOABI value, if any.
FindPython2
Find Python 2 interpreter, compiler and development environment
(include directories and libraries).
The following components are supported:
o Interpreter: search for Python 2 interpreter
o Compiler: search for Python 2 compiler. Only offered by IronPython.
o Development: search for development artifacts (include directories
and libraries)
o NumPy: search for NumPy include directories.
If no COMPONENTS are specified, Interpreter is assumed.
To ensure consistent versions between components Interpreter, Compiler,
Development and NumPy, specify all components at the same time:
find_package (Python2 COMPONENTS Interpreter Development)
This module looks only for version 2 of Python. This module can be used
concurrently with FindPython3 module to use both Python versions.
The FindPython module can be used if Python version does not matter for
you.
NOTE:
If components Interpreter and Development are both specified, this
module search only for interpreter with same platform architecture
as the one defined by CMake configuration. This contraint does not
apply if only Interpreter component is specified.

o STANDARD: The virtual environment is not used to look-up for
the interpreter. In this case, variable Python2_FIND_REGISTRY
(Windows) or CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK (macOS) can be set with
value LAST or NEVER to select preferably the interpreter from
the virtual environment.
NOTE:
If the component Development is requested, it is strongly
recommended to also include the component Interpreter to get
expected result.
Artifacts Specification
To solve special cases, it is possible to specify directly the arti-
facts by setting the following variables:
Python2_EXECUTABLE
The path to the interpreter.
Python2_COMPILER
The path to the compiler.
Python2_LIBRARY
The path to the library. It will be used to compute the vari-
ables Python2_LIBRARIES, Python2_LIBRAY_DIRS and Python2_RUN-
TIME_LIBRARY_DIRS.
Python2_INCLUDE_DIR
The path to the directory of the Python headers. It will be used
to compute the variable Python2_INCLUDE_DIRS.
Python2_NumPy_INCLUDE_DIR
The path to the directory of the NumPy headers. It will be used
to compute the variable Python2_NumPy_INCLUDE_DIRS.
NOTE:
All paths must be absolute. Any artifact specified with a relative
path will be ignored.
NOTE:
When an artifact is specified, all HINTS will be ignored and no
search will be performed for this artifact.
If more than one artifact is specified, it is the useras respons-
ability to ensure the consistency of the various artifacts.
Commands
This module defines the command Python2_add_library (when CMAKE_ROLE is
PROJECT), which has the same semantics as add_library() and adds a
dependency to target Python2::Python or, when library type is MODULE,
to target Python2::Module and takes care of Python module naming rules:
Python2_add_library (<name> [STATIC | SHARED | MODULE]
<source1> [<source2> ...])
If library type is not specified, MODULE is assumed.
FindPython3
Find Python 3 interpreter, compiler and development environment
(include directories and libraries).
The following components are supported:
o Interpreter: search for Python 3 interpreter
o Compiler: search for Python 3 compiler. Only offered by IronPython.
o Development: search for development artifacts (include directories
and libraries)
o NumPy: search for NumPy include directories.
If no COMPONENTS are specified, Interpreter is assumed.
To ensure consistent versions between components Interpreter, Compiler,
Development and NumPy, specify all components at the same time:
find_package (Python3 COMPONENTS Interpreter Development)
This module looks only for version 3 of Python. This module can be used
concurrently with FindPython2 module to use both Python versions.
The FindPython module can be used if Python version does not matter for
you.
NOTE:
If components Interpreter and Development are both specified, this
module search only for interpreter with same platform architecture
as the one defined by CMake configuration. This contraint does not
apply if only Interpreter component is specified.

Hints
Python3_ROOT_DIR
Define the root directory of a Python 3 installation.
Python3_USE_STATIC_LIBS
o If not defined, search for shared libraries and static
libraries in that order.
o If set to TRUE, search only for static libraries.
o If set to FALSE, search only for shared libraries.
Python3_FIND_ABI
This variable defines which ABIs, as defined in PEP 3149, should
be searched.
NOTE:
If Python3_FIND_ABI is not defined, any ABI will be searched.
The Python3_FIND_ABI variable is a 3-tuple specifying, in that
order, pydebug (d), pymalloc (m) and unicode (u) flags. Each
element can be set to one of the following:
o ON: Corresponding flag is selected.
o OFF: Corresponding flag is not selected.
o ANY: The two posibilties (ON and OFF) will be searched.
From this 3-tuple, various ABIs will be searched starting from
the most specialized to the most general. Moreover, debug ver-
sions will be searched after non-debug ones.
For example, if we have:
set (Python3_FIND_ABI "ON" "ANY" "ANY")
The following flags combinations will be appended, in that
order, to the artifact names: dmu, dm, du, and d.
And to search any possible ABIs:
set (Python3_FIND_ABI "ANY" "ANY" "ANY")
The following combinations, in that order, will be used: mu, m,
u, <empty>, dmu, dm, du and d.
NOTE:
This hint is useful only on POSIX systems. So, on Windows
systems, when Python3_FIND_ABI is defined, Python distribu-
tions from python.org will be found only if value for each
flag is OFF or ANY.
Python3_FIND_STRATEGY
This variable defines how lookup will be done. The
Python3_FIND_STRATEGY variable can be set to one of the follow-
ing:
o VERSION: Try to find the most recent version in all specified
locations. This is the default if policy CMP0094 is undefined
or set to OLD.
o LOCATION: Stops lookup as soon as a version satisfying version
constraints is founded. This is the default if policy CMP0094
is set to NEW.
Python3_FIND_REGISTRY
On Windows the Python3_FIND_REGISTRY variable determine the
order of preference between registry and environment variables.
The Python3_FIND_REGISTRY variable can be set to one of the fol-
lowing:
o FIRST: Try to use registry before environment variables. This
is the default.
o LAST: Try to use registry after environment variables.
o NEVER: Never try to use registry.
Python3_FIND_FRAMEWORK
On macOS the Python3_FIND_FRAMEWORK variable determine the order
of preference between Apple-style and unix-style package compo-
nents. This variable can take same values as CMAKE_FIND_FRAME-
WORK variable.
NOTE:
Value ONLY is not supported so FIRST will be used instead.
If Python3_FIND_FRAMEWORK is not defined, CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK
variable will be used, if any.
Python3_FIND_VIRTUALENV
This variable defines the handling of virtual environments man-
aged by virtualenv or conda. It is meaningful only when a vir-
tual environment is active (i.e. the activate script has been
evaluated). In this case, it takes precedence over
Python3_FIND_REGISTRY and CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK variables. The
Python3_FIND_VIRTUALENV variable can be set to one of the fol-
lowing:
o FIRST: The virtual environment is used before any other stan-
dard paths to look-up for the interpreter. This is the
default.
o ONLY: Only the virtual environment is used to look-up for the
interpreter.
o STANDARD: The virtual environment is not used to look-up for
the interpreter. In this case, variable Python3_FIND_REGISTRY
(Windows) or CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK (macOS) can be set with
value LAST or NEVER to select preferably the interpreter from
the virtual environment.
NOTE:
If the component Development is requested, it is strongly
recommended to also include the component Interpreter to get
expected result.
Artifacts Specification
To solve special cases, it is possible to specify directly the arti-
facts by setting the following variables:
Python3_EXECUTABLE
The path to the interpreter.
Python3_COMPILER
The path to the compiler.
Python3_LIBRARY
The path to the library. It will be used to compute the vari-
ables Python3_LIBRARIES, Python3_LIBRAY_DIRS and Python3_RUN-
TIME_LIBRARY_DIRS.
Python3_INCLUDE_DIR
The path to the directory of the Python headers. It will be used
to compute the variable Python3_INCLUDE_DIRS.
Python3_NumPy_INCLUDE_DIR
The path to the directory of the NumPy headers. It will be used
to compute the variable Python3_NumPy_INCLUDE_DIRS.
NOTE:
All paths must be absolute. Any artifact specified with a relative
path will be ignored.
NOTE:
When an artifact is specified, all HINTS will be ignored and no
search will be performed for this artifact.
If more than one artifact is specified, it is the useras respons-
ability to ensure the consistency of the various artifacts.
Commands
This module defines the command Python3_add_library (when CMAKE_ROLE is
PROJECT), which has the same semantics as add_library() and adds a
dependency to target Python3::Python or, when library type is MODULE,
to target Python3::Module and takes care of Python module naming rules:
Python3_add_library (<name> [STATIC | SHARED | MODULE [WITH_SOABI]]
<source1> [<source2> ...])
If the library type is not specified, MODULE is assumed.
For MODULE library type, if option WITH_SOABI is specified, the module
suffix will include the Python3_SOABI value, if any.
FindQt3
Locate Qt include paths and libraries
This module defines:
QT_INCLUDE_DIR - where to find qt.h, etc.
QT_LIBRARIES - the libraries to link against to use Qt.
QT_DEFINITIONS - definitions to use when
compiling code that uses Qt.
QT_FOUND - If false, don't try to use Qt.
QT_VERSION_STRING - the version of Qt found
If you need the multithreaded version of Qt, set QT_MT_REQUIRED to TRUE
Also defined, but not for general use are:
QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE, where to find the moc tool.
QT_UIC_EXECUTABLE, where to find the uic tool.
QT_QT_LIBRARY, where to find the Qt library.
QT_QTMAIN_LIBRARY, where to find the qtmain
library. This is only required by Qt3 on Windows.
FindQt4
Finding and Using Qt4
This module can be used to find Qt4. The most important issue is that
the Qt4 qmake is available via the system path. This qmake is then
used to detect basically everything else. This module defines a number
of IMPORTED targets, macros and variables.
Typical usage could be something like:
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)
find_package(Qt4 4.4.3 REQUIRED QtGui QtXml)
add_executable(myexe main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(myexe Qt4::QtGui Qt4::QtXml)
NOTE:
When using IMPORTED targets, the qtmain.lib static library is auto-
matically linked on Windows for WIN32 executables. To disable that
globally, set the QT4_NO_LINK_QTMAIN variable before finding Qt4. To
disable that for a particular executable, set the QT4_NO_LINK_QTMAIN
target property to TRUE on the executable.
Qt Build Tools
Qt relies on some bundled tools for code generation, such as moc for
meta-object code generation,``uic`` for widget layout and population,
and rcc for virtual filesystem content generation. These tools may be
automatically invoked by cmake(1) if the appropriate conditions are
met. See cmake-qt(7) for more.
Qt Macros
In some cases it can be necessary or useful to invoke the Qt build
tools in a more-manual way. Several macros are available to add targets
for such uses.
macro QT4_WRAP_CPP(outfiles inputfile ... [TARGET tgt] OPTIONS ...)
create moc code from a list of files containing Qt class with
the Q_OBJECT declaration. Per-directory preprocessor definitions
are also added. If the <tgt> is specified, the
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS from
the <tgt> are passed to moc. Options may be given to moc, such as
those found when executing "moc -help".
macro QT4_WRAP_UI(outfiles inputfile ... OPTIONS ...)
create code from a list of Qt designer ui files.
Options may be given to uic, such as those found
when executing "uic -help"
macro QT4_ADD_RESOURCES(outfiles inputfile ... OPTIONS ...)
create code from a list of Qt resource files.
Options may be given to rcc, such as those found
when executing "rcc -help"
macro QT4_GENERATE_MOC(inputfile outputfile [TARGET tgt])
creates a rule to run moc on infile and create outfile.
Use this if for some reason QT4_WRAP_CPP() isn't appropriate, e.g.
because you need a custom filename for the moc file or something
similar. If the <tgt> is specified, the
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS from
the <tgt> are passed to moc.
macro QT4_ADD_DBUS_INTERFACE(outfiles interface basename)
Create the interface header and implementation files with the
given basename from the given interface xml file and add it to
the list of sources.
You can pass additional parameters to the qdbusxml2cpp call by setting
properties on the input file:
INCLUDE the given file will be included in the generate interface header
CLASSNAME the generated class is named accordingly
NO_NAMESPACE the generated class is not wrapped in a namespace
macro QT4_ADD_DBUS_INTERFACES(outfiles inputfile ... )
Create the interface header and implementation files
for all listed interface xml files.
The basename will be automatically determined from the name
of the xml file.
The source file properties described for
QT4_ADD_DBUS_INTERFACE also apply here.
macro QT4_ADD_DBUS_ADAPTOR(outfiles xmlfile parentheader parentclassname
[basename] [classname])
create a dbus adaptor (header and implementation file) from the xml file
describing the interface, and add it to the list of sources. The adaptor
forwards the calls to a parent class, defined in parentheader and named
parentclassname. The name of the generated files will be
<basename>adaptor.{cpp,h} where basename defaults to the basename of the
xml file.
If <classname> is provided, then it will be used as the classname of the
adaptor itself.
macro QT4_GENERATE_DBUS_INTERFACE( header [interfacename] OPTIONS ...)
generate the xml interface file from the given header.
If the optional argument interfacename is omitted, the name of the
interface file is constructed from the basename of the header with
the suffix .xml appended.
Options may be given to qdbuscpp2xml, such as those found when
executing "qdbuscpp2xml --help"
macro QT4_CREATE_TRANSLATION( qm_files directories ... sources ...
ts_files ... OPTIONS ...)
out: qm_files
in: directories sources ts_files
options: flags to pass to lupdate, such as -extensions to specify
extensions for a directory scan.
generates commands to create .ts (vie lupdate) and .qm
(via lrelease) - files from directories and/or sources. The ts files are
created and/or updated in the source tree (unless given with full paths).
The qm files are generated in the build tree.
Updating the translations can be done by adding the qm_files
to the source list of your library/executable, so they are
always updated, or by adding a custom target to control when
they get updated/generated.
macro QT4_ADD_TRANSLATION( qm_files ts_files ... )
out: qm_files
in: ts_files
generates commands to create .qm from .ts - files. The generated
filenames can be found in qm_files. The ts_files
must exist and are not updated in any way.
macro QT4_AUTOMOC(sourcefile1 sourcefile2 ... [TARGET tgt])
The qt4_automoc macro is obsolete. Use the CMAKE_AUTOMOC feature instead.
This macro is still experimental.
It can be used to have moc automatically handled.
So if you have the files foo.h and foo.cpp, and in foo.h a
a class uses the Q_OBJECT macro, moc has to run on it. If you don't
want to use QT4_WRAP_CPP() (which is reliable and mature), you can insert
#include "foo.moc"
in foo.cpp and then give foo.cpp as argument to QT4_AUTOMOC(). This will
scan all listed files at cmake-time for such included moc files and if it
finds them cause a rule to be generated to run moc at build time on the
accompanying header file foo.h.
If a source file has the SKIP_AUTOMOC property set it will be ignored by
this macro.
If the <tgt> is specified, the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and
INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS from the <tgt> are passed to moc.
function QT4_USE_MODULES( target [link_type] modules...)
This function is obsolete. Use target_link_libraries with IMPORTED targets
instead.
Make <target> use the <modules> from Qt. Using a Qt module means
to link to the library, add the relevant include directories for the
module, and add the relevant compiler defines for using the module.
Modules are roughly equivalent to components of Qt4, so usage would be
something like:
qt4_use_modules(myexe Core Gui Declarative)
to use QtCore, QtGui and QtDeclarative. The optional <link_type> argument
can be specified as either LINK_PUBLIC or LINK_PRIVATE to specify the
same argument to the target_link_libraries call.
IMPORTED Targets
A particular Qt library may be used by using the corresponding IMPORTED
target with the target_link_libraries() command:
target_link_libraries(myexe Qt4::QtGui Qt4::QtXml)
Using a target in this way causes :cmake(1)` to use the appropriate
include directories and compile definitions for the target when compil-
ing myexe.
Targets are aware of their dependencies, so for example it is not nec-
essary to list Qt4::QtCore if another Qt library is listed, and it is
not necessary to list Qt4::QtGui if Qt4::QtDeclarative is listed. Tar-
gets may be tested for existence in the usual way with the if(TARGET)
command.
The Qt toolkit may contain both debug and release libraries. cmake(1)
will choose the appropriate version based on the build configuration.

RTI is a simulation infrastructure standardized by IEEE and SISO. It
has a well defined C++ API that assures that simulation applications
are independent on a particular RTI implementation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-Time_Infrastructure_(simulation)
This code sets the following variables:
RTI_INCLUDE_DIR = the directory where RTI includes file are found
RTI_LIBRARIES = The libraries to link against to use RTI
RTI_DEFINITIONS = -DRTI_USES_STD_FSTREAM
RTI_FOUND = Set to FALSE if any HLA RTI was not found
Report problems to <certi-devel@nongnu.org>
FindRuby
Find Ruby
This module finds if Ruby is installed and determines where the include
files and libraries are. Ruby 1.8, 1.9, 2.0 and 2.1 are supported.
The minimum required version of Ruby can be specified using the stan-
dard syntax, e.g. find_package(Ruby 1.8)
It also determines what the name of the library is. This code sets the
following variables:
RUBY_EXECUTABLE
full path to the ruby binary
RUBY_INCLUDE_DIRS
include dirs to be used when using the ruby library
RUBY_LIBRARY
full path to the ruby library
RUBY_VERSION
the version of ruby which was found, e.g. a1.8.7a
RUBY_FOUND
set to true if ruby ws found successfully
Also:
RUBY_INCLUDE_PATH
same as RUBY_INCLUDE_DIRS, only provided for compatibility rea-
sons, donat use it
FindSDL_image
Locate SDL_image library
This module defines:
SDL_IMAGE_LIBRARIES, the name of the library to link against
SDL_IMAGE_INCLUDE_DIRS, where to find the headers
SDL_IMAGE_FOUND, if false, do not try to link against
SDL_IMAGE_VERSION_STRING - human-readable string containing the
version of SDL_image
For backward compatibility the following variables are also set:
SDLIMAGE_LIBRARY (same value as SDL_IMAGE_LIBRARIES)
SDLIMAGE_INCLUDE_DIR (same value as SDL_IMAGE_INCLUDE_DIRS)
SDLIMAGE_FOUND (same value as SDL_IMAGE_FOUND)
$SDLDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the ./con-
figure aprefix=$SDLDIR used in building SDL.
Created by Eric Wing. This was influenced by the FindSDL.cmake module,
but with modifications to recognize OS X frameworks and additional Unix
paths (FreeBSD, etc).
FindSDL_mixer
Locate SDL_mixer library
This module defines:
SDL_MIXER_LIBRARIES, the name of the library to link against
SDL_MIXER_INCLUDE_DIRS, where to find the headers
SDL_MIXER_FOUND, if false, do not try to link against
SDL_MIXER_VERSION_STRING - human-readable string containing the
version of SDL_mixer
For backward compatibility the following variables are also set:
SDLMIXER_LIBRARY (same value as SDL_MIXER_LIBRARIES)
SDLMIXER_INCLUDE_DIR (same value as SDL_MIXER_INCLUDE_DIRS)
SDLMIXER_FOUND (same value as SDL_MIXER_FOUND)
$SDLDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the ./con-
figure aprefix=$SDLDIR used in building SDL.
Created by Eric Wing. This was influenced by the FindSDL.cmake module,
but with modifications to recognize OS X frameworks and additional Unix
paths (FreeBSD, etc).
FindSDL_net
Locate SDL_net library
This module defines:
SDL_NET_LIBRARIES, the name of the library to link against
SDL_NET_INCLUDE_DIRS, where to find the headers
SDL_NET_FOUND, if false, do not try to link against
SDL_NET_VERSION_STRING - human-readable string containing the version of SDL_net
For backward compatibility the following variables are also set:
SDLNET_LIBRARY (same value as SDL_NET_LIBRARIES)
SDLNET_INCLUDE_DIR (same value as SDL_NET_INCLUDE_DIRS)
SDLNET_FOUND (same value as SDL_NET_FOUND)
$SDLDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the ./con-
figure aprefix=$SDLDIR used in building SDL.
Created by Eric Wing. This was influenced by the FindSDL.cmake module,
but with modifications to recognize OS X frameworks and additional Unix
paths (FreeBSD, etc).
FindSDL
Locate SDL library
This module defines
SDL_LIBRARY, the name of the library to link against
SDL_FOUND, if false, do not try to link to SDL
SDL_INCLUDE_DIR, where to find SDL.h
SDL_VERSION_STRING, human-readable string containing the version of SDL
This module responds to the flag:
SDL_BUILDING_LIBRARY
If this is defined, then no SDL_main will be linked in because
only applications need main().
Otherwise, it is assumed you are building an application and this
module will attempt to locate and set the proper link flags
as part of the returned SDL_LIBRARY variable.
Donat forget to include SDLmain.h and SDLmain.m your project for the OS
X framework based version. (Other versions link to -lSDLmain which
this module will try to find on your behalf.) Also for OS X, this mod-
ule will automatically add the -framework Cocoa on your behalf.
Additional Note: If you see an empty SDL_LIBRARY_TEMP in your configu-
ration and no SDL_LIBRARY, it means CMake did not find your SDL library
(SDL.dll, libsdl.so, SDL.framework, etc). Set SDL_LIBRARY_TEMP to
point to your SDL library, and configure again. Similarly, if you see
an empty SDLMAIN_LIBRARY, you should set this value as appropriate.
These values are used to generate the final SDL_LIBRARY variable, but
when these values are unset, SDL_LIBRARY does not get created.
$SDLDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the ./con-
figure aprefix=$SDLDIR used in building SDL. l.e.galup 9-20-02
Modified by Eric Wing. Added code to assist with automated building by
using environmental variables and providing a more controlled/consis-
tent search behavior. Added new modifications to recognize OS X frame-
works and additional Unix paths (FreeBSD, etc). Also corrected the
header search path to follow apropera SDL guidelines. Added a search
for SDLmain which is needed by some platforms. Added a search for
threads which is needed by some platforms. Added needed compile
switches for MinGW.
On OSX, this will prefer the Framework version (if found) over others.
People will have to manually change the cache values of SDL_LIBRARY to
override this selection or set the CMake environment CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH
to modify the search paths.
Note that the header path has changed from SDL/SDL.h to just SDL.h This
needed to change because apropera SDL convention is #include aSDL.ha,
not <SDL/SDL.h>. This is done for portability reasons because not all
systems place things in SDL/ (see FreeBSD).
FindSDL_sound
Locates the SDL_sound library
This module depends on SDL being found and must be called AFTER Find-
SDL.cmake is called.
This module defines
SDL_SOUND_INCLUDE_DIR, where to find SDL_sound.h
SDL_SOUND_FOUND, if false, do not try to link to SDL_sound
SDL_SOUND_LIBRARIES, this contains the list of libraries that you need
to link against.
SDL_SOUND_EXTRAS, this is an optional variable for you to add your own
flags to SDL_SOUND_LIBRARIES. This is prepended to SDL_SOUND_LIBRARIES.
This is available mostly for cases this module failed to anticipate for
and you must add additional flags. This is marked as ADVANCED.
SDL_SOUND_VERSION_STRING, human-readable string containing the
version of SDL_sound
This module also defines (but you shouldnat need to use directly)
SDL_SOUND_LIBRARY, the name of just the SDL_sound library you would link
against. Use SDL_SOUND_LIBRARIES for you link instructions and not this one.
And might define the following as needed
MIKMOD_LIBRARY
MODPLUG_LIBRARY
OGG_LIBRARY
VORBIS_LIBRARY
SMPEG_LIBRARY
FLAC_LIBRARY
SPEEX_LIBRARY
Typically, you should not use these variables directly, and you should
use SDL_SOUND_LIBRARIES which contains SDL_SOUND_LIBRARY and the other
audio libraries (if needed) to successfully compile on your system.
Created by Eric Wing. This module is a bit more complicated than the
other FindSDL* family modules. The reason is that SDL_sound can be
compiled in a large variety of different ways which are independent of
platform. SDL_sound may dynamically link against other 3rd party
libraries to get additional codec support, such as Ogg Vorbis, SMPEG,
ModPlug, MikMod, FLAC, Speex, and potentially others. Under some cir-
cumstances which I donat fully understand, there seems to be a require-
ment that dependent libraries of libraries you use must also be explic-
itly linked against in order to successfully compile. SDL_sound does
not currently have any system in place to know how it was compiled. So
this CMake module does the hard work in trying to discover which 3rd
party libraries are required for building (if any). This module uses a
brute force approach to create a test program that uses SDL_sound, and
then tries to build it. If the build fails, it parses the error output
for known symbol names to figure out which libraries are needed.
Responds to the $SDLDIR and $SDLSOUNDDIR environmental variable that
would correspond to the ./configure aprefix=$SDLDIR used in building
SDL.
On OSX, this will prefer the Framework version (if found) over others.
People will have to manually change the cache values of SDL_LIBRARY to
override this selectionor set the CMake environment CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH
to modify the search paths.
FindSDL_ttf
Locate SDL_ttf library
This module defines:
SDL_TTF_LIBRARIES, the name of the library to link against
SDL_TTF_INCLUDE_DIRS, where to find the headers
SDL_TTF_FOUND, if false, do not try to link against
SDL_TTF_VERSION_STRING - human-readable string containing the version of SDL_ttf
For backward compatibility the following variables are also set:
SDLTTF_LIBRARY (same value as SDL_TTF_LIBRARIES)
SDLTTF_INCLUDE_DIR (same value as SDL_TTF_INCLUDE_DIRS)
SDLTTF_FOUND (same value as SDL_TTF_FOUND)
$SDLDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the ./con-
figure aprefix=$SDLDIR used in building SDL.
Created by Eric Wing. This was influenced by the FindSDL.cmake module,
but with modifications to recognize OS X frameworks and additional Unix
paths (FreeBSD, etc).
FindSelfPackers
Find upx
This module looks for some executable packers (i.e. software that com-
press executables or shared libs into on-the-fly self-extracting exe-
cutables or shared libs. Examples:
UPX: http://wildsau.idv.uni-linz.ac.at/mfx/upx.html
FindSquish
a Typical Use
This module can be used to find Squish. Currently Squish versions 3
and 4 are supported.
SQUISH_FOUND If false, don't try to use Squish
SQUISH_VERSION The full version of Squish found
SQUISH_VERSION_MAJOR The major version of Squish found
SQUISH_VERSION_MINOR The minor version of Squish found
SQUISH_VERSION_PATCH The patch version of Squish found
SQUISH_INSTALL_DIR The Squish installation directory
(containing bin, lib, etc)
SQUISH_SERVER_EXECUTABLE The squishserver executable
SQUISH_CLIENT_EXECUTABLE The squishrunner executable
SQUISH_INSTALL_DIR_FOUND Was the install directory found?
SQUISH_SERVER_EXECUTABLE_FOUND Was the server executable found?
SQUISH_CLIENT_EXECUTABLE_FOUND Was the client executable found?
It provides the function squish_v4_add_test() for adding a squish test
to cmake using Squish 4.x:
squish_v4_add_test(cmakeTestName
AUT targetName SUITE suiteName TEST squishTestName
[SETTINGSGROUP group] [PRE_COMMAND command] [POST_COMMAND command] )
The arguments have the following meaning:
cmakeTestName
this will be used as the first argument for add_test()
AUT targetName
the name of the cmake target which will be used as AUT, i.e. the
executable which will be tested.
SUITE suiteName
this is either the full path to the squish suite, or just the
last directory of the suite, i.e. the suite name. In this case
the CMakeLists.txt which calls squish_add_test() must be located
in the parent directory of the suite directory.
TEST squishTestName
the name of the squish test, i.e. the name of the subdirectory
of the test inside the suite directory.
SETTINGSGROUP group
if specified, the given settings group will be used for execut-
ing the test. If not specified, the groupname will be
aCTest_<username>a
PRE_COMMAND command
if specified, the given command will be executed before starting
the squish test.
POST_COMMAND command
same as PRE_COMMAND, but after the squish test has been exe-
cuted.
enable_testing()
find_package(Squish 4.0)
if (SQUISH_FOUND)
squish_v4_add_test(myTestName
AUT myApp
SUITE ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/tests/mySuite
TEST someSquishTest
SETTINGSGROUP myGroup
)
endif ()
For users of Squish version 3.x the macro squish_v3_add_test() is pro-
vided:
squish_v3_add_test(testName applicationUnderTest testCase envVars testWrapper)
Use this macro to add a test using Squish 3.x.
enable_testing()
find_package(Squish)
if (SQUISH_FOUND)
squish_v3_add_test(myTestName myApplication testCase envVars testWrapper)
endif ()
macro SQUISH_ADD_TEST(testName applicationUnderTest testCase envVars
testWrapper)
This is deprecated. Use SQUISH_V3_ADD_TEST() if you are using Squish 3.x instead.
FindSQLite3
Find the SQLite libraries, v3
IMPORTED targets
This module defines the following IMPORTED target:
SQLite::SQLite3
Result variables
This module will set the following variables if found:
SQLite3_INCLUDE_DIRS
where to find sqlite3.h, etc.
SQLite3_LIBRARIES
the libraries to link against to use SQLite3.
SQLite3_VERSION
version of the SQLite3 library found
SQLite3_FOUND
TRUE if found
FindSubversion
Extract information from a subversion working copy
The module defines the following variables:
Subversion_SVN_EXECUTABLE - path to svn command line client
Subversion_VERSION_SVN - version of svn command line client
Subversion_FOUND - true if the command line client was found
SUBVERSION_FOUND - same as Subversion_FOUND, set for compatibility reasons
The minimum required version of Subversion can be specified using the
standard syntax, e.g. find_package(Subversion 1.4).
If the command line client executable is found two macros are defined:
Subversion_WC_INFO(<dir> <var-prefix> [IGNORE_SVN_FAILURE])
Subversion_WC_LOG(<dir> <var-prefix>)
Subversion_WC_INFO extracts information of a subversion working copy at
a given location. This macro defines the following variables if run-
ning Subversionas info command on <dir> succeeds; otherwise a
SEND_ERROR message is generated. The error can be ignored by providing
the IGNORE_SVN_FAILURE option, which causes these variables to remain
undefined.
<var-prefix>_WC_URL - url of the repository (at <dir>)
<var-prefix>_WC_ROOT - root url of the repository
<var-prefix>_WC_REVISION - current revision
<var-prefix>_WC_LAST_CHANGED_AUTHOR - author of last commit
<var-prefix>_WC_LAST_CHANGED_DATE - date of last commit
<var-prefix>_WC_LAST_CHANGED_REV - revision of last commit
<var-prefix>_WC_INFO - output of command `svn info <dir>'
Subversion_WC_LOG retrieves the log message of the base revision of a
subversion working copy at a given location. This macro defines the
variable:
<var-prefix>_LAST_CHANGED_LOG - last log of base revision
Example usage:
find_package(Subversion)
if(SUBVERSION_FOUND)
Subversion_WC_INFO(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} Project)
message("Current revision is ${Project_WC_REVISION}")
Subversion_WC_LOG(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} Project)
message("Last changed log is ${Project_LAST_CHANGED_LOG}")
endif()
FindSWIG
Find Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator (SWIG)
This module finds an installed SWIG. It sets the following variables:
SWIG_FOUND - set to "True" if SWIG is found
SWIG_DIR - the directory where swig is installed
SWIG_EXECUTABLE - the path to the swig executable
SWIG_VERSION - the version number of the swig executable
The minimum required version of SWIG can be specified using the stan-
dard syntax, e.g. find_package(SWIG 1.1)
All information is collected from the SWIG_EXECUTABLE, so the version
to be found can be changed from the command line by means of setting
SWIG_EXECUTABLE
FindTCL
TK_INTERNAL_PATH was removed.
This module finds if Tcl is installed and determines where the include
files and libraries are. It also determines what the name of the
library is. This code sets the following variables:
TCL_FOUND = Tcl was found
TK_FOUND = Tk was found
TCLTK_FOUND = Tcl and Tk were found
TCL_LIBRARY = path to Tcl library (tcl tcl80)
TCL_INCLUDE_PATH = path to where tcl.h can be found
TCL_TCLSH = path to tclsh binary (tcl tcl80)
TK_LIBRARY = path to Tk library (tk tk80 etc)
TK_INCLUDE_PATH = path to where tk.h can be found
TK_WISH = full path to the wish executable
In an effort to remove some clutter and clear up some issues for people
who are not necessarily Tcl/Tk gurus/developers, some variables were
moved or removed. Changes compared to CMake 2.4 are:
=> they were only useful for people writing Tcl/Tk extensions.
=> these libs are not packaged by default with Tcl/Tk distributions.
Even when Tcl/Tk is built from source, several flavors of debug libs
are created and there is no real reason to pick a single one
specifically (say, amongst tcl84g, tcl84gs, or tcl84sgx).
Let's leave that choice to the user by allowing him to assign
TCL_LIBRARY to any Tcl library, debug or not.
=> this ended up being only a Win32 variable, and there is a lot of
confusion regarding the location of this file in an installed Tcl/Tk
tree anyway (see 8.5 for example). If you need the internal path at
this point it is safer you ask directly where the *source* tree is
and dig from there.
FindTclsh
Find tclsh
This module finds if TCL is installed and determines where the include
files and libraries are. It also determines what the name of the
library is. This code sets the following variables:
TCLSH_FOUND = TRUE if tclsh has been found
TCL_TCLSH = the path to the tclsh executable
In cygwin, look for the cygwin version first. Donat look for it later
to avoid finding the cygwin version on a Win32 build.
FindTclStub
TCL_STUB_LIBRARY_DEBUG and TK_STUB_LIBRARY_DEBUG were removed.
This module finds Tcl stub libraries. It first finds Tcl include files
and libraries by calling FindTCL.cmake. How to Use the Tcl Stubs
Library:
http://tcl.activestate.com/doc/howto/stubs.html
Using Stub Libraries:
http://safari.oreilly.com/0130385603/ch48lev1sec3
This code sets the following variables:
TCL_STUB_LIBRARY = path to Tcl stub library
TK_STUB_LIBRARY = path to Tk stub library
TTK_STUB_LIBRARY = path to ttk stub library
In an effort to remove some clutter and clear up some issues for people
who are not necessarily Tcl/Tk gurus/developers, some variables were
moved or removed. Changes compared to CMake 2.4 are:
=> these libs are not packaged by default with Tcl/Tk distributions.
Even when Tcl/Tk is built from source, several flavors of debug libs
are created and there is no real reason to pick a single one
specifically (say, amongst tclstub84g, tclstub84gs, or tclstub84sgx).
Let's leave that choice to the user by allowing him to assign
TCL_STUB_LIBRARY to any Tcl library, debug or not.
FindThreads
This module determines the thread library of the system.
Imported Targets
This module defines the following IMPORTED target:
Threads::Threads
The thread library, if found.
Result Variables
The following variables are set:
Threads_FOUND
If a supported thread library was found.
CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT
The thread library to use. This may be empty if the thread func-
tions are provided by the system libraries and no special flags
are needed to use them.
CMAKE_USE_WIN32_THREADS_INIT
If the found thread library is the win32 one.
CMAKE_USE_PTHREADS_INIT
If the found thread library is pthread compatible.
CMAKE_HP_PTHREADS_INIT
If the found thread library is the HP thread library.
Variables Affecting Behavior
THREADS_PREFER_PTHREAD_FLAG
If the use of the -pthread compiler and linker flag is preferred
then the caller can set this variable to TRUE. The compiler flag
can only be used with the imported target. Use of both the
imported target as well as this switch is highly recommended for
new code.
This variable has no effect if the system libraries provide the
thread functions, i.e. when CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT will be
empty.
FindTIFF
Find the TIFF library (libtiff).
Imported targets
This module defines the following IMPORTED targets:
TIFF::TIFF
The TIFF library, if found.
Result variables
This module will set the following variables in your project:
TIFF_FOUND
true if the TIFF headers and libraries were found
TIFF_INCLUDE_DIR
the directory containing the TIFF headers
TIFF_INCLUDE_DIRS
the directory containing the TIFF headers
TIFF_LIBRARIES
TIFF libraries to be linked
Cache variables
The following cache variables may also be set:
TIFF_INCLUDE_DIR
the directory containing the TIFF headers
TIFF_LIBRARY
the path to the TIFF library
FindUnixCommands
Find Unix commands, including the ones from Cygwin
This module looks for the Unix commands bash, cp, gzip, mv, rm, and tar
and stores the result in the variables BASH, CP, GZIP, MV, RM, and TAR.
FindVTK
This module no longer exists.
This module existed in versions of CMake prior to 3.1, but became only
a thin wrapper around find_package(VTK NO_MODULE) to provide compati-
bility for projects using long-outdated conventions. Now find_pack-
age(VTK) will search for VTKConfig.cmake directly.
FindVulkan
Find Vulkan, which is a low-overhead, cross-platform 3D graphics and
computing API.
IMPORTED Targets
This module defines IMPORTED target Vulkan::Vulkan, if Vulkan has been
found.
Result Variables
This module defines the following variables:
Vulkan_FOUND - "True" if Vulkan was found
Vulkan_INCLUDE_DIRS - include directories for Vulkan
Vulkan_LIBRARIES - link against this library to use Vulkan
The module will also define two cache variables:
Vulkan_INCLUDE_DIR - the Vulkan include directory
Vulkan_LIBRARY - the path to the Vulkan library
FindWget
Find wget
This module looks for wget. This module defines the following values:
WGET_EXECUTABLE: the full path to the wget tool.
WGET_FOUND: True if wget has been found.
FindWish
Find wish installation
This module finds if TCL is installed and determines where the include
files and libraries are. It also determines what the name of the
library is. This code sets the following variables:
TK_WISH = the path to the wish executable
if UNIX is defined, then it will look for the cygwin version first
FindwxWidgets
Find a wxWidgets (a.k.a., wxWindows) installation.
This module finds if wxWidgets is installed and selects a default con-
figuration to use. wxWidgets is a modular library. To specify the
modules that you will use, you need to name them as components to the
package:
find_package(wxWidgets COMPONENTS core base a| OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS net
a|)
There are two search branches: a windows style and a unix style. For
windows, the following variables are searched for and set to defaults
in case of multiple choices. Change them if the defaults are not
desired (i.e., these are the only variables you should change to select
a configuration):
wxWidgets_ROOT_DIR - Base wxWidgets directory
(e.g., C:/wxWidgets-2.6.3).
wxWidgets_LIB_DIR - Path to wxWidgets libraries
(e.g., C:/wxWidgets-2.6.3/lib/vc_lib).
wxWidgets_CONFIGURATION - Configuration to use
(e.g., msw, mswd, mswu, mswunivud, etc.)
wxWidgets_EXCLUDE_COMMON_LIBRARIES
- Set to TRUE to exclude linking of
commonly required libs (e.g., png tiff
jpeg zlib regex expat).
For unix style it uses the wx-config utility. You can select between
debug/release, unicode/ansi, universal/non-universal, and static/shared
in the QtDialog or ccmake interfaces by turning ON/OFF the following
variables:
wxWidgets_USE_DEBUG
wxWidgets_USE_UNICODE
wxWidgets_USE_UNIVERSAL
wxWidgets_USE_STATIC
There is also a wxWidgets_CONFIG_OPTIONS variable for all other options
that need to be passed to the wx-config utility. For example, to use
the base toolkit found in the /usr/local path, set the variable (before
calling the FIND_PACKAGE command) as such:
set(wxWidgets_CONFIG_OPTIONS --toolkit=base --prefix=/usr)
The following are set after the configuration is done for both windows
and unix style:
wxWidgets_FOUND - Set to TRUE if wxWidgets was found.
wxWidgets_INCLUDE_DIRS - Include directories for WIN32
i.e., where to find "wx/wx.h" and
"wx/setup.h"; possibly empty for unices.
wxWidgets_LIBRARIES - Path to the wxWidgets libraries.
wxWidgets_LIBRARY_DIRS - compile time link dirs, useful for
rpath on UNIX. Typically an empty string
in WIN32 environment.
wxWidgets_DEFINITIONS - Contains defines required to compile/link
against WX, e.g. WXUSINGDLL
wxWidgets_DEFINITIONS_DEBUG- Contains defines required to compile/link
against WX debug builds, e.g. __WXDEBUG__
wxWidgets_CXX_FLAGS - Include dirs and compiler flags for
unices, empty on WIN32. Essentially
"`wx-config --cxxflags`".
wxWidgets_USE_FILE - Convenience include file.
Sample usage:
# Note that for MinGW users the order of libs is important!
find_package(wxWidgets COMPONENTS gl core base OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS net)
if(wxWidgets_FOUND)
include(${wxWidgets_USE_FILE})
# and for each of your dependent executable/library targets:
target_link_libraries(<YourTarget> ${wxWidgets_LIBRARIES})
endif()
If wxWidgets is required (i.e., not an optional part):
find_package(wxWidgets REQUIRED gl core base OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS net)
include(${wxWidgets_USE_FILE})
# and for each of your dependent executable/library targets:
target_link_libraries(<YourTarget> ${wxWidgets_LIBRARIES})
FindXCTest

extension. The Mac Developer Library provides more information in the
Testing with Xcode document.
Module Functions
xctest_add_bundle

<testee> # Target name of the testee
)
xctest_add_test
The xctest_add_test function adds an XCTest bundle to the
project to be run by ctest(1). The test will be named <name> and
tests <bundle>:

DEPRECATED MODULES
Deprecated Utility Modules
CMakeDetermineVSServicePack
Deprecated since version 3.0: Do not use.
The functionality of this module has been superseded by the
CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_VERSION variable that contains the compiler ver-
sion number.
Determine the Visual Studio service pack of the acla in use.
Usage:
if(MSVC)
include(CMakeDetermineVSServicePack)
DetermineVSServicePack( my_service_pack )
if( my_service_pack )
message(STATUS "Detected: ${my_service_pack}")
endif()
endif()
Function DetermineVSServicePack sets the given variable to one of the
following values or an empty string if unknown:
vc80, vc80sp1
vc90, vc90sp1
vc100, vc100sp1
vc110, vc110sp1, vc110sp2, vc110sp3, vc110sp4
CMakeExpandImportedTargets
Deprecated since version 3.4: Do not use.
This module was once needed to expand imported targets to the underly-
ing libraries they reference on disk for use with the try_compile() and
try_run() commands. These commands now support imported libraries in
their LINK_LIBRARIES options (since CMake 2.8.11 for try_compile() and
since CMake 3.2 for try_run()).
This module does not support the policy CMP0022 NEW behavior or use of
the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property because generator expressions
cannot be evaluated during configuration.
CMAKE_EXPAND_IMPORTED_TARGETS(<var> LIBRARIES lib1 lib2...libN
[CONFIGURATION <config>])
CMAKE_EXPAND_IMPORTED_TARGETS() takes a list of libraries and replaces
all imported targets contained in this list with their actual file
paths of the referenced libraries on disk, including the libraries from
their link interfaces. If a CONFIGURATION is given, it uses the
respective configuration of the imported targets if it exists. If no
CONFIGURATION is given, it uses the first configuration from
${CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES} if set, otherwise ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}.
cmake_expand_imported_targets(expandedLibs
LIBRARIES ${CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES}
CONFIGURATION "${CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_CONFIGURATION}" )
CMakeForceCompiler
Deprecated since version 3.6: Do not use.
The macros provided by this module were once intended for use by
cross-compiling toolchain files when CMake was not able to automati-
cally detect the compiler identification. Since the introduction of
this module, CMakeas compiler identification capabilities have improved
and can now be taught to recognize any compiler. Furthermore, the
suite of information CMake detects from a compiler is now too extensive
to be provided by toolchain files using these macros.
One common use case for this module was to skip CMakeas checks for a
working compiler when using a cross-compiler that cannot link binaries
without special flags or custom linker scripts. This case is now sup-
ported by setting the CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE variable in the
toolchain file instead.
----
Macro CMAKE_FORCE_C_COMPILER has the following signature:
CMAKE_FORCE_C_COMPILER(<compiler> <compiler-id>)
It sets CMAKE_C_COMPILER to the given compiler and the cmake internal
variable CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID to the given compiler-id. It also
bypasses the check for working compiler and basic compiler information
tests.
Macro CMAKE_FORCE_CXX_COMPILER has the following signature:
CMAKE_FORCE_CXX_COMPILER(<compiler> <compiler-id>)
It sets CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to the given compiler and the cmake internal
variable CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID to the given compiler-id. It also
bypasses the check for working compiler and basic compiler information
tests.
Macro CMAKE_FORCE_Fortran_COMPILER has the following signature:
CMAKE_FORCE_Fortran_COMPILER(<compiler> <compiler-id>)
It sets CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER to the given compiler and the cmake
internal variable CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER_ID to the given compiler-id.
It also bypasses the check for working compiler and basic compiler
information tests.
So a simple toolchain file could look like this:
include (CMakeForceCompiler)
set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Generic)
CMAKE_FORCE_C_COMPILER (chc12 MetrowerksHicross)
CMAKE_FORCE_CXX_COMPILER (chc12 MetrowerksHicross)
CMakeParseArguments
This module once implemented the cmake_parse_arguments() command that
is now implemented natively by CMake. It is now an empty placeholder
for compatibility with projects that include it to get the command from
CMake 3.4 and lower.
MacroAddFileDependencies
MACRO_ADD_FILE_DEPENDENCIES(<_file> depend_filesa|)
Using the macro MACRO_ADD_FILE_DEPENDENCIES() is discouraged. There
are usually better ways to specify the correct dependencies.
MACRO_ADD_FILE_DEPENDENCIES(<_file> depend_filesa|) is just a conve-
nience wrapper around the OBJECT_DEPENDS source file property. You can
just use set_property(SOURCE <file> APPEND PROPERTY OBJECT_DEPENDS
depend_files) instead.
TestCXXAcceptsFlag
Deprecated since version 3.0: See CheckCXXCompilerFlag.
Check if the CXX compiler accepts a flag.
CHECK_CXX_ACCEPTS_FLAG(<flags> <variable>)
<flags>
the flags to try
<variable>
variable to store the result
UsePkgConfig
Obsolete pkg-config module for CMake, use FindPkgConfig instead.
This module defines the following macro:
PKGCONFIG(package includedir libdir linkflags cflags)
Calling PKGCONFIG will fill the desired information into the 4 given
arguments, e.g. PKGCONFIG(libart-2.0 LIBART_INCLUDE_DIR
LIBART_LINK_DIR LIBART_LINK_FLAGS LIBART_CFLAGS) if pkg-config was NOT
found or the specified software package doesnat exist, the variable
will be empty when the function returns, otherwise they will contain
the respective information
Use_wxWindows
Deprecated since version 2.8.10: Use find_package(wxWidgets) and
include(${wxWidgets_USE_FILE}) instead.
This convenience include finds if wxWindows is installed and set the
appropriate libs, incdirs, flags etc. author Jan Woetzel <jw -at-
mip.informatik.uni-kiel.de> (07/2003)
USAGE:
just include Use_wxWindows.cmake
in your projects CMakeLists.txt
include( ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH}/Use_wxWindows.cmake)
if you are sure you need GL then
set(WXWINDOWS_USE_GL 1)
*before* you include this file.
WriteBasicConfigVersionFile
Deprecated since version 3.0: Use the identical command
write_basic_package_version_file() from module CMakePackageCon-
figHelpers.
WRITE_BASIC_CONFIG_VERSION_FILE( filename
[VERSION major.minor.patch]
COMPATIBILITY (AnyNewerVersion|SameMajorVersion|SameMinorVersion|ExactVersion)
[ARCH_INDEPENDENT]
)
Deprecated Find Modules
FindCUDA
Deprecated since version 3.10: Superseded by first-class support for
the CUDA language in CMake. Superseded by the FindCUDAToolkit for CUDA
toolkit libraries.
Replacement
It is no longer necessary to use this module or call find_package(CUDA)
for compiling CUDA code. Instead, list CUDA among the languages named
in the top-level call to the project() command, or call the enable_lan-
guage() command with CUDA. Then one can add CUDA (.cu) sources to pro-
grams directly in calls to add_library() and add_executable().
To find and use the CUDA toolkit libraries the FindCUDAToolkit module
has superseded this module. It works whether or not the CUDA language
is enabled.
Documentation of Deprecated Usage
Tools for building CUDA C files: libraries and build dependencies.
This script locates the NVIDIA CUDA C tools. It should work on Linux,
Windows, and macOS and should be reasonably up to date with CUDA C
releases.
This script makes use of the standard find_package() arguments of <VER-
SION>, REQUIRED and QUIET. CUDA_FOUND will report if an acceptable
version of CUDA was found.
The script will prompt the user to specify CUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR if the
prefix cannot be determined by the location of nvcc in the system path
and REQUIRED is specified to find_package(). To use a different
installed version of the toolkit set the environment variable
CUDA_BIN_PATH before running cmake (e.g.
CUDA_BIN_PATH=/usr/local/cuda1.0 instead of the default
/usr/local/cuda) or set CUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR after configuring. If
you change the value of CUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR, various components that
depend on the path will be relocated.
It might be necessary to set CUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR manually on certain
platforms, or to use a CUDA runtime not installed in the default loca-
tion. In newer versions of the toolkit the CUDA library is included
with the graphics driver a be sure that the driver version matches what
is needed by the CUDA runtime version.
The following variables affect the behavior of the macros in the script
(in alphabetical order). Note that any of these flags can be changed
multiple times in the same directory before calling CUDA_ADD_EXE-
CUTABLE, CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY, CUDA_COMPILE, CUDA_COMPILE_PTX, CUDA_COM-
PILE_FATBIN, CUDA_COMPILE_CUBIN or CUDA_WRAP_SRCS:
CUDA_64_BIT_DEVICE_CODE (Default matches host bit size)
-- Set to ON to compile for 64 bit device code, OFF for 32 bit device code.
Note that making this different from the host code when generating object
or C files from CUDA code just won't work, because size_t gets defined by
nvcc in the generated source. If you compile to PTX and then load the
file yourself, you can mix bit sizes between device and host.
CUDA_ATTACH_VS_BUILD_RULE_TO_CUDA_FILE (Default ON)
-- Set to ON if you want the custom build rule to be attached to the source
file in Visual Studio. Turn OFF if you add the same cuda file to multiple
targets.
This allows the user to build the target from the CUDA file; however, bad
things can happen if the CUDA source file is added to multiple targets.
When performing parallel builds it is possible for the custom build
command to be run more than once and in parallel causing cryptic build
errors. VS runs the rules for every source file in the target, and a
source can have only one rule no matter how many projects it is added to.
When the rule is run from multiple targets race conditions can occur on
the generated file. Eventually everything will get built, but if the user
is unaware of this behavior, there may be confusion. It would be nice if
this script could detect the reuse of source files across multiple targets
and turn the option off for the user, but no good solution could be found.
CUDA_BUILD_CUBIN (Default OFF)
-- Set to ON to enable and extra compilation pass with the -cubin option in
Device mode. The output is parsed and register, shared memory usage is
printed during build.
CUDA_BUILD_EMULATION (Default OFF for device mode)
-- Set to ON for Emulation mode. -D_DEVICEEMU is defined for CUDA C files
when CUDA_BUILD_EMULATION is TRUE.
CUDA_LINK_LIBRARIES_KEYWORD (Default "")
-- The <PRIVATE|PUBLIC|INTERFACE> keyword to use for internal
target_link_libraries calls. The default is to use no keyword which
uses the old "plain" form of target_link_libraries. Note that is matters
because whatever is used inside the FindCUDA module must also be used
outside - the two forms of target_link_libraries cannot be mixed.
CUDA_GENERATED_OUTPUT_DIR (Default CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR)
-- Set to the path you wish to have the generated files placed. If it is
blank output files will be placed in CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR.
Intermediate files will always be placed in
CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR/CMakeFiles.
CUDA_HOST_COMPILATION_CPP (Default ON)
-- Set to OFF for C compilation of host code.
CUDA_HOST_COMPILER (Default CMAKE_C_COMPILER)
-- Set the host compiler to be used by nvcc. Ignored if -ccbin or
--compiler-bindir is already present in the CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS or
CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS_<CONFIG> variables. For Visual Studio targets,
the host compiler is constructed with one or more visual studio macros
such as $(VCInstallDir), that expands out to the path when
the command is run from within VS.
If the CUDAHOSTCXX environment variable is set it will
be used as the default.
CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS
CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS_<CONFIG>
-- Additional NVCC command line arguments. NOTE: multiple arguments must be
semi-colon delimited (e.g. --compiler-options;-Wall)
CUDA_PROPAGATE_HOST_FLAGS (Default ON)
-- Set to ON to propagate CMAKE_{C,CXX}_FLAGS and their configuration
dependent counterparts (e.g. CMAKE_C_FLAGS_DEBUG) automatically to the
host compiler through nvcc's -Xcompiler flag. This helps make the
generated host code match the rest of the system better. Sometimes
certain flags give nvcc problems, and this will help you turn the flag
propagation off. This does not affect the flags supplied directly to nvcc
via CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS or through the OPTION flags specified through
CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY, CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE, or CUDA_WRAP_SRCS. Flags used for
shared library compilation are not affected by this flag.
CUDA_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION (Default OFF)
-- If set this will enable separable compilation for all CUDA runtime object
files. If used outside of CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE and CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY
(e.g. calling CUDA_WRAP_SRCS directly),
CUDA_COMPUTE_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION_OBJECT_FILE_NAME and
CUDA_LINK_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION_OBJECTS should be called.
CUDA_SOURCE_PROPERTY_FORMAT
-- If this source file property is set, it can override the format specified
to CUDA_WRAP_SRCS (OBJ, PTX, CUBIN, or FATBIN). If an input source file
is not a .cu file, setting this file will cause it to be treated as a .cu
file. See documentation for set_source_files_properties on how to set
this property.
CUDA_USE_STATIC_CUDA_RUNTIME (Default ON)
-- When enabled the static version of the CUDA runtime library will be used
in CUDA_LIBRARIES. If the version of CUDA configured doesn't support
this option, then it will be silently disabled.
CUDA_VERBOSE_BUILD (Default OFF)
-- Set to ON to see all the commands used when building the CUDA file. When
using a Makefile generator the value defaults to VERBOSE (run make
VERBOSE=1 to see output), although setting CUDA_VERBOSE_BUILD to ON will
always print the output.
The script creates the following macros (in alphabetical order):
CUDA_ADD_CUFFT_TO_TARGET( cuda_target )
-- Adds the cufft library to the target (can be any target). Handles whether
you are in emulation mode or not.
CUDA_ADD_CUBLAS_TO_TARGET( cuda_target )
-- Adds the cublas library to the target (can be any target). Handles
whether you are in emulation mode or not.
CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE( cuda_target file0 file1 ...
[WIN32] [MACOSX_BUNDLE] [EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL] [OPTIONS ...] )
-- Creates an executable "cuda_target" which is made up of the files
specified. All of the non CUDA C files are compiled using the standard
build rules specified by CMAKE and the cuda files are compiled to object
files using nvcc and the host compiler. In addition CUDA_INCLUDE_DIRS is
added automatically to include_directories(). Some standard CMake target
calls can be used on the target after calling this macro
(e.g. set_target_properties and target_link_libraries), but setting
properties that adjust compilation flags will not affect code compiled by
nvcc. Such flags should be modified before calling CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE,
CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY or CUDA_WRAP_SRCS.
CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY( cuda_target file0 file1 ...
[STATIC | SHARED | MODULE] [EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL] [OPTIONS ...] )
-- Same as CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE except that a library is created.
CUDA_BUILD_CLEAN_TARGET()
-- Creates a convenience target that deletes all the dependency files
generated. You should make clean after running this target to ensure the
dependency files get regenerated.
CUDA_COMPILE( generated_files file0 file1 ... [STATIC | SHARED | MODULE]
[OPTIONS ...] )
-- Returns a list of generated files from the input source files to be used
with ADD_LIBRARY or ADD_EXECUTABLE.
CUDA_COMPILE_PTX( generated_files file0 file1 ... [OPTIONS ...] )
-- Returns a list of PTX files generated from the input source files.
CUDA_COMPILE_FATBIN( generated_files file0 file1 ... [OPTIONS ...] )
-- Returns a list of FATBIN files generated from the input source files.
CUDA_COMPILE_CUBIN( generated_files file0 file1 ... [OPTIONS ...] )
-- Returns a list of CUBIN files generated from the input source files.
CUDA_COMPUTE_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION_OBJECT_FILE_NAME( output_file_var
cuda_target
object_files )
-- Compute the name of the intermediate link file used for separable
compilation. This file name is typically passed into
CUDA_LINK_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION_OBJECTS. output_file_var is produced
based on cuda_target the list of objects files that need separable
compilation as specified by object_files. If the object_files list is
empty, then output_file_var will be empty. This function is called
automatically for CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY and CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE. Note that
this is a function and not a macro.
CUDA_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES( path0 path1 ... )
-- Sets the directories that should be passed to nvcc
(e.g. nvcc -Ipath0 -Ipath1 ... ). These paths usually contain other .cu
files.
CUDA_LINK_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION_OBJECTS( output_file_var cuda_target
nvcc_flags object_files)
-- Generates the link object required by separable compilation from the given
object files. This is called automatically for CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE and
CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY, but can be called manually when using CUDA_WRAP_SRCS
directly. When called from CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY or CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE the
nvcc_flags passed in are the same as the flags passed in via the OPTIONS
argument. The only nvcc flag added automatically is the bitness flag as
specified by CUDA_64_BIT_DEVICE_CODE. Note that this is a function
instead of a macro.
CUDA_SELECT_NVCC_ARCH_FLAGS(out_variable [target_CUDA_architectures])
-- Selects GPU arch flags for nvcc based on target_CUDA_architectures
target_CUDA_architectures : Auto | Common | All | LIST(ARCH_AND_PTX ...)
- "Auto" detects local machine GPU compute arch at runtime.
- "Common" and "All" cover common and entire subsets of architectures
ARCH_AND_PTX : NAME | NUM.NUM | NUM.NUM(NUM.NUM) | NUM.NUM+PTX
NAME: Fermi Kepler Maxwell Kepler+Tegra Kepler+Tesla Maxwell+Tegra Pascal
NUM: Any number. Only those pairs are currently accepted by NVCC though:
2.0 2.1 3.0 3.2 3.5 3.7 5.0 5.2 5.3 6.0 6.2
Returns LIST of flags to be added to CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS in ${out_variable}
Additionally, sets ${out_variable}_readable to the resulting numeric list
Example:
CUDA_SELECT_NVCC_ARCH_FLAGS(ARCH_FLAGS 3.0 3.5+PTX 5.2(5.0) Maxwell)
LIST(APPEND CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS ${ARCH_FLAGS})
More info on CUDA architectures: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA
Note that this is a function instead of a macro.
CUDA_WRAP_SRCS ( cuda_target format generated_files file0 file1 ...
[STATIC | SHARED | MODULE] [OPTIONS ...] )
-- This is where all the magic happens. CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE,
CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY, CUDA_COMPILE, and CUDA_COMPILE_PTX all call this
function under the hood.
Given the list of files (file0 file1 ... fileN) this macro generates
custom commands that generate either PTX or linkable objects (use "PTX" or
"OBJ" for the format argument to switch). Files that don't end with .cu
or have the HEADER_FILE_ONLY property are ignored.
The arguments passed in after OPTIONS are extra command line options to
give to nvcc. You can also specify per configuration options by
specifying the name of the configuration followed by the options. General
options must precede configuration specific options. Not all
configurations need to be specified, only the ones provided will be used.
OPTIONS -DFLAG=2 "-DFLAG_OTHER=space in flag"
DEBUG -g
RELEASE --use_fast_math
RELWITHDEBINFO --use_fast_math;-g
MINSIZEREL --use_fast_math
For certain configurations (namely VS generating object files with
CUDA_ATTACH_VS_BUILD_RULE_TO_CUDA_FILE set to ON), no generated file will
be produced for the given cuda file. This is because when you add the
cuda file to Visual Studio it knows that this file produces an object file
and will link in the resulting object file automatically.
This script will also generate a separate cmake script that is used at
build time to invoke nvcc. This is for several reasons.
1. nvcc can return negative numbers as return values which confuses
Visual Studio into thinking that the command succeeded. The script now
checks the error codes and produces errors when there was a problem.
2. nvcc has been known to not delete incomplete results when it
encounters problems. This confuses build systems into thinking the
target was generated when in fact an unusable file exists. The script
now deletes the output files if there was an error.
3. By putting all the options that affect the build into a file and then
make the build rule dependent on the file, the output files will be
regenerated when the options change.
This script also looks at optional arguments STATIC, SHARED, or MODULE to
determine when to target the object compilation for a shared library.
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is ignored in CUDA_WRAP_SRCS, but it is respected in
CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY. On some systems special flags are added for building
objects intended for shared libraries. A preprocessor macro,
<target_name>_EXPORTS is defined when a shared library compilation is
detected.
Flags passed into add_definitions with -D or /D are passed along to nvcc.
The script defines the following variables:
CUDA_VERSION_MAJOR -- The major version of cuda as reported by nvcc.
CUDA_VERSION_MINOR -- The minor version.
CUDA_VERSION
CUDA_VERSION_STRING -- CUDA_VERSION_MAJOR.CUDA_VERSION_MINOR
CUDA_HAS_FP16 -- Whether a short float (float16,fp16) is supported.
CUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR -- Path to the CUDA Toolkit (defined if not set).
CUDA_SDK_ROOT_DIR -- Path to the CUDA SDK. Use this to find files in the
SDK. This script will not directly support finding
specific libraries or headers, as that isn't
supported by NVIDIA. If you want to change
libraries when the path changes see the
FindCUDA.cmake script for an example of how to clear
these variables. There are also examples of how to
use the CUDA_SDK_ROOT_DIR to locate headers or
libraries, if you so choose (at your own risk).
CUDA_INCLUDE_DIRS -- Include directory for cuda headers. Added automatically
for CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE and CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY.
CUDA_LIBRARIES -- Cuda RT library.
CUDA_CUFFT_LIBRARIES -- Device or emulation library for the Cuda FFT
implementation (alternative to:
CUDA_ADD_CUFFT_TO_TARGET macro)

FindPythonInterp
Deprecated since version 3.12: Use FindPython3, FindPython2 or Find-
Python instead.
Find python interpreter
This module finds if Python interpreter is installed and determines
where the executables are. This code sets the following variables:
PYTHONINTERP_FOUND - Was the Python executable found
PYTHON_EXECUTABLE - path to the Python interpreter
PYTHON_VERSION_STRING - Python version found e.g. 2.5.2
PYTHON_VERSION_MAJOR - Python major version found e.g. 2
PYTHON_VERSION_MINOR - Python minor version found e.g. 5
PYTHON_VERSION_PATCH - Python patch version found e.g. 2
The Python_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS variable can be used to specify a list
of version numbers that should be taken into account when searching for
Python. You need to set this variable before calling find_pack-
age(PythonInterp).
If calling both find_package(PythonInterp) and find_package(Python-
Libs), call find_package(PythonInterp) first to get the currently
active Python version by default with a consistent version of
PYTHON_LIBRARIES.
NOTE:
A call to find_package(PythonInterp ${V}) for python version V may
find a python executable with no version suffix. In this case no
attempt is made to avoid python executables from other versions.
Use FindPython3, FindPython2 or FindPython instead.
FindPythonLibs
Deprecated since version 3.12: Use FindPython3, FindPython2 or Find-
Python instead.
Find python libraries
This module finds if Python is installed and determines where the
include files and libraries are. It also determines what the name of
the library is. This code sets the following variables:
PYTHONLIBS_FOUND - have the Python libs been found
PYTHON_LIBRARIES - path to the python library
PYTHON_INCLUDE_PATH - path to where Python.h is found (deprecated)
PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS - path to where Python.h is found
PYTHON_DEBUG_LIBRARIES - path to the debug library (deprecated)
PYTHONLIBS_VERSION_STRING - version of the Python libs found (since CMake 2.8.8)
The Python_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS variable can be used to specify a list
of version numbers that should be taken into account when searching for
Python. You need to set this variable before calling find_pack-
age(PythonLibs).
If youad like to specify the installation of Python to use, you should
modify the following cache variables:
PYTHON_LIBRARY - path to the python library
PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR - path to where Python.h is found
If calling both find_package(PythonInterp) and find_package(Python-
Libs), call find_package(PythonInterp) first to get the currently
active Python version by default with a consistent version of
PYTHON_LIBRARIES.
FindQt
Searches for all installed versions of Qt3 or Qt4.
This module cannot handle Qt5 or any later versions. For those, see
cmake-qt(7).
This module exists for the find_package() command only if policy
CMP0084 is not set to NEW.
This module should only be used if your project can work with multiple
versions of Qt. If not, you should just directly use FindQt4 or
FindQt3. If multiple versions of Qt are found on the machine, then The
user must set the option DESIRED_QT_VERSION to the version they want to
use. If only one version of qt is found on the machine, then the
DESIRED_QT_VERSION is set to that version and the matching FindQt3 or
FindQt4 module is included. Once the user sets DESIRED_QT_VERSION,
then the FindQt3 or FindQt4 module is included.
QT_REQUIRED if this is set to TRUE then if CMake can
not find Qt4 or Qt3 an error is raised
and a message is sent to the user.
DESIRED_QT_VERSION OPTION is created
QT4_INSTALLED is set to TRUE if qt4 is found.
QT3_INSTALLED is set to TRUE if qt3 is found.
FindwxWindows
Deprecated since version 3.0: Replaced by FindwxWidgets.
Find wxWindows (wxWidgets) installation
This module finds if wxWindows/wxWidgets is installed and determines
where the include files and libraries are. It also determines what the
name of the library is. This code sets the following variables:
WXWINDOWS_FOUND = system has WxWindows
WXWINDOWS_LIBRARIES = path to the wxWindows libraries
on Unix/Linux with additional
linker flags from
"wx-config --libs"
CMAKE_WXWINDOWS_CXX_FLAGS = Compiler flags for wxWindows,
essentially "`wx-config --cxxflags`"
on Linux
WXWINDOWS_INCLUDE_DIR = where to find "wx/wx.h" and "wx/setup.h"
WXWINDOWS_LINK_DIRECTORIES = link directories, useful for rpath on
Unix
WXWINDOWS_DEFINITIONS = extra defines
OPTIONS If you need OpenGL support please
set(WXWINDOWS_USE_GL 1)
in your CMakeLists.txt before you include this file.
HAVE_ISYSTEM - true required to replace -I by -isystem on g++
For convenience include Use_wxWindows.cmake in your projectas CMake-
Lists.txt using include(${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/Use_wxWindows.cmake).
USAGE
set(WXWINDOWS_USE_GL 1)
find_package(wxWindows)
NOTES wxWidgets 2.6.x is supported for monolithic builds e.g. compiled
in wx/build/msw dir as:
nmake -f makefile.vc BUILD=debug SHARED=0 USE_OPENGL=1 MONOLITHIC=1
