Installing cmake components into different directory - cmake

Let's say I have some component install rules for some executables:
install(TARGETS foo1 DESTINATION bin COMPONENT foo-utils)
install(TARGETS foo2 DESTINATION bin COMPONENT foo-utils)
install(TARGETS foo3 DESTINATION bin COMPONENT foo-utils)
Now, I have my own executable, and I want its install rule to also install all the foo-utils install rules - but instead of bin, I want them to go somewhere else.
add_executable(special ...)
# more options
add_dependencies(special foo1 foo2 foo3)
install(TARGETS special DESTINATION package/bin COMPONENT special)
add_custom_target(package-special
DEPENDS special
COMMAND "${CMAKE_COMMAND}" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT=special -P "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/cmake_install.cmake"
COMMAND "${CMAKE_COMMAND}" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT=foo-utils -P "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/cmake_install.cmake"
)
This works great, except building package-special produces:
$ tree install
install
├── bin
│   ├── foo1
│   ├── foo2
│   └── foo3
└── package
└── bin
└── special
How do I get it to produce:
$ tree install
install
└── package
└── bin
├── foo1
├── foo2
├── foo3
└── special
I will have multiple different specials that depend on the foo-utils, and I would like each package-special to install the foo-utils into a different directory. The foo-utils are also in a separate project from the specials, so I cannot install(TARGETS ...) the foo-utils.

cmake_install.cmake uses a default install prefix if one doesn't already exist.
# Set the install prefix
if(NOT DEFINED CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX)
set(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX "/usr/local")
endif()
As such, you can specify a value prior to calling the script for your foo-utils installation command.
add_custom_target(package-special
DEPENDS special
COMMAND "${CMAKE_COMMAND}"
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT=special
-P "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/cmake_install.cmake"
COMMAND "${CMAKE_COMMAND}"
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT=foo-utils
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/package/bin" # <-- here
-P "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/cmake_install.cmake"
)

Can I make a CMake target dependent upon a target in another CMake project?

I have two separate projects, but one of them must now incorporate aspects of the other, including the generation of some code, which done by a Python script which is called by CMake.
Here is my project structure:
repo/
├── project_top/
│ ├── stuff_and_things.cpp
│ └── CMakeLists.txt
│
└── submods/
└── project_bottom/
├── CMakeLists.txt
└── tools/
├── build_scripts
│ └── cmake_bits.cmake
└── generator
└── gen_code.py
In repo/submods/project_bottom/tools/build_scripts/cmake_bits.cmake there is a macro set_up_additional_targets(), which includes a custom target which runs repo/submods/project_bottom/tools/generator/gen_code.py in that directory. This is based on project_bottom being its own project.
add_custom_target(gen_code
COMMAND echo "Generating code"
COMMAND python3 gen_code.py args
WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/tools/generator
)
Now, I need to make a new target in project_top dependent upon the gen_code target in project_bottom. How do I do this? The gen_code target needs to be run as part of the project_top build, but within the context of project_bottom, because for that target, ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} needs to be repo/submods/project_bottom, not repo/project_top.

Bitbake create cmake recipe from local sources

I'm trying to build a helloworld package example with a cmake recipe. My problem is bitbake give me an error because it can't find CMakeLists.txt in the /tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux/helloworld/0.1-r0 folder.
The error :
helloworld-0.1-r0 do_configure: Execution of '/path-to-tmp/tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux/helloworld/0.1-r0/temp/run.do_configure.28001' failed with exit code 1:
CMake Error: The source directory "/path-to-tmp/tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux/helloworld/0.1-r0/files" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
My package is in my layer meta-mylayer/recipes-core/helloworld :
meta-mylayer/
├── conf

├── README
└── recipes-core
└── helloworld
   ├── files
   │   ├── CMakeLists.txt
   │   └── main_helloworld.c
   └── helloworld_0.1.bb
My CMakeLists.txt :
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.4)
project(helloworld)
file(GLOB_RECURSE files/*.c)
add_executable(app ${src_files})
install(TARGETS helloworld DESTINATION bin)
My helloworld_0.1.bb :

inherit pkgconfig cmake
I can't find my files in /path-to-tmp/tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux/helloworld/0.1-r0/*
Why files are not copied? I'm using yocto Dunfell.
Thanks for your help.
When you have files in SRC_URI they are installed in ${WORKDIR}.
The following recipe will do the trick:
DESCRIPTION="This is my package helloworld"
LICENSE="CLOSED"
SRC_URI+="file://CMakeLists.txt file://main_helloworld.c"
S="${WORKDIR}"
inherit pkgconfig cmake
Also, your CMakeLists.txt should not find files in files directory.
S is set to ${WORKDIR} because this is where the files from the file:// fetcher are put by default.
DEPENDS already has cmake-native in it from the cmake bbclass you inherited. You don't need to depends on cmake, because you depends on cmake-native (you need to execute cmake at build time, you don't need cmake headers or sources).
The FILESEXTRAPATHS that was added is already by default used by bitbake (and it's also not matching your directory layout).
PN and PV are gotten from the filename of the bb recipe, no need to set them again.

CMake error : "include could not find load file GoogleTest"

I have a problem with adding googletests to CMakeLists.txt.
The problem is "Error:include could not find load file:
GoogleTest".
I have installed google tests using the commands:
sudo apt-get install libgtest-dev
sudo apt-get install cmake # install cmake
cd /usr/src/gtest
sudo cmake CMakeLists.txt
sudo make
sudo cp *.a /usr/lib
These commands I took from here.
There is my CMakeLists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.6.2)
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER clang++)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
project(compiler)
include_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR})
find_package(FLEX REQUIRED)
FLEX_TARGET(lexer src/lexer.fl ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/lexer.cpp)
find_package(GTest REQUIRED)
include(GoogleTest) <- There is a problem!
add_executable(run_tests src/tests/test.cpp src/main.h ${FLEX_lexer_OUTPUTS})
target_include_directories(run_tests PUBLIC ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR})
target_link_libraries(run_tests ${GTEST_LIBRARIES} stdc++fs)
#gtest_add_tests(TARGET run_tests)
add_executable(compiler src/main.h src/main.cpp src/common.h ${FLEX_lexer_OUTPUTS})
I will be really appreciate if you give me an advice!
If you already got libgtest installed, just add following in your CMakeLists.txt:
target_link_libraries($YOUR_TARGTET gtest)
But! I think you made it too complicated.
It's better to include the googletest source code directlly into your project as a third party library. I will go here this way here and after.
As you involved 'apt-get' in your code example, I assume you are on Debian or Debian decendants. Well, of caurse actually it does not matter which OS you are on.
Clone the googletest source code(check previous for link) into your project, add following into your main CMakeLists.txt:
add_subdirectory(googletest)
add following into sub-cmake projects where you are going to need gtest:
include_directories(${PARENT_PATH_OF_GTEST}/googltest/googltest/include)
# ...
target_link_libraries($YOUR_TARGET gtest)
e.g.
Let's say you have a project with following structure:
.
├── assets
│   └── ...
├── bin
│   ├── CMakeLists.txt
│   └── ...
├── CMakeLists.txt <== Your main CmakeLists.txt
├── src
│   ├── CMakeLists.txt
│   └── ...
├── tests <== Test cases
│   ├── CMakeLists.txt
│   └── ...
└── third_party
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── googletest <=== gtest
└── ...
In your main CMakeLists.txt, you should have:
add_subdirectory(tests)
add_subdirectory(third_party)
# ...
In the third_party CMakeLists.txt:
add_subdirectory(googletest)
# ...
In the tests CMakeLists.txt:
include_directories(${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/third_party/googltest/googltest/include)
# ...
add_executable(my_test...)
target_link_libraries(my_test gtest)
# ...
A better example
Here is a video example for Gtest in CLion from Jetbrains. As CLion actually bases on CMake, so it also clearlly shows you how to integrate GTest into CMake.

Getting sysroot directory with cmake in yocto

I have a few libraries/applications (supplied by a third party vendor, so changing them is not really an option) that are built in a non standard way. Basically, there are libraries that link to other libraries in a weird way.
Here's what I'm talking about:
.
├── libA
│   ├── include
│   │   └── headerA.h
│   └── src
└── libB
   ├── include
   │   └── headerB.h
   └── src
libA includes libB headers using the "" syntax, i.e. #include "headerB.h
" and -I compile option is passed to include the libB/include/ directory. However, linking to libA poses a problem, because I need to include libB include directory as well.
That's not a huge problem, because the headers get installed into the targets sysroot. Let's say the libB headers are installed into ${SYSROOT}/usr/include/libB.
Now, for some reason the sysroot directory is passed using the ${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} instead of ${CMAKE_SYSROOT} as it probably should. I tried parsing ${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} to get the sysroot like this:
execute_process(COMMAND "echo \"${CMAKE_C_FLAGS}\""
COMMAND "grep -Eo '\\-\\-sysroot=\\S*'"
COMMAND "sed 's:--sysroot=::g'"
OUTPUT_VARIABLE SYSROOT
RESULT_VARIABLE SYSROOT_RESULT
)
However, this always fails with "No such file or directory". I figured it's failing to one of the commands, i.e. either echo, grep or sed. How do I fix this? Or maybe there's a better way altogether?

No tests found when using gtest with cmake/ctest

I have a project with the following structure:
linalg
├── build
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── docs
│   └── Doxyfile
├── include
│   └── linalg
│   └── vector3.hpp
├── src
│   ├── CMakeLists.txt
│   └── linalg
│   └── vector3.cpp
└── test
├── CMakeLists.txt
└── linalg
└── test_vector3.cpp
The file test_vector3.cpp is a gtest unit test file which provides two simple tests. The top level CMakeLists.txt simply sets up the includes and adds the src and test subdirectories:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
project(linalg)
include_directories(include)
add_subdirectory(src)
add_subdirectory(test)
The src/CMakeLists.txt file compiles vector3.cpp into a static library:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
add_library(linalg linalg/vector3.cpp)
The test/CMakeLists.txt file is based on the example provided in /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindGTest.cmake:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
enable_testing()
find_package(GTest REQUIRED)
include_directories(${GTEST_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(test_vector3 linalg/test_vector3.cpp)
target_link_libraries(test_vector3 linalg ${GTEST_BOTH_LIBRARIES} pthread)
add_test(test_vector3 test_vector3)
I then run the following:
cd build
cmake ..
make
I get the liblinalg.a library compiled correctly in to build/src and I get the test_vector3 executable compiled correctly in to build/test. I can run the test_vector3 executable and I get the output from googletest saying that all tests have passed, however if I run make test I get no output whatsoever and if I run ctest .. I get a message saying:
Test project /home/ryan/GitHub/linalg/build
No tests were found!!!
Is there something I am missing? Or have I just misunderstood how ctest works with gtest?
The crux of the problem is that enable_testing should be called from your top-level CMakeLists.txt in this case. Adding include(CTest) to your top-level CMakeLists.txt should fix this for you.
This would allow you to remove the enable_testing call in test/CMakeLists.txt, since the CTest submodule calls enable_testing internally.
Just to update this.
cmake in version 3.9 added support for GoogleTest integration with CTest.
So you can now get CTest to scrape all of the test macros in your test executable, not just the whole executable.
