CMake Can't find Eigen3 - cmake

I have copied FindEigen3.cmake into my source directory.
I then added:
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH} ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR})
to my CMakeLists.txt to tell CMake to use this .cmake file.
Then in my CMakeLists.txt I do:
FIND_PACKAGE(Eigen3)
I have the environent variable EIGEN3_INCLUDE_DIR set to /home/doriad/src/eigen
When I run CMake, I get:
-- Could NOT find Eigen3 (missing: EIGEN3_INCLUDE_DIR EIGEN3_VERSION_OK) (Required is at least version "2.91.0")
This is a fresh clone from Mercurial, so the version should be at least 3.
Any suggestions?
If I set the module path INCORRECTLY, I get some clues:
Adjust CMAKE_MODULE_PATH to find FindEigen3.cmake or set Eigen3_DIR to the
directory containing a CMake configuration file for Eigen3. The file will
have one of the following names:
Eigen3Config.cmake
eigen3-config.cmake
However, I didn't find either of those files in either the source dir or build dir of Eigen3. I tried to set Eigen3_DIR=/home/doriad/src/eigen, but that didn't work either.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
David

It worked for me, when I installed the eigen3 package (e.g. using -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/doriad/install), and also set the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable of the cmake package that is using eigen3 to the same directory.
Because of the problems with findscripts, I've actually started using pkg-config instead. For that you need to enable pkg-config support in the eigen3 cmake, and use the pkg-config macro in your own cmake script. Advantage is that you don't need to set any environment variables anymore.
find_package( PkgConfig )
pkg_check_modules( EIGEN3 REQUIRED eigen3 )
include_directories( ${EIGEN3_INCLUDE_DIRS} )

Why does setting -DVCPKG_TOOLCHAIN_FILE enable me to find packages while set(VCPKG_TOOLCHAIN_FILE ...) does not?

Why is it that when I set the vcpkg toolchain path from the cmake configure command
cmake -DVCPKG_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=D:/vcpkg/script/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake ..
I can use find_package, for instance:
find_package(LibXml2 REQUIRED)
whereas if I want to set a sensible default for the vcpkg toolchain file using a cmake cached variable
set(VCPKG_TOOLCHAIN_FILE D:/vcpkg/script/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake CACHE FILEPATH "vcpkg toolchain path")
then the same find_package command fails with:
CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.18/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:165 (message):
Could NOT find LibXml2 (missing: LIBXML2_INCLUDE_DIR)
what am I missing here?

CMake compiler in path not being found

I'm attempting to compile a program using cmake that gives me the following error(s):
CMake Error at /.../3dg.cmake:8 (enable_language):
The CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:
CC
is not a full path and was not found in the PATH.

I am setting both of these variables in my cmake file with:
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER cc)
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER CC)
Moreover, I can confirm that both of them are in my path and at the correct location.

The cmake file sees the same path as the terminal. I have confirmed that this error goes away if I change my cmake code to:
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER /opt/cray/pe/craype/2.5.14/bin/cc)
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER /opt/cray/pe/craype/2.5.14/bin/CC)
But this is not a long term fix as the actual location of cc/CC depends on which modules I am using and the updated version of the compilers.
Does anyone know what is going on, and how to force cmake to recognize that these compilers are located in the correct location? Thanks.
Go to download page of glfw and download their source package. Now unzip it and enter into the directory.
Now generate the make file with sudo cmake -G "Unix Makefiles".
Now do sudo make and sudo cmake. The install process should be complete.

Build MPICH with CMake

I need to force my Cmake to build and link my MPI code with MPICH. My MPICH is installed using the Ubuntu Package manager, in a standard location /usr/lib/mpich/. However, CMake still looks for the OpenMPI libraries, which I do not use. How can I instruct CMake to look for MPICH instead?
Below, you can see the output of some basic diagnostics:
$ whereis openmpi
openmpi:
$ whereis mpich
mpich: /usr/lib/mpich /usr/include/mpich
$ mpicc -v
mpicc for MPICH version 3.2
Below, I also provide the Cmake script and the errors I get from cmake and the mpirun.mpich. My Cmake is 3.5.1 and I run on Ubuntu Xenial 16.04.
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)
message (STATUS "Adding mpiService")
find_package(MPI REQUIRED)
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER mpicc)
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER mpicxx)
set(MPI_GUESS_LIBRARY_NAME MPICH2)
message(STATUS ${MPI_INCLUDE_PATH})
message(STATUS ${MPI_C_LIBRARIES})
#add_definitions(-DOMPI_SKIP_MPICXX)
add_executable(mpiService main.cpp)
set(CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE ON)
include_directories(SYSTEM ${MPI_INCLUDE_PATH})
target_link_libraries(
mpiService
PRIVATE
${MPI_C_LIBRARIES}
)
From the Cmake STATUS I get the following output:
/usr/lib/openmpi/include/openmpi/opal/mca/event/libevent2021/libevent/usr/lib/openmpi/include/openmpi/opal/mca/event/libevent2021/libevent/include/usr/lib/openmpi/include/usr/lib/openmpi/include/openmpi
/usr/lib/openmpi/lib/libmpi.so
And when I run the binary I get the following:
ubuntu#node1:~$ mpirun.mpich -np 2 --host node1,node2 mpiService
mpiService: error while loading shared libraries: libmpi.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
mpiService: error while loading shared libraries: libmpi.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
How can I instruct CMake to look for MPICH instead?
According to FindMPI documentation, you may set MPI_<lang>_COMPILER variable to the desired MPI compiler:
Set MPI_<lang>_COMPILER to the MPI wrapper (mpicc, etc.) of your
choice and reconfigure. FindMPI will attempt to determine all the
necessary variables using THAT compiler's compile and link flags.
set(MPI_CXX_COMPILER <path-to-mpich-compiler>)
find_package(MPI REQUIRED)
Alternatively, since CMake version 3.10, variable MPI_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX can be set instead:
A suffix which is appended to all names that are being looked for. For instance you may set this to .mpich or .openmpi to prefer the one or the other on Debian and its derivatives.
set(MPI_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX ".mpich")
find_package(MPI REQUIRED)
Herewith my current solution.
find_package(MPI REQUIRED)
# ----------------
# This is the only thing that made it work
# ----------------
set(MPI_C_LIBRARIES "/usr/lib/mpich/lib/libmpich.so")
set(MPI_INCLUDE_PATH "/usr/include/mpich")
# ----------------
add_executable(mpiService main.cpp)
include_directories(SYSTEM ${MPI_INCLUDE_PATH})
target_link_libraries(
mpiService
${MPI_C_LIBRARIES}
)
I personally do not like this solution, as I have to explicitly specify the path. Any other proposed solution was still building with OpenMPI. If I find a better alternative, I will re-post.

CMake FindPackage in add_subdirectory from parent dirs cmake folder

I have a CMake structure:
mainproject/
mainproject/cmake/FindMyPackage.cmake
mainproject/CMakeLists.txt
plugin/
plugin/CMakeLists.txt
and in the above CMakeLists.txt I call
add_subdirectory(${LOOP_SUBDIR}/${subdir} examples/${subdir})
which add the plugin/CMakeLists.txt subdirectory outside the directory defined above.
In this second CMakeLists.txt I call FindPackage(MyPackage REQUIRED)
which give error message:
CMake Error at [...]/plugin/CMakeLists.txt:9 (find_package):
By not providing "FindMyPackage.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "MyPackage", but
CMake did not find one.
Is there any way to make it use the cmake files in the mainproject folder?
Just follow given error message, i.e. this must help:
# CMakeLists.txt
list(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/mainproject/cmake")
add_subdirectory(plugin)

CMake error: For MinGW make to work correctly sh.exe must NOT be in your path

I am trying to built a "Hello World" project with Qt 5 and cmake under MinGW.
This is the CMakeLists.txt file (taken from the on-line doc):
project(Qt5_cmake_test)
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.11)
set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "C:/Qt/Qt5.1.1/5.1.1/mingw48_32")
# Find includes in corresponding build directories
set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)
# Instruct CMake to run moc automatically when needed.
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
# Find the QtWidgets library
find_package(Qt5Widgets)
# Add the source files from the current directory
aux_source_directory(. SRC_LIST)
# Tell CMake to create the executable
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} WIN32 ${SRC_LIST})
# Use the Widgets module from Qt5
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} Qt5::Widgets)
The source code is the one generated automatically when creating a new project (which produces an empty window).
Configuring from the Windows command prompt with: cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" ..\Qt5_cmake_test
I get these errors:
CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeMinGWFindMake.cmake:20 (message):

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
So it seems it is not able to find the compiler. Is there a way to let cmake find it on its own, or just giving it the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH directory?
Do I have to manually specify all those variables in the makefile or as environment variables in Windows?
I tried both from the standard Windows command prompt and from the one provided by Qt, with the same result. Is it OK to build from the Windows command prompt, or should I do it from the MinGW's shell?
Platform:
Qt 5.1
CMake 2.8.11.2
MinGW/GCC 4.8
Windows 7
Get the git path out of your PATH before running cmake.
Here is the magic to do that:
set PATH=%PATH:C:/Program Files (x86)/Git/bin;=%
This CMakeLists.txt file works properly:
project(Qt5_cmake_test)
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.11)
set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "C:/Qt/Qt5.1.1/5.1.1/mingw48_32")
# Find includes in corresponding build directories
set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)
# Instruct CMake to run moc automatically when needed.
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
# Find the Qt libraries
find_package(Qt5Core REQUIRED)
find_package(Qt5Widgets REQUIRED)
# Add the source files from the current directory
aux_source_directory(. SRC_LIST)
# Tell CMake to create the executable
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} WIN32 ${SRC_LIST})
# Use Qt5 modules
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME}
Qt5::Widgets
Qt5::WinMain)
The changes are:
Added find_package(Qt5Core REQUIRED).
Added Qt5::WinMain to target_link_libraries.
In some of my answer here on SO, I have described. CMake does not like sh.exe.
sh.exe was found in your PATH, here:
C:/Program Files (x86)/Git/bin/sh.exe
Solution : Rename C:/Program Files (x86)/Git/bin/sh.exe shortly.
For example:
C:/Program Files (x86)/Git/bin/shxx.exe
But do not forget when everything is built. rename properly again.
