I'm running RHEL 5.1 and use gcc.
How I tell cmake to add -pthread to compilation and linking?
#Manuel was part way there. You can add the compiler option as well, like this:
If you have CMake 3.1.0+, this becomes even easier:
set(THREADS_PREFER_PTHREAD_FLAG ON)
find_package(Threads REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(my_app PRIVATE Threads::Threads)
If you are using CMake 2.8.12+, you can simplify this to:
find_package(Threads REQUIRED)
if(THREADS_HAVE_PTHREAD_ARG)
target_compile_options(my_app PUBLIC "-pthread")
endif()
if(CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT)
target_link_libraries(my_app "${CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT}")
endif()
Older CMake versions may require:
find_package(Threads REQUIRED)
if(THREADS_HAVE_PTHREAD_ARG)
set_property(TARGET my_app PROPERTY COMPILE_OPTIONS "-pthread")
set_property(TARGET my_app PROPERTY INTERFACE_COMPILE_OPTIONS "-pthread")
endif()
if(CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT)
target_link_libraries(my_app "${CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT}")
endif()
If you want to use one of the first two methods with CMake 3.1+, you will need set(THREADS_PREFER_PTHREAD_FLAG ON) there too.
The following should be clean (using find_package) and work (the find module is called FindThreads):
cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.6)
find_package (Threads)
add_executable (myapp main.cpp ...)
target_link_libraries (myapp ${CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT})
Here is the right anwser:
ADD_EXECUTABLE(your_executable ${source_files})
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES( your_executable
pthread
)
equivalent to
-lpthread
target_compile_options solution above is wrong, it won't link the library.
Use:
SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE} -pthread")
OR
target_link_libraries(XXX PUBLIC pthread)
OR
set_target_properties(XXX PROPERTIES LINK_LIBRARIES -pthread)

I'm developing a cpp project in Clion. For the build I use cmake. Last weekend I upgraded from ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04, from then I cannot build my project and I get the error:
/usr/local/include/boost/system/error_code.hpp:221: undefined reference to `boost::system::generic_category()'. It seems that something in the linking isn't right. I reinstalled all packages, tried different versions but nothing. My CMakeLists.txt is:

Any help is appreciated!
That's a lot of stuff, all randomly ordered and commented out. The obvious error is a failure to link Boost System
I'd go with
FIND_PACKAGE(Boost 1.65.0
COMPONENTS system program_options REQUIRED)
LINK_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS})
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_INLUDE_DIRS})
LINK_LIBRARIES(${Boost_LIBRARIES})
Alternatively you can be specific and link specific libs to specific targets
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(mylib ${Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY})
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(myexecutable ${Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY})

$ locate fftw3.h
/usr/include/fftw3.h
I can compile it in this way:
g++ main.cpp -o main -lfftw3
but I have a problem with cmake.
This is my CMakeLists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5.1)
project (main)
SET(CMAKE_C_COMPILER gcc)
SET(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER g++)
file(GLOB SOURCES "*.cpp")
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-lm -lfftw3")
SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "-lm -lfftw3")
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(/usr/include)
LINK_DIRECTORIES(/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu)
add_library(fftw3 STATIC IMPORTED)
set(CMAKE_C_OUTPUT_EXTENSION_REPLACE 1)
set(CMAKE_CXX_OUTPUT_EXTENSION_REPLACE 1)
add_executable(main ${SOURCES})
cmake . && make
gives
undefined reference to `fftw_malloc'
and the same for the other fftw functions.
The command add_library will create a library in your project (CMake -
add_library). I assume that is not what you want.
The command: g++ main.cpp -o main -lfftw3 will link the executable to the fftw library. In CMake you can reproduce the linking with:
add_executable(main ${SOURCES})
target_link_libraries(main fftw3)
Docu: CMake - target_link_libraries
Notice: It is important that the add_executable command comes before the linking.
Have fun with FFTW :)
We delegate this to pkg-config:
find_package(PkgConfig REQUIRED)
pkg_search_module(FFTW REQUIRED fftw3 IMPORTED_TARGET)
include_directories(PkgConfig::FFTW)
link_libraries (PkgConfig::FFTW)
This works with cmake 3.11 (at least, it may work with earlier versions too).
NOTE: This doesn't work with fftw3_thread component because they don't have a separate .pc file. (see https://github.com/FFTW/fftw3/issues/180).
This may work to add the component (not tested, doesn't work in Macs --see comments--):
link_libraries (PkgConfig::FFTW -lfftw3_thread)
NOTE 2: I am pasting here #OlafWilkocx solution to get the thread component as well

add_executable(solver_step src/solver_step.cc)
target_link_libraries(solver_step PRIVATE OpenMP::OpenMP_CXX ${VTK_LIBRARIES} PkgConfig::FFTW ${FFTW_DOUBLE_THREADS_LIB})
NOTE 3
I am told that the line include_directories(PkgConfig::FFTW) is always incorrect and suggested to either only use link_libraries(PkgConfig::FFTW) or target_link_libraries(target_name PRIVATE PkgConfig::FFTW).

Even though I have set BOOST_ROOT , it fails and gives the Boost Found False Message. What am I doing wrong here?
Edit: I have found that setting Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS to OFF is resolving the issue. But I have to have it ON. What could be wrong here?
Your directory structure needs to look like this:
c:/boost/boost_1_55_0
and BOOST_ROOT is an environment variable set to c:/boost
I have found the reason why this code is not working. As I am giving value ON to Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS, the result is that find_package will look for libboost_thread-vc100-mt-1_55 , which it will not find because building boost will give shared libraries as stated in this link. Refer to pic below:
for a project I need to create an executable that includes all the libraries that I used (opencv, cgal) in order to execute it on a computer that has not those libraries. Currently, this is my CMakeLists.txt (I use linux).
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
#set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG} -Wall")
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE} -Wall -O2")
project( labeling )
set(CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES ".a")
add_library(OpenCV STATIC IMPORTED)
add_library(CGAL STATIC IMPORTED COMPONENTS Core)
add_library(GMP STATIC IMPORTED)
find_package(OpenCV REQUIRED)
find_package(CGAL QUIET COMPONENTS Core )
find_library(GMP_LIBRARY gmp /usr/lib)
include(src)
include( ${CGAL_USE_FILE} )
include( CGAL_CreateSingleSourceCGALProgram )
set(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ../bin)
set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++")
include_directories( src )
include_directories( ${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS} )
file(GLOB_RECURSE nei_SRC "src/*.cpp")
add_executable( nei_segmentation ${nei_SRC})
target_link_libraries( nei_segmentation ${OpenCV_LIBS} ${GMP_LIBRARY})
In such a way only GMP and some other c++ libraries are included in my executable. My question is: How can I create a makefile in order to automatically including all the libraries in a static manner and creating only a "big" executable that contains all the libraries? Can you help me?
As global CMake settings, add these lines before add_executable, valid for gcc/clang:
set(CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES ".a")
set(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS OFF)
set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "-static")
On Modern CMake (3.x+ - target_link_libraries doc), you can apply the flag to specific targets, in this way:
target_link_libraries(your_target_name -static)
If you're using MSVC, you have to set the compiler and linker flags:
set(CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES ".lib")
target_compile_options(your_target_name [PUBLIC|PRIVATE] /MT)
target_link_options(your_target_name [PUBLIC|PRIVATE] /INCREMENTAL:NO /NODEFAULTLIB:MSVCRT)
or alternatively also:
set(CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY "MultiThreaded$<$<CONFIG:Debug>:Debug>")
and if you are using MFC, you need to specify the flag to 1 see here:
set(CMAKE_MFC_FLAG 1)
Add these lines after add_executable(MyExec "main.c") (for example) :
target_link_libraries(MyExec PUBLIC "-static")
or before: link_libraries("-static")
