I tried install libigl. Although in this tutorial, it says that it does not need installation, my program not found the libraries.
In my local machine with Ubuntu, cmake works fine!
But in Amazon Linux, instance of EC2 not working.
I compile my project with:
cmake3 .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=~/out
And the Error is:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:21 (message):
libigl not found --- You can download it using:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/libigl/libigl.git /home/ec2-user/closer-lambda/../libigl
closer-lamba is the folder of my c++ project
I tried with git clone, and copy paste library from my original project in Ubuntu to Amazon Linux (to into folder project, ec2-user folder, etc), but always I receive the same error.

On macOS 11.0, I downloaded and built g2o (https://github.com/RainerKuemmerle/g2o) and installed it using cmake --install .
I then tried to include it in my own project via CMake like this (CMakeLists.txt):
cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.14)
project (MY-PROJECT)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
# PkgConfig to find other packages easily
find_package(PkgConfig REQUIRED)

find_package(G2O REQUIRED)
message(STATUS "G2O FOUND: ")
message(STATUS ${G2O_FOUND}) # prints 1
message(STATUS "G2O INCLUDE DIRS: ")
message(STATUS ${G2O_INCLUDE_DIRS}) # prints nothing
message(STATUS "G2O Link Libraries: ")
message(STATUS ${G2O_LINK_LIBRARIES}) # prints nothing
message(STATUS "EIGEN3 INCLUDE DIRS: ")
message(STATUS ${EIGEN3_INCLUDE_DIRS}) # prints /usr/local/include/eigen3
CMake sets G2O_FOUND to 1, indicating that it successfully found g2o. However, the other two variables are not set, so the include- and library-files are not found. I solved this by adding
set(G2O_INCLUDE_DIRS
/usr/local/include)
set(G2O_LIBS
/usr/local/lib/libg2o_core.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libg2o_types_slam3d.dylib
#...
)
include_directories(
G2O_INCLUDE_DIRS
)
target_link_libraries(
MY-PROJECT
${G2O_LIBS}
)
to CMakeLists.txt, but I am still curious why CMake did find g2o but not set the variables accordingly.
why CMake did find g2o but not set the variables accordingly.
FindG2O.cmake does not set these variables, so they are not set. The variables checked for G2O_FOUND to be set are G2O_STUFF_LIBRARY AND G2O_CORE_LIBRARY AND G2O_INCLUDE_DIR AND G2O_SOLVERS_FOUND.
There is no rule that find_package has to set _LIBRARIES or _INCLUDE_DIRS variables - every package is a little different, consult that particular package. If writing FindXXX file, use interface or imported libraries instead of variables.
I'm operating under a new learning curve here with c++ and using CMake in Visual Studio. Here is the partial code up until the point where I receive the error:

find_package(Eigen3 REQUIRED)
Once it hits the first find_package is where I encounter the error:

I installed poco using vcpkg in a directory titled vcpkg. Within the vcpkg directory is the libfranka directory, which houses the CMakeLists.txt file that I compile in Visual Studio. Here is an image of that directory:
Finally, here is the tutorial that I am using: https://frankaemika.github.io/docs/installation_windows.html#building-from-source
EDIT:
Per the link I followed the instructions for solving the build dependencies and here is an image of that:
Then I ran the CMakeLists.txt again and in the CMake Settings this is what I see:
Note also that I ran through the install of poco again and I noticed this and am unsure if it could be the source of the problem or if it means nothing (again, this was the out put after running vcpkg install poco):
After this I still receive the same error.
Does anyone see what it is that I am doing incorrectly?
Thank you!
I'm trying to specify to the compiler to ignore all messages + warnings originating from the libs folder, where I keep my external libraries used in my project.
The LLVM library is the main cause of the problem, since the warnings produced fill up the entire screen making it very difficult for me to efficiently identify compile-time errors, etc.
I'm using CMake and have my LLVM 9.0.0 library under the libs folder. I would like to instruct the compiler (using CMake) to ignore all warnings and messages originating from the libs folder.
This is my CMakeLists.txt file:
# General project settings.

option(BUILD_TESTS "Build tests" ON)
if (BUILD_TESTS)
add_subdirectory(libs/googletest)

And below is some of the warnings/messages I'm receiving that are filling up the console.
How can I accomplish this?
I'm trying to build a C++ application which uses the library libpamg0-dev.
I installed it with the following command on my elementaryOS VM.
apt-get install libpam0g-dev
When I try to compile the application, the compiler spits out the following errors:
undefined reference to `pam_start`
undefined reference to `pam_authenticate`
undefined reference to `pam_end`
My CMakeLists.txt looks like this:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(application)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(/home/dnagl/dev/libs/restbed/distribution/include /usr/include/security)

target_link_libraries(application restbed)
Maybe one of you knows how to link the library in the right way.
I have found a nice solution with find_package option from CMake. CMake provides a way to find packages/libraries with specified FindModule.cmake file.
A really good news is that there are a lot of existing module files. You can use this version to find PAM package on Linux. Put it to cmake/modules/ in your project folder and update your CMakeLists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(restbed)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
set(CMAKE_CXX_EXTENSIONS OFF)
# Notify CMake that we have module files to find packages/libs.
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH} "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake/modules/")
find_package(PAM REQUIRED)
# Check if we found PAM.
if (NOT PAM_FOUND)
message(FATAL_ERROR "PAM library was not found.")
endif ()
# Source configuration.
include_directories(
${PAM_INCLUDE_DIR}
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}
)
set(EXECUTABLE_NAME "application")
# Add sources to this project's executable.
add_executable(${EXECUTABLE_NAME}
"main.cpp"
"Utils/Json/Json.cpp"
"Utils/Json/Json.h"
"Utils/Stringhelper/Stringhelper.cpp"

"Rest/Log/RequestLogger.cpp"
"Rest/Log/RequestLogger.h"
"Controller/Authentication/AuthenticationController.cpp"
"Controller/Authentication/AuthenticationController.h"
"Controller/Log/LogController.cpp"
"Controller/Log/LogController.h"
)
target_link_libraries(${EXECUTABLE_NAME}
${PAM_LIBRARIES}
)
set_target_properties(${EXECUTABLE_NAME} PROPERTIES LINKER_LANGUAGE CXX)
Hope this helps!
I have a little Hello, World style program which I'd like to work on more in end-to-end fashion using CMake. In this case it means I could download Boost libraries, compile them and finally compile my little Hello, World and link the Boost libraries to it.
The Directory layout looks like this currently
cmaketest
|- build //I would like to have here the CMake generated IDE files.
|- src
|- main.cpp
|- hello.cpp
|- hello.hpp
|- depends //I would like to have here the built Boost libraries and headers.
|- downloads //This contains the downloaded zip file.
|- temp //Temporary files.
I have the following CMakeLists.txt, and currently I generate the Visual Studio 2015 project files like so: cmake build -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64". All good and well, I'll start the solution, CMake complains it can't find Boost, goes to download it starts to build (in the following code I've set to fetch a file previously acquired). But then after building for a while, the problems emerge...
The Boost files seem to appear in \cmaketest\CMakeFiles\build\Boost-prefix\src\Boost as the root. How could I these so they'd be built to \depends\boost (or to that effect) and how to include the libraries to be linked to the solution? This linking is a separate problem I have, I know how to include the headers from this strange directory, but it's not really what I want.
It looks like the VS IDE gives first warning the Boost headers aren't to be found (see the main program shortly) first and then starts the Boost build. Can this be avoided?
How to make the Boost library disappear from the VS solution? I.e. not to make a project of it, but just a dependency on headers and libraries?
Is there a built-in way to avoid downloading the Boost package if it is already on the disk? It looks like it will be retrieved in any event, and I've thought about checking the existence of the file.
The main.cpp (I suppose this is the relevant file in this case)
//The Boost headers are included just to check the linker.
#include "hello.hpp"
#include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp>
#include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time_io.hpp>
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
int main()
{
hello helloer;
cout << helloer.greet("World here") << endl;
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
And then the CMakeLists.txt file.

I will attempt to give you some hints, to try to answer your questions.
1) With this snippet you should be able to have sources and built files in the right directories. I kept TMP_DIR "${Cmaketest_SOURCE_DIR}/temp" but in my project I don't use that line.
ExternalProject_Add(Boost
TMP_DIR "${Cmaketest_SOURCE_DIR}/temp"
DOWNLOAD_DIR "${Cmaketest_SOURCE_DIR}/downloads"
URL "${Cmaketest_SOURCE_DIR}/downloads/boost_1_63_0.zip"
URL_HASH "SHA1=${Boost_Sha1}"
SOURCE_DIR ${Cmaketest_SOURCE_DIR}/downloads/boost_1_63_0

CONFIGURE_COMMAND ${Boost_Bootstrap_Command} --without-icu --with_libraries=${Config_Libraries}

--prefix="${Cmaketest_SOURCE_DIR}/depends/boost_1_63_0"
--without-python
--address-model=64
--architecture=x64
--threading=multi
--link=static
--variant=release
--layout=tagged
--build-type=complete
-j${N}
INSTALL_COMMAND ${Boost_b2_Command} --prefix="${Cmaketest_SOURCE_DIR}/depends/boost_1_63_0" --without-python
--address-model=64
--architecture=x64
--threading=multi
--link=static
--variant=release
--layout=tagged
--build-type=complete
-j${N} install
INSTALL_DIR "${Cmaketest_SOURCE_DIR}/depends/boost_1_63_0"
)
set(BOOST_ROOT ${Cmaketest_SOURCE_DIR}/depends/boost_1_63_0)
set(Boost_LIBRARY ${Cmaketest_SOURCE_DIR}/depends/boost_1_63_0/lib)
set(Boost_INCLUDE_DIR ${Cmaketest_SOURCE_DIR}/depends/boost_1_63_0/include)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR})
To notice that you were not calling "install" so once built in that "strange" directory, the files were not moved to the specified prefix. Notice also the use of ${Cmaketest_SOURCE_DIR} instead of the previous.
Try to print both and see if there's a difference.
2) To address the warning you get in case Boost is not found, you should write:
find_package(Boost QUIET)
3) To address this I guess you could not generate project files, i.e. instead of having
cmake build -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64"
just have cmake . or cmake .. depending whether you will do an in-source or an out-of-source build. I suggest doing out-of-source builds, but that's your choice.
4) FindBoost.cmake (FindBoost.cmake) gives you the possibility to pass an arbitrary path to a Boost directory. You could use that at configuration to hint CMake to look for Boost in the location you give, e.g. you would call cmake in the following way:
cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=/path_to_cmaketest_dir/depends/boost_1_63_0 ..
and if your system might be picky you could specify all things:
cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=/path_to_cmaketest_dir/depends/boost_1_63_0 -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR=/path_to_cmaketest_dir/depends/boost_1_63_0/lib DBOOST_INCLUDEDIR=/path_to_cmaketest_dir/depends/boost_1_63_0/include ..
Notice that in the last two snippets I assumed configuration of an out-of-source build.
Also notice that if you already installed or have the Boost package downloaded, using ${Cmaketest_SOURCE_DIR} in the snipped of code in 1) should solve also 4) so when it will not find Boost it will try to download but it will not, since now cmake should be able to see the file (.zip).
Please see CMaker_Boost, build the Boost with the CMake at a configure time. Now it is tested on the Linux and Android, gcc and clang. Other systems are not tested. I hope this helps.
