CMake Visual Studio Solution Setup - c++

To begin with, I'm new to CMake.
The project is for the Windows and Linux platform.

The first of these files is for the root project and the second one is for "Project 1" and "Project 2" as just one line is different in the second file.

Note: "Project 1" is a library while "Project 2" is an executable and "Project 2" will be based on Project 1. Think of it as "Project 1" is an Engine and "Project 2" is the Game.
Question
Having this setup, from which folder do I have to call CMake from to be able to open the solution "root_project" in Visual Studio 2017 which contains both projects, "Project 1" and "Project 2". cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64"
How to put the binaries into the Debug folder when compiling in Debug mode and how to put them in the Release folder when compiling in Release mode? The Release and Debug folders are there to differentiate between Release and Debug builds like Visual Studio does.

I would try opening the root_project folder directly from the Developer Command Prompt, as per the instructions here:
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/10/05/cmake-support-in-visual-studio/
cd root_project
devenv .
This built-in support dumps your binaries somewhere under a temp directory in %APPDATA%, so I added the following in my top-level CMakeLists.txt file to dump the binaries out to a specific folder:
# My understanding of what the output types mean. Check CMAKE documentation
# to confirm:
# ARCHIVE: Static & Import Library directory
# LIBRARY: DLL directory (MODULE)
# RUNTIME: DLL directory (SHARED)
# If you use these lines, VS will automatically create Debug and Release dirs
# under the directories you provide.
set (CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/../lib")
set (CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/../dll")
# In my project I want Debug and Release to clobber each other because
# I am building a DLL that I want to deploy next to an existing exe that
# loads it, so I explicitly point both scenarios to the same place
# (note the "_DEBUG" and "_RELEASE" suffixes to CMAKE_xxx_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY)
set(CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_DEBUG "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/../lib")
set(CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_DEBUG "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/../lib")
set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_DEBUG "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/../dll")
set(CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_RELEASE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/../lib")
set(CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_RELEASE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/../lib")
set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_RELEASE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/../dll")

CMake linking libraries into one single library

I used CMake to compile a framework into three different .lib files, and one .sln file. The project is structured as such
UeiDaqFramework
|-CMakeLists.txt
|-build
| |-Framework_static.sln
| | - other cmake files and stuff
|-UeiDaqCore
| |-CMakeLists.txt
| |-source code for this subproject
|-UeiSimuDriver
| |-CMakeLists.txt
| |-source code for this subproject
|-UeiPDNADriver
| |-CMakeLists.txt
| |-source code for this subproject
|
|-Output
|-UeiDaqCore.lib
|-UeiSimuDriver.lib
|-UeiPDNADriver.lib
My test code require a Framework_static.lib in its include file instead of a .sln file, and I do not know how to combine the three existing .lib files using cmake. I did attempt to follow what this CMake - combine multiple libraries into one answer suggested, by just building all the source files into a single library, but I'm new to CMake, and it did not work. Here is the CmakeLists.txt file at the top directory of my project.

These CMakeLists.txt files were generated automatically by a generator that takes a visual studio .sln file and converts it to a .txt tree. Heres the link to the converter if anyone is interested. https://cmakeconverter.readthedocs.io/en/develop/intro.html
Im not sure if I need to rewrite Just the top level .txt file, or if I need to rewrite all the CMakeLists.txt files. Any help would be appreciated.
I assume the build of the shared libs is within the subdirectories, because your CMakeLists.txt does not contain any add_library command.
To get a static library containing all sources you have to
Collect all sources
Add command to build the static library
For 1. add the following to every subdir/CMakeLists.txt
set(SOURCES # This creates a list of sources called SOURCES
myFileA.cpp # This adds an item to the list
myFileB.cpp
${SOURCES} # This adds all items of existing list SOURCES to the current list
PARENT_SCOPE # This makes SOURCES visible in the parent CMakeLists.txt
)
For 2. add the static library
add_library(myTestLib_static.c STATIC ${SOURCES})

Question/Problem
Note: I am trying to achieve an out-of-source build where Project 1 is an Engine which is used from Project 2.
Commands I run under build of root_project: cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64"
Project 2 doesn't link against Project 1
Project 2 doesn't show up in VS 2017
My own header files under /include for Project 1 will be shown in External Dependencies in VS 2017 instead of source
Turning my comment into an answer
You just need to specify sources for your Project 2 target.
I've given you example a try and CMake gives you an configuration error (which is probably why it won't show up/doesn't rewrite the solution/project files, if you add the second project):
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:23 (add_executable):
add_executable called with incorrect number of arguments, no sources provided
And yes, if you add e.g. a not yet existing src/main.cpp to SOURCES you will get:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:23 (add_executable):
Cannot find source file:
src/main.cpp
Tried extensions .c .C .c++ .cc .cpp .cxx .m .M .mm .h .hh .h++ .hm .hpp .hxx .in .txx
So the workflow in CMake is always to first create the source file and then add to your CMakeLists.txt. With an IDE like VS you could just add a new item to your project (like you would do for non-generated projects) and then add it to your CMakeLists.txt file.
For some of my projects I've created a check_and_create_source() function called inside overwritten add_executable() calls, but using it for some years I can now say there is no real benefit in that approach. You still need to run a ZERO_CHECK build to get the empty files created/before you can start (and you get confused when you mistyped an inclusion for an existing source file).
And I personally don't like the globbing alternative (see Why is cmake file GLOB evil? and CMake/Ninja attempting to compile deleted `.cpp` file)

How debug dynamic library in such situation

Well, I am new to CMake.
I have the following file structure
haze_removal
|---build
|---bin
| |--Test
| |--CMakeLists.txt
|---lib
| |--libtools.so
|---include
| |--tools.hpp
|---test
| |--main.cpp
| |--CMakeLists.txt
|---src
| |--tools.cpp
| |--CMakeLists.txt
|---CMakeLists.txt
The libtools.so is builded from ../src/tools.cpp. I build the whole project in ../build using the following cmake command:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
make
The Test is build from ../test/main.cpp
I build this project successfully. But when I debug Test using gdb ./Test, I can't skip in the function that from libtools.so.
These are my CMakeLists.txt from different directories.
CMakeLists.txt under haze_removal/
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
project(haze_removal)
# find needed package
find_package(OpenCV REQUIRED)
# library directory
add_subdirectory(src)
# test
add_subdirectory(test)
CMakeLists.txt under ../src/
# generate dynamic library
# add source file, include directories
aux_source_directory(. TOOLS_SRC)
include_directories(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/include)
# generate
add_library(tools SHARED ${TOOLS_SRC})
# set output directory and lib's name
set(LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/lib)
set_target_properties(tools PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME "tools")
# link library
target_link_libraries(tools ${OpenCV_LIBS})
CMakeLists.txt under ../test/
# add source file, include directories, link directories
aux_source_directory(. EXE_SRC)
include_directories(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/include)
link_directories(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/lib)
# generate
add_executable(Test ${EXE_SRC})
# set output directory
set(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/bin)
# link libraries
target_link_libraries(Test ${OpenCV_LIBS} libtools.so)
My question is how I can debug the functions that from libtools.
Well, I find that why I can't step in the dynamic library even though I set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. Because before I set the build model to Debug I used to set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release. After I change the build model, I didn't delete the files in the build directory.
I don't know whether the above explanation is right or not, but I do solve my problem.
Thx!

How to solve this cmake issue with c++ code?

I have compiled program with cmake.The cmakelist.txt:

SET(LIB_SUFFIX "")

The problem is that in my folder /clusteringmaster/build/CMakeFiles/2.8.12.2/ I have two folders CompilerIdC and CompilerIdCXX,both of them have exe file.As Sergey pointed out exe should be located in bin directory.When I list my CmakeFile
2.8.12.2 cmake.check_cache CMakeOutput.log Makefile2 progress.marks
clustering.dir CMakeDirectoryInformation.cmake CMakeTmp Makefile.cmake TargetDirectories.txt
From the authors tutorial
Build
You will need the Eigen2 library (libeigen2-devel) and CMake (only tested under Linux).
$ mkdir release
$ cd release
$ cmake ../
$ make
Should I write cmake -- build /home/milenko/clusteing-master/release?
I have not worked with cmake before,how should I solve this confusion?
One item is that should use the cmake variable ${PROJECT_NAME} as the target name for the add_library command. (Your project name is specified as "clustering" because of the project (clustering) statement.) To get a d suffix for the debug configuration build, use set(CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX d). I also like to set the output directory variables using
set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin")
set(CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/lib")
set(CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/lib")
(I will even set the _DEBUG and _RELEASE variants, but this may cause problems when you are first getting started, so I would wait before doing that.)

Setting the library path for Boosts tests with CMake in Windows

I've started a little project on GitHub for an OpenSceneGraph plugin. Here, I plan on learning how to setup projects with CMake, unit testing with Boost.Test and continuous integration, with Travis-CI.
It has this structure:
root
|-> cmake
|-> conf [Create the `library`-config.cmake and `library`-depends.cmake files]
|-> find [Find module for the custom `Boost` installation at work]
|-> examples
|-> include [*.h]
|-> src [*.src]
|-> test
|-> options [CMakeFile.txt and .cpp file for the test]
|
|-> CMakeFile.txt [Root file]
I have two machines: my laptop, with Linux Mint 16 and g++ 4.8, and my work computer, with Windows 8.1, the MinGW suite and g++ 4.5.
The project (development branch!) builds fine with make, but afterwards, when I try to run the tests with make test in Windows I always end getting these errors:
The program can't start because libboost_unit_test_framework-mgw45-mt-1_51.dll is missing
and in the terminal:
Running tests...

I'm trying to tell CMake to use the newly-generated osgGML library in the build directory when linking the test executable (I have checked, libosgGML.dll is in ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}.
In this version of the file, I added the rpath to the library. In a previous one, aside from -Wl,-rpath,<library_dirs> I also specified the -L<library_dirs> right after that.
I've tried to link directly the dll's too, but nothing worked.
How can I tell the test executable to "find" the libraries in their respective directories, instead of copying them to the executable dir?
