CLion unable to recognize OpenCV libraries (no IntelliSense) - c++

I am trying to solve this thing for quite some time. After a few hours I just decided to post a question because I am out of ideas. I imported a project into CLion with the CMakeLists.txt already inside. I am working on ubuntu and have the newest cmake version (3.5.something, OpenCV is 2.4.x). I use clion just for the IntelliSense, I wont be using it for the compilation anyway (I use terminal for that).
By opening the project I get following warning messages (which I somehow succeeded to reduce to warnings). This happens for every add_library line in OpenCVModules.cmake (I post just one of them):
CMake Warning (dev) at /usr/local/share/OpenCV/OpenCVModules.cmake:53 (add_library):
ADD_LIBRARY called with SHARED option but the target platform does not
support dynamic linking. Building a STATIC library instead. This may lead
to problems.
Has anyone got ideas?

MESSAGE(STATUS "OpenCV_LIBS = ${OpenCV_LIBS}")

MESSAGE(STATUS "OpenCV_LIBS not found!")
ENDIF(OpenCV_FOUND)

Using CMake to create an executable that can run independently on other machines

I’m using LibTorch and OpenCV for a program in Cpp. The compilation and building is done on Linux using CMake. The program builds and runs as expected.
I want to use the executable that CMake created on another Linux machine.
The problem is that I don’t want to install either LibTorch nor OpenCV on the other machine. I’d rather supply the user with a single executable if possible.
How can CMake create a single independent executable?
If making just a single file is irrelevant, how can CMake copy all needed libraries to a single directory?
The current CMake file:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
project(prediction)
list(APPEND CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH “libtorch”) # the folder where libtorch in found
set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release)
find_package( OpenCV REQUIRED )
find_package( Torch REQUIRED )
if(NOT Torch_FOUND)
message(FATAL_ERROR “Pytorch Not Found!”)
endif(NOT Torch_FOUND)
message(STATUS “Pytorch status:”)
message(STATUS " libraries: ${TORCH_LIBRARIES}")
message(STATUS “OpenCV library status:”)
message(STATUS " version: ${OpenCV_VERSION}")
message(STATUS " libraries: ${OpenCV_LIBS}")
message(STATUS " include path: ${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS}")
file(GLOB SOURCES ".h" ".cpp") # Link all headers and sources in root dir
include_directories( ${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS} )
add_executable(entrypoint ${SOURCES})
target_link_libraries(entrypoint ${TORCH_LIBRARIES} ${OpenCV_LIBS})
set_property(TARGET entrypoint PROPERTY CXX_STANDARD 14)
####### EDIT
Thanks for the answers.
Following Phesho_T answer bellow, I got the static compilation of LibTorch, but it won't compile with the set() instruction. It throws C10_LIBRARY NOTFOUND.
I think I'll try to use the shared libraries. How can CMake be instructed to copy the releveant shared libraries to the "build" folder, so I can pack everything in a .zip file and send it to the user.
Like another answer said, you need to link the static libs of Torch and OpenCV in your executable.
There are a few pre-requisites for this:
The two libraries need to have static (.a) libraries installed on your system. If they don't, you may have to manually build them. Steps for this differ between different packages.
You need to tell CMake to search for the static libraries ONLY. This is done via the CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES variable. The chances are the default for this is .so;.a, meaning it will find the shared library first.
set(CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES ".a")
The fact that you're using variables in your target_link_libraries command, instead of imported libraries (the modern CMake way) makes me think that this should be enough - these variables should expand to full paths to the static libraries, which should then be added to your linker command.
Things are a bit more complicated to explain if imported targets were used, but this might be out-of-scope for this question.
Try it out and let us know how you get on.
To create a single executable you need to statically link the dependencies into your executable. Check your libraries to see if they provide static-libs else you need to recompile libtorch or opencv to make static libraries.

Building TBB using Visual Studio 2015 x64 and CMake

i would like to build TBB to use it in another CMake project. I tried to build TBB from the Github source using the makefile (upgraded with VisualStudio 2015). This failed due to a mysterious error:
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'opencv_core300.lib'
Where does this error could originate from?
My second try was is to build TBB using another repository that allows a build using CMake. This build produces an tbb.lib, tbb.dll, etc. file.
Now I am stuck how to incorporate is in my other cmake files. There is no TBBConfig.cmake or similar.
My CMakeLists.txt for my project looks like this:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(IntrafraktionelleRegistrierung)
find_package(ITK REQUIRED
COMPONENTS
ITKRegistrationCommon
ITKRegistrationMethodsv4
)
include(${ITK_USE_FILE})
set(SRC
${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}.cxx
)
if (DEFINED ENV{TBBROOT})
message(STATUS "TBBROOT: $ENV{TBBROOT}")
else()
message(STATUS "TBBROOT not defined!")
endif()
find_package(TBB REQUIRED)
add_executable(${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME} ${SRC})
target_link_libraries( ${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}
${ITK_LIBRARIES}
tbb
)'
TBBROOT is the build directory of tbb. The FindTBB.cmake I have available is borrowed from here and copied to the modules directory of cmake.
The latest version of the binaries of TBB have a CMake folder with TBBConfig.cmake inside. I used this to link the TBB to my project but somehow I ended up by an error stating: "tbb-NOTFOUND.obj cannot be found". (This way is still under investigation.
Has someone used this repository to configure and build a cmake project?
About CMake related questions
Basically you have two options:
Integration of pre-built TBB binaries into your project
You can use the binaries of TBB (just as you did) according to the following example. After invocation of find_package(TBB REQUIRED) you will get TBB targets in a format TBB::<component> (e.g. TBB::tbb, TBB::tbbmalloc, etc). Also TBB_IMPORTED_TARGETS variable will contain all imported TBB targets.
So, you need to slightly modify your target_link_libraries:
target_link_libraries( ${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}
${ITK_LIBRARIES}
${TBB_IMPORTED_TARGETS}
)
or
target_link_libraries( ${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}
${ITK_LIBRARIES}
TBB::tbb
)
Also you can update your find_package if you need only TBB::tbb component in your project: find_package(TBB REQUIRED tbb)
Integration of TBB source code into your project
You can use tbb_build (it is a CMake wrapper using GNU Make on TBB Makefiles), but to run it on Windows under Visual Studio you will need to have GNU Make in your environment.
If you'd like to integrate this TBB (with CMake support) you can use add_subdirectory(<YOUR-TBB-ROOT>) (replace <YOUR-TBB-ROOT> with actual location of TBB) instead of find_package(TBB REQUIRED).

Setup CMake with SFML in VS2017

Just like in CLion I want to use SFML with Visual Studio 2017, but I'm still learning cmake and I don't know the commands or the logic of how cmake works at all. I've just seen some posts and got this litle script.
Note: I downloaded the latest version of sfml in the link provided, I just taked the extrated directory and put alongside CMakeLists.txt in my folder
#sets up the minimum version of cmake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.9)
#how the project will be called
project (space_impact)
#set c++11 standard
set (CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS}" -std=c++11)
#set source files
set (SOURCE_FILES main.cpp)
#we add the executable of the program
add_executable (space_impact ${SOURCE_FILES})
#taked from a mac-clion tutorial, doesn't work
set (CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/SFML/cmake-modules/")
find_package (SFML REQUIRED system window graphics network audio)
if (SFML_FOUND)
include_directories(${SFML_INCLUDE_DIR})
target_link_libraries(space_impact ${SFML_LIBRARIES})
endif()
that thing gave me errors:
Error CMake Error at SFML/cmake-modules/FindSFML.cmake:355 (message):
Could NOT find SFML (missing: SFML_SYSTEM_LIBRARY SFML_WINDOW_LIBRARY
SFML_GRAPHICS_LIBRARY SFML_NETWORK_LIBRARY SFML_AUDIO_LIBRARY) SFML/cmake-modules/FindSFML.cmake
I want everything to be dynamic, but I don't know how can I do that..
So my question is what should I do for setting up correctly SFML with Cmake in Visual Studio.
I don't want the old-fashioned method from the official website
UPDATE
Here's my location....
The thing is.. the FindSFML.cmake script it's not working...
What files should I move for make it working?
Your script is perfectly fine, except three things I'd change:
Move the whole module detection before defining targets. I'm pretty sure you also have to define your include directories before.
Your if(SFML_FOUND) bracket is pretty pointless right now, because you've set SFML to be required, which means it will never get past find_package() unless it's found.
-std=c++11 is a GCC only flag (MSVC will always use the latest standard, unless specified). As such you'll have to check the compiler here or use CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD.
So the "cleaned" CMakeLists.txt could look like this:
#sets up the minimum version of cmake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.9) # personally I'd set this version as low as required; you don't have to require the cutting edge version
#how the project will be called
project (space_impact)
#set the C++ standard to be used
set (CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
#set source files
set (SOURCE_FILES main.cpp)
#look for SFML and add it
set (CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/SFML/cmake-modules/")
find_package (SFML REQUIRED system window graphics network audio)
include_directories(${SFML_INCLUDE_DIR})
#we add the executable of the program
add_executable (space_impact ${SOURCE_FILES})
target_link_libraries(space_impact ${SFML_LIBRARIES} ${SFML_DEPENDENCIES})
Note that adding SFML_DEPENDENCIES to the library list is optional, unless you're using a static version of SFML.
But what about your SFML issue? Since you don't have the SFML files installed in any directory looked into by default, you'll have to tell CMake where it's found using the CMake variable SFML_ROOT or the environment variable of the same name.
So the first time you're invoking CMake, it could look like this:
cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" -DSFML_ROOT=path/to/sfml path/to/source
This is all you need to compile sfml in your cmake project.
find_package(SFML 2.5.1 COMPONENTS system graphics audio network REQUIRED)
add_executable (AwesomeProject "AwesomeProject.cpp" "AwesomeProject.h")
target_link_libraries(AwesomeProject PRIVATE sfml-audio sfml-graphics sfml-network sfml-system)
Also set SFML_DIR var to your sfml folder.

Missing sfml libraries for cmake

C++ newbie here, I'm trying to implement SFML library for CLion (Win 10).
I followed this http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/compile-with-cmake.php guidelines and installed sfml using cmake gui and mingw.
Now when I try to include SMF libraries to project in CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.6)
project(untitled2)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
set(SOURCE_FILES main.cpp)
add_executable(untitled2 ${SOURCE_FILES})
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "C:/Program Files (x86)/SFML/cmake/Modules"${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH})
set(SFML_STATIC_LIBRARIES TRUE)
find_package(SFML COMPONENTS graphics window system REQUIRED)
include_directories(${SFML_INCLUDE_DIR})
target_link_libraries(First ${SFML_Libraries})
Howewer, i'm getting an error
CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/SFML/cmake/Modules/FindSFML.cmake:355 (message):
SFML found but some of its dependencies are missing ( FreeType libjpeg)
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:13 (find_package)
But I thought those libs are included in Windows. I am doing something wrong? Where should I place FreeType and libjpeg files if I were to download them?
You shouldn't set any local system specific things (like paths) in your CMakeLists.txt. This defeats the whole purpose of a build system.
First, I'd suggest you create a sub directory "cmake" in your project and copy SFML's FindSFML.cmake module in there.
Then update your CMAKE_MODULE_PATH accordingly:
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake)
This will ensure the module is found. CMake's default modules are always found, you don't have to preserve the previous value of the variable (should typically be empty anyway).
Next, when creating your actual project files, you'll just have to pass SFML_ROOT to CMake, for example:
cmake "-DSFML_ROOT=C:/Program Files (x86)/SFML" path/to/source
In a similar way, you shouldn't set SFML_STATIC_LIBRARIES in your CMakeLists.txt unless you're somehow forced to use static libraries. So I'd actually add that to the command line as well:
cmake "-DSFML_ROOT=C:/Program Files (x86)/SFML" -DSFML_STATIC_LIBRARIES=TRUE path/to/source
You only have to set these once, they're stored in your CMakeCache.txt file later.
Last but not least, if you'd like to support static linking with SFML, you'll have to link SFML's dependencies as well:
target_link_libraries(First ${SFML_LIBRARIES} ${SFML_DEPENDENCIES})
Note that all these won't fix the error message you're getting. For some reason SFML's prebuilt dependencies aren't in C:\Program Files (x86)\SFML\lib. Are you sure you've got the correct prebuilt package?

linking opencv libraries included as an external project via cmake [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Configuring an c++ OpenCV project with Cmake
(2 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I'm relatively new to cmake and after days of struggling couldn't figure out the following thing:
I have a project that depends on opencv (which is a cmake project on its own) and I want to statically link opencv libraries. What I'm doing is I have a copy of opencv source code in my project and include it into my CMakeLists.txt via
ExternalProject_Add(my_copy_of_opencv_project
CMAKE_ARGS -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=NO ...
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${MY_OPENCV_INSTALL_DIR}
SOURCE_DIR ${PATH_TO_OPENCV_SRCS}
)
All built nicely and where I have problem is that I cannot reliably determine where the opencv libraries will be. E.g. on linux/mac there are in ${MY_OPENCV_INSTALL_DIR}/lib and are named as libopencv_core.a whereas on 32-bit Windows with VS 2012 installed the libs are in ${MY_OPENCV_INSTALL_DIR}/lib/x86/vc11/staticlib and for the Debug configuration the libs named like opencv_core247d.lib.
So the question is can I somehow obtain a list of all libraries produced by the OpenCV build (and the root lib folder) and link them via something like target_link_libraries(mylib opencv_core ...)?
Maybe I'm doing something wrong or overcomplicated. So what I basically want is to compile my embedded opencv source tree statically and link against its libraries in a "cross-plaformish" way.
Any pointers are highly appreciated! Thanks!
The best solution to use cmake with OpenCV project is:
Compile OpenCV as shared / static libraries with OpenCV's cmake build system.
In your project's CMakeLists.txt
For example (CMakeLists.txt):
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.12)
project(test_project)
# OpenCV_DIR could also be read from system environment variable.
if(WIN32)
set(OpenCV_DIR "d:/libs/opencv-2.4.8/build")
else()
set(OpenCV_DIR "/usr/lib/opencv")
endif()
find_package(OpenCV REQUIRED COMPONENTS core imgproc highgui)
include_directories(${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS}) # not needed for opencv>=4.0
add_executable(test main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(test ${OpenCV_LIBS})
It works in cross-platforms.
