Cmake managed C++ - c++

I have cli wrapper function which i am trying to configure in cmake. After i generate the project with cmake the generated .proj file does not have the property of clr support is set to no common languaage runtime support. below is my cmake file
# This is the root ITK CMakeLists file.
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.9)
if(COMMAND CMAKE_POLICY)
cmake_policy(SET CMP0003 NEW)
endif()
set_target_properties(${TargetName} PROPERTIES COMPILE_FLAGS "/clr")
SET(LINK_LIBRARIES
D:\\2016\\RandomSlicing\\Processing\\lib\\obliquePlane.lib
)
# The header files
SET(HEADERS
ObliquePlaneWrapper.h
obliquePlane.h
)
# The implementation files
SET(SOURCES
ObliquePlaneWrapper.cpp
)
# Find ITK.
find_package(ITK REQUIRED)
include(${ITK_USE_FILE})
# Add this as include directory
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(
${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}
${SOURCE_PATH}
${VXL_INCLUDE_DIRS}
)
# Main library
#ADD_EXECUTABLE(obliquePlane ${HEADERS} ${SOURCES})
ADD_LIBRARY(ObliquePlaneWrapper SHARED ${HEADERS} ${SOURCES})
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(ObliquePlaneWrapper ${LINK_LIBRARIES} ${ITK_LIBRARIES})
I manually set this property in the All_build project and the corresponding .proj file. When i build the project it is searching for the ObliquePlaneWrapper.dll which it should be generating. Is this a problem because of some flag not set for common language runtime support

You can manually supply Compile Flags to specific sources to be compiled with specific flags. This includes \CLR for Visual C++. See example here.

I am using websocketpp library which is internally dependent on boost
And while compiling I am getting this error:

And this path is added in environments variables too....

How to make ExternalProject_Add acting like ADD_SUBDIRECTORY command with cmake?

I'm creating a native library under Android Studio, and I'm hurting the following problem.
In my AndroidStudio project CMakeLists.txt, I have this:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.7.0)
add_library(native-lib
SHARED
src/main/cpp/native-lib.cpp )
IF(USE_EXTERNAL)
include(ExternalProject)
ExternalProject_Add(
project_mylib
DOWNLOAD_COMMAND ""
SOURCE_DIR "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/main/cpp/mylib/"
CMAKE_ARGS
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}
)
add_dependencies(native-lib project_mylib)
ELSE()
add_subdirectory(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/main/cpp/mylib/)
ENDIF()
find_library( # Sets the name of the path variable.
log-lib
# Specifies the name of the NDK library that
# you want CMake to locate.
log )
target_link_libraries(native-lib
${log-lib}
mylib
)
A self-made library is located in src/main/cpp/mylib/, with a CMakeLists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.7.0)
project(lib)
add_library(mylib SHARED lib.cpp)
INSTALL(TARGETS mylib
RUNTIME DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin
LIBRARY DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib
)
When I use the "traditional" add_subdirectory(...) everything goes well. But, if I use the ExternalProject_Add(...) version, linker is skipping the compiled libmylib.so library and so cannot link mylib to native-lib.
I have the following message: skipping incompatible /home/.../app/.externalNativeBuild/cmake/debug/arm64-v8a/lib/libmylib.so when searching for -lmylib
My guess is that all the flags set by AndroidStudio for the root CMakeLists.txt are not set when the ExternalProject is compile leading to an incompatible shared library.
So, I wonder if there is a way to compile a cmake ExternalProject like it was part of the root project (sharing the same compile flags etc) ?
Thanks for any advice

How can I link static libraries defined in CMake subprojects to targets in other subprojects?

I have a large, modular CMake project.
Some modules are static libraries, some are executables that may or may not use some of these libraries. I already have a system of requirement/dependency checking in place that would stop cmake and tell the user if he's trying to build an executable but not the library that it requires.
The project compiles fine as is. I would like to split this into subprojects, i.e. set project(${module_name}) for each of the modules' CMakeLists.txt. Unfortunately, as soon as I insert this line into the apppropriate macro, I immediately get linker errors, i.e. the executables can no longer see the symbols defined in the static libraries.
The c++ command (I happen to be using gcc 4.8) that is invoked on the executables is unchanged, so something else must be different. How can I fix this and retain the subproject structure?
EDIT: per #Gerald's comment, additional information.

If that's still not enough, here's how the subprojects are included in the module-level CMakeLists.txt:

add_subdirectory (${MODULE_NAME})

How do you manage dependencies between libs with CMake? This should be done using TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(myexe mylib1 mylib2)

trouble compiling project that uses boost asio

I have created a project that uses some boost libraries. Originally the project was created as Eclipse project using MinGW and was working correctly. Now I am trying to convert it into CMake project.
I prepare MinGW makefile with CMake and try to compile it but get the following error:

The same kind of error is repeated for every symbol from time.h referenced in ctime. As you can see ctime is directly included by boost date_time library.

Want to make standalone program with cmake

My program uses giblib and Imlib2 library and it is built with cmake.
It works perfectly in my computer but not in other's.
I guess the reason is I installed every library what my program needs but other's doesn't.
My goal is making standalone program. (don't need to install any other library addtionally)
What should I add in cmake file?

Try starting with this options in your root CMakeLists.txt:
set(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS OFF)
set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} -static")
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is only needed if your project has its own libraries (add_library).
With the -static linker flag, you need static libs for ALL your additional libraries too! One common problem when static linking is to avoid circular dependencies.
