Building Libraries

Building external dependencies and libraries is not trivial and requires either:

  • that the external dependency has a detailed documentation how to build it
  • you have a good understanding of make tools (autoconf, automake, etc.)
  • external dependencies use some other build tools e.g. SCons, Bakefiles etc. for building

At least moderate knowledge of CMake is recomended. If you fulfill above criteria then all you have to do is:

  • define project name, usually the name of the module
  • include dist.cmake
    • this will set up all variables that contain installation paths
  • check platform/compiler specifics
  • generate a configuration header if needed (requires to write down a template file of the configuration header)
  • instruct CMAKE to search for external dependencies if needed
    • check if external dependencies were found
  • create the library
  • link library against other external dependencies
  • write commands for installing library and other files

Here is an commented example for the Expat library:

Write a configuration template file: expat_config.h.cmake

This file contains defines like this

/* Define to 1 if you have the `bcopy' function. */#cmakedefine HAVE_BCOPY ${HAVE_BCOPY}

and during configuration phase is evaluated to e.g.

#defineHAVE_BCOPY 1

depending whether compiler finds bcopy function.

Write CMakeLists.txt

The following example shows how configuration of headers can be implemented. On some libraries this is obsolete but for the purpose of example we will show a more complex situation.

Building Libraries

Building external dependencies and libraries is not trivial and requires either:

  • that the external dependency has a detailed documentation how to build it
  • you have a good understanding of make tools (autoconf, automake, etc.)
  • external dependencies use some other build tools e.g. SCons, Bakefiles etc. for building

At least moderate knowledge of CMake is recomended. If you fulfill above criteria then all you have to do is:

  • define project name, usually the name of the module
  • include dist.cmake
    • this will set up all variables that contain installation paths
  • check platform/compiler specifics
  • generate a configuration header if needed (requires to write down a template file of the configuration header)
  • instruct CMAKE to search for external dependencies if needed
    • check if external dependencies were found
  • create the library
  • link library against other external dependencies
  • write commands for installing library and other files

Here is an commented example for the Expat library:

Write a configuration template file: expat_config.h.cmake

This file contains defines like this

/* Define to 1 if you have the `bcopy' function. */#cmakedefine HAVE_BCOPY ${HAVE_BCOPY}

and during configuration phase is evaluated to e.g.

#defineHAVE_BCOPY 1

depending whether compiler finds bcopy function.

Write CMakeLists.txt

The following example shows how configuration of headers can be implemented. On some libraries this is obsolete but for the purpose of example we will show a more complex situation.

Building Libraries

Building external dependencies and libraries is not trivial and requires either:

  • that the external dependency has a detailed documentation how to build it
  • you have a good understanding of make tools (autoconf, automake, etc.)
  • external dependencies use some other build tools e.g. SCons, Bakefiles etc. for building

At least moderate knowledge of CMake is recomended. If you fulfill above criteria then all you have to do is:

  • define project name, usually the name of the module
  • include dist.cmake
    • this will set up all variables that contain installation paths
  • check platform/compiler specifics
  • generate a configuration header if needed (requires to write down a template file of the configuration header)
  • instruct CMAKE to search for external dependencies if needed
    • check if external dependencies were found
  • create the library
  • link library against other external dependencies
  • write commands for installing library and other files

Here is an commented example for the Expat library:

Write a configuration template file: expat_config.h.cmake

This file contains defines like this

/* Define to 1 if you have the `bcopy' function. */#cmakedefine HAVE_BCOPY ${HAVE_BCOPY}

and during configuration phase is evaluated to e.g.

#defineHAVE_BCOPY 1

depending whether compiler finds bcopy function.

Write CMakeLists.txt

The following example shows how configuration of headers can be implemented. On some libraries this is obsolete but for the purpose of example we will show a more complex situation.

Note:

This tutorial only some aspects of translating libraries to CMake. It is a guide how to proceed and other libraries may require you to write more complex scripts, especially when you need to select files or compiler flags for platform/copiler specific tests. Please see other libraries providied by LuaDist for examples.

Alternatively you can submit an issue to the Repository Issues if you need help.
