Install(DIRECTORY doc/ DESTINATION share/doc/cmake/test)Įnter build and execute the following commands: cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/ubuntu/work/usr. # Here, follow the files in the doc directory Install(PROGRAMS runtest.sh DESTINATION bin) Install(FILES copyright README.md DESTINATION share/doc/cmake/test) # Add installation information such as copyright readme Then the path after installation is $ '-Compile and link to generate executable file-') If you want to use cmake_ INSTALL_ Prefix to define the installation path, you should write it as a relative path, that is, do not start with /. At this time, CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is actually invalid If the path starts with /, it refers to the absolute path.

There are three corresponding target types: ARCHIVE refers to static LIBRARY, LIBRARY refers to dynamic LIBRARY, and RUNTIME refers to executable target binary.ĭESTINATION defines the installation path.

The TARGETS in the parameter are followed by our ADD_EXECUTABLE or add_ The object file defined by library may be executable binary, dynamic library or static library. The use case for this is that we call on an external package manager executable to copy binaries into our install directory. I’m trying to use CPACKPREBUILDSCRIPTS to filter out certain files from the staging directory before CPack begins packaging. The following table shows the target type and its associated variables and built-in default values, which are applicable when no target is specified: CMAKEINSTALLPREFIX in CPACKPREBUILDSCRIPTS. [[ARCHIVE|LIBRARY|RUNTIME|OBJECTS|FRAMEWORK|BUNDLE| Installation of target files install(TARGETS targets. The content that can be installed through cmake can include target binary, dynamic library, static library, files, directories, scripts, etc., which are briefly described below:įor details, please refer to the official website. If you have some custom install directories on your system and you want CMake to find the stuff installed there, set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH.Here we mainly introduce the operations of install ing using cmake: that everything is properly stored in the cache). And once CMake has found the stuff, it shouldn't be required anymore, authors of FindFoo.cmake modules should take care of that (i.e. This environment variable has to be set (only) at CMake-time. I guess something like: $ export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME/kdepim:/opt/kde4 Now what would the aforementioned kdepim developer do ? So, this is what I do to get cmake find all my KDE4 stuff: $ export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/qt-copy:/opt/kdesupport:/opt/kdelibs:/opt/kdepimlibs:/opt/kde4ĭid you notice that I also put the directory of qt-copy there ? This also makes sure that CMake finds the qmake sitting there first, and I don't have to change the PATH additionally.

The prefixes (directories) listed in it will be searched before the default search directories, and lib/, include/ and bin/ will be appended appropriately. What's the best way to get CMake 2.6 find all that ?īy setting the environment variable CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, which is a list of directories (similar to PATH). Or, as another example, I have kdesupport in /opt/kdesupport, kdelibs in /opt/kdelibs, kdepimlibs in /opt/kdepimlibs, qt-copy in /opt/qt-copy, the rest of KDE4 in /opt/kde4. if you are a kdepim developer you might have kdesupport and kdelibs in /opt/kde4, while you install kdepimlibs and kdepim to $HOME/kdepim/. This works successfully in a lot of case.īut let's say, you have some custom install directories on your system, e.g. Since CMake 2.6 it also searches in CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX of the current project and in the directory where CMake itself is installed.

Have a look at Modules/Platform/UnixPath.cmake for the full set of default search directories. in the include/, library/ and bin/ directories depending on whether find_(file|path|library|program) was called. in /usr, /usr/local, /opt/csw and more (i.e.

#Cmake install prefix software

Usually a software package is installed to some 'prefix' directory, in the lib/ subdir of that prefix go the libraries, in the include/ subdir of that prefix go the headers, and in the bin/ subdir of that prefix go the programs.īy default, if you use one of the find_(file|path|library|program)() commands, CMake searches in a set of such prefix directories, e.g. It's purpose is to help with getting CMake to find what you want it to find.

One thing was has been added and which is very nice support for the new environment variable CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH. Since some August or so we are now requiring CMake 2.6 for KDE svn trunk.
