Recently I decided to make all parts of FlameSteelFramework separate shared libraries, below I will show an example of CMakeLists.txt file for FlameSteelCore:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)
project (FlameSteelCore)
set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release)
include_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/src)
file(GLOB_RECURSE SOURCE_FILES
"src/FlameSteelCore/*.cpp"
)
add_library(FlameSteelCore SHARED ${SOURCE_FILES})
install(DIRECTORY "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/src/FlameSteelCore"
DESTINATION include/FlameSteelFramework
FILES_MATCHING
PATTERN "*.h"
)
install(TARGETS FlameSteelCore DESTINATION lib)
Commands that CMake executes: compiles all files with the *.cpp extension from the src/FlameSteelCore/ directory into a shared library, copies all headers with the *.h extension from src/FlameSteelCore to include/FlameSteelFramework (in my case it is /usr/local/include/FlameSteelFramework), copies shared lib to the lib directory (/usr/local/lib)
After installation, you may need to update the LD cache – sudo ldconfig.
To build and install on Ubuntu (if you have the correct build toolchain), just run the commands:
cmake . && make && sudo make install
To test the installation process, I pass make prefix to the local folder makeInstallTestPlayground:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/home/demensdeum/makeInstallTestPlayground . && make && make install
