I'm trying to build my project with cmake and I'm having problem with specifying directories with libraries to link.
My project have the following directory hierarchy:
folder/my_libs/libA/include
folder/my_libs/libA/src
folder/my_libs/libA/projects
folder/my_libs/libA/unit_tests
folder/other_libs/devlib/include
folder/other_libs/devlib/lib
3RD_PARTY_LIB/gtest-1.5.0/include
3RD_PARTY_LIB/gtest-1.5.0/lib
3RD_PARTY_LIB/pcre-8.02/include
3RD_PARTY_LIB/pcre-8.02/lib
3RD_PARTY_LIB is environment variable that contains path of some 3rd party libs that I use.
The problem is in unit_tests/CMakeLists.txt - when I specify relative paths for includes with include_directories they are handled correctly, but relative paths specified with link_directories are handled wrong.
Here are my makefiles:
=================================
# folder/my_libs/libA/CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8 FATAL_ERROR)
project("libA")
add_subdirectory(src)
add_subdirectory(unit_tests)
=================================
# folder/my_libs/libA/src/CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8 FATAL_ERROR)
project("libA")
set(HDR_LIST ../include/AuxRoutines.h
...
../include/utility.h)
set(SRC_LIST ModuleImpl.cpp
..
Version.cpp)
# add include dirs
include_directories("../include")
include_directories("../../../other_libs/devlib/include")
# disable some warnings
add_compile_options("/wd 4996")
...
# this command creates a new library from specified sources
add_library(libA STATIC ${SRC_LIST} ${HDR_LIST} )
=================================
# folder/my_libs/libA/unit_tests/CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8 FATAL_ERROR)
project("sys_utils_tests")
set(SRC_LIST AuxiliaryRoutinesTests.cpp
...
UnitTests.h)
# add include dir
include_directories("../include")
include_directories("../../../other_libs/devlib/include")
include_directories($ENV{3RD_PARTY_LIB}/gtest-1.5.0/include)
include_directories($ENV{3RD_PARTY_LIB}/pcre-8.02/include)
# where to look for libs
link_directories(../../../other_libs/devlib/lib/)
link_directories($ENV{3RD_PARTY_LIB}/gtest-1.5.0/lib/)
# disable some warnings
add_compile_options("/wd 4996")
...
# make an executable from specified sources
add_executable(libATest ${SRC_LIST})
# libs to link with
target_link_libraries(libATest libA)
target_link_libraries(libATest gtestd.lib)
target_link_libraries(libATest devlibd.lib)
