cmake学习笔记

• cmake开启优化的同时启用assert
• cmake设置默认CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
• cmake使用C++17

¶ 传入宏定义

option(MACRO_NAME
    “Descriptions of the macro”
    OFF)
if (MACRO_NAME)
  add_compile_definitions(MACRO_NAME)
endif ()

然后cmake .. -DMACRO_NAME=ON，再make就好了。

¶ find_library

find_library(LUA_LIB lua)
if(NOT LUA_LIB)
  message(FATAL_ERROR "lua library not found")
endif()

¶ message

https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/message.html

¶ PUBLIC, PRIVATE, INTERFACE

Difference between PRIVATE and PUBLIC with target_link_libraries

假设A PRIVATE依赖B，A是静态库，B是动态库。如果executable C依赖A的话，cmake会自动把B链接到C上。

¶ 已知的问题

¶ 忽略LD_LIBRARY_PATH

CMake会忽略LD_LIBRARY_PATH。因此把库放进LD_LIBRARY_PATH里CMake还是找不到。

不过可以在cmake里读取环境变量LD_LIBRARY_PATH：https://stackoverflow.com/a/49738486/13688160

然后就可以把它作为find_package的参数或者加入到target_link_directories里。
