Cmake install prefix install#

If you have some custom install directories on your system and you want CMake to find the stuff installed there, set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH. 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 Not sure what you are trying to achieve: if you want the output directory to be in the operation system's path variable, you will have to manually add it or if you want to set CMAKEINSTALLPREFIX for your cmake build, you will have to either use 'set' in your cmake file, or '-D' option in your cmake command. 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.

Cmake install prefix full#

Have a look at Modules/Platform/UnixPath.cmake for the full set of default search directories. The modern equivalent of configure -prefixDIR & make all install would now be: cmake -B build -install-prefixDIR cmake -build build cmake -install build. in the include/, library/ and bin/ directories depending on whether find_(file|path|library|program) was called. Starting with CMake 3.21 you can use the -install-prefix option instead of manually setting CMAKEINSTALLPREFIX. 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. If you run into issues or have suggestions for the team, please report them in the issues section of the extension’s GitHub repository.Since some August or so we are now requiring CMake 2.6 for KDE svn trunk.

Feedback is welcomeĭownload the CMake Tools extension for Visual Studio Code today and give it a try. Qt5ChartsDIR to a directory containing one of the above. We recommend using the CMake Tools extension alongside the C/C++ extension for Visual Studio Code for IntelliSense configuration and a full-fidelity C/C++ development experience. Add the installation prefix of Qt5Charts to CMAKEPREFIXPATH or set. The following screenshot of the extension shows a logical view of the open-source CMake project bullet3 organized by target (left) and several CMake-specific commands.

You can visit the CMake Tools documentation and the extension’s GitHub repository to get started and learn more. The CMake Tools extension provides developers with a convenient and powerful workflow for configuring, building, browsing, and debugging CMake-based projects in Visual Studio Code.

Thank you vector-of-bool for all of your hard work getting this extension to where it is today! About the extension

The extension was created and previously maintained by vector-of-bool, who has moved on to other things. Microsoft is now the primary maintainer of the CMake Tools extension for Visual Studio Code.
