Please read the README.md file from the original repo: README.md
I found some CMakeLists issues, and I might decide to rewrite some small parts of the code in the future. Since the main repo seems somewhat idle, I created this fork to be able to help out with issues on the repository. I'll later try to do a pull request with the main repo.
The most efficient way to contribute to this repository is by creating pull requests. Issues are welcome obviusly, but I'm not as skilled as I wish I was.
Add the repo to your desired folder, I will use the folder name external/ in this example, like so:
git submodule add https://github.com/sciencefyll/fann external/fann
Then initiate it by using:
git submodule update --init
If you have made changes, stash them before you pull or you'll get some trouble:
git submodule external/fann git stash
And fetch the latest version:
git submodule external/fann git pull origin master
You could use a script to keep ur git-submodules up to date:
#!/bin/bash
git submodule update --init
git submodule foreach git stash
git submodule foreach git pull origin masterAssuming your project structure is as follows, and that every git-submodule is in the folder named external:
Project_root_dir/
- /CMakeLists.txt
- /external/fann/*
- /external/CMakeLists.txt
- /src/CMakeLists.txt
Only files and parts of files that are relevant will be shown.
CMakeLists.txt:
# Third party libraries in lib
add_subdirectory(external) # Git-submodule folder
# Our source code folder, usually called src/ or the name of the project
add_subdirectory(src)
external/CMakeLists.txt:
add_subdirectory(fann) # Fann, for simplified neural network development.
src/CMakeLists.txt:
include_directories("${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../external/fann/include
This will allow you to include fann files like this: #include "fann/fann.h".
