Common cmake components

This repository contains very generic cmake components which can be used across other cmake projects.

Including in your code.

The common cmake files need to be present when cmake is run. There are various ways of achieving this.

Git submodule

You can fetch the files during your git clone using a submodule.

git submodule add -b <tag> git@github.com:barco-healthcare/cmake-common.git path/to/cmake/common

Cloning during cmake run

Add this snippet to your CMakeLists.txt

# Download build system
if(NOT EXISTS "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/buildsys/v2.0")
    message(STATUS "Downloading buildsystem...")

    find_package(Git REQUIRED)
    execute_process(COMMAND ${GIT_EXECUTABLE} clone --branch v2.0 https://github.com/frederikvannoote/cmake-common.git ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/buildsys/v2.0)
endif()
list(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/buildsys/v2.0")

Usage

You can include these files in your CMakeLists.txt

# Include common cmake modules
list(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/path/to/cmake/common)
include(CommonConfig)
