This repository provides a simple example of how to use CMake to compile a C++ project that makes use of both google test and SeqAn. On my Kubuntu system, the package installation of seqan fails to install a seqan-config.cmake file in a system path that is automatically searched by the cmake system. For this reason, I have written a CMake file that clones both seqan and gtest to the build directory. Probably this can be simplified with subsequent releases.
Using the CMake files provided, there is no need to install SeqAn separately.
To build the projects, we will create a new directory called build. We need to tell CMake the paths to Seqan as follows (note the name of the application is fase).
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
./fase
To create unit tests, enter the following commands
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -Dtest=ON ..
$ make
./runUnitTests
The first time it is run, the CMake script will cause cmake to download (via git clone) the googletest code and the SeqAn code into the 'build' subdirectory. It will also generate a number of files in the 'build' subdirectory, including the Makefile.
