I apologize for bothering you all, but I have a little compilation problem with cmake.
I have a CMakeLists.txt file I'm using to build a test executable, and a shared library. They both have dependency to another library (SFML).
I'm using cmake on window with MinGW.
I know the name of the lib I'm building is kinda confusing with the sfml one, but it's supposed to be a SFML wrapper, so, I didn't find a better name!
Here the CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)
project(projectName)
set(EXECUTABLE_NAME testSFML)
set(LIBRARY_NAME SFMLwindow)
set(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/bin/)
include_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/include /
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../../include
)
link_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../../lib/)
file(
GLOB_RECURSE
SRC_FILES
src/*
)
file(
GLOB_RECURSE
INCLUDE_FILES
include/*
)
add_executable(
${EXECUTABLE_NAME}
main.cpp
${SRC_FILES}
${INCLUDE_FILES}
)
target_link_libraries(
${EXECUTABLE_NAME}
sfml-main
sfml-system
sfml-window
)
add_library(
${LIBRARY_NAME}
SHARED
${SRC_FILES}
)
And what I get in the terminal :
"C:\MinGW\bin\mingw32-make.exe"

If anybody have a clue on what's happening, I'd be very gratefull!
Creates an IMPORTED library target called <name> . No rules are generated to build it, and the IMPORTED target property is True . The target name has scope in the directory in which it is created and below, but the GLOBAL option extends visibility. It may be referenced like any target built within the project.
To build with just cmake change directory into where you want the binaries to be placed. For an in-place build you then run cmake and it will produce a CMakeCache. txt file that contains build options that you can adjust using any text editor.
At a guess, your SFMLwindow
library needs linked to some or all of sfml-main, sfml-system, sfml-window.
You could try changing the end of your CMakeLists.txt to:
add_library(
${LIBRARY_NAME}
SHARED
${SRC_FILES}
${INCLUDE_FILES}
)
add_executable(
${EXECUTABLE_NAME}
main.cpp
)
target_link_libraries(
${LIBRARY_NAME}
sfml-main
sfml-system
sfml-window
)
target_link_libraries(
${EXECUTABLE_NAME}
${LIBRARY_NAME}
)
As an aside, file(GLOB_RECURSE...
is generally frowned upon as a way to gather a list of sources. From the docs for file
:
We do not recommend using GLOB to collect a list of source files from your source tree. If no CMakeLists.txt file changes when a source is added or removed then the generated build system cannot know when to ask CMake to regenerate.
Also, find_library
should be preferred to link_directories
in this case. From the docs for link_directories
:
Note that this command is rarely necessary. Library locations returned by find_package() and find_library() are absolute paths. Pass these absolute library file paths directly to the target_link_libraries() command. CMake will ensure the linker finds them.
