\page TopicCMakeGuide Using %Eigen in CMake Projects
|
|
|
|
%Eigen provides native CMake support which allows the library to be easily
|
|
used in CMake projects.
|
|
|
|
\note %CMake 3.0 (or later) is required to enable this functionality.
|
|
|
|
%Eigen exports a CMake target called `Eigen3::Eigen` which can be imported
|
|
using the `find_package` CMake command and used by calling
|
|
`target_link_libraries` as in the following example:
|
|
\code{.cmake}
|
|
cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.0)
|
|
project (myproject)
|
|
|
|
find_package (Eigen3 3.3 REQUIRED NO_MODULE)
|
|
|
|
add_executable (example example.cpp)
|
|
target_link_libraries (example Eigen3::Eigen)
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
The above code snippet must be placed in a file called `CMakeLists.txt` alongside
|
|
`example.cpp`. After running
|
|
\code{.sh}
|
|
$ cmake path-to-example-directory
|
|
\endcode
|
|
CMake will produce project files that generate an executable called `example`
|
|
which requires at least version 3.3 of %Eigen. Here, `path-to-example-directory`
|
|
is the path to the directory that contains both `CMakeLists.txt` and
|
|
`example.cpp`.
|
|
|
|
Do not forget to set the <a href="https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.7/variable/CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH.html">\c CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH </a> variable if Eigen is not installed in a default location or if you want to pick a specific version. For instance:
|
|
\code{.sh}
|
|
$ cmake path-to-example-directory -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME/mypackages
|
|
\endcode
|
|
An alternative is to set the \c Eigen3_DIR cmake's variable to the respective path containing the \c Eigen3*.cmake files. For instance:
|
|
\code{.sh}
|
|
$ cmake path-to-example-directory -DEigen3_DIR=$HOME/mypackages/share/eigen3/cmake/
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
If the `REQUIRED` option is omitted when locating %Eigen using
|
|
`find_package`, one can check whether the package was found as follows:
|
|
\code{.cmake}
|
|
find_package (Eigen3 3.3 NO_MODULE)
|
|
|
|
if (TARGET Eigen3::Eigen)
|
|
# Use the imported target
|
|
endif (TARGET Eigen3::Eigen)
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
