# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

|

#
|
||||
# ``configure_package_config_file()`` should be used instead of the plain
|
||||
# :command:`configure_file()` command when creating the ``<PackageName>Config.cmake``
|
||||
# or ``<PackageName>-config.cmake`` file for installing a project or library.
|
||||
# It helps making the resulting package relocatable by avoiding hardcoded paths
|
||||
# in the installed ``Config.cmake`` file.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# In a ``FooConfig.cmake`` file there may be code like this to make the install
|
||||
# destinations know to the using project:
|
||||
#
|
||||
# .. code-block:: cmake
|
||||
#
|
||||
# set(FOO_INCLUDE_DIR "@CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_INCLUDEDIR@" )
|

# set(FOO_DATA_DIR "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/@RELATIVE_DATA_INSTALL_DIR@" )
|

# set(FOO_ICONS_DIR "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/share/icons" )
|
||||
# #...logic to determine installedPrefix from the own location...
|
||||
# set(FOO_CONFIG_DIR "${installedPrefix}/@CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR@" )
|
||||
#
|
||||
# All 4 options shown above are not sufficient, since the first 3 hardcode the
|
||||
# absolute directory locations, and the 4th case works only if the logic to
|
||||
# determine the ``installedPrefix`` is correct, and if ``CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR``
|
||||
# contains a relative path, which in general cannot be guaranteed. This has the
|
||||
# effect that the resulting ``FooConfig.cmake`` file would work poorly under
|
||||
# Windows and OSX, where users are used to choose the install location of a
|
||||
# binary package at install time, independent from how
|
||||
# :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` was set at build/cmake time.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Using ``configure_package_config_file`` helps. If used correctly, it makes
|
||||
# the resulting ``FooConfig.cmake`` file relocatable. Usage:
|
||||
#
|
||||
# 1. write a ``FooConfig.cmake.in`` file as you are used to
|
||||
# 2. insert a line containing only the string ``@PACKAGE_INIT@``
|
||||
# 3. instead of ``set(FOO_DIR "@SOME_INSTALL_DIR@")``, use
|
||||
# ``set(FOO_DIR "@PACKAGE_SOME_INSTALL_DIR@")`` (this must be after the
|
||||
# ``@PACKAGE_INIT@`` line)
|
||||
# 4. instead of using the normal :command:`configure_file()`, use
|
||||
# ``configure_package_config_file()``
|
||||
#
|
||||
#
|
||||
#
|
||||
# The ``<input>`` and ``<output>`` arguments are the input and output file, the
|
||||
# same way as in :command:`configure_file()`.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# The ``<path>`` given to ``INSTALL_DESTINATION`` must be the destination where
|
||||
# the ``FooConfig.cmake`` file will be installed to. This path can either be
|
||||
# absolute, or relative to the ``INSTALL_PREFIX`` path.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# The variables ``<var1>`` to ``<varN>`` given as ``PATH_VARS`` are the
|
||||
# variables which contain install destinations. For each of them the macro will
|
||||
# create a helper variable ``PACKAGE_<var...>``. These helper variables must be
|
||||
# used in the ``FooConfig.cmake.in`` file for setting the installed location.
|
||||
# They are calculated by ``configure_package_config_file`` so that they are
|
||||
# always relative to the installed location of the package. This works both for
|
||||
# relative and also for absolute locations. For absolute locations it works
|
||||
# only if the absolute location is a subdirectory of ``INSTALL_PREFIX``.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# If the ``INSTALL_PREFIX`` argument is passed, this is used as base path to
|
||||
# calculate all the relative paths. The ``<path>`` argument must be an absolute
|
||||
# path. If this argument is not passed, the :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`
|
||||
# variable will be used instead. The default value is good when generating a
|
||||
# FooConfig.cmake file to use your package from the install tree. When
|
||||
# generating a FooConfig.cmake file to use your package from the build tree this
|
||||
# option should be used.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# By default ``configure_package_config_file`` also generates two helper macros,
|
||||
# ``set_and_check()`` and ``check_required_components()`` into the
|
||||
# ``FooConfig.cmake`` file.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# ``set_and_check()`` should be used instead of the normal ``set()`` command for
|
||||
# setting directories and file locations. Additionally to setting the variable
|
||||
# it also checks that the referenced file or directory actually exists and fails
|
||||
# with a ``FATAL_ERROR`` otherwise. This makes sure that the created
|
||||
# ``FooConfig.cmake`` file does not contain wrong references.
|
||||
# When using the ``NO_SET_AND_CHECK_MACRO``, this macro is not generated
|
||||
# into the ``FooConfig.cmake`` file.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# ``check_required_components(<PackageName>)`` should be called at the end of
|
||||
# the ``FooConfig.cmake`` file. This macro checks whether all requested,
|
||||
# non-optional components have been found, and if this is not the case, sets
|
||||
# the ``Foo_FOUND`` variable to ``FALSE``, so that the package is considered to
|
||||
# be not found. It does that by testing the ``Foo_<Component>_FOUND``
|
||||
# variables for all requested required components. This macro should be
|
||||
# called even if the package doesn't provide any components to make sure
|
||||
# users are not specifying components erroneously. When using the
|
||||
# ``NO_CHECK_REQUIRED_COMPONENTS_MACRO`` option, this macro is not generated
|
||||
# into the ``FooConfig.cmake`` file.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# For an example see below the documentation for
|
||||
# :command:`write_basic_package_version_file()`.

#
|

# Generating a Package Version File
|
||||
# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
#
|
||||
# .. command:: write_basic_package_version_file
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Create a version file for a project::
|

#
|

# write_basic_package_version_file(<filename>
|
||||
# [VERSION <major.minor.patch>]

# COMPATIBILITY <AnyNewerVersion|SameMajorVersion|SameMinorVersion|ExactVersion> )
|

#
|

#
|
||||
# Writes a file for use as ``<PackageName>ConfigVersion.cmake`` file to
|
||||
# ``<filename>``. See the documentation of :command:`find_package()` for
|
||||
# details on this.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# ``<filename>`` is the output filename, it should be in the build tree.
|
||||
# ``<major.minor.patch>`` is the version number of the project to be installed.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# If no ``VERSION`` is given, the :variable:`PROJECT_VERSION` variable is used.
|
||||
# If this hasn't been set, it errors out.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# The ``COMPATIBILITY`` mode ``AnyNewerVersion`` means that the installed
|
||||
# package version will be considered compatible if it is newer or exactly the
|
||||
# same as the requested version. This mode should be used for packages which
|

# are fully backward compatible, also across major versions.
|
||||
# If ``SameMajorVersion`` is used instead, then the behaviour differs from
|
||||
# ``AnyNewerVersion`` in that the major version number must be the same as
|

# requested, e.g. version 2.0 will not be considered compatible if 1.0 is
|
||||
# requested. This mode should be used for packages which guarantee backward
|
||||
# compatibility within the same major version.
|
||||
# If ``SameMinorVersion`` is used, the behaviour is the same as
|
||||
# ``SameMajorVersion``, but both major and minor version must be the same as
|
||||
# requested, e.g version 0.2 will not be compatible if 0.1 is requested.
|
||||
# If ``ExactVersion`` is used, then the package is only considered compatible if
|
||||
# the requested version matches exactly its own version number (not considering
|
||||
# the tweak version). For example, version 1.2.3 of a package is only
|
||||
# considered compatible to requested version 1.2.3. This mode is for packages
|
||||
# without compatibility guarantees.
|
||||
# If your project has more elaborated version matching rules, you will need to
|
||||
# write your own custom ``ConfigVersion.cmake`` file instead of using this
|
||||
# macro.
|

#
|

# Internally, this macro executes :command:`configure_file()` to create the

By default ``configure_package_config_file`` also generates two helper macros,

For an example see below the documentation for

:command:`write_basic_package_version_file()`.
|

|

Generating a Package Version File
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
.. command:: write_basic_package_version_file
|
||||
|
||||
Create a version file for a project::
|
||||
|
||||
write_basic_package_version_file(<filename>
|
||||
[VERSION <major.minor.patch>]
|
||||
COMPATIBILITY <AnyNewerVersion|SameMajorVersion|SameMinorVersion|ExactVersion> )
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Writes a file for use as ``<PackageName>ConfigVersion.cmake`` file to
|
||||
``<filename>``. See the documentation of :command:`find_package()` for
|
||||
details on this.
|
||||
|
||||
``<filename>`` is the output filename, it should be in the build tree.
|
||||
``<major.minor.patch>`` is the version number of the project to be installed.
|
||||
|
||||
If no ``VERSION`` is given, the :variable:`PROJECT_VERSION` variable is used.
|
||||
If this hasn't been set, it errors out.
|
||||
|
||||
The ``COMPATIBILITY`` mode ``AnyNewerVersion`` means that the installed
|
||||
package version will be considered compatible if it is newer or exactly the
|
||||
same as the requested version. This mode should be used for packages which
|
||||
are fully backward compatible, also across major versions.
|
||||
If ``SameMajorVersion`` is used instead, then the behaviour differs from
|
||||
``AnyNewerVersion`` in that the major version number must be the same as
|
||||
requested, e.g. version 2.0 will not be considered compatible if 1.0 is
|
||||
requested. This mode should be used for packages which guarantee backward
|
||||
compatibility within the same major version.
|
||||
If ``SameMinorVersion`` is used, the behaviour is the same as
|
||||
``SameMajorVersion``, but both major and minor version must be the same as
|
||||
requested, e.g version 0.2 will not be compatible if 0.1 is requested.
|
||||
If ``ExactVersion`` is used, then the package is only considered compatible if
|
||||
the requested version matches exactly its own version number (not considering
|
||||
the tweak version). For example, version 1.2.3 of a package is only
|
||||
considered compatible to requested version 1.2.3. This mode is for packages
|
||||
without compatibility guarantees.
|
||||
If your project has more elaborated version matching rules, you will need to
|
||||
write your own custom ``ConfigVersion.cmake`` file instead of using this
|
||||
macro.
|
||||
|
||||
Internally, this macro executes :command:`configure_file()` to create the
|
||||
resulting version file. Depending on the ``COMPATIBILITY``, the corresponding
|
||||
``BasicConfigVersion-<COMPATIBILITY>.cmake.in`` file is used.
|
||||
Please note that these files are internal to CMake and you should not call
|
||||
:command:`configure_file()` on them yourself, but they can be used as starting
