Generate igl project using CMakeLists file
Published:
This blog shows generate project files with igl Lib using CMakeLists file.
CMake supports various systems including Windows, Linux and Mac.
Prepare works
Prepare all files you need to compile in one folder, and name it with your project name. You’d better make sure that the Project folder and igl folder are in the same root directory.
Create CMakeLists file
Create “CMakeLists.txt” and save it in project folder. The content is shown as follows:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.1)
get_filename_component(PROJECT_NAME ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} NAME)
project(${PROJECT_NAME})
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH} ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake)
# If need download, change "OFF"
option(LIBIGL_SKIP_DOWNLOAD "Skip download" ON)
# libigl
option(LIBIGL_WITH_OPENGL "Use OpenGL" ON)
option(LIBIGL_WITH_OPENGL_GLFW "Use GLFW" ON)
find_package(LIBIGL REQUIRED QUIET)
# Add your project files
file(GLOB SRCFILES *.cpp)
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} ${SRCFILES})
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} igl::core igl::opengl igl::opengl_glfw)
if(TARGET igl::mosek)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} igl::mosek)
endif()
Create CMake module file
Create new folder named “ cmake “ under project folder, and create “ FindLIBIGL.cmake “ inside with content:
# - Try to find the LIBIGL library
# Once done this will define
#
# LIBIGL_FOUND - system has LIBIGL
# LIBIGL_INCLUDE_DIR - **the** LIBIGL include directory
if(LIBIGL_FOUND)
return()
endif()
find_path(LIBIGL_INCLUDE_DIR igl/readOBJ.h
HINTS

ENV LIBIGL_DIR

)
include(FindPackageHandleStandardArgs)
find_package_handle_standard_args(LIBIGL
"\nlibigl not found --- You can download it using:\n\tgit clone https://github.com/libigl/libigl.git ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/../libigl"
LIBIGL_INCLUDE_DIR)
mark_as_advanced(LIBIGL_INCLUDE_DIR)
list(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${LIBIGL_INCLUDE_DIR}/../cmake")
include(libigl)
Enjoy with cmake or cmake-gui.
