You can -find it at the same location under the name _config.xml.in.sample_ (stunning -isn't it). Just copy the sample file to your _conf.d/wgt_ directory and name it -_config.xml.in_, then edit it to fit your needs. - -> ***CAUTION*** : The default file is only meant to be use for a -> simple widget app, more complicated ones which needed to export -> their api, or ship several app in one widget need to use the provided -> _config.xml.in.sample_ which had all new Application Framework -> features explained and examples. - -## Using cmake template macros - -To leverage all cmake templates features, you have to specify ***properties*** -on your targets. Some macros will not works without specifying which is the -target type. - -As the type is not always specified for some custom targets, like an ***HTML5*** -application, macros make the difference using ***LABELS*** property. - -Choose between: - -- **BINDING**: Shared library that be loaded by the AGL Application Framework -- **BINDINGV2**: Shared library that be loaded by the AGL Application Framework - This has to be accompagnied with a JSON file named like the - *${OUTPUT_NAME}-apidef* of the target that describes the API with OpenAPI - syntax (e.g: *mybinding-apidef*). - Or Alternatively, you can choose the name, without the extension, using macro - **set_openapi_filename**.

This is already handle by template and will be installed in the -> following path : **${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/${PROJECT_NAME}** - -> **NOTE**: if you want to set and use `rpath` with your target you should use -> and set the target property `INSTALL_RPATH`. - -## Add external 3rd party library - -### Build, link and ship external library with the project - -You could need to include an external library that isn't shipped in the -platform. Then you have to bundle the required library in the `lib` widget -directory. - -Templates includes some facilities to help you to do so. Classic way to do so -is to declare as many CMake ExternalProject as library you need. - -An ExternalProject is a special CMake module that let you define how to: -download, update, patch, configure, build and install an external project. It -doesn't have to be a CMake project and custom step could be added for special -needs using ExternalProject step. More informations on CMake [ExternalProject -documentation site](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.5/module/ExternalProject.html?highlight=externalproject). - -Example to include `mxml` library for [unicens2-binding](https://github.com/iotbzh/unicens2-binding) -project: - -```cmake -set(MXML external-mxml) -set(MXML_SOURCE_DIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/mxml) -ExternalProject_Add(${MXML} - GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/michaelrsweet/mxml.git - GIT_TAG release-2.10 - SOURCE_DIR ${MXML_SOURCE_DIR} - CONFIGURE_COMMAND ./configure --build x86_64 --host aarch64 - BUILD_COMMAND make libmxml.so.1.5 - BUILD_IN_SOURCE 1 - INSTALL_COMMAND "" -) - -PROJECT_TARGET_ADD(mxml) - -add_library(${TARGET_NAME} SHARED IMPORTED GLOBAL) - -SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TARGET_NAME} PROPERTIES - LABELS LIBRARY - IMPORTED_LOCATION ${MXML_SOURCE_DIR}/libmxml.so.1 - INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES ${MXML_SOURCE_DIR} -) - -add_dependencies(${TARGET_NAME} ${MXML}) -``` - -Here we define an external project that drive the build of the library then we -define new CMake target of type **IMPORTED**. Meaning that this target hasn't -been built using CMake but is available at the location defined in the target -property *IMPORTED_LOCATION*. - -You could want to build the library as *SHARED* or *STATIC* depending on your needs -and goals. Then you only have to modify the external project configure step and change -filename used by **IMPORTED** library target defined after external project. - -Then target *LABELS* property is set to **LIBRARY** to ship it in the widget. - -Unicens project also need some header from this library, so we use the target -property *INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES*. Setting that when another target link -to that imported target, it can access to the include directories. - -We bound the target to the external project using a CMake dependency at last. - -Then this target could be use like any other CMake target and be linked etc. - -### Only link and ship external library with the project - -If you already have a binary version of the library that you want to use and you -can't or don't want to build the library then you only have to add an **IMPORTED** -library target. - -So, taking the above example, `mxml` library inclusion would be: - -```cmake -PROJECT_TARGET_ADD(mxml) - -add_library(${TARGET_NAME} SHARED IMPORTED GLOBAL) - -SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TARGET_NAME} PROPERTIES - LABELS LIBRARY - IMPORTED_LOCATION /path/to/library/libmxml.so.1 - INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES /path/to/mxml/include/dir -) -``` - -Finally, you can link any other lib or executable target with this imported -library like any other target. - -## Macro reference - -### PROJECT_TARGET_ADD - -Typical usage would be to add the target to your project using macro -`PROJECT_TARGET_ADD` with the name of your target as parameter. - -Example: - -```cmake -PROJECT_TARGET_ADD(low-can-demo) -``` - -> ***NOTE***: This will make available the variable `${TARGET_NAME}` -> set with the specificied name. This variable will change at the next call -> to this macros. - -### project_subdirs_add - -This macro will search in all subfolder any `CMakeLists.txt` file. If found then -it will be added to your project. This could be use in an hybrid application by -example where the binding lay in a sub directory. - -Usage : - -```cmake -project_subdirs_add() -``` - -You also can specify a globbing pattern as argument to filter which folders -will be looked for. - -To filter all directories that begin with a number followed by a dash the -anything: - -```cmake -project_subdirs_add("[0-9]-*") -``` - -### set_openapi_filename - -Used with a target labelized **BINDINGV2** to define the file name, and -possibly a relative path with the current *CMakeLists.txt*. - -If you don't use that macro to specify the name of your definition file -then the default one will be used, *${OUTPUT_NAME}-apidef* with -**OUTPUT_NAME** as the [target property]. - -> **CAUTION** you must only specify the name **WITHOUT** the extension. - -```cmake -set_openapi_filename('binding/mybinding_definition') -``` - -[target property]: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.6/prop_tgt/OUTPUT_NAME.html "OUTPUT_NAME property documentation" - -### add_input_files - -Create custom target dedicated for HTML5 and data resource files. This macro -provides syntax and schema verification for differents languages which are -about now: LUA, JSON and XML. - -You could change the tools used to check files with the following variables: - -- XML_CHECKER: set to use **xmllint** provided with major linux distribution. -- LUA_CHECKER: set to use **luac** provided with major linux distribution. -- JSON_CHECKER: no tools found at the moment. - -```cmake -add_input_file("${MY_FILES_LIST}") -``` - -> **NOTE**: an issue at the check step on a file will stop at the build step. |
