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, *${OUTPUT_NAME}-apidef* with -**OUTPUT_NAME** as the [target property]. - -> **CAUTION** you must only specify the name **WITHOUT** the extension. - -```cmake -set_openapi_filename('binding/mybinding_definition') -``` - -[target property]: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.6/prop_tgt/OUTPUT_NAME.html "OUTPUT_NAME property documentation" - -### add_input_files - -Create custom target dedicated for HTML5 and data resource files. This macro -provides syntax and schema verification for different languages which are -about now: LUA, JSON and XML. - -You could change the tools used to check files with the following variables: - -- XML_CHECKER: set to use **xmllint** provided with major linux distribution. -- LUA_CHECKER: set to use **luac** provided with major linux distribution. -- JSON_CHECKER: no tools found at the moment. - -```cmake -add_input_file("${MY_FILES_LIST}") -``` - -> **NOTE**: an issue at the check step on a file will stop at the build step. - -## Advanced build customization - -### Including additional cmake files - -#### Machine and system custom cmake files - -Advanced tuning is possible using additional cmake files that are included -automatically from some specifics locations. They are included in that order: - -- Project CMake files normally located in _<project-root-path>/conf.d/app-templates/cmake/cmake.d_ -- Home CMake files located in _$HOME/.config/app-templates/cmake.d_ -- System CMake files located in _/etc/app-templates/cmake.d_ - -CMake files has to be named using the following convention: `XX-common*.cmake` -or `XX-${PROJECT_NAME}*.cmake`, where `XX` are numbers, `*` file name -(ie. `99-common-my_customs.cmake`). - -> **NOTE** You need to specify after numbers that indicate include order, to -which project that file applies, if it applies to all project then use keyword -`common`. - -So, saying that you should be aware that every normal cmake variables used at -project level could be overwritten by home or system located cmake files if -variables got the same name. Exceptions are cached variables set using -**CACHE** keyword: - -Example: - -```cmake -set(VARIABLE_NAME 'value string random' CACHE STRING 'docstring') -``` - -#### OS custom cmake files - -This is meant to personalize the project depending on the OS your are using. -At the end of config.cmake, common.cmake will include lot of cmake file to -customize project build depending on your platform. It will detect your OS -deducing it from file _/etc/os-release_ now as default in almost all Linux -distribution. - -So you can use the value of field **ID_LIKE** or **ID** if the -first one doesn't exists and add a cmake file for that distribution in your -_conf.d/cmake/_ directory or relatively to your _app-templates_ submodule path -_app-templates/../cmake/_ - -Those files has to be named use the following scheme _XX-${OSRELEASE}*.cmake_ -where _XX_ are numbers, ${OSRELEASE} the **ID_LIKE** or **ID** field from -_/etc/os-release_ file. You can also define default OS configuration file -to use as fallback is none specific OS configuration is available using the -scheme _XX-default*.cmake_. Then is you need by example a module that isn't -named the same in one distro only, you only has to define a specific file to -handle that case then for all the other case put the configuration in the -default file. - -### Include customs templated scripts - -As well as for additional cmake files you can include your own templated -scripts that will be passed to cmake command `configure_file`. - -Just create your own script to the following directories: - -- Home location in _$HOME/.config/app-templates/scripts_ -- System location in _/etc/app-templates/scripts_ - -Scripts only needs to use the extension `.in` to be parsed and configured by -CMake command. - -## Autobuild script usage - -### Generation - -To be integrated in the Yocto build workflow you have to generate `autobuild` -scripts using _autobuild_ target. - -To generate those scripts proceeds: - -```bash -mkdir -p build -cd build -cmake .. && make autobuild -``` - -You should see _conf.d/autobuild/agl/autobuild_ file now. - -### Available targets - -Here are the available targets available from _autobuild_ scripts: - -- **clean** : clean build directory from object file and targets results. -- **distclean** : delete build directory -- **configure** : generate project Makefile from CMakeLists.txt files. -- **build** : compile all project targets. -- **package** : build and output a wgt package. - -You can specify variables that modify the behavior of compilation using -the following variables: - -- **CONFIGURE_ARGS** : Variable used at **configure** time. -- **BUILD_ARGS** : Variable used at **build** time. -- **DEST** : Directory where to output ***wgt*** file. - -Variable as to be in CMake format. (ie: BUILD_ARGS="-DC_FLAGS='-g -O2'") - -Usage example: - -```bash -./conf.d/autobuild/wgt/autobuild package DEST=/tmp -``` diff --git a/docs/README.md b/docs/README.md deleted file mode 100644 index 39f9209..0000000 --- a/docs/README.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,22 +0,0 @@ -# Introduction - -This document explain how to use the CMake templates files and associated -files to ease developement of AGL application. - -<br> -<br> -<br> -<br> -<br> - -| *Meta* | *Data* | -| -- | -- | -| **Title** | {{ config.title }} | -| **Author** | {{ config.author }} | -| **Description** | {{ config.description }} | -| **Keywords** | {{ config.keywords }} | -| **Language** | English | -| **Published** | Published {{ config.published }} as an electronic book | -| **Updated** | {{ gitbook.time }} | -| **Collection** | Open-source | -| **Website** | [{{ config.website }}]({{ config.website }}) | diff --git a/docs/dev_guide/0_Abstract.md b/docs/dev_guide/0_Abstract.md index a04cc87..88e841b 100644 --- a/docs/dev_guide/0_Abstract.md +++ b/docs/dev_guide/0_Abstract.md @@ -1,21 +1,38 @@ -# Developper Guide: use AGL CMake Templates +# Abstract -## Abstract +Files used to build an application, or a binding project with the AGL +Application Framework. -Files used to build an application, or binding, project with the -AGL Application Framework. +To build your AGL project using these templates, you have to installed them as +a CMake module.
