# Abseil CMake Build Instructions
|
|
|
|
Abseil comes with a CMake build script ([CMakeLists.txt](../CMakeLists.txt))
|
|
that can be used on a wide range of platforms ("C" stands for cross-platform.).
|
|
If you don't have CMake installed already, you can download it for free from
|
|
<http://www.cmake.org/>.
|
|
|
|
CMake works by generating native makefiles or build projects that can
|
|
be used in the compiler environment of your choice.
|
|
|
|
For API/ABI compatibility reasons, we strongly recommend building Abseil in a
|
|
subdirectory of your project or as an embedded dependency.
|
|
|
|
## Incorporating Abseil Into a CMake Project
|
|
|
|
The recommendations below are similar to those for using CMake within the
|
|
googletest framework
|
|
(<https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/master/googletest/README.md#incorporating-into-an-existing-cmake-project>)
|
|
|
|
### Step-by-Step Instructions
|
|
|
|
1. If you want to build the Abseil tests, integrate the Abseil dependency
|
|
[Google Test](https://github.com/google/googletest) into your CMake project. To disable Abseil tests, you have to pass
|
|
`-DBUILD_TESTING=OFF` when configuring your project with CMake.
|
|
|
|
2. Download Abseil and copy it into a subdirectory in your CMake project or add
|
|
Abseil as a [git submodule](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-submodule) in your
|
|
CMake project.
|
|
|
|
3. You can then use the CMake command
|
|
[`add_subdirectory()`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/add_subdirectory.html)
|
|
to include Abseil directly in your CMake project.
|
|
|
|
4. Add the **absl::** target you wish to use to the
|
|
[`target_link_libraries()`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/target_link_libraries.html)
|
|
section of your executable or of your library.<br>
|
|
Here is a short CMakeLists.txt example of a project file using Abseil.
|
|
|
|
```cmake
|
|
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.12)
|
|
project(my_project)
|
|
|
|
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ ${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS}")
|
|
|
|
if(MSVC)
|
|
# /wd4005 macro-redefinition
|
|
# /wd4068 unknown pragma
|
|
# /wd4244 conversion from 'type1' to 'type2'
|
|
# /wd4267 conversion from 'size_t' to 'type2'
|
|
# /wd4800 force value to bool 'true' or 'false' (performance warning)
|
|
add_compile_options(/wd4005 /wd4068 /wd4244 /wd4267 /wd4800)
|
|
add_definitions(/DNOMINMAX /DWIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN=1 /D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS)
|
|
endif()
|
|
|
|
add_subdirectory(abseil-cpp)
|
|
|
|
add_executable(my_exe source.cpp)
|
|
target_link_libraries(my_exe absl::base absl::synchronization absl::strings)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Running Abseil Tests with CMake
|
|
|
|
Use the `-DABSL_RUN_TESTS=ON` flag to run Abseil tests. Note that if the `-DBUILD_TESTING=OFF` flag is passed then Abseil tests will not be run.
|
|
|
|
You will need to provide Abseil with a Googletest dependency. There are two
|
|
options for how to do this:
|
|
|
|
* Use `-DABSL_USE_GOOGLETEST_HEAD`. This will automatically download the latest
|
|
Googletest source into the build directory at configure time. Googletest will
|
|
then be compiled directly alongside Abseil's tests.
|
|
* Manually integrate Googletest with your build. See
|
|
https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/master/googletest/README.md#using-cmake
|
|
for more information on using Googletest in a CMake project.
|
|
|
|
For example, to run just the Abseil tests, you could use this script:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd path/to/abseil-cpp
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake -DABSL_USE_GOOGLETEST_HEAD=ON -DABSL_RUN_TESTS=ON ..
|
|
make -j
|
|
ctest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Currently, we only run our tests with CMake in a Linux environment, but we are
|
|
working on the rest of our supported platforms. See
|
|
https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/projects/1 and
|
|
https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/issues/109 for more information.
