build - Recursive CMake search for header and source files -

i new cmake , ask if can in following problem.

i have c++ source , header files in respective folders , now, want make cmake text file recursively searches them.

currently, doing in way:

cmake_minimum_required(version 2.8) project(cardetectordaisy)  file(glob_recurse srcs *.cpp) file(glob_recurse hdrs *.h)  add_executable(stereo_framework  ${srcs} ${hdrs}) target_link_libraries(stereo_framework)  

this creates cardetectordaisy.sln solution file , when try build it, shows error header files not found (no such file or directory).

it grateful if can please me. thanks.

you're missing 1 or more include_directories calls. adding headers list of files in add_executable call doesn't add compiler's search path - it's convenience feature whereby added project's folder structure in ides.

so, in root, have /my_lib/foo.h, , want include in source file as

#include "my_lib/foo.h" 

then in cmakelists.txt, need do:

include_directories(${cmake_source_dir}) 

if, instead want do

#include "foo.h" 

then in cmakelists.txt, do

include_directories(${cmake_source_dir}/my_lib) 

should mention file(glob...) not recommended way gather list of sources - should add each file explicitly in cmakelists.txt. doing this, if add or remove source file later, cmakelists.txt modified, , cmake automatically reruns next time try , build. docs file:

we not recommend using glob collect list of source files source tree. if no cmakelists.txt file changes when source added or removed generated build system cannot know when ask cmake regenerate.
