Hello all, The project I am working on uses pkg-config --cflags option to get the include directories of an external project, and I am trying to add the output to the compile_flags option used in set_target_properties. As well as the pkg-config directory, some other flags are specified and well recognized by the IDE we are building the project for (Visual Studio). The code stands as specified here (run_pkgconfig is a macro): RUN_PKGCONFIG("--cflags" "ACE" result LINKER_FLAGS) SET(LINKER_FLAGS "${LINKER_FLAGS} -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS -DACE_AS_STATIC_LIBS") SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES( myproject PROPERTIES COMPILE_FLAGS ${LINKER_FLAGS} )
pkg-config output: -Ic:/ace/ace_wrappers/include The LINKER_FLAGS variable is well set to with this content: -Ic:/ace/ace_wrappers/include -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS -DACE_AS_STATIC_LIBS Prior to this, some include directories from our own project are added using include_directories statement. INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES( ${MYPROJECT_DIR_PATH} ${MYPROJECT_DIR_PATH}/component ${MYPROJECT_DIR_PATH}/error ${MYPROJECT_DIR_PATH}/libraries) The project is then built successfully until we open the visual studio solution generated. After exploring the C/C++ command line properties of the project, it seems that all the include directories but the one generated by pkg-config are missing: /I"c:/ace/ace_wrappers/include" /D "_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS" /D "ACE_AS_STATIC_LIBS" If I don't add the pkg-config output, then all the directories included with include-directories appear to be ok: /I"C:/git-projects/myproject" /I"C:/git-projects/myproject/component" /I"C:/git-projects/myproject/error" /I"C:/git-projects/myproject/libraries" /D "_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS" /D "ACE_AS_STATIC_LIBS" So the question is, does compile-flags option override all the directories included with include_directories? If that's the case, then how do I add external include directories through pkg-config? I am pretty new at cmake so any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
