I am trying to compile a program that calls libkpmcore; it is not
graphical. My main interest is in tracing through what scandevices()
does.
Since KDE uses CMake, I figured I should too. But I'm having trouble
getting the include paths (and quite possibly the libraries if I get
past that) into the compiler
Eventually I got it to a state where it would call the compiler, but
it couldn't find one of the libkpm headers:
#include <backend/corebackendmanager.h>
Adding (after finding and reading the source for KPMcoreConfig.cmake)
set_target_properties(mypm PROPERTIES INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
${KPMCORE_INCLUDE_DIR})
to CMakeLists.txt got past that, but then the next include failed:
#include <QVector>
Consulting Qt5Config.cmake showed that it in turn included various
files with its components.
I could go on like this, tracing through the includes, reviewing all
the definitions, and updating include directories, link libraries,
etc, as needed, but this is surely not the intended way to do things.
I notice the CMakeLists.txt for partitionmanager, the main user of
kpmcore, does not have that stuff. I've consulted the documentation
for cmake and various tutorials, without much luck.
Maybe the debian build system, which I am not using for my little test
code, fills in some of the blanks?
If cmake --help-module could actually find any of the modules it might
save some work. I think the problem is that the modules are config
modules, FooConfig, instead of find modules, FindFoo. I see no way to
put --help-module into a mode where it will consider Config files.
But even if that worked, I'd need to update the relevant paths.
I think I have the relevant development files installed.
Running on bullseye.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
