cmake - ultra app kit

[Erwin Saavedra]

hi guys,

does anyone knows how to configure the project using cmake? thanks!

[Josh]

What is the purpose of using cmake if you already have a Visual Studio project?

[Erwin Saavedra]

hi josh,

i am trying to use clion

[Josh]

On Linux?

[Erwin Saavedra]

windows

Apparently CLion does work with the MSVC compiler, but you would have to manually create a cmake build script, which is extremely complicated.

[Erwin Saavedra]

ohh ok i'll keep trying and report any findings, thanks!

If the goal is to just create a project, premake is another option and creates less garbage.

hey guys,

got it to work in CLion with this (debug):

project(ultra00)

include_directories("C:/Program Files/Ultra App Kit/Include")
include_directories("C:/Program Files/Ultra App Kit/Include/Libraries/FreeType/include")
include_directories("C:/Program Files/Ultra App Kit/Include/Libraries/sol3/include")

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)

add_executable(ultra00 ultra00.cpp)

add_definitions(-MTd)
add_compile_definitions(ultra00 _ULTRA_APPKIT)
add_compile_definitions(ultra00 _DEBUG)
target_link_libraries(ultra00 "C:/Program Files/Ultra App Kit/Libs/Win64/App Kit_d.lib")
 

will keep you guys posted if i figure out something better!

Neat.

I'm actually curious if a premake script can be made to generate projects across IDEs/Platforms. I also want to see if I can get a nice CodeLite setup on Linux as that's my go to IDE on that platform.

You don't need these two include directories.

@Erwin Saavedra just need to make it cross platform:

IF(UNIX)

ELSE (WIN32)
   
ENDIF (UNIX)

set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Debug)

 

@reepblue you have  cmake generator CodeLite - Unix Makefiles

For me im switched to Visual Code on linux, far better then anything else.
