CMake:如何将 INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES 与 ExternalProject 一起使用？

Question

我正在尝试使用 ExternalProject_Add 将外部项目作为库添加到我的项目中:

ExternalProject_Add(
        xgboost
        GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost.git
        GIT_TAG v0.60
        PREFIX ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}
        INSTALL_COMMAND ""
)

另外，我正在定义库目标并将外部项目添加为依赖项:

set(XGBOOST_PREFIX_PATH "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/src")
set(XGBOOST_BINARY_PATH "${XGBOOST_PREFIX_PATH}/xgboost-build")
set(XGBOOST_BINARY_INCLUDE "${XGBOOST_PREFIX_PATH}/xgboost/include;${XGBOOST_PREFIX_PATH}/xgboost/dmlc-core/include;${XGBOOST_PREFIX_PATH}/xgboost/rabit/include")
add_library(libxgboost IMPORTED STATIC GLOBAL)
add_dependencies(libxgboost xgboost)

set_target_properties(libxgboost PROPERTIES
        "IMPORTED_LOCATION" "${XGBOOST_BINARY_PATH}/liblibxgboost.dylib"
        "IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES" "${CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT}"
        "INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES" "${XGBOOST_BINARY_INCLUDE}"
        )

在另一个 CMakeLists.txt 中:

add_library(somelib STATIC SomeLib.cpp)
target_include_directories(somelib PUBLIC libxgboost)
target_link_libraries(somelib libxgboost)

问题是 cmake INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES 不允许导出不存在的包含目录。

有没有其他方法可以让所有依赖 libxgboost 的目标自动包含头文件？

更新:

错误信息:

CMake Error in somelib/CMakeLists.txt:
  Imported target "libxgboost" includes non-existent path

    "build/xgboost/src/xgboost/include"

  in its INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES.  Possible reasons include:

  * The path was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

  * An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.

  * The installation package was faulty and references files it does not
  provide.

我会发布最终的 CMakeLists.txt将 xgboost 包含到您的项目中，它可能对某人有用，解决上述问题的方法是在 cmake 期间创建目录。配置阶段(注意:我使用 OSX 来构建它，所以你需要为 GNU/Linux 使用 liblibxgboost.so 而不是 liblibxgboost.dylib ):

include(ExternalProject)

ExternalProject_Add(
        xgboost
        GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost.git
        GIT_TAG v0.60
        PREFIX ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}
        INSTALL_COMMAND ""
)

set(XGBOOST_PREFIX_PATH "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/src")
set(XGBOOST_BINARY_PATH "${XGBOOST_PREFIX_PATH}/xgboost-build")

set(XGBOOST_LIB_INCLUDE "${XGBOOST_PREFIX_PATH}/xgboost/include")
set(DMLC_LIB_INCLUDE "${XGBOOST_PREFIX_PATH}/xgboost/dmlc-core/include")
set(RABIT_LIB_INCLUDE "${XGBOOST_PREFIX_PATH}/xgboost/rabit/include")
set(XGBOOST_BINARY_INCLUDE "${XGBOOST_LIB_INCLUDE};${DMLC_LIB_INCLUDE};${RABIT_LIB_INCLUDE}")

# Hack to make it work, otherwise INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES will not be propagated
file(MAKE_DIRECTORY ${XGBOOST_LIB_INCLUDE})
file(MAKE_DIRECTORY ${DMLC_LIB_INCLUDE})
file(MAKE_DIRECTORY ${RABIT_LIB_INCLUDE})

add_library(libxgboost IMPORTED STATIC GLOBAL)
add_dependencies(libxgboost xgboost)

set_target_properties(libxgboost PROPERTIES
        "IMPORTED_LOCATION" "${XGBOOST_BINARY_PATH}/liblibxgboost.dylib"
        "INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES" "${XGBOOST_BINARY_INCLUDE}"
)
