A third dependency manager with CMake

cmake third party

Functionality

common third dependencies

• boost
• protobuf
• gflags
• glog
• cityhash
• sparsehash
• thrift
• libevent
• gperftools
• eigen

find package

• first search package in local machine
• if not exist, download package and build

compile proto file

• automatically compile proto files when building

compile thrift file

./hello --logtostderr=1

Usage this project in your project

• copy third_party to your project

• load third dependency cmake file in your CMakeLists.txt

  # third party dependencies cmake
  list(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/third_party)
  
  # boost
  find_package(Boost COMPONENTS system program_options)
  
  # cityhash
  find_package(Cityhash)
  
  # gflags
  find_package(Gflags)
  
  # glog
  find_package(Glog)
  
  # protobuf
  find_package(Protobuf)
  

• proto auto compile

  # compile pb
  include(proto/CMakeLists.txt)
  set_source_files_properties(${PB_SOURCES} ${PB_HEADERS} PROPERTIES GENERATED TRUE)
  
  # add pb dependency
  add_dependencies(your_target ${PB_TARGETS})
