Is there a proper way to install and link assimp via CMake.
Graphics.cmake
...
message(STATUS "Building the ASSIMP")
set(ASSIMP_BUILD_ASSIMP_TOOLS OFF)
set(ASSIMP_BUILD_TESTS OFF)
set(ASSIMP_INSTALL OFF)
set(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS ON)
add_subdirectory(${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/application/dependencies/ASSIMP)
install(
TARGETS assimp
RUNTIME DESTINATION ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin
LIBRARY DESTINATION ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/lib
ARCHIVE DESTINATION ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/lib
)
message(STATUS "ASSIMP - Done!\n")
...
CMakeLists.txt looks like:
...
set(CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/lib)
set(CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/lib)
set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin)
...
include(Graphics)
set(DEP_EMSDK_LIBS
soil2
assimp
)
...
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME}
${${PROJECT_NAME}_MAIN}
${${PROJECT_NAME}_SOURCES}
${${PROJECT_NAME}_INCLUDES}
${CFG_FILES}
)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} ${DEP_LIBS})
target_include_directories(
${PROJECT_NAME} PUBLIC
$<BUILD_INTERFACE:${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/application/includes>
$<INSTALL_INTERFACE:${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/application/includes>
)
...
I've erased a bunch of redundant staff. Also I've been trying to do a lot of options install(...) however as the result I'm always missing the assimp-vc142-mt.dll in the bin.
If it is essential, the compiler is msvc, and generator Visual Studio 2019. Where did I admit a mistake?
