alglib cmake

alglib-cmake

Set of CMake files to download and build ALGLIB as a standalone project. From the ALGLIB, here a description of the library:

ALGLIB is a cross-platform numerical analysis and data processing library. It supports several programming languages (C++, C#, Delphi) and several operating systems (Windows and POSIX, including Linux). ALGLIB features include:

• Data analysis (classification/regression, statistics)
• Optimization and nonlinear solvers
• Interpolation and linear/nonlinear least-squares fitting
• Linear algebra (direct algorithms, EVD/SVD), direct and iterative linear solvers
• Fast Fourier Transform and many other algorithms

Build

With make facilities:

$ git clone https://github.com/S-Dafarra/alglib-cmake.git
$ cd alglib-cmake
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ [sudo] make install

With IDE build tool facilities, such as Visual Studio or Xcode

$ git clone https://github.com/S-Dafarra/alglib-cmake.git
$ cd alglib-cmake
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
$ cmake --build . --target ALL_BUILD --config Release
$ cmake --build . --target INSTALL --config Release

Link

Once the library is installed, you can link it using CMake with as little effort as writing the following line of code in your project's CMakeLists.txt:

...
find_package(ALGLIB REQUIRED)
...
target_link_libraries( PRIVATE ALGLIB)
...

Note that unless you did not use the default value of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, the in which you installed ALGLIB will need to be appended to the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH enviromental variable to ensure that find_package can find your ALGLIB installation. Alternatively, you can specify the environmental variable

export ALGLIB_DIR=path/where/alglib-cmake/is/installed

See CMake's reference documentation if you need more info on the find_package or target_link_libraries CMake commands.
