NOTE:此示例代码可以在 https://github.com/dev-cafe/cmake-cookbook/tree/v1.0/chapter-13/recipe-01 中找到,其中包含一个C++示例。该示例在CMake 3.5版(或更高版本)中是有效的,并且已经在GNU/Linux、macOS和Windows上进行过测试。
这个示例中,我们将重用“Hello World”示例,并将代码从Linux或macOS交叉编译到Windows。换句话说,我们将在Linux或macOS上配置和编译代码,并生成Windows平台的可执行文件
准备工作
我们从hello world示例(hello-world.cpp)开始:
#include <iostream>#include <omp.h>#include <string>int main(int argc, char *argv[]){std::cout << "number of available processors: " << omp_get_num_procs()<< std::endl;std::cout << "number of threads: " << omp_get_max_threads() << std::endl;auto n = std::stol(argv[1]);std::cout << "we will form sum of numbers from 1 to " << n << std::endl;// start timerauto t0 = omp_get_wtime();auto s = 0LL;#pragma omp parallel for reduction(+ : s)for (auto i = 1; i <= n; i++){s += i;}// stop timerauto t1 = omp_get_wtime();std::cout << "sum: " << s << std::endl;std::cout << "elapsed wall clock time: " << t1 - t0 << " seconds" << std::endl;return 0;}
我们还将使用与前一个示例相同的CMakeLists.txt:
# set minimum cmake versioncmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5 FATAL_ERROR)# project name and languageproject(recipe-01 LANGUAGES CXX)set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)set(CMAKE_CXX_EXTENSIONS OFF)set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)include(GNUInstallDirs)set(CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR})set(CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR})set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/${CMAKE_INSTALL_BINDIR})# define executable and its source fileadd_executable(hello-world hello-world.cpp)# we will print the system name in the codetarget_compile_definitions(hello-worldPUBLIC"SYSTEM_NAME=\"${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME}\"")install(TARGETShello-worldDESTINATION${CMAKE_INSTALL_BINDIR})
为了交叉编译源代码,我们需要安装一个C++交叉编译器,也可以为C和Fortran安装一个交叉编译器。可以使用打包的MinGW编译器,作为打包的交叉编译器的替代方案。还可以使用MXE (M cross environment)从源代码构建一套交叉编译器:http://mxe.cc
具体实施
我们将按照以下步骤,在这个交叉编译的“hello world”示例中创建三个文件:
创建一个文件夹,其中包括
hello-world.cpp和CMakeLists.txt。再创建一个
toolchain.cmake文件,其内容为: ```cmakethe name of the target operating system
set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Windows)
which compilers to use
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER i686-w64-mingw32-g++)
adjust the default behaviour of the find commands:
search headers and libraries in the target environment
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE ONLY) set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY ONLY)
search programs in the host environment
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM NEVER)
3. 
将`CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER`设置为对应的编译器(路径)。
4. 
然后,通过将`CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE`指向工具链文件,从而配置代码(本例中,使用了从源代码构建的MXE编译器):
```shell
$ mkdir -p build
$ cd build
$ cmake -D CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=toolchain.cmake ..
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 5.4.0
-- Check for working CXX compiler: /home/user/mxe/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32.static-g++
-- Check for working CXX compiler: /home/user/mxe/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32.static-g++ -- works
-- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info
-- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done
-- Detecting CXX compile features
-- Detecting CXX compile features - done
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: /home/user/cmake-recipes/chapter-13/recipe-01/cxx-example/build
- 现在,构建可执行文件: ```shell $ cmake —build .
 
Scanning dependencies of target hello-world [ 50%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/hello-world.dir/hello-world.cpp.obj [100%] Linking CXX executable bin/hello-world.exe [100%] Built target hello-world
6. 
注意,我们已经在Linux上获得`hello-world.exe`。将二进制文件复制到Windows上。
7. 
在WIndows上可以看到如下的输出:
```shell
Hello from Windows
- 如你所见,这个二进制可以在Windows下工作。
 
工作原理
由于与目标环境(Windows)不同的主机环境(在本例中是GNU/Linux或macOS)上配置和构建代码,所以我们需要向CMake提供关于目标环境的信息,这些信息记录在toolchain.cmake文件中( https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-toolchains.7.html#cross-compiling )。
首先,提供目标操作系统的名称:
set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Windows)
然后,指定编译器:
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER i686-w64-mingw32-gcc)
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER i686-w64-mingw32-g++)
set(CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER i686-w64-mingw32-gfortran)
这个例子中,我们不需要检测任何库或头文件。如果必要的话,我们将使用以下命令指定根路径:
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH /path/to/target/environment)
例如,提供MXE编译器的安装路径。
最后,调整find命令的默认行为。我们指示CMake在目标环境中查找头文件和库文件:
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE ONLY)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY ONLY)
在主机环境中的搜索程序:
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM NEVER)
