Disable shared library build and other options with cmake

[pguio]

Hello,
I tried to install the latest autotools free version using cmake and I can't figure out how to disable building the shared library.
I tried
cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=false -DBUILD_STATIC_LIBS=true ..
but it didn't do anything.
Any idea?
More generally is there a way to see the available configuration variables (something like configure --help)? And have all the options regarding threading been ported to cmake? I cannot figure out how to generate benchmarks/plot_benchmarks.m from benchmarks/plot_benchmarks.m.in with cmake
Thank you,
Patrick

More generally is there a way to see the available configuration variables (something like configure --help)?

According to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16851084/how-to-list-all-cmake-build-options-and-their-default-values, the ways to do it include:

• cmake -LA
• ccmake

[slayoo]

cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=false -DBUILD_STATIC_LIBS=true ..
but it didn't do anything.
Any idea?

Shared lib is built unconditionally:

blitz/src/CMakeLists.txt

Line 3 in e1c40df

add_library(blitz SHARED ${blitz_LIB_SRCS})

Static lib is built for non-windows builds:

blitz/src/CMakeLists.txt

Line 12 in e1c40df

if (NOT WIN32)

@papadop would adding support for disabling the shared lib be straightforward?

I cannot figure out how to generate benchmarks/plot_benchmarks.m from benchmarks/plot_benchmarks.m.in with cmake

Added a separate issue: #148

And have all the options regarding threading been ported to cmake?

@pguio : could you elaborate?

I was thinking of the options --enable-threadsafe and --with-tbb primarily

But looking at the configure options, I can also mention boost serialisation options --enable-serialization and --with-boost*, and for benchmarks the option --with-blas

[slayoo]

Boost serialisation is handled:

blitz/blitz/CMakeLists.txt

Line 28 in e1c40df

option(ENABLE_SERIALISATION "Enable serialization support using Boost::Serialization" OFF)

TBB is handled:

blitz/blitz/CMakeLists.txt

Line 6 in e1c40df

option(TBB "Use Intel Threading Building Blocks atomic types" OFF)

Threadsafe is here:

blitz/blitz/CMakeLists.txt

Line 4 in e1c40df

option(BZ_THREADSAFE "Enable Blitz thread-safety features" OFF)

no trace of --with-blas, @papadop @pguio: added a separate issue - #149

CMake has stuff build into it allowing the user to choose shared or static. As long as the Blitz++ CMake build follows the CMake conventions, this should "just happen." https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/variable/BUILD_SHARED_LIBS.html

Hi everybody,

Last week I pushed a PR to build static library under Windows, and manage exported files in relation.
I think the best way if to use the flag BUILD_SHARED_LIBSand add test like that in CMakeList.txt:

if (BUILD_SHARED_LIBS)
	add_library(blitz SHARED ${blitz_LIB_SRCS})
	<...>
endif()

Dear all,

I was wondering whether the issue to disable shared library build had ever been addressed? I can't seem to be able to build with disabled shared library. I have tried with the cmake option BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF without success.
Any suggestions?
Patrick
