Introduction

| Dependencies | Options | C++ | Swig | Python 3 | .Net Core | Java | Integration | CI |

OR-Tools comes with a CMake based build (CMakeLists.txt) that can be used on a wide range of platforms (the "C" stands for cross-platform). If you don't have CMake installed already, you can download it for free from http://www.cmake.org/.

CMake works by generating native Makefiles or build projects that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice.
You can either build OR-Tools with CMake as a standalone project or it can be incorporated into an existing CMake project.

Dependencies

OR-Tools depends on several mandatory libraries. You can compile them all at configure time using the option -DBUILD_DEPS=ON (OFF by default) or you can compile few of them using the options below (see CMake Options below).

  • ZLIB (BUILD_ZLIB),

  • Google Abseil-cpp (BUILD_absl),

  • Google Protobuf (BUILD_Protobuf),

  • SCIP (BUILD_SCIP),
    note: You can disable the support of SCIP solvers by using -DUSE_SCIP=OFF (ON by default).

  • GLPK (BUILD_GLPK),
    note: You can disable the support of GLPK solvers by using -DUSE_GLPK=OFF (ON by default).

  • COIN-OR solvers,

    • COIN-OR CoinUtils (BUILD_CoinUtils),
    • COIN-OR Osi (BUILD_Osi),
    • COIN-OR Clp (BUILD_Clp),
    • COIN-OR Cgl (BUILD_Cgl),
    • COIN-OR Cbc (BUILD_Cbc),
      note: You can disable the support of COIN-OR solvers (i.e. Cbc and Clp solver) by using -DUSE_COINOR=OFF (ON by default).

OR-Tools can also optionally (disabled by default) be compiled with support for the following third-party proprietary solvers:

  • CPLEX (USE_CPLEX),
  • XPRESS (USE_XPRESS)

warning: Since these solvers require license and are proprietary, we can't test it on public CI and support can be broken.

Enabling CPLEX Support

To enable CPLEX support, configure with -DUSE_CPLEX=ON and -DCPLEX_ROOT=/absolute/path/to/CPLEX/root/dir, replacing /absolute/path/to/CPLEX/root/dir with the path to your CPLEX installation. CPLEX_ROOT can also be defined as an environment variable rather than an option at configure time.

For ease of migration from legacy make third_party builds, CMake will also read the CPLEX installation path from the UNIX_CPLEX_DIR environment variable, if defined.

Enabling XPRESS Support

To enable XPRESS support, configure with -DUSE_XPRESS=ON and -DXPRESS_ROOT=/absolute/path/to/XPRESS/root/dir, replacing /absolute/path/to/XPRESS/root/dir with the path to your XPRESS installation. XPRESS_ROOT can also be defined as an environment variable rather than an option at configure time.

CMake Options

There are several options that can be passed to CMake to modify how the code is built.
For all of these options and parameters you have to use -D<Parameter_name>=<value>.

All CMake options are passed at configure time, i.e., by running
cmake -S. -B<your_chosen_build_directory> -DOPTION_ONE=ON -DOPTION_TWO=OFF ...
before running cmake --build <your_chosen_build_directory>

For example, to generate build files including dependencies in a new subdirectory called 'build', run:

cmake -S. -Bbuild  -DBUILD_DEPS:BOOL=ON

and then build with:

cmake --build build

Following is a list of available options, for the full list run:

Integrating OR-Tools in your CMake Project

You should be able to integrate OR-Tools in your C++ CMake project following one of these methods.

For API/ABI compatibility reasons, if you will be using OR-Tools inside a larger C++ project, we recommend using CMake and incorporate OR-Tools as a CMake subproject (i.e. using add_sudirectory() or FetchContent).

Consuming OR-Tools in a CMake Project

If you already have OR-Tools installed in your system, you can use the CMake command find_package() to include OR-Tools in your C++ CMake Project.

note: You may need to set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH in order for CMake to find your OR-Tools installation.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)
project(myproj VERSION 1.0)

find_package(ortools CONFIG REQUIRED)

add_executable(myapp main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(myapp ortools::ortools)

Include directories, compile definitions and compile options will be added automatically to your target as needed.

Incorporating OR-Tools into a CMake Super Project

Using add_subdirectory

The recommendations below are similar to those for using CMake within the googletest framework (https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/master/googletest/README.md#incorporating-into-an-existing-cmake-project)

Thus, you can use the CMake command add_subdirectory() to include OR-Tools directly from a subdirectory of your C++ CMake project.
Note: The ortools::ortools target is in this case an ALIAS library target for the ortools library target.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)
project(myproj VERSION 1.0)

add_subdirectory(or-tools)

add_executable(myapp main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(myapp ortools::ortools)

Again, include directories, compile definitions and compile options will be added automatically to your target as needed.

Using FetchContent

If you have CMake >= 3.14.7 you can use the built-in module FetchContent instead. Note: The ortools::ortools target is in this case an ALIAS library target for the ortools library target.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)
project(myproj VERSION 1.0 LANGUAGES CXX)

include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(
  or-tools
  GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/google/or-tools.git
  GIT_TAG        master
)

# After the following call, the CMake targets defined by or-tools
# will be defined and available to the rest of the build
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(or-tools)

add_executable(myapp main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(myapp ortools::ortools)

note: You may need to use the option -DBUILD_DEPS=ON to get all or-tools dependencies as well.
