[Help] How to compile with cmake

Ndrs24 · **Author**

My modifications made in moduleconfig.h:

PHP Code:


			
#define MODULE_NAME "TestName"
#define MODULE_VERSION "0.0.1"
#define MODULE_AUTHOR "TestAAuthor"
#define MODULE_URL "TestUrl"
#define MODULE_LOGTAG "TestLogTag"
#define MODULE_LIBRARY "testlib"
#define MODULE_LIBCLASS ""

#define USE_METAMOD

#define FN_AMXX_PLUGINSLOADED OnPluginsLoaded

My file main.cpp

PHP Code:


			
#include "sdk/amxxmodule.h"

void OnPluginsLoaded()
{
    MF_Log("Hello World");
}

My file CMakeLists.txt

PHP Code:


			
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.18)
project(mylib)

set(TARGET_NAME ${PROJECT_NAME})

add_library(${TARGET_NAME} SHARED main.cpp sdk/amxxmodule.cpp)

set(DEP_DIR c:/msdk)
target_include_directories(${TARGET_NAME} PRIVATE
  # https://github.com/alliedmodders/amxmodx.git
  ${DEP_DIR}/amxmodx/public 

  # https://github.com/alliedmodders/hlsdk.git
  ${DEP_DIR}/hlsdk/dlls
  ${DEP_DIR}/hlsdk/public
  ${DEP_DIR}/hlsdk/common
  ${DEP_DIR}/hlsdk/engine

  # https://github.com/alliedmodders/metamod-hl1.git
  ${DEP_DIR}/metamod-hl1/metamod
  sdk
)

set_target_properties(${TARGET_NAME} PROPERTIES PREFIX "")
set_target_properties(${TARGET_NAME} PROPERTIES SUFFIX "_amxx.dll")

set(LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/build/lib)

I'm trying to compile on windows and it gives me this error when compiling:

If I'm not wrong, if you're gonna use CMake in your project, you can't use it lightly, you need to include every source file and create several CMakeLists.txt in hlsdk and amxx containing the files manually. I know is annoying to include every file but that's the way CMake works, it's a build script generator more than a build system.

There's something in CMake called globbing which can help you to point out a directory and include every file in it automatically, but it will give you problems when updating your CMake project in real-time and you need to rebuild the project from time to time.
