The simplest way of doing this would be to add
include_directories(${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/inc)
link_directories(${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/lib)
add_executable(foo ${FOO_SRCS})
target_link_libraries(foo bar) # libbar.so is found in ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/lib
The modern CMake version that doesn't add the -I and -L
flags to every compiler invocation would be to use imported libraries:
add_library(bar SHARED IMPORTED) # or STATIC instead of SHARED
set_target_properties(bar PROPERTIES
IMPORTED_LOCATION "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/lib/libbar.so"
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/include/libbar"
)
set(FOO_SRCS "foo.cpp")
add_executable(foo ${FOO_SRCS})
target_link_libraries(foo bar) # also adds the required include path
If setting the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
doesn't add the path, older versions of CMake also allow you to use target_include_directories(bar PUBLIC /path/to/include)
. However, this no longer works with CMake 3.6 or newer.
