Hi, I have successfully built a DLL under Linux following instructions on this board. Now I'm trying to re-create the same process but using CMake. I got bits and pieces to work (toolchain file, mingw32 etc.), however, I was not able to add the `ACS_Source` file to the include directories. Has anyone successfully built a SC Custom Study DLL using CMake? Basically this command works: /usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ -march=x86-64 -mtune=x86-64 -O2 -shared -static -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -s -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -I /home/me/.wine/drive_c/SierraChartLinux/ACS_Source/ -w ./src/MySCStudy.cpp -o ./build/MySCStudy.dll
But inside my CMakeLists, I was not able to specify the include directory for some reason. Any ideas? |

Any ideas? I have been struggling with this for a while now. No matter what I tried I could not get CMake to include the Sierra Chart headers.

this is part of what i am using for my project: ( i have a symlink to the ACS_Sources dir on /home/alex/.sierracharts_source ) cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.13) SET(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++") project(ajp_study) SET(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Win32) SET(CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING 1) SET(CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_LINK_C_FLAGS "-fno-exceptions -fpermissive") SET(CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_LINK_CXX_FLAGS "-fno-exceptions -fpermissive") SET_PROPERTY(GLOBAL PROPERTY TARGET_SUPPORTS_SHARED_LIBS TRUE) SET(CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_PREFIX "") MESSAGE( "64 bits compiler detected" ) SET(CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR x86_64) SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-march=x86-64 -O2 -shared -static -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -s -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -fpermissive -std=gnu++11") SET(CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX "_64.dll") add_subdirectory(src) #subdirs(src) #gentoo linux target_include_directories(ajp_study PUBLIC /home/alex/.sierracharts_source /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/mingw/include/) #opensuse #target_include_directories(ajp_study PUBLIC /home/alex/.sierracharts_source /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include) target_compile_options(ajp_study PUBLIC -fpermissive -Wno-deprecated -Wno-ignored-attributes -fms-extensions) install(TARGETS ajp_study RUNTIME DESTINATION "specified path to install XYZ" LIBRARY DESTINATION "specified path to install XYZ") |

Thanks! I got my CMake setup working. It was quite difficult to figure that stuff up honestly :) Do you find that the DLLs you build with CMake are larger than the command line build or the Remote build? Also did you have to build a cmake toolchain file to make Cmake find the mingw compiler? Thank you very much for the help! Much appreciated. |

yes, they are larger than when I build them on VS Also did you have to build a cmake toolchain file to make Cmake find the mingw compiler?
I just reference the mingw compiler and header files in the cmake. Apart from that, I don't see any differences between compiling on VS or mingw, in terms of instability. note: that I then reference the "src" subdirectory, and its in there that I add the source files ( which I didn't post :P ) |
