Common cmake

The tutorials in this documentation were built on Linux and Window with this CMakeLists.txt file:

(assuming a sub directory named tutorials with a target per cpp file)

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0.2)

project (canvascv-tutorials)

find_package(OpenCV 3.1.0 REQUIRED)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)

# add include directories to the project
include_directories(
    ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/tutorials
    ${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS}
)

file(GLOB_RECURSE TUTORIAL_SRCS
    "tutorials/*.cpp"
)

if(WIN32)
    find_library(CanvasCV_LIB canvascv "C:/Program Files/canvascv 1.0.0/lib")
    include_directories("C:/Program Files/canvascv 1.0.0/include")
else()
    find_library(CanvasCV_LIB canvascv "/usr/local/lib")
    include_directories(/usr/local/include)
endif()

message ("Building these tutorials:")
foreach ( file ${TUTORIAL_SRCS} )
    get_filename_component( target_name ${file} NAME_WE )
    message ( "Example '${target_name}' will be created")
    add_executable(${target_name} ${file})
    target_link_libraries (${target_name} ${CanvasCV_LIB} ${OpenCV_LIBS})
endforeach()

Linux command line

cd projectDir
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
ls

Windows command line

This should be done from a Developer Command Prompt for VS2015 (Open it from the Start menu):

cd projectDir
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" ..

Now depending if you're linking with a Debug or Release version (usually Release):

msbuild ALL_BUILD.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release
dir Release\*.exe

OR

msbuild ALL_BUILD.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Debug
dir Debug\*.exe
