Add Directories to Compiler Include Path
Add a Project's Subdirectory
Given the following project structure
include\
myHeader.h
src\
main.cpp
CMakeLists.txt
the following line in the CMakeLists.txt file
include_directories(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/include)
adds the include directory to the include search path of the compiler for all targets defined in this directory (and all its subdirectories included via add_subdirectory()).
Thus, the file myHeader.h in the project's include subdirectory can be included via #include "myHeader.h" in the main.cpp file.
Syntax:
- include_directories([AFTER|BEFORE] [SYSTEM] dir1 [dir2 ...])
Parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
dirN | one ore more relative or absolute paths |
AFTER, BEFORE | (optional) whether to add the given directories to the front or end of the current list of include paths; default behaviour is defined by CMAKE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES_BEFORE |
SYSTEM | (optional) tells the compiler to tread the given directories as system include dirs, which might trigger special handling by the compiler |
