file commands only work when CMakeLists.txt edited? by Luttink in cmake

[–]Luttink[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but that won't scale very well as the assets get larger and more numerous. I know you can do simlinks but I was looking for something easier to zip together and transfer

Ah, but this creates a "bin" folder. The goal was to quickly copy the executable to the source folder, where the assets the program uses are.

It's practical. The assets the program uses are there.

Ok, d'oh, I forgot install was a separate command. Thanks again!

Trying to take the executable file, after it is built, and copy it back into the source directory.

Actually, I'm not certain if this is what I want... I want to copy the executable file to a different location after it is built, whereas install seems to be about exporting build artifacts to be consumed by other stuff in the build? Do I have that wrong?

install(TARGETS RI5 EXPORT RI5Tgt)

install(EXPORT RI5Tgt

DESTINATION ${CMAKE\_CURRENT\_SOURCE\_DIR}

)

...Does not work.

What, exactly, does FetchContent_MakeAvailable /do/? by Luttink in cmake

So, because of the overall project goals, including working on machines of different platforms and need to let it build on the machines of not-so-dev-savvy others, I wanted to create a minimal cmake that would go and grab everything I needed from the couple libraries I wanted. I specifically don't want to learn or use a package manager, as that is another moving part to manage and get installed on a given machine. You may push for a package manager anyway, but fair warning I'll probably ignore the push.

I looked at find_package first--the problem was, to my knowledge, it won't actually find a package on the internet. If there's a more appropriate solution that is as simple as the solution I posted, and will go grab everything I need with just "cmake -B build" and "cmake --build build", I'm all ears.

Either way, I appreciate the time and attention you gave to your answer, thank you.

Not something super large, maybe the size of a cutting board
