I had to invest a load of time without success!

This is the project files where I had to installing all not direct dependent boost libraries (A bad HACK!)

If I would add more code in my example project, I would end to install most boost libraries (up to 150) manually.

ben.boeckel · December 31, 2023, 6:29pm

Does it work if you flip the rpath editing and the runtime dependency discovery blocks in the install script?

ClausKlein · December 31, 2023, 6:49pm

My First try was without rpath.
And I dit it also without explizit installing the boost libs.

ClausKlein · December 31, 2023, 6:55pm

What is the reason for this?

If I change this to

POST_INCLUDE_FILES

it Works!

ben.boeckel · December 31, 2023, 7:14pm

It looks like that is the mechanism by which in-project files are excluded from installation by RUNTIME_DEPENDENCY_SET.

ClausKlein · December 31, 2023, 10:47pm

But this is exactly what is needed for transitive runtime-dependencies while using `FetchContents`!

I have a lot of project that use spdlog which use fmt, or I use a project, that depends on 2 other libs which both use magic_enum, and so on. I normally use CPM.cmake to fetch only my direct dependencies. But I need to install them all.

ben.boeckel · January 1, 2024, 2:10pm

If you are vendoring them, you are responsible for their install rules too.

@craig.scott Any suggestions?

ClausKlein · January 1, 2024, 9:00pm

Now I am totally confused.

What means `install(RUNTIME_DEPENDENCY_SET libDeps)` really?

Sorry, I’m not that familiar with CPM to answer that; all I know is that file(GET_RUNTIME_DEPENDENCIES) explicitly excludes build-local files as they are intended to be installed via install()[1]. Personally I’d prefer find_package for dependency management given what I see here as it clearly separates your code from external code, but it does mean using a separate dependency management tool. Something like Conan, vcpkg, Anaconda, Spack, custom superbuild, linux distro, HomeBrew, ports, Nix, etc.

[1] The main reason is that CMake’s export logic is going to assume the targets will also be exported.

ClausKlein · January 2, 2024, 3:45pm

If I understand right, the cpack install the dependent runtime libraries found on my build HOST.

Than I would expect, that DESTDIR=/tmp ninja -C build install will install them too?

ben.boeckel · January 2, 2024, 3:54pm

I don’t think that is CPack logic, but instead some combination of GetPrerequisites and BundleUtilities.

Hello! Sorry for reviving an old topic, but I’m having the same issue, could you please provide the code that you used to fix this problem?

ClausKlein · January 16, 2025, 11:28am

What exactly do you try or want to use from boost?

Feature/extent boost example by ClausKlein · Pull Request #1 · ClausKlein/CPM.cmake
Bump to boost v1.81.0 by ClausKlein · Pull Request #6 · ClausKlein/boost-cmake
Add cmake-init generated CMake files by ClausKlein · Pull Request #4 · ClausKlein/asio

ClausKlein · January 16, 2025, 11:51am

A working example with RUNTIME_DEPENDENCY_SET may be found ClausKlein/docker_build at feature/use-ubuntu-20.04

GulgDev · January 16, 2025, 12:31pm

That worked for me, thank you!
Also, for future viewers of this thread: if it gives you errors on windows, use exclude regexes like this:

install(RUNTIME_DEPENDENCY_SET app_deps
	PRE_EXCLUDE_REGEXES
		[=[api-ms-]=]
		[=[ext-ms-]=]
		[[kernel32\.dll]]
		[[libc\.so\..*]] [[libgcc_s\.so\..*]] [[libm\.so\..*]] [[libstdc\+\+\.so\..*]]
	POST_EXCLUDE_REGEXES
		[=[.*system32\/.*\.dll]=]
		[=[^\/(lib|usr\/lib|usr\/local\/lib\/lib64)]=]
)
