I think I’ve found a way around this for now, but I’m curious why this happens. Maybe it’s a bug?
I tried to use vcpkg
, and their docs say to invoke cmake like this, specifying the toolchain file:
cmake -B build-debug -S . -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/MyStuff/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
I’m trying to use clang 15, so in my root CMakeLists.txt I did this:
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER /Path/to/clang+llvm-15.0.1-x86_64-apple-darwin/bin/clang++)
This causes the cmake run to repeat itself and then barf an error where it can’t find a dependency:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:29 (find_package):
By not providing "Findrange-v3.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "range-v3",
but CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "range-v3" with any
of the following names:
range-v3Config.cmake
range-v3-config.cmake
But if I specify everything on command line, it all seems to work fine.
cmake -B build-debug -S .
