Before we start creating our source file, we are going to generate the CMakeLists.txt file to allow us to compile our project, structure it, and execute it. The following CMake script is simple and basic but enough to compile and generate the executable:
cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.0)
PROJECT(Chapter4_Phototool)
set (CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
# Requires OpenCV
FIND_PACKAGE( OpenCV 4.0.0 REQUIRED )
MESSAGE("OpenCV version : ${OpenCV_VERSION}")
include_directories(${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS})
link_directories(${OpenCV_LIB_DIR})
ADD_EXECUTABLE(${PROJECT_NAME} main.cpp)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(${PROJECT_NAME} ${OpenCV_LIBS})
The first line indicates the minimum CMake version required to generate our project, the second one sets the project name that we can use as the ${PROJECT_NAME} variable, and the third one sets the required C++ version; in our case...
