This is not officially supported by the libuv project, and issues encountered using this should NOT be reported to the libuv upstream project - instead report issues here.
This repository contains a CMakeLists.txt capable of building libuv without requiring the use of Autotools or GYP. It may be of use to projects which use CMake and want to take a dependency on libuv without requiring switching build systems to GYP, or using an ExternalProject in CMake. It is of particular use for people wanting completion from an IDE such as CLion, which relies on CMake as the project file format.
It is currently known to work on Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris, though it may also work on Windows (untested as I don't have easy access to a Windows box).
The position from the UV maintainers appears to be that there will not be a supported CMake build added. I will try to maintain this as new stable versions of libuv are released, as it is used in my own projects. The current version is v1.6.1.
- Add this repository as submodules (libuv itself is pulled in as a submodule of this repository), or archive the contents of this repository and its submodules and copy them into your own project. Always use the branch corresponding to the libuv version being targeted.
- Add lines similar to the following to your
CMakeLists.txtfile:
add_subdirectory(vendor/libuv)
include_directories(vendor/libuv/libuv-1.6.1/include)- The
uvtarget is produced by theCMakeLists.txtfile - it can be linked using the following:
target_link_libraries(my_target uv)- By default the tests and benchmarks for libuv are not built. To enable them, set the
LIBUV_BUILD_TESTSoption toON.
- Please report issues to the issue tracker on this repository, and NOT to the upstream project.
