The Shark Build System Setup

Some information on Shark’s configuration options for CMake is already provided on the installation page. We here give supplemental information for developers.

How to Add Examples, Unit Tests and New Files

How to add a unit test to the existing setup?

Under the assumption of your test implementation residing in Shark/Test/mytest.cpp, add a line reading SHARK_ADD_TEST( mytest.cpp mytest ) to the file Shark/Test/CMakeLists.txt.

How to add a new example to the existing setup?

Under the assumption of your example implementation residing in Shark/examples/myexamples.cpp, add a line reading SHARK_ADD_EXAMPLE( myexample.cpp myexample ) to the file Shark/examples/CMakeLists.txt.

How to add header and/or source files to the library?

Under the assumption of a file myfile.h/cpp residing in Shark/include/shark/Core add the lines include/shark/Core/myfile.h and include/shark/Core/myfile.cpp to CORE_HEADERS and CORE_SRCS in Shark/CMakeLists.txt. In general, your files need to be added to the toplevel CMakeLists.txt to be compiled and/or installed. For specific instructions regarding unit tests and examples, see the instructions listed before.
