Compilation / Integration in own program via FetchContent does not work on Ubuntu 22.04
Hi I originally came from:
https://github.com/pal-robotics/backward_ros/issues/21 (Which btw. still doesn't work). I therefore tried to include backward-cpp directly in my program. When I followed the guide in the readme I first ran into the following issues:
- cmake couldn't clone the repository -> This was due to the
SYSTEM
argument in the Fetch call. This argument is only supported in cmake > 3.25. Ubuntu 22.04 ships 3.22.1. -> RemovingSYSTEM
fixes that - None of the targets
Backward::Interface, Backward::Object, or Backward::Backward
can be found by cmake.
Solution: Directly link against backward_object
So in order to get it working on Ubuntu 22.04 I have now the following CMakeLists.txt
# Also requires one of: libbfd (gnu binutils), libdwarf, libdw (elfutils)
FetchContent_Declare(Backward #Note: For some reason I ran into issues when the target here is called backwards with a small b at the beginning
GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/bombela/backward-cpp
GIT_TAG master # or a version tag, such as v1.6
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(Backward)
add_executable....
