C++20 Module Compilation Fails Due to Missing fmt Include Path in Xmake Build
Xmake Version
xmake v2.9.5+HEAD.d30de52e9
Operating System Version and Architecture
Windows 10 19045.2846
Describe Bug
When attempting to build a project using C++20 modules with the fmt library, xmake fails to find the header file fmt/core.h during the compilation of the mod.mpp module. The error logs indicate that the include path for the fmt library is not properly passed to the compiler, resulting in a fatal error: C1083: Cannot open include file: 'fmt/core.h': No such file or directory. This suggests that the include path for fmt is not being added to the compilation command for the module, even though fmt is correctly required in xmake.lua.
Expected Behavior
The project should compile successfully, and the program should output the formatted string Hello world! as expected.
Project Configuration
-- xmake.lua
add_rules("mode.debug", "mode.release")
add_rules("plugin.compile_commands.autoupdate")
add_requires("fmt")
set_languages("c++20")
target("mod", function ()
set_kind("moduleonly")
add_files("mod.mpp", { public = true })
add_packages("fmt")
set_policy("build.c++.modules", true)
end)
target("main", function ()
set_kind("binary")
add_files("main.cpp")
add_deps("mod")
set_policy("build.c++.modules", true)
end)
// main.cpp
#include <iostream>
import mod;
int main() {
std::cout << mod::format("Hello {}", "world!") << std::endl;
return 0;
}
// mod.mpp
module;
#include "fmt/core.h"
export module mod;
export namespace mod {
using fmt::format;
}

moduleonly target 本身不会编译，是在父 target 里面编译这些 mpp的，所以 package 你也得配置上 public ，目前还不支持对 moduleonly 自动设置 public
Bot detected the issue body's language is not English, translate it automatically.
The moduleonly target itself will not be compiled. These mpps are compiled in the parent target, so you must also configure public for the package. Currently, it is not supported to automatically set public for moduleonly.
with
-- xmake.lua
add_rules("mode.debug", "mode.release")
add_rules("plugin.compile_commands.autoupdate")
add_requires("fmt")
set_languages("c++20")
target("mod", function ()
set_kind("moduleonly")
add_files("mod.mpp", { public = true })
add_packages("fmt", { public = true }) -- <---- change here
set_policy("build.c++.modules", true)
end)
target("main", function ()
set_kind("binary")
add_files("main.cpp")
add_deps("mod")
set_policy("build.c++.modules", true)
end)
it's working, anything else ? can we close this ?
