OR-Tools comes with a CMake based build ([CMakeLists.txt](../CMakeLists.txt))
that can be used on a wide range of platforms (the "C" stands for
cross-platform). If you don't have CMake installed already, you can download it
for free from <http://www.cmake.org/>.

CMake works by generating native Makefiles or build projects that can be used in
the compiler environment of your choice.<br>You can either build OR-Tools with
CMake as a standalone project or it can be incorporated into an existing CMake
 project.

<a name="deps"></a>
## Dependencies

OR-Tools depends on severals mandatory libraries. You can compile them all at
configure time using the option `-DBUILD_DEPS=ON` (`OFF` by default) or you can
compile few of them using the options below.

* ZLIB (`BUILD_ZLIB`),
* Google Abseil-cpp (`BUILD_absl`),
* Google Protobuf (`BUILD_Protobuf`),
* SCIP (`BUILD_SCIP`),<br>
  note: You can disable the support of SCIP solvers
  by using `-DUSE_SCIP=OFF` (`ON` by default).

* COIN-OR solvers,
  * COIN-OR CoinUtils (`BUILD_CoinUtils`),
  * COIN-OR Osi (`BUILD_Osi`),
  * COIN-OR Clp (`BUILD_Clp`),
  * COIN-OR Cgl (`BUILD_Cgl`),
  * COIN-OR Cbc (`BUILD_Cbc`),<br>
  note: You can disable the support of COIN-OR solvers (i.e. Cbc and Clp solver)
  by using `-DUSE_COINOR=OFF` (`ON` by default).

OR-Tools also have few (ed compile time) optional solvers support (disabled by
default):

* CPLEX (`USE_CPLEX`),
* XPRESS (`USE_XPRESS`)

**warning: Since these solvers require license and are proprietary, we can't
test it on public CI and support can be broken.**

## CMake Options
There are several options that can be passed to CMake to modify how the code is built.<br>
For all of these options and parameters you have to use `-D<Parameter_name>=<value>`.<br>

## Integrating OR-Tools in your CMake Project

You should be able to integrate OR-Tools in your C++ CMake project following one
of these methods.

For API/ABI compatibility reasons, if you will be using OR-Tools inside a larger
C++ project, we recommend using CMake and incorporate OR-Tools as a CMake
subproject (i.e. using `add_sudirectory()` or `FetchContent`).

### Consuming OR-Tools in a CMake Project

If you already have OR-Tools installed in your system, you can use the CMake
command
[`find_package()`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/find_package.html)
to include OR-Tools in your C++ CMake Project.

note: You may need to set
[`CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/find_package.html#search-procedure)
in order for CMake to find your OR-Tools installation.

```cmake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)
project(myproj VERSION 1.0)

find_package(ortools CONFIG REQUIRED)

add_executable(myapp main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(myapp ortools::ortools)
```

Include directories, compile definitions and compile options will be added
automatically to your target as needed.

### Incorporating OR-Tools into a CMake Super Project

#### Using add_subdirectory

The recommendations below are similar to those for using CMake within the
googletest framework
(<https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/master/googletest/README.md#incorporating-into-an-existing-cmake-project>)

Thus, you can use the CMake command
[`add_subdirectory()`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/add_subdirectory.html)
to include OR-Tools directly from a subdirectory of your C++ CMake project.<br>
Note: The **ortools::ortools** target is in this case an ALIAS library target
for the **ortools** library target.

```cmake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)
project(myproj VERSION 1.0)

add_subdirectory(or-tools)

add_executable(myapp main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(myapp ortools::ortools)
```

Again, include directories, compile definitions and compile options will be
added automatically to your target as needed.

#### Using FetchContent

If you have `CMake >= 3.14.7` you can use the built-in module
[FetchContent](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FetchContent.html)
instead. Note: The **ortools::ortools** target is in this case an ALIAS library
target for the **ortools** library target.

```cmake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)
project(myproj VERSION 1.0 LANGUAGES CXX)

include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(
  or-tools
  GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/google/or-tools.git
  GIT_TAG        master
)

# After the following call, the CMake targets defined by or-tools
# will be defined and available to the rest of the build
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(or-tools)

add_executable(myapp main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(myapp ortools::ortools)
```

note: You may need to use the option `-DBUILD_DEPS=ON` to get all or-tools
dependencies as well.
