Plugins and additional files
Plugins and additional files#
In case you need other files (like shared libraries) to run your cookbook, you
have to create a new folder in the cookbooks directory that is named after
your cookbook (with words divided by underscores). How to write a plugin
explains how to add a CMakeLists.txt
file to that directory so that your
plugin can be compiled easily (see the bullet point starting with “Put
the my_plugin.cc
file into a directory of your choice…”). Note that
after you have copied and renamed the doc/plugin-CMakeLists.txt
file, you have to modify it in the following way: in the command
SET(TARGET "my_plugin")
, replace "my_plugin"
by the name you want your
shared library to have (usually the name of the cookbook), and in
ADD_LIBRARY(${TARGET} SHARED source_1.cc source_2.cc)
, replace
source_1.cc source_2.cc
by the name of your .cc file.
