Hi folks, I'm just learning Cmake here in order to build the csound6~ object for windows and M1, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm able to build the Max sample projects with their CMakeLists.txt files, but when I try to add csound as a dep I get errors. My file contents are below. If anyone has a working cmake for building the API on Mac, that would be lovely!

thanks

My attempt (not working):

include(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../../max-sdk-base/script/max-pretarget.cmake)

#############################################################
# MAX EXTERNAL
#############################################################

# copied from Pd version
find_package(Csound)

include_directories(
"${MAX_SDK_INCLUDES}"
"${MAX_SDK_MSP_INCLUDES}"
"${MAX_SDK_JIT_INCLUDES}"
)

# copied from Pd version
target_include_directories(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE
  ${CSOUND_INCLUDE_DIRS})

file(GLOB PROJECT_SRC
     "*.h"

)
add_library(
${PROJECT_NAME}
MODULE
${PROJECT_SRC}
)

include(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../../max-sdk-base/script/max-posttarget.cmake)

Well I got it building by giving up on find_package and using the below. But if anyone has suggestions on what I was doing wrong, I'm all ears. Now to try this out on Windows....

current CMakeLists.txt:

include(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../../max-sdk-base/script/max-pretarget.cmake)
set(CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE ON)

I think you got this sorted, but I usually do something like this:

include_directories("C:\\Program Files\\Csound6_x64\\include\\csound")

find_library(CSOUND_LIBRARY NAMES csound64 HINTS "c:\\Program Files\\Csound6_x64\\lib")

Csound on Windows has been isntalling to that directory for quite some time now, so I consider it a pretty safe bet - for Csound6 at least.

Well, failing on Windows. Neither find_package(Csound) nor find_path(CSOUND_HEADER_PATH csound.h) are working, though I have installed csound. If anyone has suggestions for making it go on Windows, that would be great. the Cmake file is here:

thanks!
