add_executable called with incorrect number of arguments in CMakeLists.txt

cloudlakecho commented 2 years ago

Thanks for reading my issue during installation.

I found the Boost Gil tool recently and tried to use it (to escape from the OpenCV tool ;) ).

So I attempted to build Gil (by cloning the repository master branch) with these command lines:

cd gil
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Actual behavior

but I face these errors:

Expected behavior

Build Success

C++ Minimal Working Example

None because this is from installation.

Environment

Compiler version: gcc (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04) 7.5.0

Build settings:

option(BOOST_GIL_BUILD_EXAMPLES "Build examples" ON)
option(BOOST_GIL_BUILD_HEADER_TESTS "Enable self-contained header tests" ON)
option(BOOST_GIL_ENABLE_EXT_DYNAMIC_IMAGE "Enable Dynamic Image extension, test\
s and examples" ON)
option(BOOST_GIL_ENABLE_EXT_IO "Enable IO extension, tests and examples (requir\
e libjpeg, libpng, libtiff)" ON)
option(BOOST_GIL_ENABLE_EXT_NUMERIC "Enable Numeric extension, tests and exampl\
es" ON)
option(BOOST_GIL_ENABLE_EXT_TOOLBOX "Enable Toolbox extension, tests and exampl\
es" ON)
option(BOOST_GIL_USE_CONAN "Use Conan to install dependencies" ON)
option(BOOST_GIL_USE_CLANG_TIDY "Set CMAKE_CXX_CLANG_TIDY property on targets t\
o enable clang-tidy linting" ON)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11 CACHE STRING "C++ standard version to use (default is\
11)")

Version (Git ref or <boost/version.hpp>): Boost 1.72.0 (I actually installed 1.78 but 1.72.0 showing from cmake ..)
OS: Ubuntu 18.04

It looks like I miss something. Please let me know, thanks.

So I attempted to build Gil

From the README.md: "The Boost Generic Image Library (GIL) is a C++11 header-only library",

As the README.md points out, CMake is dedicated for contributors only. If you wish to contribute, you need to read the warning(s) and instructions in the CONTRIBUTING.md.

@mloskot Thanks for indication in the Read Me file. I actually read it but I still thought I had to compile the Boost Git for using it.

To be clarify "the head only" meaning we don't have to link against binaries because the whole code of the library is contained in headers. The code will be compiled when we include them in the project. Is correct?

@cloudlakecho yes
