If you haven't done so already, integrate the Abseil dependency +[CCTZ](https://github.com/google/cctz) into your CMake project. Consequently, the +target 'cctz' needs to be declared in your CMake project **before** including Abseil.<br> +Note: If you want to build the Abseil tests, you'll also need [Google Test](https://github.com/google/googletest). To disable Abseil tests, you have to pass +`-DBUILD_TESTING=OFF` when configuring your project with CMake. + +2. Download Abseil and copy it into a subdirectory in your CMake project or add +Abseil as a [git submodule](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-submodule) in your +CMake project. + +3. You can then use the CMake command +[`add_subdirectory()`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/add_subdirectory.html) +to include Abseil directly in your CMake project. In addition, it's possible to +customize the name of the `cctz` target with the `-DABSL_CCTZ_TARGET=*my_cctz*` option. + +4. Add the **absl::** target you wish to use to the +[`target_link_libraries()`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/target_link_libraries.html) +section of your executable or of your library.<br> +Here is a short CMakeLists.txt example of a project file using Abseil. + +```cmake +cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.12) +project(my_project) + +set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ ${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS}") + +if(MSVC) + # /wd4005 macro-redefinition + # /wd4068 unknown pragma + # /wd4244 conversion from 'type1' to 'type2' + # /wd4267 conversion from 'size_t' to 'type2' + # /wd4800 force value to bool 'true' or 'false' (performance warning) + add_compile_options(/wd4005 /wd4068 /wd4244 /wd4267 /wd4800) + add_definitions(/DNOMINMAX /DWIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN=1 /D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS) +endif() + +add_subdirectory(googletest) +add_subdirectory(cctz) +add_subdirectory(abseil-cpp) + +add_executable(my_exe source.cpp) +target_link_libraries(my_exe absl::base absl::synchronization absl::strings) +``` + +### Available Abseil CMake Public Targets + +Here's a non-exhaustive list of Abseil CMake public targets: + +```cmake +absl::base +absl::algorithm +absl::container +absl::debugging +absl::memory +absl::meta +absl::numeric +absl::strings +absl::synchronization +absl::time +absl::utility +``` |
