/** @page cmake Usage with CMake
@brief Guide how to find and use Magnum with CMake build system

@tableofcontents

Magnum uses CMake build system for both building and integration into your
projects. The logic is in module `FindMagnum.cmake` distributed with the engine
in `modules/` directory, you are encouraged to copy it along with
`FindCorrade.cmake` into your project and add path to the files to
`CMAKE_MODULE_PATH`. Otherwise, if CMake won't be able to find this file in
predefined locations, it will error out even if Magnum might be installed on
the system. If you plan to use Magnum on OpenGL ES, you may also need
`FindOpenGLES2.cmake` or `FindOpenGLES3.cmake` and in some cases also
`FindEGL.cmake`.

Note that the module files are updated as the library evolves, you are
encouraged to update your copies from time to time to avoid strange building
issues.

If you installed the library or its dependencies to non-standard location
(other than `/usr`, e.g. `/home/xyz/projects`), set `CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH` to that
directory to help CMake find it. You can enter more different dirs if you
separate them with semicolons.

Basic usage is:

    find_package(Magnum REQUIRED)

This module tries to find base Magnum library and then defines:

-   `Magnum_FOUND` -- Whether the library was found
-   `Magnum::Magnum` -- Base library imported target
-   `MAGNUM_PLUGINS_DEBUG_DIR` -- Base directory with dynamic plugins for debug
    builds, defaults to `magnum-d/` subdirectory of dir where Magnum library
    was found
-   `MAGNUM_PLUGINS_RELEASE_DIR` -- Base directory with dynamic plugins for
    release builds, defaults to `magnum/` subdirectory of dir where Magnum
    library was found
-   `MAGNUM_PLUGINS_DIR` -- Base directory with dynamic plugins, defaults to
    `MAGNUM_PLUGINS_RELEASE_DIR` in release builds and multi-configuration
    builds or to `MAGNUM_PLUGINS_DEBUG_DIR` in debug builds. You can modify all
    three variable (e.g. set them to `.` when deploying on Windows with plugins
    stored relatively to the executable), the following `MAGNUM_PLUGINS_*_DIR`
    variables depend on it.
-   `MAGNUM_PLUGINS_FONT[|_DEBUG|_RELEASE]_DIR` -- Directory with dynamic font
    plugins
-   `MAGNUM_PLUGINS_FONTCONVERTER[|_DEBUG|_RELEASE]_DIR` -- Directory with
    dynamic font converter plugins
-   `MAGNUM_PLUGINS_IMAGECONVERTER[|_DEBUG|_RELEASE]_DIR` -- Directory with
    dynamic image converter plugins
-   `MAGNUM_PLUGINS_IMPORTER[|_DEBUG|_RELEASE]_DIR` -- Directory with dynamic
    importer plugins
-   `MAGNUM_PLUGINS_AUDIOIMPORTER[|_DEBUG|_RELEASE]_DIR` -- Directory with
    dynamic audio importer plugins

However, this command will try to find only the base library, not the optional
components. The base library depends on Corrade and OpenGL libraries (or
OpenGL ES libraries). Additional dependencies are specified by the components.
The optional components are:

-   `Audio` -- @ref Audio library
-   `DebugTools` -- @ref DebugTools library
-   `MeshTools` -- @ref MeshTools library
-   `Primitives` -- @ref Primitives library
-   `SceneGraph` -- @ref SceneGraph library
-   `Shaders` -- @ref Shaders library
-   `Shapes` -- @ref Shapes library
-   `Text` -- @ref Text library
-   `TextureTools` -- @ref TextureTools library

Platform namespace is split into more components:

-   `GlfwApplication` -- @ref Platform::GlfwApplication "GlfwApplication"
-   `GlutApplication` -- @ref Platform::GlutApplication "GlutApplication"
-   `GlxApplication` -- @ref Platform::GlxApplication "GlxApplication"
-   `NaClApplication` -- @ref Platform::NaClApplication "NaClApplication"
-   `Sdl2Application` -- @ref Platform::Sdl2Application "Sdl2Application"
-   `XEglApplication` -- @ref Platform::XEglApplication "XEglApplication"
-   `WindowlessCglApplication` -- @ref Platform::WindowlessCglApplication "WindowlessCglApplication"
-   `WindowlessEglApplication` -- @ref Platform::WindowlessEglApplication "WindowlessEglApplication"
-   `WindowlessGlxApplication` -- @ref Platform::WindowlessGlxApplication "WindowlessGlxApplication"
-   `WindowlessIosApplication` -- @ref Platform::WindowlessIosApplication "WindowlessIosApplication"
-   `WindowlessNaClApplication` -- @ref Platform::WindowlessNaClApplication "WindowlessNaClApplication"
-   `WindowlessWglApplication` -- @ref Platform::WindowlessWglApplication "WindowlessWglApplication"
-   `WindowlessWindowsEglApplication` -- @ref Platform::WindowlessWindowsEglApplication "WindowlessWindowsEglApplication"

For manual context creation (without application wrappers) there are also
platform-specific context libraries (see @ref platform-custom for more
information):

-   `CglContext` -- CGL context
-   `EglContext` -- EGL context
-   `GlxContext` -- GLX context
-   `WglContext` -- WGL context

The library also contains a set of plugins for importing essential file
formats. Additional plugins are provided in separate plugin repository, see
@ref cmake-plugins for more information. If you are going to use dynamic
plugins (the default) via plugin manager, they don't need to be handled via
CMake. The manager will look for them at runtime at specified location and
loads them dynamically. However, if they are built as static (see
@ref building-plugins for more information), they need to be linked into the
executable and then explicitly imported. Also if you are going to use them as
dependencies, you need to find the dependency and then link to it.

-   `MagnumFont` -- @ref Text::MagnumFont "MagnumFont" plugin
-   `MagnumFontConverter` -- @ref Text::MagnumFontConverter "MagnumFontConverter"
    plugin
-   `ObjImporter` -- @ref Trade::ObjImporter "ObjImporter" plugin
-   `TgaImageConverter` -- @ref Trade::TgaImageConverter "TgaImageConverter"
    plugin
-   `TgaImporter` -- @ref Trade::TgaImporter "TgaImporter" plugin
-   `WavAudioImporter` -- @ref Audio::WavImporter "WavAudioImporter" plugin

Lastly, a few utility executables are available:

-   `distancefieldconverter` -- @ref magnum-distancefieldconverter executable
-   `fontconverter` -- @ref magnum-fontconverter executable
-   `info` -- @ref magnum-info executable
-   `al-info` -- @ref magnum-al-info executable

Note that [each namespace](namespaces.html), all @ref Platform libraries and
each plugin class contain more detailed information about dependencies,
availability on particular platform and also guide how to enable given library
in build and use it with CMake.

Example usage with specifying additional components is:

    find_package(Magnum REQUIRED MeshTools Primitives Sdl2Application)

For each component is then defined:

-   `Magnum_*_FOUND` -- Whether the component was found
-   `Magnum::*` -- Component imported target

If exactly one `*Application` or exactly one `Windowless*Application` component
is requested and found, its target is available in convenience alias
`Magnum::Application` / `Magnum::WindowlessApplication` to simplify porting.
Similarly, if exactly one `*Context` component is requested and found, its
target is available in convenience alias `Magnum::Context`.

The package is found if either debug or release version of each requested
library (or plugin) is found. If both debug and release libraries (or plugins)
are found, proper version is chosen based on actual build configuration of the
project (i.e. `Debug` build is linked to debug libraries, `Release` build to
release libraries). Note that this autodetection might fail for the
`MAGNUM_PLUGINS_DIR` variable, especially on multi-configuration build systems.
You can make use of @ref corrade-cmake "CORRADE_IS_DEBUG_BUILD" preprocessor
variable along with `MAGNUM_PLUGINS_*_DEBUG_DIR` / `MAGNUM_PLUGINS_*_RELEASE_DIR`
variables to decide in preprocessing step.

Features of found Magnum library are exposed in these CMake variables, they
are also available as preprocessor variables if including
@ref Magnum/Magnum.h "Magnum/Magnum.h":

-   `MAGNUM_BUILD_DEPRECATED` -- Defined if compiled with deprecated APIs
    included
-   `MAGNUM_BUILD_STATIC` -- Defined if compiled as static libraries. Default
    are shared libraries.
-   `MAGNUM_BUILD_MULTITHREADED` -- Defined if compiled in a way that allows
    having multiple thread-local Magnum contexts. The default.
-   `MAGNUM_TARGET_GLES` -- Defined if compiled for OpenGL ES
-   `MAGNUM_TARGET_GLES2` -- Defined if compiled for OpenGL ES 2.0
-   `MAGNUM_TARGET_GLES3` -- Defined if compiled for OpenGL ES 3.0
-   `MAGNUM_TARGET_DESKTOP_GLES` -- Defined if compiled with OpenGL ES
    emulation on desktop OpenGL
-   `MAGNUM_TARGET_WEBGL` -- Defined if compiled for WebGL
-   `MAGNUM_TARGET_HEADLESS` -- Defined if compiled for headless machines. See
    @ref MAGNUM_TARGET_HEADLESS documentation for more information.

Workflows without imported targets are deprecated and the following variables
are included just for backwards compatibility and only if
@ref MAGNUM_BUILD_DEPRECATED is enabled:

-   `MAGNUM_LIBRARIES` -- Expands to `Magnum::Magnum` target. Use `Magnum::Magnum`
    target directly instead.
-   `MAGNUM_*_LIBRARIES` -- Expands to `Magnum::*` target. Use `Magnum::*`
    target directly instead.
-   `MAGNUM_APPLICATION_LIBRARIES` / `MAGNUM_WINDOWLESSAPPLICATION_LIBRARIES`
    -- Expands to `Magnum::Application` / `Magnum::WindowlessApplication`
    target. Use `Magnum::Application` / `Magnum::WindowlessApplication` target
    directly instead.
-   `MAGNUM_CONTEXT_LIBRARIES` -- Expands to `Magnum::Context` target. Use
    `Magnum::Context` target directly instead.

Corrade library provides also its own set of CMake macros and variables, see
@ref corrade-cmake "its documentation" for more information.
@ref cmake-plugins "Plugins repository", @ref cmake-integration "Integration repository"
and @ref cmake-extras "Extras repository" have also their own CMake modules.

@section cmake-modules Other CMake modules

The `modules/` directory contains more useful CMake modules:

-   `FindOpenAL.cmake` -- CMake module for finding OpenAL. This is a forked
    version of the upstream module that works properly with
    @ref CORRADE_TARGET_EMSCRIPTEN "Emscripten". Copy this to your module
    directory if you want to use the @ref Audio library on Emscripten.
-   `FindGLFW.cmake` -- CMake module for finding GLFW. Copy this to your module
    directory if you want to use @ref Platform::GlfwApplication.
-   `FindEGL.cmake` -- CMake module for finding EGL. Copy this to your
    module directory if you want to target embedded platforms such as
    @ref CORRADE_TARGET_IOS "iOS", @ref CORRADE_TARGET_ANDROID "Android",
    @ref CORRADE_TARGET_WINDOWS_RT "Windows RT" or
    @ref CORRADE_TARGET_EMSCRIPTEN "Emscripten" or if you want to use EGL
    instead of GLX/WGL/CGL on a desktop platform.
-   `FindOpenGLES2.cmake`, `FindOpenGLES3.cmake` -- CMake module for finding
    OpenGL ES 2.0 / 3.0 library. Copy this to your module directory if you want
    to target @ref MAGNUM_TARGET_GLES "OpenGL ES".
-   `FindSDL2.cmake` -- CMake module for finding SDL 2. Copy this to your
    module directory if you want to use @ref Platform::Sdl2Application.
