Question

Good day, before fully migrating to waf (1.7.5), I have tried to create a simple project of this structure:

wafproject
├── application
│   ├── main.cpp
│   └── wscript
├── library1
│   ├── foo1.hpp
│   ├── foo2.hpp
│   └── wscript
└── wscript

This is the root wscript:

def options(opt) :
    opt.load('compiler_cxx')

def configure(cnf) :
    cnf.load('compiler_cxx')

def build(bld) :
    bld.recurse('library1')
    bld.recurse('application')

This is the application wscript:

def build(bld) :
    bld( features = 'cxx cxxprogram'
       , target = 'application'
       , source = 'main.cpp'
       , use = ['library1']
       )

This is the library1 wscript

def build(bld) :
    bld( name = 'library1'
       , inludes = '../../'
       , export_inludes = '../../'
       )

(Note: I have tried using target instead of name for library1, and I have also tried enabling cxx cxxshlib features for library1.)

This is the main.cpp:

#include <wafproject/library1/foo1.hpp>
#include <wafproject/library1/foo2.hpp>

int main()
{
}

And this is the error I get:

Setting top to                           : /home/<path>/wafproject 
Setting out to                           : /home/<path>/wafproject/build

['/usr/bin/g++', '../application/main.cpp', '-c', '-o', 'application/main.cpp.1.o']

I do not want to change the way I include the headers, but for that I apparentely need to change the way my project is set up.

I would be glad for any input, thanks.

EDIT: Solved, it was just a typo (inludes instead of includes and export_inludes instead of export_includes).

No correct solution

OTHER TIPS

Since this is the first thing on google for 'header only library waf', I thought I should post the generic solution.

bld(name = 'libname', export_includes = 'PATH/TO/lib/')

Which works for me.
