Warning Arduino CMakeLists "Policy CMP0022 is not set: INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES"

Question

I'm trying to build an Arduino example without using its IDE. My OS is Windows 8.1 and I'm using the last version of CMake (2.8.12.2) and MinGW (GNU Make 3.82.90).

I downloaded the Arduino CMakeLists and I learned all about make/upload any firmware in my Arduino. I'm using Arduino UNO.

Then, if I modify the CMakeLists saved in ~/arduino-cmake-master/example/CMakeLists.txt (arduino-cmake-master is the repository folder) to build the WiFi example WiFiWebClient too:

...

#Add the WiFi example -> WiFiWebClient
generate_arduino_example(wifi_example
                     LIBRARY WiFi
                     EXAMPLE WiFiWebClient)
...

And execute:

  $ cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles"

  ...

  CMake Warning (dev) in example/CMakeLists.txt:
  Policy CMP0022 is not set: INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES defines the link
  interface.  Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0022" for policy details.  Use the
  cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this warning.

  Target "uno_example" has an INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property.  This should
  be preferred as the source of the link interface for this library but
  because CMP0022 is not set CMake is ignoring the property and using the
  link implementation as the link interface instead.

The problem is the Arduino.cmake because it's not linking correctly with the library WiFi, but it links with the Wire library.

Anyone knows why that warning appears and why Wire links ok but WiFi doesn't?

Thanks!

Note: I'm using original code which is in the repository example, I've not modified this one.

Answer 1

Your question actually has 2 distinct parts:

1. Why does arduino-cmake generate the warning "Policy CMP0022 is not set: INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES..."?
2. Why does make, using the generated MakeFile, fail when building WiFi example?

First off, the arduino-cmake "Policy CMP0022" is just a warning, not an error. As per this cmake article, that CMP policy has been only recently introduced in CMake 2.8.12.

You get this warning simply because arduino-cmake has been created based on an older version of cmake and thus does not specifically support this new policy.

In order to get rid of this warning, the documentation mentions you should add the cmake_policy(SET CMP0022 OLD) command to your cmake configuration.

Unfortunately I tried it in the example CMakeLists.txt to no avail; maybe it has to be set directly in arduino-cmake files (which I have not tested).

Thus, if you want to get rid of this boring warning, it seems the only solution you are left with is to disable all warnings when launching cmake:

cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -Wno-dev

This works fine and has removed all warnings..

Your second problem (the real one I would say) is due to to the structure of WiFi library:

Indeed, as you can see above, it has a utility subdirectory that contains additional source code that cannot be found by arduino-cmake, as by default it searches for source code files only at first level directory.

How to solve it? Just tell arduino-cmake to do a recursive search for the WiFi library; in your CMakeLists.txt, ensure you add the following line:

set(WiFi_RECURSE True)
generate_arduino_example(wifi_example
                     LIBRARY WiFi
                     EXAMPLE WiFiWebClient)

The added set(WiFi_RECURSE True) line just tells arduino-cmake that, for WiFi library, it should recurse through subdirectories when looking for source code.

I have checked it with "Unix Makefiles" (not "MinGW Makefiles" but I guess that won't make any difference) and it worked fine.
