cmake DeepStream nvgstiva-app_sources

juan.suero · February 6, 2018, 3:46am

Your DeepStream SDK samples use a Makefile to build.
But my IDE Clion from JetBrains forces me to use cmake as a build system.

I need an IDE that lets me navigate references.

The only IDE ive been able to get working on the TX2 is CLion ( debugger still doesnt work )

I dont want to try another IDE. I just want to finish this cmake that mimics your Makefile.

But i keep getting this error…
CMakeFiles/nvstgiva-app3.dir/src/nvgstiva_app.c.o: In function bus_callback': /home/nvidia/nvgstiva-app_sources/nvgstiva-app3/src/nvgstiva_app.c:89: undefined reference to NVIVA_APP’

i tried this but doesnt work.
add_executable(nvstgiva-app3 ${nvstgiva-app3_SOURCES} ${nvstgiva-app3_INCLUDES} )
target_link_libraries(nvstgiva-app3 ${nvstgiva-app3_LIBRARIES} -lgstnvivameta -lnvid_mapper)

set_target_properties(nvstgiva-app3 PROPERTIES LINK_FLAGS “-lgstnvivameta -lnvid_mapper”)

Hi,

Here is a CMakeLists.txt example for your reference:
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1026656/jetson-tx2/compile-cuda-program-with-dynamic-parallelism/post/5221874/#5221874

Ex.

...
include_directories(
    /add/include/path/here
)
link_directories(
    /add/link/path/here
)
...
target_link_libraries(
    -lgstnvivameta -lnvid_mapper
)

Thanks.

i tried that style but it didnt work. i ended up taking out the target_link libraries and this worked…

so now how do i call it from a pipeline
how do i integrate it into app?

We don’t have much experience in this. Other users may share experience/guidance about Makefile programming.

zodiacon · December 17, 2019, 4:28am

nVidia guys,
How are the you building and debugging your samples/apps? What IDE are you using?
Is it all command line stuff?
The thing I am missing is real world guidance on actually incorporating DS SDK into an application - it is an SDK after all. It’s not about being able to build the sample apps.

DaneLLL · December 26, 2019, 8:23am

Hi,
By default we would suggest users modify config files and simply run 'deepstream-app -c YOUR_CONFIG_FILE.
IF the default code does not fit your usecase and you need to do customization, we would suggest build it on device(Jetson platforms or dGPU) directly.

zodiacon · December 26, 2019, 8:41am

Hi,

Thank you for your response.
Since DS is an SDK I would not expect to just run prebuilt examples as a typical use case.
Let’s assume I want to build it on the Jetson directly - again - my question is why is there no CMAKE config officially provided by nVidia? Why use the old GNU MAKE that is difficult to support??
Maybe I’m missing something, but it seems this is as difficult as it can be, instead of simplifying it with a nice CMAKE that anyone can use with their favorite tools/IDE.

Personally, I’m coming from a Windows background and I find the Linux tools sadly lacking in simplicity. Visual Studio Code is the closest that works on Linux as well, and there is decent support for CMAKE by an extension. Please provide one that can be used as a starting point for new projects based on the DS SDK.

Hi,
In current releases, the samples are released with Makefile. We will evaluate the request of supporting CMAKE in future releases.

zodiacon · January 8, 2020, 6:49am

Can I get a straight response - what IDE are you using for building and debugging?
Especially debugging
