Convert makefile in nvsipl into cmakelist

Hi there,
I’m wondering how can we convert makefile of nvsipl test projects like camera and sample into cmakelists?

Dear @bohan.zhang,
Generally, the cmakefile generates Makefile in the end to compile application. We have provided makefile directly to build nvmedia samples.
You may have to check in other forums. I found one thread cmake - Convert Makefile into CMakeLists, where to start - Stack Overflow. Please check if it helps

Hi @SivaRamaKrishnaNV @VickNV ,

I’ve been trying to convert it, but one of the biggest problem is that after converting the nvsipl library is not included.

Some of the problems appreared:
1.In cmakelists how to apply variabes pre-defined in nvdefs.mk
2. In terms of CXXFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and LDLIBS, what’s the alternatives in cmakelists?
3. At the very beginning of the makefile, it has “include …/…/…/…/…/make/nvdefs.mk”, which adds the very basic makefile defined for variables, how to convert this? Is that okay just using include(…/…/…/…/…/make/nvdefs.mk)?
4. How to deal with
ifeq ($(NV_PLATFORM_OS), QNX)
…
endif
and
ifeq ($(NV_PLATFORM_SAFETY), 0)
…
endif
???
Do you have any examples?
Could you please give us an example of how the cmake would be converted based on makefile in nvsipl? So we can have a look and make it easier
