How do I add more include paths in the basilisk build process?

[ephraim271]

What would I have to change in the conanfile.py so that it also builds some external libraries and my custom basilisk c modules can use them?

[dfbowden]

Did you ever find an answer to this? I have a similar issue, I need to use a 3rd party library with my external module, but basilisk doesn't seem to compile/link subfolders within an external module.

Thanks, this helps me a lot!

Poking around in CMakeLists.txt, I noticed that it looks for a file called Custom.cmake in each module (including external modules). I can't find any documentation on it, but I think I'm gonna try to use that file, because it seems like this must be the sort of thing that it's meant for.

@dfbowden thanks a lot that seems like a better way, will try

@dfbowden anything to share on Custom.cmake? I'm also trying to figure out how to link external libraries with external modules, preferably without having to mess around in Basilisk's build process directly.

[dfbowden]

I haven't been able to get my library compiled/linked yet. I did verify that Custom.cmake gets executed, but I'm a cmake noob, so I'm still trying to figure out how to get everything linked properly.

I've figured out how to get external paths used in custom module build: #907 (comment)

TBD on external paths in custom messages.

How are you importing external modules in general?

I'm having trouble doing the same thing.
