CMake: A Case Study
summary
Shows how to integrate Oracle embedded-SQL into a CMake build by writing a custom FindPackage module to locate Oracle client libraries and headers and by adding CMake functions that invoke Oracle’s preprocessor to convert tens or hundreds of .sql-in-C files into C++ intermediates. Uses custom targets, per-target generator expressions and target properties to pass include dirs and compiler options, stores intermediates in a build subdir, and verifies the result builds and links on Linux.
