[INSTALL] Unify cmake install functions and dynamically set component dependencies #3368

dbarker · 2025-04-18T19:05:57Z

Fixes #3293 as followup to #3220

Changes

Unifies the cmake install commands into functions
- otel_add_component()
  - Create a component with targets and optional files for install
- otel_install_components()
  - Install all components created
- otel_install_cmake_config()
  - Installs the opentelemetry-cpp-config.cmake` and version files.
- otel_install_thirdparty_definitions()
  - Installs the third-party definitions file (cmake search modes and built-with versions)
Removes the static component definitions and mappings
- component to target, component to component, and component to thirdparty dependency mappings are now determined dynamically based on the CMake target properties LINK_LIBRARIES and INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES.
Adds opentelemetry-cpp:: alias targets to support install and unify the public cmake interface to opentelemetry-cpp
- The same opentelemetry-cpp::<target> names imported with find_package can now be used when opentelmetry-cpp is built directly as a submodule (add_subdirectory) in a larger project.
- Adds a test in ci to verify the alias targets are created for the api and sdk components when using CMake's FetchContent module.
- Updates the INSTALL documentation to add notes on FetchContent usage

Hi @owent, This PR is based on your requests for followup to #3220. Can you take a look and give some feedback?

Hi @owent, This PR is based on your requests for followup to #3220. Can you take a look and give some feedback?

Sorry for the delay. I will review it some time later.

Great job. I have a few questions after a quick look.
It's a big PR and I will test it locally later.

cmake/otel-install-functions.cmake

cmake/otel-install-functions.cmake

+  endforeach()
+
+  configure_file(
+    "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake/templates/thirdparty-dependency-definitions.cmake.in"


Maybe it's better to use the simular path as below? ("${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/templates/thirdparty-dependency-definitions.cmake.in")

Good catch. Your change is right. It should use CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR to ensure the project builds/installs correctly if used as a submodule.

I've pushed a commit to use PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR here and where we set/get properties used for install. That should work better when this project is used as a submodule/subdirectory in a larger project.

@owent - for when you get back from holiday :)

I've added a new test using CMake's FetchContent module and updated INSTALL documentation to include this as a supported approach to incorporate opentelemetry-cpp as a sub-module/sub-directory in an external CMake project.

Can we also generate the target list comments in cmake/templates/opentelemetry-cpp-config.cmake.in?

Yeah. That is a good idea. What do you think about just removing the current comments listing targets and components then adding a comment pointing to the component-definitions.cmake file installed? That file contains all the information - just not in an .rst format.

Added a follow up issue. #3398

Excellent job. I have already tested in my project. It works well.

This says it all. Ok to merge.

Yes, LGTM. I think we can continue to work on generating document comments in another PR.
