FindosgQt

Finds the osgQt utility library from the OpenSceneGraph toolkit.

Note

In most cases, it's recommended to use the FindOpenSceneGraph module instead and list osgQt as a component. This will automatically handle dependencies such as the OpenThreads and core osg libraries:

find_package(OpenSceneGraph COMPONENTS osgQt)

This module is used internally by FindOpenSceneGraph to find the osgQt library. It is not intended to be included directly during typical use of the find_package() command. However, it is available as a standalone module for advanced use cases where finer control over detection is needed. For example, to find the osgQt explicitly or bypass automatic component detection:

find_package(osgQt)

OpenSceneGraph and osgQt headers are intended to be included in C++ project source code as:

example.cxx
#include <osg/PositionAttitudeTransform>
#include <osgQt/GraphicsWindowQt>
// ...

When working with the OpenSceneGraph toolkit, other libraries such as OpenGL may also be required.

Result Variables

This module defines the following variables:

osgQt_FOUND

Added in version 3.3.

Boolean indicating whether the osgQt library of the OpenSceneGraph toolkit was found.

OSGQT_LIBRARIES

The libraries needed to link against to use osgQt.

OSGQT_LIBRARY

A result variable that is set to the same value as the OSGQT_LIBRARIES variable.

Cache Variables

The following cache variables may also be set:

OSGQT_INCLUDE_DIR

The include directory containing headers needed to use osgQt.

OSGQT_LIBRARY_DEBUG

The path to the osgQt debug library.

Hints

This module accepts the following variables:

OSGDIR

Environment variable that can be set to help locate the OpenSceneGraph toolkit, including its osgQt library, when installed in a custom location. It should point to the OpenSceneGraph installation prefix used when it was configured, built, and installed: ./configure --prefix=$OSGDIR.

Deprecated Variables

The following variables are provided for backward compatibility:

OSGQT_FOUND

Deprecated since version 4.2: Use osgQt_FOUND, which has the same value.

Boolean indicating whether the osgQt library of the OpenSceneGraph toolkit was found.

Examples

Finding osgQt explicitly with this module and creating an interface imported target that encapsulates its usage requirements for linking it to a project target:

find_package(osgQt)

if(osgQt_FOUND AND NOT TARGET osgQt::osgQt)
  add_library(osgQt::osgQt INTERFACE IMPORTED)
  set_target_properties(
    osgQt::osgQt
    PROPERTIES
      INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES "${OSGQT_INCLUDE_DIR}"
      INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES "${OSGQT_LIBRARIES}"
  )
endif()

target_link_libraries(example PRIVATE osgQt::osgQt)
