找不到CSparse问题的解决方案

有关Could not find a package configuration file provided by “CSparse” with any of the following names:问题的解决方案

在编译自己新建的有关g2o后端优化的程序时出现以下错误提示

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:10 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindCSparse.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "CSparse", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "CSparse" with any
  of the following names:

    CSparseConfig.cmake
    csparse-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "CSparse" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "CSparse_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "CSparse" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
  been installed.

表示CSparse找不到，造成这一问题的根本在CMakelist.txt文件中的find_package(CSparse REQUIRED)这一句，无法定位CSparse导致的。

解决方案

1、解决的方法就是将十四讲书中第九讲原程序中自带的cmake文件夹复制到你刚刚建立的工程目录下，该文件夹中定义了编译运行过程中所用到的所有库的路径，使得该文件夹和新建立的工程中的CMakelist.txt文件保持在同一目录下。之后在新建立的工程中的CMakelist.txt中添加list(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake)，这一句用来引用cmake文件夹中赋予的路径，再次编译就通过了。

2、或者未安装CSparse，需要执行以下命令来安装CSparse。

sudo apt-get install libsuitesparse-dev
