Ceres Solver is an open source C++ library for modeling and solving large, complicated optimization problems. It can be used to solve Non-linear Least Squares problems with bounds constraints and general unconstrained optimization problems. It is a mature, feature rich, and performant library that has been used in production at Google since 2010. For more, see official website.

Usage¶

hunter_add_package(ceres-solver)
find_package(Ceres CONFIG REQUIRED)

target_link_libraries(... PRIVATE ceres)

with SuiteSparse¶

To get ceres-solver with SuiteSparse and static LAPACK add a local cmake/Hunter/config.cmake file with the following contents:

hunter_config(ceres-solver
  VERSION ${HUNTER_ceres-solver_VERSION} CMAKE_ARGS
    LAPACK=ON
    SUITESPARSE=ON
    CXSPARSE=ON # since 1.14.0-p1
)

Don’t forget to add enable_language(Fortran) in your projects CMakeLists.txt.

with SuiteSparse and dynamic LAPACK¶

To get ceres-solver with SuiteSparse and dynamic LAPACK add a local cmake/Hunter/config.cmake file with the following contents:

hunter_config(ceres-solver
  VERSION ${HUNTER_ceres-solver_VERSION} CMAKE_ARGS
    LAPACK=ON
    SUITESPARSE=ON
    CXSPARSE=ON # since 1.14.0-p1
)
hunter_config(LAPACK
  VERSION ${HUNTER_LAPACK_VERSION}
  CMAKE_ARGS BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON
)

With a dynamic LAPACK library the enable_language(Fortran) is not needed. But when shipping your project one must also ship the shared LAPACK library.
