Using CMake to create an executable that can run independently on other machines

Hello,

I’m using LibTorch and OpenCV for a program in Cpp. The compilation and building is done on Linux using CMake. The program builds and runs as expected.

I want to use the executable that CMake created on another Linux machine.
The problem is that I don’t want to install either LibTorch nor OpenCV on the other machine. I’d rather supply the user with a single executable if possible.

How can CMake create a single independent executable?
If making just a single file is irrelevant, how can CMake copy all needed libraries to a single directory?

The current CMake file:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
project(prediction)
list(APPEND CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH “libtorch”) # the folder where libtorch in found
set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release)

find_package( OpenCV REQUIRED )
find_package( Torch REQUIRED )

if(NOT Torch_FOUND)
message(FATAL_ERROR “Pytorch Not Found!”)
endif(NOT Torch_FOUND)

message(STATUS “Pytorch status:”)
message(STATUS " libraries: ${TORCH_LIBRARIES}")

message(STATUS “OpenCV library status:”)
message(STATUS " version: ${OpenCV_VERSION}")
message(STATUS " libraries: ${OpenCV_LIBS}")
message(STATUS " include path: ${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS}")

file(GLOB SOURCES
.h"
"
.cpp”
)

include_directories( ${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS} )
add_executable(entrypoint ${SOURCES})
target_link_libraries(entrypoint ${TORCH_LIBRARIES} ${OpenCV_LIBS})
set_property(TARGET entrypoint PROPERTY CXX_STANDARD 14)

Thanks!
