FindTBB is a CMake find package module for Intel® Threading Building Blocks (TBB).

The signature of the TBB find module in CMake is:

find_package(TBB [major[.minor]] [EXACT] [QUIET] [REQUIRED]
             [COMPONENTS [tbbmalloc] [tbbmalloc_proxy] [tbb_preview]]
             [OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS [tbbmalloc] [tbbmalloc_proxy] [tbb_preview]]) 

where the allowed components are tbbmalloc and tbb_preview.

With CMake 3.0 and later

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)
project(MyProject)

list(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "<path to FindTBB module>")

find_package(TBB COMPONENTS tbbmalloc tbbmalloc_proxy tbb_preview)

add_executable(myapp myapp.cc)
target_link_libraries(myapp tbb)

With CMake 2.8 and earlier

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
project(MyProject)

list(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "<path to FindTBB module>")

find_package(TBB COMPONENTS tbbmalloc tbbmalloc_proxy tbb_preview)

add_executable(myapp myapp)
target_include_directories(myapp PRIVATE ${TBB_INCLUDE_DIRS})
target_compile_definitions(myapp PRIVATE ${TBB_DEFINITIONS})
target_link_libraries(myapp ${TBB_LIBRARIES})

The following varibiles may be used by the user to specify the install, include, and/or library directories of TBB.

• TBB_ROOT_DIR - The base directory the of TBB installation.
• TBB_INCLUDE_DIR - The directory that contains the TBB headers files.
• TBB_LIBRARY - The directory that contains the TBB library files.
• TBB_<library>_LIBRARY - The path of the corresponding TBB library. These libraries, if specified, override the corresponding library search results, where may be tbb, tbb_debug, tbbmalloc, tbbmalloc_debug, tbb_preview, or tbb_preview_debug.
• TBB_USE_DEBUG_BUILD - The debug version of tbb libraries, if present, will be used instead of the release version.

In addition, FindTBB uses the following environment variables to find the TBB install directory.

• TBB_INSTALL_DIR
• TBBROOT
• LIBRARY_PATH

This module will set the following variables:

• TBB_FOUND - Set to false, or undefined, if we haven’t found, or don’t want to use TBB.
• TBB_<component>_FOUND - If False, optional part of TBB sytem is not available.
• TBB_VERSION - The full version string
• TBB_VERSION_MAJOR - The major version
• TBB_VERSION_MINOR - The minor version
• TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION - The interface version number defined in tbb/tbb_stddef.h.
• TBB_<library>_LIBRARY_RELEASE - The path of the TBB release version of , where may be tbb, tbb_debug, tbbmalloc, tbbmalloc_proxy, or tbb_preview.
• TBB_<library>_LIBRARY_DEGUG - The path of the TBB release version of , where may be tbb_debug, tbbmalloc_debug, tbbmalloc_proxy_debug, or tbb_preview_debug.

The following varibles should be used to link executables and libraries with TBB:

• TBB_INCLUDE_DIRS - The include directory for TBB.
• TBB_LIBRARIES - The libraries to link against to use TBB.
• TBB_LIBRARIES_RELEASE - The release libraries to link against to use TBB.
• TBB_LIBRARIES_DEBUG - The debug libraries to link against to use TBB.
• TBB_DEFINITIONS - Definitions to use when compiling code that uses TBB.
• TBB_DEFINITIONS_RELEASE - Definitions to use when compiling release code that uses TBB.
• TBB_DEFINITIONS_DEBUG - Definitions to use when compiling debug code that uses TBB.
