Fast Artificial Neural Network Library (Fork)

Please read the README.md file from the original repo: README.md

Regarding this fork

I found some CMakeLists issues, and I might decide to rewrite some small parts of the code in the future. Since the main repo seems somewhat idle, I created this fork to be able to help out with issues on the repository. I'll later try to do a pull request with the main repo.

The most efficient way to contribute to this repository is by creating pull requests. Issues are welcome obviusly, but I'm not as skilled as I wish I was.

Git-submodule + CMakeLists

Git-submodule

Add the repo to your desired folder, I will use the folder name external/ in this example, like so: git submodule add https://github.com/sciencefyll/fann external/fann

Then initiate it by using: git submodule update --init

If you have made changes, stash them before you pull or you'll get some trouble: git submodule external/fann git stash

And fetch the latest version: git submodule external/fann git pull origin master

You could use a script to keep ur git-submodules up to date:

#!/bin/bash

git submodule update --init
git submodule foreach git stash
git submodule foreach git pull origin master

CMakeLists

Assuming your project structure is as follows, and that every git-submodule is in the folder named external: Project_root_dir/

• /CMakeLists.txt
• /external/fann/*
• /external/CMakeLists.txt
• /src/CMakeLists.txt

Only files and parts of files that are relevant will be shown.

CMakeLists.txt:

# Third party libraries in lib
add_subdirectory(external) # Git-submodule folder

# Our source code folder, usually called src/ or the name of the project
add_subdirectory(src)

external/CMakeLists.txt:

add_subdirectory(fann) # Fann, for simplified neural network development.

src/CMakeLists.txt:

include_directories("${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../external/fann/include

This will allow you to include fann files like this: #include "fann/fann.h".
