C-APIs
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
**XGBoost** implements a C API originally designed for various language
|
|
bindings. For detailed reference, please check xgboost/c_api.h. Here is a
|
|
demonstration of using the API.
|
|
|
|
# CMake
|
|
If you use **CMake** for your project, you can either install **XGBoost**
|
|
somewhere in your system and tell CMake to find it by calling
|
|
`find_package(xgboost)`, or put **XGBoost** inside your project's source tree
|
|
and call **CMake** command: `add_subdirectory(xgboost)`. To use
|
|
`find_package()`, put the following in your **CMakeLists.txt**:
|
|
|
|
``` CMake
|
|
find_package(xgboost REQUIRED)
|
|
add_executable(api-demo c-api-demo.c)
|
|
target_link_libraries(api-demo xgboost::xgboost)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to put XGBoost inside your project (like git submodule), use this
|
|
instead:
|
|
``` CMake
|
|
add_subdirectory(xgboost)
|
|
add_executable(api-demo c-api-demo.c)
|
|
target_link_libraries(api-demo xgboost)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# make
