#Cmake link library directory install#

For example if you get libusb and try to use it in a qt-creator project, it will not work and you may get unreferenced functions, therefore i had to install msys2 and install libusb from inside msys2, install make and create a QT Cmake project and compile from Qt creator using the msys2 make.

Note that may help: Since i am compiling under windows, i had to install msys2 because the library you have has to be compiled with the same compiler. The project had just only a main.c file, the first parameter in target_link_libraries is the name of your project and the second parameter is the path of the library. Target_link_libraries(cmakecompile 'D:/msys2/mingw64/lib/libusb-1.0.a') I had a project called cmakecompile and i wanted to add libusb to it, the code is as follows, add_executable(cmakecompile main.c) I want to add to the other comments, the project name is the first argument. Version details: CMake 2.8.7 on Linux (Kubuntu 12.04) with GCC 4.6.3

but nothing so far that results in a successful linkage. Target_link_libraries(main libbingitup.a)Īs well as various things with link_directories(.) or add_library(bingitup STATIC IMPORTED) etc. I've tried the obvious but naive ways, like add_executable(main main.cpp libbingitup.a) How do I tell CMake to reproduce this? Not literally this exact makefile, of course, but something that includes an equivalent linking command. My handmade Makefile contains this build rule: main: main.o libbingitup.a

Assume for argument's sake that the source code to the library is unavailable I only have the. For purposes of this example, the project contains a source file (C++, though I don't think the language is particularly relevant) and a static library file which I've copied from elsewhere. I have a small project with a Makefile which I'm trying to convert to CMake, mostly just to get experience with CMake.
