CMake error when try to add external library
0
I need to add an external library in my project.
Here is the project structure:
/- src/
- my source files here…
|- dist/
|- FLTK
|- lib/
|- libfltk.a
|- libfltk_forms.a
|- FL
|- build/
|- main.cpp
Here is my CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -g -std=c++17")
find_library(LibFltk ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/dist/FLTK/lib/libfltk.a)
find_library(LibFltk_Forms ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/dist/FLTK/lib/libfltk_forms.a)
if(APPLE)
find_library(COCOA Cocoa)
endif()
include_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/dist/FLTK)
add_executable(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/build/main ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/build/main ${LibFltk} ${COCOA})
Error message:
CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
LibFltk
linked by target "keyplay" in directory /Users/coder/Desktop/sandbox/keyplay
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
When I try to compile my project from terminal it works perfect.
This is how I do it:
g++ -std=c++17 -c main.cpp -I dist/FLTK
&& g++ main.o -o main -L dist/FLTK/lib -lfltk_forms
-lfltk_images
-lfltk
-lfltk_gl
-framework Cocoa
&& ./main
What is wrong in my CMakeLists.txt?
Thanks.

The find_library function expects the second argument to be the filename you are targeting (http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/command/find_library.html), and you need to specify the paths where to look as additional arguments:
find_library(LibFltk libfltk.a PATHS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/dist/FLTK/lib/)
find_library(LibFltk_Forms libfltk_forms.a PATHS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/dist/FLTK/lib/)
