[Solved] Qt 5.1 OpenGL with CMake - Failed to find "glu32" in "".

[Jagholin]

Have encountered the same problem.
Use 2.8.11, and target_include_directories command instead of include_directories pretty much with the same result.

If i find a solution i let you know.

ps And your link
@The windowsSDK (as suggested in http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/29014)@

doesnt seem to work for me... was that thread closed?

[Jagholin]

it seems that WindowsSDK is indeed needed to provide Qt with OpenGL bindings: http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/showthread.php/176620-Need-help-missing-opengl32-lib-glu32-lib .
Qt 5.1 support of OpenGL changed rather significantly, since it provides OpenGL3+ profiles, which it didnt do before. Not surprising that requirements changed.

[Jagholin]

So it worked for me(at least the CMake coniguration, didnt try to actually use it in compilation yet).
Steps to reproduce:

1. I used precompiled version of Qt 5.1(the one with OpenGL x64 for VS2012). To use it should be fine for you, as Qt 5.1 should support OpenGL3.2+ profiles out of the box, i dont think you need to use Glew anymore, just look at http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.1/qtgui/qabstractopenglfunctions.html hierarchy
2. Installed Win SDK 8.0. But i think 7.0 could be fine.
3. added
   set (CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Lib\win8\um\x64")
   line to my cmake file.
   That's where glu32.lib and similar files are located.
4. Run cmake-gui configure&generate, using VS 11 win64 as generator.

thanks, works for me. i added @cmake_policy(SET CMP0020 NEW)@ to avoid warnings for 5.1... i didn't check what this causes on earlier cmake versions (2.8.10 or earlier). Thanks!

Hallo,

I've just encountered the same problem. Just a quick question:

In which cmake-file did you make the change ( .. set (CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ..)) ?

Sorry, I'm pretty new to this.
Thanks!

Chris

I've run into this problem, and the suggested fix doesn't work for me. I've tried everything I can. Can someone iteratively work through this with me sometime soon? It should take someone that knows what is wrong about 10 minutes. I'm not an idiot, I'm just in a rush and I want to know how to solve this.

Here's my more detailed question:

Here's another question that I've responded to trying to raise awareness:

Solved:
set (CMAKE_MODULE_PATH “C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Lib\win8\um\x64”)

[pip010]

same issue none of the solutions work.

C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/8.0/Lib/win8/um/x64/Gdi32.Lib
C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/8.0/Lib/win8/um/x64/GlU32.Lib
C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/8.0/Lib/win8/um/x64/OpenGL32.Lib

those are the files I point to. but after presssing configure it comlains again about glu32 not found, when do that then it complains about Opnegl32 not found and it goes in circle :((((((((((((( WTF ????????????????

Running CMake from a Visual Studio command prompt has been the resolution of this problem for our team.
