cmake in linux ubuntu

Hi,

.dll files are only for Windows. Do you have a Linux build of that library ?

Leopold · wrote on 15 Jun 2020, 06:06

Hi SGaist,
thank you, at first glance this was easy.Now I have a librosco.so, librosco.so.2 and librosco.so.2.0.0 in my source folder and /source/lib they are set to rwx/rwx/rw but files are not found.

librosco is built and installed with cmake so it is super easy.
After you built librosco just call sudo make install then add the path where the library was installed to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH if it's not a directory already in your PATH variable.
Now you can just use find_package(librosco)

Hi Vronin,
I could install librosco but when I search for the package i get this answer
:```
Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done
Detecting CXX compile features
Detecting CXX compile features - done
Defaulting to Linux build environment.
CMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:229 (find_package):
By not providing "FindLIBROSCO.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "LIBROSCO",
but CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "LIBROSCO" with any
of the following names:

LIBROSCOConfig.cmake
librosco-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "LIBROSCO" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"LIBROSCO_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If
"LIBROSCO" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
been installed.

when I search for the library i get this fault:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:229 (find_library):
find_library called with incorrect number of arguments

the same when i write find_file.
When i read the man for  find_library or find_file  only one argument is needed , the rest is optional. Am I right?

@Leopold said in cmake in linux ubuntu:

In what folder?

I think you missed this part:

@VRonin said in cmake in linux ubuntu:

add the path where the library was installed to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH if it's not a directory already in your PATH variable.

Leopold · 15 Jun 2020, 09:56

Hi I did the sudo make install in the librosco build folder there it was the makefile
adding to LD_LIBRARY_PATH was activated.
I do not know where it is installed.

You should see the path in the output of "make install"

i found them in /usr/lib

SGaist · wrote on 15 Jun 2020, 20:04

Are you using CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH as @VRonin suggested ?

Yes, i have it in the code

This is wrong. See the documentation - you need to pass a variable, not the content of a variable

Hi both,
as I tried the path with quotation marks as well and as variable only librosco in small letters (I have tried all forms of writing) and nothing helped , could you please give me the examples.

VRonin · wrote on 17 Jun 2020, 08:21

As I said:

@VRonin said in cmake in linux ubuntu:

use find_package(librosco)

You are using find_library that tryes to link to a dll (which is already wrong) and it contains no infos on the dependancies

set( CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH =/usr/lib)

Remove this line, it just creates a mess as it might remove search paths. CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH should be set on the command line (if you are using Qt Creator you have to set it in the project configuration, on the left vertical bar, the wrench icon). /usr/lib is already in PATH so you should actually do nothing
