I have cloned libssh library and built it with cmake. Building process was like this :
git clone https://git.libssh.org/projects/libssh.git/
mkdir build in libssh directory.
cd build
cmake -DUNIT_TESTING=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
after this line i got this error about cmocka:
Could NOT find CMocka (missing: CMOCKA_LIBRARIES CMOCKA_INCLUDE_DIR)
then : rm CMakeCache.txt
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
Now I want to use this library on qt but I have some issues there.
I got errors like :
error: undefined reference to `ssh_session_is_known_server'
I can't use any of function or structures on this library. My OS is ubuntu 18.04.

I'm a Linux user who's trying to set up a dev environment on Windows. I've cloned the fmt repo and built it the way I'm used to on Linux:
C:\Users\me\Development> git clone https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt.git
C:\Users\me\Development> cd fmt
C:\Users\me\Development> mkdir build
C:\Users\me\Development> cd build
C:\Users\me\Development> cmake ..
C:\Users\me\Development> cmake --build . --config Release
Now I want to install it so that I can include it in projects. Normally I would $ sudo make install but I'm not sure what to do on Windows and the fmt doc page has nothing for Windows installation.
When I did this same set of steps with FLTK there was a variable that I had to set to help me find things:
# CMakeLists.txt
set(FLTK_DIR "Path/to/installation")
find_package(FLTK REQUIRED NO_MODULE)
But it seems to be looking for the installation point, not the build dir. How can I get this to work?
You can run:
cmake --install . [--prefix <install-dir>]
The prefix is optional. On Windows, the default CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is set to:
C:/Program Files (x86)/<project name>
Which in the case fmtlib would be:
C:/Program Files (x86)/FMT
Another option is to use vcpkg on Windows, which will install fmtlib locally in its own vcpkg install prefix. Then you can use it via:
find_package(fmt REQUIRED)
add_executable(myapp main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(myapp PRIVATE fmt::fmt)
You just have to pass the vcpkg cmake toolchain file to your cmake invocation:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
I'm trying to build this
https://github.com/patrikhuber/eos
but I'm having troubles.
The instructions are pretty simple, as it says on gitHub
To build:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/patrikhuber/eos.git
mkdir build && cd build # creates a build directory next to the 'eos' folder
cmake -G "<your favourite generator>" ../eos -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install/
make && make install # or open the project file and build in an IDE like Visual Studio
I'm using "Ninja" as generator and it looks like the cmake part goes through successfully as I get
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: /home/francesco/eos/build
That's where things stop "working" for me, or where I fail to understand what's next. Following the instructions, I type
make && make install
and I get this message
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
I looked around for solutions but I don't really understand what I am supposed to do: I tried
./configure
but I'm getting
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
Anyone can please help?
Thanks
It always depends on your CMake "Generator". The 'make' is linux/mingw tool/command. For VisualStudio you can use nmake or sln/proj generated stuff.
More reliable could be utilize CMake for building i.e. for "NMake Makefiles" generator:
cmake --build <build folder> --target install
or
cmake --build <build folder> --config release --target install
for VisualStudio generator
I had the same problem, and solved by tinkering with locations for cmake and make. Here's what I used:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
make
I believe /usr/local is the default location (see here)
Similar issue here.
This is my CMakeLists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)
# Locate GTest
find_package(GTest REQUIRED)
include_directories(${GTEST_INCLUDE_DIRS})
# Add test cpp file
add_executable(foo foo.cpp)
# Link test executable against gtest & gtest_main
target_link_libraries(foo ${GTEST_LIBRARIES} ${GTEST_MAIN_LIBRARIES} pthread)
And my foo.cpp:
#include <gtest/gtest.h>
TEST(sample_test_case, sample_test)
{
EXPECT_EQ(1, 1);
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
testing::InitGoogleTest(&argc, argv);
return RUN_ALL_TESTS();
}
Now, all works fine when using the g++ compiler. However, when attempting to use QNX's compiler, ntox86-c++, I run into this problem:
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:97 (MESSAGE):
Could NOT find GTest (missing: GTEST_LIBRARY GTEST_INCLUDE_DIR
GTEST_MAIN_LIBRARY)
I am on Ubuntu using the ntox86-c++ compiler, googletest, and cmake-gui.
What gives?
Google test was probably not properly installed (libgtest-dev may install only source files that needed to be compiled). I had the same problem and I followed the instructions from http://www.eriksmistad.no/getting-started-with-google-test-on-ubuntu/
sudo apt-get install libgtest-dev
sudo apt-get install cmake # install cmake
cd /usr/src/gtest
sudo cmake CMakeLists.txt
sudo make
#copy or symlink libgtest.a and libgtest_main.a to your /usr/lib folder
sudo cp *.a /usr/lib
This worked for me.
As explained by #detrick, the Ubuntu package libgtest-dev only installs sources, so you need to build and install the libraries yourself.
However, there is a much simpler way for building and installing since Ubuntu 18.04 than the manual commands in other answers:
sudo apt install libgtest-dev build-essential cmake
cd /usr/src/googletest
sudo cmake .
sudo cmake --build . --target install
ntox86-c++ looks like a cross-compiler, libgtest-dev package does not provide compiled library for the target platform (QNX).
Since year 2014 compiled libraries was dropped from libgtest-dev and has been added again in Ubuntu-20.04 focal, so find_package(GTest REQUIRED) does not work on Ubuntu-16.04 xenial and Ubuntu-18.04 bionic. The reason is given in /usr/share/doc/googletest/README.Debian (/usr/share/doc/libgtest-dev/README.Debian) and in e.g. in /usr/src/googletest/googletest/docs/V1_7_FAQ.md "Why is it not recommended to install a pre-compiled copy of Google Test (for example, into /usr/local)" section. Difference in compiler flags for the library and for a test could generate incompatible executable code. The problem with 18.04 and 16.04 is the reason why I have decided to add another answer to the old question.
add_subdirectory could be used to compile gtest provided by system package
set(GTest_ROOT /usr/src/googletest/googletest)
add_subdirectory(${GTest_ROOT}
"${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/googletest" EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)
add_executable(test test.cpp)
target_link_libraries(test gtest_main)
# or just gtest if main function is defined
Instead of using system package for googletest sources there are at least 2 variants how to obtain particular version from git (besides obvious submodule), see
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FetchContent.html
https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/master/googletest/README.md
Some time ago I created a dockerfile and it helps me to keep a kind of recipe for installing later on google test on my systems:
apt-get install -y git g++ make cmake
git clone https://github.com/google/googletest.git
cd googletest
mkdir gbuild && cd gbuild && cmake .. && make
cp -r googletest/include/gtest /usr/local/include
cp gbuild/googlemock/gtest/lib*.a /usr/local/lib
cp gbuild/googlemock/lib*.a /usr/local/lib
I hope it helps :)
To be honest, I recently started working with find_package in CONFIG-mode... Is there an easy way to install packages globally on Windows 10?
Or I must manually set -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and build all stuff by my hand?:
cmake . -Bbuild/debug -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX=d -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="install"
cmake --build build/debug --target install
cmake . -Bbuild/release -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="install"
cmake --build build/release --target install
All I want is - register the package once and forget about it. After the package is registered all commands like find_package(X CONFIG REQUIRED) must work well... Do all paths must be determined manually?
I am trying to build the C++ library for Apache Thrift and I am getting a cmake error that I cannot quite decipher, this is the series of steps I followed to get the error
git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/thrift.git
cd thrift/lib/cpp
mkdir cmake-build
cmake ..
And the error I get is
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:162 (include):
include could not find load file:
ThriftMacros
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:164 (ADD_LIBRARY_THRIFT):
Unknown CMake command "ADD_LIBRARY_THRIFT".
Has someone else encountered this error before as well?
This isn't the way to build it. You need to build from the root directory as instructed otherwise, you will miss a whole slew of CMake definitions.
From the root repository directory:
mkdir cmake-build && cd cmake-build
cmake .. -DBUILD_CPP:BOOL=ON
