CLion CMake ld: library not found + Vulkan and OpenGL questions - c++

Question

I am trying to get a basic setup with GLFW and Vulkan for an upcoming project. I was trying to get a simple HelloTriangle Example to work. While the Vulkan library is building normally, the GLFW is throwing a ld: library not found for -lglfw3 on running the program. I am also unsure whether my HelloTriangle example is a working example; it was the most basic example I have to seen to test Vulkan.
Here is my CMakeList.txt:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16)
project(OpenGLRun)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)
set(glfw3_DIR /usr/local/Cellar/glfw/3.3.2/lib/cmake/glfw3)
add_executable(OpenGLRun main.cpp)
find_package(vulkan REQUIRED)
find_package(glm REQUIRED)
find_package(OpenGL REQUIRED)
find_package(glfw3 REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(OpenGLRun Vulkan::Vulkan)
target_link_libraries(OpenGLRun glm)
target_link_libraries(OpenGLRun OpenGL::GL)
target_link_libraries(OpenGLRun glfw3)
And the main.cpp example code that I was trying to run for proof that everything was working:
#define GLFW_INCLUDE_VULKAN
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>
#include <cstdlib>
const uint32_t WIDTH = 800;
const uint32_t HEIGHT = 600;
class HelloTriangleApplication {
public:
void run() {
initWindow();
initVulkan();
mainLoop();
cleanup();
}
private:
GLFWwindow* window;
void initWindow() {
glfwInit();
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CLIENT_API, GLFW_NO_API);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_RESIZABLE, GLFW_FALSE);
GLFWwindow *window = glfwCreateWindow(WIDTH, HEIGHT, "Vulkan", nullptr, nullptr);
}
private:
void initVulkan() {
}
void mainLoop() {
while (!glfwWindowShouldClose(window)) {
glfwPollEvents();
}
}
void cleanup() {
glfwDestroyWindow(window);
glfwTerminate();
}
};
int main() {
HelloTriangleApplication app;
try {
app.run();
} catch (const std::exception& e) {
std::cerr << e.what() << std::endl;
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
And finally, for the future, would you recommend package managers in C++/CMake?
Thanks in advance

The GLFW Build Guide suggests that whether you are compiling and linking GLFW along with your application, or linking an installed GLFW to your application, you can link GLFW to your application using the glfw target (not glfw3). Change the target_link_libraries() command in your CMake to this:
target_link_libraries(OpenGLRun PRIVATE glfw)
Note, you should always provide the scoping argument when using the target-based commands such as this, to tell CMake whether this is a build requirement, a usage requirement, or both.
