include DLIB and other header files in C++ project - c++

Question

I'm trying to get dlib library working in my C++ project from last 2 weeks and found some solution but still i'm facing errors which i can not understand. As i am newbie to the makefile and dlib guide me what to do with makefile.
The folder structure is like this:
projectDir
|-makefile
|-src
|-CDetector.cpp
|-CDetectot.h
|-CStreamReader.cpp
|-CStreamReader.h
|-include
|-darknet
|-(files).h (other .h files needed by src files)
|-dlib-19.6
|-all
|-source.cpp
|-lots of header files
|-...
|-external_libs
|-libdarknet.a
|-libdarknet.so
The makefile looks like this:
EXE = darknet
OBJ_DIR = obj
CXXFILES = $(shell find src -type f -name '*.cpp')
CXXOBJ = $(patsubst src/%.cpp,obj/%.o,$(CXXFILES))
INCLUDE = -I/include -I/include/darknet
LIBS = external_libs/libdarknet.a
CXXFLAGS = `pkg-config --cflags-only-I opencv` -Wall -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Wfatal-errors -Wwrite-strings -fPIC
LDFLAGS = -lm -pthread -lX11 -DDLIB_JPEG_SUPPORT -ljpeg
all: $(EXE)
$(EXE): $(CXXOBJ)
$(CXX) $(CXXOBJ) -o $(EXE) $(LIBS) $(LDFLAGS)
$(OBJ_DIR)/%.o: src/%.cpp
$(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) $(INCLUDE) $< -c -o $#
$(BUILD)
run: all
./$(EXE)
clean:
-rm -f $(EXE) $(CXXOBJ)
rmdir obj/

Answer 1

It needs some modification as INCLUDE, CXXFLAGS AND LDFLAGS will be
INCLUDE = -Iinclude -Iinclude/darknet `pkg-config --cflags-only-I opencv`
CXXFLAGS = -Wall -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Wfatal-errors -Wwrite-strings -fPIC
LDFLAGS = -lm -pthread -lX11 -DDLIB_JPEG_SUPPORT -ljpeg -lopencv_videoio `pkg-config --libs opencv`
and i'm now using darknet makefile to do it so my makefile looks like
VPATH = ./src/
ALIB = external_libs/libdarknet.a
EXEC = darknet
OBJDIR = ./obj/
CC = g++ -std=c++11
NVCC = nvcc
AR = ar
ARFLAGS = rcs
OPTS = -Ofast
LDFLAGS = -lm -pthread -lX11 -DDLIB_JPEG_SUPPORT -ljpeg -lopencv_videoio `pkg-config --libs opencv`
INCLUDE = -Iinclude -Iinclude/darknet `pkg-config --cflags-only-I opencv`
CFLAGS = -Wall -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Wfatal-errors -Wwrite-strings -fPIC
OBJ = CDetector.o CStreamReader.o
EXECOBJA = CDetector.o CStreamReader.o
EXECOBJ = $(addprefix $(OBJDIR), $(EXECOBJA))
OBJS = $(addprefix $(OBJDIR), $(OBJ))
DEPS = $(wildcard src/*.h) Makefile include/darknet/darknet.h
all: obj results $(ALIB) $(EXEC)
$(EXEC): $(EXECOBJ) $(ALIB)
$(CC) $(INCLUDE) $(CFLAGS) $^ -o $# $(LDFLAGS) $(ALIB)
$(ALIB): $(OBJS)
$(AR) $(ARFLAGS) $# $^
$(OBJDIR)%.o: %.cpp $(DEPS)
$(CC) $(INCLUDE) $(CFLAGS) -c $< -o $#
obj:
mkdir -p obj
backup:
mkdir -p backup
results:
mkdir -p results
.PHONY: clean
clean:
rm -rf $(OBJS) $(ALIB) $(EXEC) $(EXECOBJ)
