I am trying to use cmake to build my project. I want to link against libpng which is present in my system. This is my code:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.11)
project(main)
file(GLOB SOURCES *.c)
add_executable(sphstego ${SOURCES})
find_package(PNG REQUIRED)
include_directories(${PNG_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS})
target_link_libraries(main ${PNG_LIBRARY})
message(STATUS "PNG_LIBRARY: " ${PNG_LIBRARY}) # correct path to so file
My problem is that I want to link statically rather than dynamically. Furthermore, and although the variable set as PNG_LIBRARY is correctly set to /usr/local/lib/libpng.so, I get an error message when running my executable:
error while loading shared libraries: libpng16.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Currently I'm trying to make some spectogram generation for my uni project. I'm trying to build a static library where all the magic will work and just call it from the main() function.
This is my cmake file:
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
project(demo)
find_package(SndFile REQUIRED)
add_subdirectory(spectogram)
add_executable(demo main.cpp)
target_link_libraries (demo LINK_PUBLIC Spectrogram)
target_link_libraries(demo PRIVATE SndFile::sndfile)
I have installed libsndfile via homebrew, but find_package() refuses to locate the lib and throws this error:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:6 (find_package):
By not providing "FindSndFile.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "SndFile", but
CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "SndFile" with any
of the following names:
SndFileConfig.cmake
sndfile-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "SndFile" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"SndFile_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If
"SndFile" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
been installed.
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
I`ve made some research and found out that libsndfile does not have any .cmake configs inside like other libs, that I can link easily (like OpenCV or spdlog). I would really appreciate any help to solve this horror.
With help of Tsyvarev, I figured out the solution. I used the pkg-config module and a custom cmake file, I found on the web. I will include my final cmake in case someone else will need it:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.17)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
project(demo)
# - Try to find libsndfile
# Once done, this will define
#
# LIBSNDFILE_FOUND - system has libsndfile
# LIBSNDFILE_INCLUDE_DIRS - the libsndfile include directories
# LIBSNDFILE_LIBRARIES - link these to use libsndfile
# Use pkg-config to get hints about paths
find_package(PkgConfig QUIET)
if(PKG_CONFIG_FOUND)
pkg_check_modules(LIBSNDFILE_PKGCONF sndfile)
endif(PKG_CONFIG_FOUND)
# Include dir
find_path(LIBSNDFILE_INCLUDE_DIR

PATHS ${LIBSNDFILE_PKGCONF_INCLUDE_DIRS}
)
# Library
find_library(LIBSNDFILE_LIBRARY
NAMES sndfile libsndfile-1
PATHS ${LIBSNDFILE_PKGCONF_LIBRARY_DIRS}
)
find_package(PackageHandleStandardArgs)
find_package_handle_standard_args(LibSndFile DEFAULT_MSG LIBSNDFILE_LIBRARY LIBSNDFILE_INCLUDE_DIR)
if(LIBSNDFILE_FOUND)
set(LIBSNDFILE_LIBRARIES ${LIBSNDFILE_LIBRARY})
set(LIBSNDFILE_INCLUDE_DIRS ${LIBSNDFILE_INCLUDE_DIR})
endif(LIBSNDFILE_FOUND)
mark_as_advanced(LIBSNDFILE_LIBRARY LIBSNDFILE_LIBRARIES LIBSNDFILE_INCLUDE_DIR LIBSNDFILE_INCLUDE_DIRS)

add_subdirectory(spectogram)
add_executable(demo main.cpp)

I am trying to compile openGL file including "png.h" header file,
I got the following error:
Open GL version 2.1 ATI-3.2.24
libpng warning: Application built with libpng-1.4.12 but running with 1.6.37
error: png_create_read_struct returned 0.
Failed to read image texture from ../images/ceramic.png
My Cmakelists.txt file :
cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.13)
project (teapot)
set(CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS ON)
find_package(OpenGL REQUIRED)
find_package(GLUT REQUIRED)
find_package(PNG REQUIRED)
include_directories(${PNG_INCLUDE_DIR})
add_executable(teapot teapot.cpp)
target_link_libraries(teapot ${OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY} ${GLUT_LIBRARIES} ${PNG_LIBRARIES} )
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-I ${CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT} ${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11")
if (APPLE)
set (CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-Wno-deprecated-declarations ${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS}")
endif ()
set_target_properties(teapot PROPERTIES
CXX_STANDARD 11
CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED YES
CXX_EXTENSIONS NO
)
cmake . works fine, but when I execute ./teapot the above error occurred. Thanks for any help!
You've probably only have development libraries installed for libpng-1.4.12 and not for libpng-1.6.37 or some other "non-standard" installation.
But the message seems pretty clear you linked against an older version but have a newer version in the runtime path of loadable libraries.
find_package(PNG REQUIRED) is only going to search the "standard" locations via find_library().
You may also want to update your CMakeLists.txt file to use target_link_libraries( ... PNG::PNG). This is simpler than trying to use the PNG variables that get set; which is missing PNG_DEFINITIONS when compiling your project. Refer to the CMake manual buildsystem section about library targets.
You can inspect the variables by using the message() command to print out their values. Some of them will also be stored in CMakeCache.txt.
If libpng isn't in the standard locations then you have to use target_link_libraries( ... /path/to/lib) and target_include_directories( ... /path/to/lib/headers), etcetera to handle it.
In my test project I have a folder structure of the following
-Root/
-Lib_so/ //folder where it contains all of the .so file
-Lib_a/ //folder where it contains all of the .a file
-Lib_dll/ //folder where it contains all of the dll file
-Includes/ //folder where it contains all of the header files
-main.cpp
I want to write a CMakeLists.txt that generates a single executable that:
automatically link ALL of the .so , .a, and/or dll files just by the folder path shown above.
link installed binaries (such as the GLFW installed by brew on mac)
I have tried the following
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)
project(FirstOpenGL)
set(SOURCE main.cpp)
add_executable(myapp ${SOURCE})
#Below Im trying to link ALL of the libs under the "project's local path"
include_directories(${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/Includes)
link_directories(LinkPathSo ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/Lib_so)
link_directories(LinkPathA ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/Lib_a)
link_directories(LinkPathDll ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/Lib_dll)
target_link_libraries(myapp LinkPathSo)
target_link_libraries(myapp LinkPathA)
target_link_libraries(myapp LinkPathDll)
# Below: Im trying to link the installed binaries on mac
find_package(glfw3 3.2 REQUIRED)
find_package(OpenGL REQUIRED)
target_include_directories(myapp ${OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR})
target_link_libraries(myapp ${OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY})
target_link_libraries(myapp ${OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY})
Thank you all in advance
I'm building a project in Cpp that will communicate with my Java apps via rabbitmq and post updates to twitter. I'm using a few libraries from github
rabbitmq-c
Rabbit installed to /usr/local/lib64
jansson - json library
I installed this a while back for another project, went to /usr/local/lib
twitcurl - C lib for Twitter API
Got installed to /usr/local/lib
If it matters, I'm using CLion as my IDE, which displays jansson and rabbit under auto-complete when defining includes - so that's picking the libs off my system somehow
e.g.
#include <jansson.h>
#include <amqp.h>
I link them using the target_link_libraries(name libs...) and I see output saying
build$ cmake ..
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:30 (target_link_libraries):
Cannot specify link libraries for target "twitcurl" which is not built by
this project.
I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib64
I try to set the CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH to include usr/local/lib and lib64 but doesn't seem to have any effect. Here's my CMakeLists.txt file
#

# information about it at http://www.cmake.org

What's confusing me is another project I have uses jansson by simply adding it here TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(${project_name} dlib jansson)
What did I miss?? Thanks
CMake variables are case sensitive, thus the variable ${project_name} results in an empty string. Use ${PROJECT_NAME} instead, i.e.:
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} twitcurl jansson rabbitmq)
Running CMake with the flag --warn-uninitialized helps you detect mistakes like this.
I use DCMTK in my application and for compilation use cmake file. cmake finds all libraries (at least headers, because in compiles source files to .o files) the only problem is that during linking it tries to find dynamic libraries for DCMTK. I compiled one as static, so I do not have .so files. As a result it gives me error :No rule to make target /usr/lib/libdcmdata.so, needed by dcm_seg. Stop.
I use Ubuntu 14.04 x64.
It confuses me pretty much. So, what's the problems?
cmake file:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)
project(dcm_segm)
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-std=c++0x ${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -g -ftest-coverage -fprofile-arcs")
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
set(OpenCV_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
set(DCMTK_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
set(OpenCV_STATIC ON)
find_package( VTK REQUIRED )
find_package( OpenCV REQUIRED )
find_package( Boost COMPONENTS system filesystem REQUIRED )
find_package( DCMTK REQUIRED )
include(${VTK_USE_FILE} )
link_directories(${OpenCV_LIB_DIR})
add_executable(dcm_seg main.cpp DICOMin.cpp Ensemble.cpp Ensemble3dExtension.cpp point_3d.cpp RegionGrow.cpp)
target_link_libraries(dcm_seg ${VTK_LIBRARIES} ${OpenCV_LIBS} ${DCMTK_LIBRARIES} ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
Can you check the content of ${DCMTK_LIBRARIES} (it should be a list of paths to DCMTK static libraries) ?
you can also check the following CMake entries during the CMake configuration:
DCMTK_DIR /path/to/DCMTK/install
DCMTK_config_INCLUDE_DIR /path/to/DCMTK/install/include/dcmtk/config
DCMTK_dcmdata_INCLUDE_DIR /path/to/DCMTK/install/dcmdata/include/dcmtk/dcmdata
DCMTK_dcmdata_LIBRARY_DEBUG /path/to/DCMTK/install/dcmdata/libsrc/libdcmdata.a
DCMTK_dcmdata_LIBRARY_RELEASE /path/to/DCMTK/install/dcmdata/libsrc/libdcmdata.a
[...]
Another hint: I noted in the past that find DCMTK from a build instead of an install not always works properly.
If you have trouble finding DCMTK with the script provided with CMake
(${DCMTK_LIBRARIES} doesn not content the path to you static DCMTK libs for example) you can try to use this alternative script
