Non Qt project (Cmake) - troubles with linking to library

I freshly installed Qt Creator with MinGW and Cmake. I'm trying to play with OpenGL. So far I got this code:

#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>

int main()
{
    if (!glfwInit()) {
        return -1;
    }

    return 0;
}

My CMakeLists.txt is like this:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
project(world_0)

aux_source_directory(. SRC_LIST)
file(GLOB SRC_LIST *.cpp&#41;

find_package(GLFW3 REQUIRED)

include_directories(F:/u_qt/libs/glfw/glfw-3.0.1/include)
link_directories(F:/u_qt/libs/glfw/glfw-3.0.1/lib-mingw)

add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} ${SRC_LIST})
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} glfw3)

I've added FindGLFW3.cmake from "FindGLFW3.make". But still got 'undefined reference' error.

I will be glad to hear any feedback from you guys. Cheers.

Solution

  • From the FindGLFW3.cmake file you linked to, it looks like the last half of your CMakeLists.txt should be changed to something like:

    find_package(GLFW3 REQUIRED)

include_directories(${GLFW3_INCLUDE_PATH})
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} ${SRC_LIST})
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} ${GLFW3_LIBRARY})
