I am trying to build an application that uses the LibUSB library.
In a previous question I asked here I was told to use find_path and find_library to make CMake search for the headers and binaries. However even after manually looking up the library's installation locations with dnf and specifying them as PATHS or HINTS I always still get the error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lUSB
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Below is the relevent cmakelists.txt, my import line in main.cpp is #include <libusb-1.0/libusb.h>
add_executable(project main.cpp)
find_path(LIBUSB_INCLUDE_DIR
NAMES libusb.h
PATHS "/usr/include/"
PATH_SUFFIXES "include" "libusb")
find_library(LIBUSB_LIBRARY
NAMES USB
HINTS "/usr/lib/" "/usr/lib64/" "/usr/include/"
PATH_SUFFIXES "lib" "lib32" "lib64")
target_include_directories(project PRIVATE "/usr/lib/" "/usr/lib64/")
target_link_libraries(project USB)
Clearly I'm doing something wrong in this kludge of hacks, but could someone tell me what?
As shown Back in the original question, here, all of the finding and including functions can be replaced simply with:
target_link_libraries(project_name <other_dependencies> usb-1.0),
in the file where the build target is defined.
