Link SDL2_net with CMake

I'm trying to link SDL2_net (SDL_net 2.0) to my project via CMake, but after searching around I've yet to find a solution. My CMakeLists.txt currently looks like this:

1 cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.7)
2 project (SDL_net_test)
3 include (FindPkgConfig)
4 include (FindSDL_net)
5 
6 pkg_search_module (SDL2 REQUIRED sdl2)
7 pkg_search_module (SDL_NET REQUIRED sdl2_net)
8 
9 include_directories (${SDL2_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${SDL_NET_INCLUDE_DIRS})
10 
11 add_executable (SDL_net_test main.cpp)
12 target_link_libraries (SDL_net_test ${SDL2_LIBRARIES} ${SDL_NET_LIBRARIES})

However, when I attempt to run CMake it gives me the following error(s):

-- Could NOT find SDL_net (missing: SDL_NET_LIBRARIES SDL_NET_INCLUDE_DIRS) 
-- Checking for one of the modules 'sdl2_net'
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:659 (message):
None of the required 'sdl2_net' found
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:7 (pkg_search_module)


CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
SDL_NET_INCLUDE_DIR (ADVANCED)
   used as include directory in directory /home/neboula/Programming/sandbox/sdl2_net
   used as include directory in directory /home/neboula/Programming/sandbox/sdl2_net

SDL_NET_LIBRARY (ADVANCED)
    linked by target "SDL_net_test" in directory /home/neboula/Programming/sandbox/sdl2_net

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I have installed the SDL2_net-devel package from my package manager (dnf on Fedora 29), and I've successfully linked SDL2 and SDL2_image previously basing it on this answer, which worked brilliantly. I also found this, but I'm not entirely sure how to use it. How should I go about this?

Solution

  • Since the person who provided an answer only posted a comment about it, I'll put it down here myself.

    The solution was seemingly very simple: I had written pkg_search_module (SDL_NET REQUIRED sdl2_net), while it was supposed to be pkg_search_module (SDL_NET REQUIRED SDL2_net).
