libVLC|make: undefined reference to `libvlc_new'

Question

For a small project, I decided to use libvlc hence C/C++.

Using different references I somehow installed opencv and libvlc libraries and also wrote the following CMake file:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(untitled1)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)
SET(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH
        ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake
        ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/config
        ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/config/platform
        )

find_package(OpenCV REQUIRED)
find_package(LIBVLC REQUIRED)



file(GLOB SOURCE_FILES
        "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/*.h"
        "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/*.cpp"
        )
add_executable(untitled1 ${SOURCE_FILES})

# If the package has been found, several variables will
# be set, you can find the full list with descriptions
# in the OpenCVConfig.cmake file.
# Print some message showing some of them
message(STATUS "OpenCV library status:")
message(STATUS "    version: ${OpenCV_VERSION}")
message(STATUS "    libraries: ${OpenCV_LIBS}")
message(STATUS "    include path: ${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS}")

if(CMAKE_VERSION VERSION_LESS "2.8.11")
    # Add OpenCV headers location to your include paths
    include_directories(${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS})
endif()


include_directories(${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS})
include_directories(${LIBVLC_INCLUDE_DIRS})

set(LIBS ${LIBS} ${OpenCV_LIBS})
set(LIBS ${LIBS} ${LIBVLC_LIBRARIES} )



target_link_libraries( untitled1 ${LIBS})

But when I do, cmake and then make I get the following error:

Please help me in going ahead. I am really new to C/C++ cmake based world.

Answer 1

Thanks @Tsyvarev and other people who pinted me in right direction.

My mistake in the CMake file is that I am using wrong variable names or say usng variables whihc are not defined.

LIBVLC_INCLUDE_DIRS to LIBVLC_INCLUDE_DIR

LIBVLC_LIBRARIES to LIBVLC_LIBRARY

Thanks all!
