I cannot link glm library with my executable. I tried link via
${GLM_INCLUDE_DIRS}, ${GLM_LIBRARIES} and ${GLM_LIBRARY_DIRS} cmake variables but it does not work.
How can I link libraries and inludes of glm with my executable?
I am using find_package() method :
find_package(glm REQUIRED PATHS "${GLM_BINARY_DIR}" NO_DEFAULT_PATH)
And does not have any problem with find_package() but these status messages below displays nothing :
message(STATUS "GLM includes ${GLM_INCLUDE_DIRS}")
message(STATUS "GLM libraries ${GLM_LIBRARY_DIRS}")
>Solution :
Config script for GLM defines IMPORTED target glm::glm.
So the correct way for use GLM in CMake code is to link with that target.
This is explicitly written in the documentation:
set(glm_DIR <installation prefix>/lib/cmake/glm) # if necessary
find_package(glm REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(<your executable> glm::glm)
Variables like GLM_LIBRARIES or GLM_INCLUDE_DIRS are usually defined by Find scripts (shipped with CMake or with the consumer project).
Config scripts, shipped with the installed package, normally defines IMPORTED targets.
GLM doesn’t have a Find script (see FindGLM.cmake not in glm 0.9.7, is it a deprecated way to find libraries in CMAKE?), and PATHS option in find_package invocation explicitly requests Config script.
