Hello everyone, I’m trying to create a statically linked lib-curl executable using CMake but I get undefined reference errors when I try to ‘make’ it, although I can successfully compile it with:
"gcc -static main.c -o curl-try -pthread -lcurl curl-config --static-libs"
my file tree:
proj/build -> empty
proj/main.c
proj/CMakeLists.txt
The CMakelists.txt file:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.9)
project(try_curl)
set(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS OFF)
set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS -static)
set(CURL_LIBRARY “-lcurl”)
find_package(CURL REQUIRED COMPONENTS libcurl curl-config)
include_directories(${libcurl_INCLUDE_DIR})
add_executable(curl-try main.c)
target_link_libraries(curl-try ${CURL_LIBRARIES} )
I’ve some questions could you please answer me;
1-So, what would be the correct CMakelists.txt file without exceeding CMake’ s standart Way ?
2-Which variables should I set to let CMake create the correct makefile?
3-How do I call curl-config executable correctly to get static-libs to link main.c file.
4-When I add curl-config --static-libs to CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS it says curl-config not found but I can successfully call curl config from terminal why it is so ? and how can I overcome that
Thank you, I’m so happy to know that there is such Forum like that.
I’m looking forward to your answers.
