My project needs to link against C:\MinGW\lib\libuuid.a, amoung
others, but it is not being found.
I tried this:
find_library( MinGW_Libraries uuid )
find_library(MinGW_Libraries uuid "C:/MinGW/lib")
Does this work?
Yes it did, thank you.
That lead to the discovery that I also need libole32.a and/or libshell32.a
When doing the same thing, the wrong ones are found:
MinGW_libole32 "C:/WINDOWS/system32/ole32.dll"
MinGW_libshell32 "C:/WINDOWS/system32/shell32.dll"
MinGW_libuuid "C:/MinGW/lib/libuuid.a"
For system libraries like this it is often better to just link them in
with -l. The compiler should be able to find them if it is installed
correctly. There is a good chance CMake will get it wrong. So, the
correct CMake solution for system/compiler libraries is to just use the
name of the library.
Something like this:
if(MINGW)
target_link_libraries(foo uuid ole32 shell32)
endif(MINGW)
