Since you don't include the error messages from the compiler, we are
reduced to guessing here:
1) Don't add -I flags to compiler command line by modifying the
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS directly. Instead, use either the include_directories
command (if you want to specify the include directories for multiple
targets), or the target_include_directories command:
target_include_directories(main PRIVATE
include build/deps/yara/src/yara/libyara/include)
2) CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS is used for compiling, not linking. One way to get
the linker command line you want is to change
target_link_libraries (main yaracpp yara pthread ssl crypto)
to
target_link_libraries (main
-Lbuild/src build/deps/yara/src/yara/libyara/.libs
-lyaracpp -lyara pthread ssl crypto)
However, better practice would be to create import targets for the
libraries you want to use. For example (assuming that yaracpp is a
shared library):
add_library(yaracpp SHARED IMPORTED)
set_target_properties(yaracpp PROPERTIES
IMPORTED_LOCATION
"build/deps/yara/src/yara/libyara/.libs/libyara.so"
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
"build/deps/yara/src/yara/libyara/include")
Then, you simply add yaracpp to your target_link_libraries command and
can skip the target_include_directories command. Even better practice
would be to use the find_library command to find the libyara library -
this way, your CMakelists.txt would also work for non-Unix target
systems like Windows.
For more information, I highly recommend reading the CMake
documentation, particularly
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.15/manual/cmake-buildsystem.7.html
