They aren't installed by default on FreeBSD. If you have declared them as dependencies then CMake should automatically add the correct include and library paths to the compiler commands lines for you. My guess is that the cmake file is just assuming they are all in /usr/lib and the includes are in /usr/include which would be true on Linux. For external dependencies in cmake you should have: find_package(packagename REQUIRED) for each library (or library package) in the library CMakeLists.txt. If they are not there then you need to fix the cmakelists.txt until all the libraries you depend on have a find_package line (unless multiple libraries are part of the bundle). At this point cmake will sort out the compiler command lines for you. And will still work on linux. > Thanks, > Pietro > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >help
