cmake LINK_DIRECTORIES不起作用,报错的原因

ADD_EXECUTABLE(main main.cpp)

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(main libhello.so)

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(/tmp/t3/include/hello /tmp/t3/lib)

LINK_DIRECTORIES(/tmp/t3/lib)

这种情况下会出错，说找不到引用，原因是ADD_EXECUTABLE出现在LINK_DIRECTORIES之前。正确的做法是将LINK_DIRECTORIES放在ADD_EXECUTABLE之前。如下：

LINK_DIRECTORIES(/tmp/t3/lib)

ADD_EXECUTABLE(main main.cpp)

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(main libhello.so)

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(/tmp/t3/include/hello /tmp/t3/lib)

另外，官网不推荐使用INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES，原文如下：

Note that this command [link_directories] is rarely necessary. Library locations returned by find_package() and find_library() are absolute paths. Pass these absolute library file paths directly to the target_link_libraries() command. CMake will ensure the linker finds them.
