I've been trying to work this out for a while and I've decided to ask for help.
I'm trying to include mongoose in my project, so in my api_and_json.cpp file I have:
extern "C"{
#include "mongoose/mongoose.h"
}
My cmake file currently looks like this:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
include(ProcessorCount)
ProcessorCount(N)
if(NOT N EQUAL 0)
set(CTEST_BUILD_FLAGS -j${N})
set(ctest_test_args ${ctest_test_args} PARALLEL_LEVEL ${N})
endif()
project(api_and_json)
set(CMAKE_BINARY_DIR ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/bin)
set(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR})
set(LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR})
include_directories("${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}")
add_executable(api_and_json ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/api_and_json.cpp)
I've tried a few permutations, so I've stripped it back to how it was before.
CMake works fine, but when I try make I get:
...

I'm sure I'm missing something simple, any help will be appreciated.
I've looked elsewhere including: What is an undefined reference/unresolved external symbol error and how do I fix it?
This reference did not help me, but the suggestion by Rama did.
You forgot to link against mongoose. Add this line at the end of your CmakeList.txt:
target_link_libraries (api_and_json mongoose)
