Configure Xerces on ubuntu 12.04 for use with cmake and clang

I want to use Xerces in my project, which I am compiling with cmake and clang.

What I've done:

  • download source
  • extract it to a folder named "xerces-c-3.1.1"
  • cd to this folder
  • ./configure
  • make
  • make install

Then I wrote LINK_DIRECTORIES(/usr/local/lib)to my CMakeLists.txt and #include <xercesc/parsers/XercesDOMParser.hpp>to my main.cpp.

It compiles fine, but the link does not work. I get the following results:

What went wrong and what is the right solution? Thank you very much in advance.

You probably want to replace use link_directorieswith find_libraryand target_link_libraries.

link_directories , - , . , :

, . , find_package() find_library(), . target_link_libraries(). CMake , .

Xerces, , , libxerces-c.a, - :

find_library(XercesLibrary NAMES xerces-c PATHS /usr/local/lib)
if(NOT XercesLibrary)
  message(FATAL_ERROR "Failed to find the Xerces library.")
endif()
...
target_link_libraries(MyExe ${XercesLibrary})

, find_library ; PATHS, /usr/local/lib; (, Windows?) .. , NAME (, CMake - . CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_PREFIXES CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES).

, , . (, XERCES_LIB_DIR), Xerces, PATHS find_library.

FindXercesC - .

include(FindXercesC)
find_package(XercesC REQUIRED)
include_directories( ${XercesC_INCLUDE_DIR} )

target_link_libraries ( ${PROJECT_NAME} ${XercesC_LIBRARY} )
