ld:library not found for -lSFML
« on: October 18, 2021, 09:45:43 am »
Hi everyone!
After trying to build my SFML project with CMake on MacOS, I get this error at the linking process:

ld: library not found for -lSFML
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[2]: *** [app/SortingAlgo] Error 1
make[1]: *** [app/CMakeFiles/SortingAlgo.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

I have GitHub repository made for the project: https://github.com/Zsivony1es/SortingAlgo.git
Is there a quick fix for this?
Thanks for any replies in advance!

The quick fix is to learn how CMake works and what target exist instead of just guessing and adding SFML as linking target. ;)

You can find the different CMake targets listed here: https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.5/compile-with-cmake.php#building-sfml
And here's an example CMake file: https://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=24070.0
