Ok, I found the problem. First (facepalm), the spot where libraries are defined is now pretty obvious to me.

Anyway, the original author included tests for systems WIN32, UNIX, and APPLE in CMakeLists.txt. None of these matched for my Linux Mint system, apparently, so I just edited the file to force use of the UNIX library options. At least building works without error now.

I shall contact the original author (if possible) to discuss this.

But I don't need further help on this mailing list for now.

Thanks.

Best,

I recently purchased the OpenGL SuperBible ed. 7. I downloaded the sample code and tried to build it.

This is my very first exposure to cmake; I am reading through the documentation and did a quick scan of the gmane archive but cannot seem find an answer to my question. (Probably my fault; my search skills may be bad because I have been up programming for 30 hours :-P

AFAIK there is no mailing list or forum for OpenGL SuperBible; could be wrong on this too.

I am running Linux Mint 17.1.

I did:

cmake .
make

Then cmake gave output:
.
.
.
Linking CXX executable bin/alienrain
CMakeFiles/alienrain.dir/src/alienrain/alienrain.cpp.o: In function `sb6::application::run(sb6::application*)': alienrain.cpp:(.text._ZN3sb611application3runEPS0_[_ZN3sb611application3runEPS0_]+0x21): undefined reference to `glfwInit'

So "glfwInit" is a reference to an entrypoint in libglfw.so; this library exists on my machine at /usr/lib/libglfw.so. Moreover, when I do

ldconfig -p

I see that this library is listed.

QUESTION: Is there a quick way to get cmake to generate more output about how it is linking the executable? Or do I have another problem?

Best,
