Rather than specifying -L flags and specifying library names, there are two other approaches you can take that would be better: 1) Use target_link_directories() in conjunction with target_link_libraries(). 2) Use find_package(Threads) to find pthread, and use find_library() for everything else. https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/find_package.html https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/find_library.html Kyle -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
