I'm trying to build a simple application using the freetype library on Windows 64. Freetype lib was compiled from src on windows 64
simple programm #include <ft2build.h> #include FT_FREETYPE_H int main (int argc, char** argv) { FT_Library ft; if (FT_Init_FreeType(&ft) != 0) { //err } } Added environment variable FREETYPE_DIR and cmake script cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.22) cmake_path(CONVERT $ENV{COMPILER} TO_CMAKE_PATH_LIST COMPILER) set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "${COMPILER}/clang++.exe") set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER "${COMPILER}/clang.exe") set(CMAKE_RC_COMPILER "${COMPILER}/llvm-rc.exe") set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release) set(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH "../bin") project (text) file(GLOB SRC "./src/main.cpp" ) find_package(Freetype MODULE REQUIRED) add_executable (${PROJECT_NAME} ${SRC}) target_include_directories(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE "./include" PRIVATE ${FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS} ) target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} Freetype::Freetype ) but I'm stuck, get a linker error, although freetype library is linked ninja: Entering directory `./build' [1/1] cmd.exe /C "cd . && C:\PROGRA~2\MICROS~2\2022\BUILDT~1\VC\Tools\Llvm\x64\bin\CLANG_~1.EXE -fuse-ld=lld-link -nostartfiles -nostdlib -O3 -DNDEBUG -D_DLL -D_MT -Xclang --dependent-lib=msvcrt - Xlinker /subsystem:console CMakeFiles/text.dir/src/main.cpp.obj -o D:\git\cpp\opengl\drawtext\bin\text.exe -Xlinker /MANIFEST:EMBED -Xlinker /implib:D:\git\cpp\opengl\drawtext\bin\text.lib -Xlinker /pdb:D:\git\cpp\opengl\drawtext\bin\text.pdb -Xlinker /version:0.0 D:/source/freetype- 2.12.1/build/x86_64/Release/lib/freetype.lib -lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lwinspool - lshell32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -luuid -lcomdlg32 -ladvapi32 -loldnames && cd ."
