I have already download https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp, and built it with clion, so i got "libyaml-cpp.a" in my workpath "D:\github\yaml-cpp\cmake-build-debug".
Then I created new project(C++ Executable) , and modifed CMakeLists.text like this below:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(testyaml)
link_directories(D:/github/yaml-cpp/cmake-build-debug)

include_directories(D:/github/yaml-cpp/include/yaml-cpp)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)

add_executable(testyaml main.cpp)

#find_package (libyaml-cpp)

target_link_libraries(testyaml libyaml-cpp)

In my main.cpp, code like this:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include "yaml.h"

int main() {
    std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

But when I build my project , Clion can't find yaml-cpp/parser.h. Is there something wrong with my CMakeList.txt?

"D:\Program Files\JetBrains\apps\CLion\ch-0\181.4668.70\bin\cmake\bin\cmake.exe" --build D:\github\testyaml\cmake-build-debug --target testyaml -- -j 2

Hello!

Please change the line with include_directories in the following way:

include_directories(D:/github/yaml-cpp/include)

In your main.cpp do

#include "yaml-cpp/yaml.h"

Please edit the line with target_link_libraries in the following way:

target_link_libraries(testyaml "D:/github/yaml-cpp/cmake-build-debug/libyaml-cpp.a")
