Using libs from vscpkg in CLion.
Answered
I try to use external modules from vscpkg for my C project and all seems so unintuitive I dont know how to do it.
I have tried also add_libraries() and it cant find it too.
cmakelists.txt :
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)
project(SSHwinx32 C)
set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD 11)
find_package(libssh CONFIG REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE ${libssh.h)
target_include_directories(main PRIVATE ${C/Users/ansga/vcpkg/installed/x86-windows/include/libssh})
add_executable(SSHwinx32 main.c)
output:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:6 (find_package):
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "libssh" with any
of the following names:
libsshConfig.cmake
libssh-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "libssh" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"libssh_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "libssh"
provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
installed.

Hello!
1. As far as I know, VCPKG provides a .cmake file to be used during configuration process, so that CMake can correctly recognize the needed libraries' paths. So you need to add -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<path_to_vcpkg>/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake to the CMake profile (File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> CMake).
2. You need first create a target and then link libraries to the target. It should look similar to the following:
Very helpful. Thank you.
