I have googled around and can not figure this out. I am trying to learn c++. But my project requires libcurl to work.
Now I have not been able after hours of googling for this issue to figure out how I can statically link the libcurl library with my project using cmake. I am developing on Windows 10 64 bit.
I believe I am missing quite a few ideas of how exactly everything works with libraries in c++. I could find a few answers partially answering my question but nothing that I could piece together. If there are a few answers that can answer my question I would be more than happy to get those provided to me.
Down below is my code, cmakelists & the error that I am currently having.
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <curl.h>
int main() {
std::string username;
std::string password;
std::cout << "Please enter the username of the account you want to use to snipe" << std::endl;
std::cin >> username;
std::cout << "Please enter the password of the account you want to use to snipe" << std::endl;
std::cin >> password;
curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_ALL);
}
CMakeLists:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.3)
project(Learning)
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11")
include_directories(curl/include/curl)
link_directories(curl/bin)
set(SOURCE_FILES main.cpp)
add_executable(Learning ${SOURCE_FILES})
target_link_libraries(Learning curl)
The error:
