How to build a project using Crypto++ library in k

Question

I wrote a small program that uses the crypto++library using kdevelop in Ubuntu. I get the output correctly when I compile it from the terminal using -lcryptopp. I would like to build and execute the program using the cmake from kdevelop itself. How can I include the CRYPTOPP_DIR in the cmake configuration for doing this.

Any help will be appreciated. Thankyou.

Answer 1

Adding the following piece of code to cmake file helped me:

FIND_LIBRARY(CRYPTOPP crypto++ /usr/lib) ## location of libcryptopp.so or libcryptopp.a
IF ( CRYPTOPP )
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(${PROGRAM_NAME} cryptopp ) ## Specifying cryptopp in uppercase gave me link error.
ENDIF( CRYPTOPP )

If pthread library is needed, also add it in the cmake file. This worked for me. Got the solution from https://forum.anope.org
