EDIT ===================
The apr-1 is the apache portable runtime, which I downloaded and compiled myself to create the shared library (so its not made by cmake). I need to link against this library after I run CPack on the target system.
My development project directory:
read_config/bin
/libs
/include
/src
/build
For my CMakeLists.txt, everything installs ok, but now I have a linking problem, as it cannot find the new location of the library.
I have removed the LINK_DIRECTORIES(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/libs) as I don't need this now, as I am using the FIND_LIBRARY.
And added the following:
# Find the library in the libs folder
FIND_LIBRARY(APR_LIBS NAMES "apr-1" PATHS ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/libs)
# Print out the path to see if its correct
MESSAGE(${APR_LIBS})
# Link the library with the executable
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(cfg ${APR_LIBS})
# Install the libs folder
INSTALL(DIRECTORY ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/libs/
DESTINATION libs)
# Install the executable in the bin folder
INSTALL(TARGETS cfg
RUNTIME DESTINATION bin)
Everything installs ok, but when I check the executable to see what libraries it links against it cannot find the apr-1 as it looks in the wrong place.
libapr-1.so.0 => not found
This is because I have extracted the installation package to a new location which is different to where it was compiled from. From the compiled directory I get this, which runs ok:
libapr-1.so.0 => /home/devel/projects/read_config/libs/libapr-1.so.0 (0xf7746000)
I after I install I have this directory structure on the target installation machine, so the executable will link with the new libs/apr-1 library:
target directory/
/bin
/libs/apr-1
