Linking GLEW with CMake

Question

How can you link GLEW to a project with CMake?

We\'ve been trying to link GLEW to our project using CMake for at least 3 hours without any success so any help is acc

Answer 1

Other answers do obviously work, but the target based style of cmake makes it even easier since the GLEW find module defines the imported target GLEW::GLEW. All you need is:

find_package(GLEW REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(YourTarget GLEW::GLEW)

YourTarget is the target that you created with add_executable or add_library. No need to explicitly add include directories, they are added automatically by linking the targets.
