How to link google protobuf libraries via cmake on linux?

Question

I\'m trying to make it same way I made it for boost :

find_package(Boost COMPONENTS system filesystem REQUIRED)                                                       


        

Answer 1

You could try CMake's FindProtobuf module:

include(FindProtobuf)
find_package(Protobuf REQUIRED)
include_directories(${PROTOBUF_INCLUDE_DIR})
...
target_link_libraries(complex
    ${Boost_FILESYSTEM_LIBRARY}
    ${Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY}
    ${PROTOBUF_LIBRARY}
)

For further info, run

cmake --help-module FindProtobuf
