Issue

I have cross-compiled the paho.mqtt.c to the so file and copy them to my lib directory in the workspace. I use the nm and readelf to check it, nothing goes wrong. But I can't use make to compile the sample client.c

$ readelf -h libpaho-mqtt3c.so

here's my CMakeLists

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16)

project(CPE LANGUAGES C)

set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Linux)

set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/toolchain/bin/arm-openwrt-linux-uclibcgnueabi-gcc)

set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/toolchain/bin/arm-openwrt-linux-uclibcgnueabi-g++)

set(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/bin)

include_directories(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/include)

# aux_source_directory(./src SRC_LIST)
set(SRC_LIST ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/pub.c)

find_library(LIB ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/lib)

add_executable(pub ${SRC_LIST})

target_link_libraries(pub ${LIB})

Solution

- find_library(LIB ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/lib)
+ find_library(LIB paho-mqtt3c ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/lib)
