[SOLVED] vcpkg raylib on MacOS - failed linking - undefined symbols

Issue

I've installed vcpkg and followed the install steps, the bootstrap and the integrate commands.

But I can't figure out why my C project wont link with raylib. I feel like I've followed all the steps and the project wont link, can anyone suggest a solution?

output from vcpkg list:

My cmake project with the toolchain set and linking to the MacOS deps as per instructions:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.24)
set(CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE "/Users/dev/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake")
project(base VERSION 0.1.0 LANGUAGES C)

set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD 11)
message("[TOOLCHAIN] "  ${CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE})

find_package(raylib CONFIG REQUIRED)

add_executable(base main.c)

if (APPLE)
    target_link_libraries(base PRIVATE raylib "-framework IOKit" "-framework Cocoa" "-framework OpenGL")
else()
    target_link_libraries(base PRIVATE raylib)
endif()

Example from raylib - basic window:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include "raylib.h"

int main(void)
{
  ///omitted.
}

Linker Error:

Omitted some of the output as it's too long:

Solution

It looks like your library was compiled with the address sanitizer, so your application needs to be as well. You can add -fsanitize=address to the options.

I wonder though if you really wanted to compile the library that way. Unless you are a developer of that library, you're probably not interested in looking for bugs in it. Compiling with the sanitizer will significantly slow down the library. You may want to figure out how it was compiled with the sanitizer, and build it again without.
