they're all newest version.

the CMakeLists.txt are:

Error

the message shows:

SPDLOG_INCLUDE_DIRS:

header file <spdlog/spdlog.h> not found. Obviously the spdlog header directory is not include in cmake.

Question

Why pkg_search_module works for icu4c, bug not for spdlog ? And not for pthread ?

  • spdlog links successfully via `find_package(spdlog REQUIRED)` and `target_link_libraries(xeditd spdlog::spdlog)`. But I don't know why it works, and is there a way to use `find_package` for `icu4c` on macos ? – linrongbin Jun 12 '19 at 05:47
  • "Why pkg_search_module works for icu4c, but not for spdlog?" - Probably, because there is no `spdlog.pc` file, which is needed for `pkg-config` to find `spdlog` package. Most likely, `pkg_search_module(SPDLOG spdlog)` is simply failed. You haven't detect this, because neither use *REQUIRED* keyword nor check `SPDLOG_FOUND` variable. – Tsyvarev Jun 12 '19 at 08:07
  • Commands `find_package` and `pkg_search_module` are **different** ways for locate the package. And these commands use **different** tools for their purpose. `pkg_search_module` is a wrapper around `pkg-config` utility, which need `XXX.pc` for locate the package. `find_package` is a pure CMake thing. It either uses `FindXXX.cmake` module, either [shipped with CMake](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.9/manual/cmake-modules.7.html) itself or provided by **your project**, or uses `XXXConfig.cmake` or `xxx-config.cmake` scripts, provided by the searched package. – Tsyvarev Jun 12 '19 at 08:13
