Including glib.h in a CMake project

Question

Trying to compile a library in Ubuntu with CMake and one of the file includes glib.h. The package is installed and glib.h is in /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib

Answer 1

I suggest you go through the link: How package finding works.

As a reference, you can have a look at this CMake Module for finding glib2.

The line of your interest here is:

find_path(GLIB_INCLUDE_DIR NAMES glib.h PATH_SUFFIXES glib-2.0)

I suggest you copy this module in your <project root>/cmake/ directory. And, then use a find_package in your root CMakeLists.txt file.
