Include OpenSSL in a CMakeList.txt file

问题

I have a question for people who work with CMakeList.txt in C++. I want to use Podofo project (a project to parse & create pdf).

So my main function is simple as:

#include <iostream>
#include <podofo/podofo.h>

int main() {
  PoDoFo::PdfMemDocument pdf;
  pdf.Load("/Users/user/path/to.pdf");

  int nbOfPage = pdf.GetPageCount();

  std::cout << "Our pdf have " << nbOfPage << " pages." << std::endl;
  return 0;
}

My CMakeList.txt is:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.7)
project(untitled)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)

set(SOURCE_FILES main.cpp)

add_executable(untitled ${SOURCE_FILES})

But I am stuck with this error:

/usr/local/include/podofo/base/PdfEncrypt.h:44:10: fatal error: 'openssl/opensslconf.h' file not found
#include <openssl/opensslconf.h

I tried to include with find_package, find_library .. setting some variables but I do not find the way.

My env is:

• macOS
• Clion
• Podofo installed via home-brew in /usr/local/podofo
• OpenSSL installed via home-brew in /usr/local/opt/openssl

Thanks by advance community !!

回答1:

find_package is the correct approach; you find details about it here.

In your case, you should add these lines:

find_package(OpenSSL REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(untitled OpenSSL::SSL)

If CMake doesn't find OpenSSL directly, you should set the CMake variable OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR.
