I'm trying to build libpng with CMAKE, but it requires zlib, so I'm trying to build them both but not having any luck. I like FetchContent so I can specify a GIT_TAG and easily update that in the future if needed. For now I have just a blank test.c file to illustrate the problem.
I get these link errors:
LNK1120 1 unresolved externals
MinimalApp\out\build\x64-Debug\_deps\libpng-build\png-fix-itxt.exe
LNK2019 unresolved external symbol crc32 referenced in function main
When I build with this CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.14)
include(FetchContent)
project(MinimalApp)
FetchContent_Declare(
zlib
GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/madler/zlib.git
GIT_TAG v1.2.11
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(zlib)
set(ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR ${zlib_SOURCE_DIR} ${zlib_BINARY_DIR})
set(PNG_BUILD_ZLIB ON CACHE BOOL "Custom zlib Location, else find_package is used")
FetchContent_Declare(

GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/glennrp/libpng.git

include_directories(

LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/../bin/${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}/x64
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/../bin/${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}/x64
)
My test.c file is blank.
