How to specify libmpdclient location? about ympd

[hamishcunningham]

Or, thinking about it, what I actually needed to do was install libmpdclient-dev as well as the library itself... It would be good to add this in the dependencies list.

Thanks rafi; I hadn't installed the libmpdclient source; having done this and added these it worked:

set(LIBMPDCLIENT_LIBRARY /usr/lib/libmpdclient.so.2)
include_directories(/home/hamish/libmpdclient-2.9/include)

Best,
H

I seem to have a similar problem at the cmake stage (building on Ubuntu 14.10). It complains libmpdclient isn't present; I duly installed it, but cmake still fails to find it. I tried deleting the cmake cache and so on, but no luck :-(

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr

The libmpdclient package is now called libmpdclient2, but it installs as:

ls -lh /usr/lib/libmpdclient*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  21 Dec 30  2013 /usr/lib/libmpdclient.so.2 -> libmpdclient.so.2.0.9
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 92K Dec 30  2013 /usr/lib/libmpdclient.so.2.0.9

Any ideas?
Tnx,
Hamish

I solved this by adding INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(/opt/local/include) in CMakeLists.txt.
