cmake: Undefined reference to glx functions when build with non-standard prefix path

[ericshenggle]

OS: Ubuntu 22.04 Since I have built the project in a Cluster, I have no root privilege. Then it is need to specific relevant library path. I use CMake to build the glew: cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/usr/local/ -DOPENGL_opengl_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libOpenGL.so.0 -DOPENGL_glx_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLX_mesa.so.0 -DOPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/ -DX11_LIBRARIES=/home/c/chenggan/usr/local/lib/libX11.so -DX11_INCLUDE_DIR=/home/c/chenggan/usr/local/include/ ./cmake

Then make: I got:

(base) chenggan@xlogin2:~/lib/glew-2.2.0/build$ make [ 12%] Building C object CMakeFiles/glew.dir/home/c/chenggan/lib/glew-2.2.0/src/glew.c.o [ 25%] Linking C shared library lib/libGLEW.so [ 25%] Built target glew [ 37%] Building C object CMakeFiles/glew_s.dir/home/c/chenggan/lib/glew-2.2.0/src/glew.c.o [ 50%] Linking C static library lib/libGLEW.a [ 50%] Built target glew_s [ 62%] Building C object CMakeFiles/glewinfo.dir/home/c/chenggan/lib/glew-2.2.0/src/glewinfo.c.o [ 75%] Linking C executable bin/glewinfo /usr/bin/ld: CMakeFiles/glewinfo.dir/home/c/chenggan/lib/glew-2.2.0/src/glewinfo.c.o: in function glewCreateContext': glewinfo.c:(.text+0x21c87): undefined reference toglXQueryExtension' /usr/bin/ld: glewinfo.c:(.text+0x21d2a): undefined reference to glXCreateContext' /usr/bin/ld: glewinfo.c:(.text+0x21de6): undefined reference toglXMakeCurrent' /usr/bin/ld: glewinfo.c:(.text+0x21f9b): undefined reference to glXMakeCurrent' /usr/bin/ld: glewinfo.c:(.text+0x21fb2): undefined reference toglXDestroyContext' /usr/bin/ld: glewinfo.c:(.text+0x21fd7): undefined reference to glXChooseVisual' /usr/bin/ld: CMakeFiles/glewinfo.dir/home/c/chenggan/lib/glew-2.2.0/src/glewinfo.c.o: in functionglewDestroyContext': glewinfo.c:(.text+0x22041): undefined reference to glXDestroyContext' /usr/bin/ld: lib/libGLEW.so.2.2.0: undefined reference toglXGetProcAddressARB' /usr/bin/ld: lib/libGLEW.so.2.2.0: undefined reference to glXQueryVersion' /usr/bin/ld: lib/libGLEW.so.2.2.0: undefined reference toglXGetClientString' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: [CMakeFiles/glewinfo.dir/build.make:102: bin/glewinfo] Error 1 make[1]: [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:142: CMakeFiles/glewinfo.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:136: all] Error 2

I should have run make extension to have glxew.h in the include/GL folder.
