Use CMake To Import Shared Library Or Static Library

We need to configure project in the project file CMakeLists.txt to support to use shared library or static library.
Here is an example to build a project based on the library uchardet.

Use shared library

set(uchardet_DIR "/root/uchardet-0.0.7")


link_directories( ${uchardet_DIR}/build/src ) #add library path
target_link_libraries( ${PROJECT_NAME} uchardet ) #import libuchardet.so

Use static library

add_library(uchardet STATIC IMPORTED)
set_property(TARGET uchardet PROPERTY IMPORTED_LOCATION <path-to-libuchardet.a>)  #eg. ${uchardet_DIR}/build/src/libuchardet.a
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} uchardet ) #import libuchardet.a
