Thread: Cannot generate cmake for pcre in c

Greetings to all.

First of all, in my ubuntu 18.04 system I installed libpcre3 and libpcre3-dev in order to obtain the non-standard C pcre library, however. After generating a Cmake file "source code is proven to work and is only one residing on the src folder on my project" I get the following error after executing my generated makefile.

Code:

[ 50%] Building C object CMakeFiles/main.dir/src/main.c.o
[100%] Linking C executable main
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lregexlist
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lregexlist.c
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
CMakeFiles/main.dir/build.make:94: recipe for target 'main' failed

Makefile:83: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

The Cmake in question is the following

Code:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.9)
project(directory_test)

# Incluye los encabezados .h
#include_directories(include)

# Agrega fuentes
file(GLOB SOURCES "src/*.c")

# Crea el ejecutable
add_executable(main ${SOURCES})

# Agrega librería externa
target_link_libraries(main regexlist regexlist.c -lpcre)

# Agrega flags de compilación
target_compile_options(main PUBLIC -Wall)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You appear to believe that there is a library called "regexlist". Is there a reason for that belief?
