I'm a bit stuck with an issue trying to build a simple test program using SFML and SFGUI. This is on Windows, and I've used cmake to generate Visual Studio 2017 projects.

First I cloned SFML and SFGUI from github and generated the solution files. I ran Visual Studio in administrator mode and build the INSTALL project with both release and debug targets so that they would all be built and dropped in C:Program Files (x86)SFML and C:Program Files (x86)SFGUI respectively. Everything built and installed fine right out of the box. I also added those two directories to my PATH environment variable. I can build and run the sample projects that come with SFGUI that show up in the solution file.

So now I go and create my own project, and things start to fall apart. Importing SFML itself works fine. I have a simple program that pops open a window and it works fine. When I add in find_package(SFGUI REQUIRED) CMake fails when the project tries to update. I get the following error:

2>CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/SFGUI/cmake/SFGUITargets.cmake:78 (message):

2>  The imported target "SFGUI::SFGUI" references the file

2>

2>     "C:/Program Files (x86)/lib/SFGUI-d.lib"

2>

2>  but this file does not exist.  Possible reasons include:

2>

2>  * The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

2>

2>  * An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.

2>

2>  * The installation package was faulty and contained

2>

2>     "C:/Program Files (x86)/SFGUI/cmake/SFGUITargets.cmake"

2>

2>  but not all the files it references.

Notice in the error, the file is "C:/Program Files (x86)/lib/SFGUI-d.lib" and not "C:/Program Files (x86)/SFGUI/lib/SFGUI-d.lib". The former is an invalid directory, the latter actually exists.

Looking at the SFGUI cmake files, it looks like the variable _IMPORT_PREFIX is being set to C:/Program Files (x86)/, when I think it should be setting set to C:/Program Files (x86)/SFGUI. I think that variable is getting set by the call to set_target_properties in SFGUITargets[-debug].cmake. I'm not sure if this is the core issue, or if it is, why it's getting set wrong. Any ideas what I did wrong?

Here is the entirety of my CMakeLists.txt in case it helps:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.1)



set(PROJECT_NAME TestProj)



project(${PROJECT_NAME})



set(SOURCES src/main.cpp)



find_package(OpenGL REQUIRED)

find_package(SFML 2.5 REQUIRED COMPONENTS graphics window audio network system)

find_package(SFGUI REQUIRED) # Errors here. Without this line it's fine.



add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} ${SOURCES})

target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} sfml-graphics sfml-window sfml-audio sfml-network sfml-system)
