Target "OSM_A_star_search" links to target "Cairo::Cairo" but the target was not found.

[mFontoura]

In Windows I tried to start the first project today but I'm still stuck on the setup of "Building and Running". I want to use a local environment so I'm not using the VM. I think I have installed all the dependencies correctly but I still have errors when trying to "cmake" this repo. I get an error on the line:
add_executable(OSM_A_star_search src/main.cpp src/model.cpp src/render.cpp src/route_model.cpp src/route_planner.cpp)
on the command line i get:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:28 (add_executable):
  Target "OSM_A_star_search" links to target "Cairo::Cairo" but the target
  was not found.  Perhaps a find_package() call is missing for an IMPORTED
  target, or an ALIAS target is missing?

Any ideas?

I've encountered the same problem and what helped was to add vckpg\installed\x64-windows\bin and add vckpg\installed\x64-windows\include to PATH. (probably just one of them would be enough I need to check which one).

Also I guess modyfing CMakeLists.txt to include paths above would do the trick

@mFontoura and @j-jakubowski I'm having the same problem, how did you fix it please? I tried to add the directories you mentioned to PATH but I still get this error message. I would really appreciate your help since I've been stuck with the problem for a week now.

To be honest after solving this problem I encountered some more difficulties and decided it's not worth wasting time on setting up this one-time project on windows.

I'd recommend using udacity workspace or setting up everything on regular VM or on Ubuntu for Windows (the latter being my weapon of choice - linux environment with IDE on windows, brilliant!)

Hey Your binary should be named 'OSM_A_Star_search' and it should be located in build folder. Run it with argument -f path_to_osm_file and it should run. śr., 10 cze 2020 o 22:59 Walid Chekkouri <[email protected]> napisał(a):

@j-jakubowski <https://github.com/j-jakubowski> I have taken your advice, howerver how can I run the map.osm file, because when I build it, I don't get a bin folder in the root repo, the only bin folder I have is in the build folder & it doesn't contain the files necessary to build!

On windows, I met the same issue.

On windows, I met the same issue.

I simply used their own Udacity Workspace instead.

Hi @mFontoura and other participants,
If setting up the environment takes you too long (and troublesome), consider creating a containerized environment, as suggested in this #25
Otherwise, Udacity workspace is a ready-to-work solution for you.
Thanks
