I have a Cmake project on arch linux and I need to use Imlib2. However, the cmake cannot find the package (see attached screenshot). Usually, this is resolved by installing the dev version of the library, but I cannot seem to find one on arch linux.

Sorry if this is stupid, but I am new to linux dev. I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction!

  • Sorry, I didn't know this was a rule. This was in a virtual machine and the machine does not have internet connectivity yet, and vmtools is malfunctioning, so the screenshot was the faster method for me. I will keep this in mind from now on, though! Commented Nov 11, 2022 at 2:57

Imlib2 does not have a .a file for static linking. Thus, the project must use shared linking.

add to CMakeLists.txt

option(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS ON)
