CMake FindPackage error on Ubuntu 18.04.1 x64

[HuguesDelorme]

When running "cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release" it systematically halts with this error : CMake Error at generator/CMakeLists.txt:7 (Find_Package): Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Clang" with any of the following names:

ClangConfig.cmake
clang-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "Clang" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "Clang_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "Clang" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

I have packages clang + libllvm-6.0 + llvm-6.0 + llvm-6.0-runtime + libclang-6.0-dev + libclang1 + libclang-common-6.0-dev installed

Does the libclang-6.0-dev package not come with a ClangConfig.cmake file? Maybe there is a clang-dev package?

You can try to do

find /usr/ -name ClangConfig.cmake

To find if you have the file.

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=ClangConfig.cmake&mode=exactfilename&suite=cosmic&arch=any
says the package would be clang-6.0

I suppose you would also need to do -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/lib/llvm-6.0/lib/cmake/clang or someting like that

Hello Olivier, From what you advised I tried this: find /usr/ -name ClangConfig.cmake --> /usr/share/llvm-6.0/cmake/ClangConfig.cmake

cmake . -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/share/llvm-6.0/cmake --> -- Found LLVM 6.0.0 in /usr/lib/llvm-6.0 -- Using LLVMConfig.cmake in: /usr/lib/llvm-6.0/cmake CMake Error at /usr/share/llvm-6.0/cmake/ClangConfig.cmake:18 (include): include could not find load file: /usr/lib/cmake/clang/ClangTargets.cmake Call Stack (most recent call first): generator/CMakeLists.txt:7 (Find_Package)

For info: find /usr/ -name ClangTargets.cmake --> /usr/share/llvm-6.0/cmake/ClangTargets.cmake

What could I try to fix this issue?

Hello, I am also hitting this issue with no solution. Required files are present on my system but not found. Also using clang 6 on mint, with llvm 3.8

  FOUND.  Reason given by package:

  The following imported targets are referenced, but are missing: LLVM

See also "/home/slo/code/woboq_codebrowser/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

Now LLVM is declared missing... but it was previously found ?????

This is a debian packaging bug and was fixed in llvm-7.

Please just remove the default llvm-6.0/clang-6.0 packages and install the version 7. sudo apt install llvm-7 clang-7 libclang-7-dev

Hi @Durvi98 It doesn't look like you are commenting on the right github repository.

On Fedora, the missing packages are installed with "sudo dnf install llvm-devel".

I was able to build using the following (from the build directory), as of 2024.

• sudo apt install llvm-15-dev clang-15 libclang-15-dev
• cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
• make
