CMake build doesn't install embedded 3rd-party libs.

[xkszltl]

What version of shadowsocks-libev are you using?

master

What operating system are you using?

CentOS 7 (this is really not distro related).

What did you do?

Build with cmake+ninja+gcc, and -DWITH_STATIC=OFF because CentOS 7 doesn't ship static version of libev, and then install.

What did you see instead?

Embedded 3rd-party libs are correctly built as build/lib/libipset.so, but they're not installed. Calling things like /usr/local/bin/ss-xxxxx won't work due to missing libs.

A few lines like install(TARGETS ipset-shared LIBRARY DESTINATION lib) in CMakeLists.txt should help.

Why do you find the README wanting? You can just follow the steps provided by the author and build shadowsocks-libev from source.

[xkszltl]

@GinXian This is not about building from source, but installation after build. The README instruction is about makefile, not cmake we used here.

[GinXian]

@xkszltl The 3rd party libs are installed as intended but the ELF cannot probe it. That may be because ldconfig is absent when the libs are built and installed.

[xkszltl]

What do you mean by installed as intended? The embedded libipset isn't installed unless I manually copy it.

As you can see from below, there's simply no install() for libipset target.

• Code creating dynamic lib of libipset: https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-libev/blob/89b5f987d6a5329de9713704615581d363f0cfed/CMakeLists.txt#L140-L141

[xkszltl]

Regarding ldconfig, we actually run that intentionally after installation so that's not the issue.

bash ./shadowsocks-libev/rpm/genrpm.sh before ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make It is what I figure out and it's work great .

[xkszltl]

That's the makefile code path, no cmake.
