/usr/bin/ld : cannot found -lSDL2_mixer_ext_Static : File not found.

Yeah sorry for making an other issues but i'm pretty sure there's an easy way to fix but i have no idea on how to do that.

SO: I've installed the SDL-Mixer-X library just for compiling a project that i am working on. Issue is that i'm getting this error.
/usr/bin/ld : ne peut pas trouver -lSDL2_mixer_ext_Static : Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type collect2: erreur: ld a retourné le statut de sortie 1 make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/kektech.dir/build.make:203: bin/kektech] Error 1 make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:275: CMakeFiles/kektech.dir/all] Error 2

Any ideas ? thanks.

The SDL2_mixer_ext_Static is not a name of library, it's a name of CMake symbol. If you write in your code something like target_link_libraries(xxxx PRIVATE -lSDL2_mixer_ext_Static), you better write something like target_link_libraries(xxxx PRIVATE SDL2_mixer_ext_Static) in your project. Or, better, make a kind of an interface library, and link to it, then link the interface to your target of your project.

Well it does seem its already written so i guess i'll remove it. If not i'll do more linking.
EDIT: No. I'm gonna try to see if i could link it to an library file.

I could share you one of my code fragments that I use to link MixerX builds at my projects.

Alright why not.

Hello!
Sorry for didn't responce for a long time!
Here is my big example how I link the MixerX and AudioCodecs at one of my projects: https://github.com/Wohlstand/TheXTech/blob/main/cmake/library_SDLMixerX.cmake

• I do have the fixed list of libraries to link, and I have some kind of a formula to properly make paths to each of these libraries.
• I assign these libraries as BUILD_BYPRODUCTS to ExternalProject thing.
• In some cases, I make a kind of the INTERFACE library (a virtual in-cmake "library" that allows to simplify linking the same stuff to multiple other targets without code duplication), and I link everything to it.
• Then, I link the INTERFACE library to the application of the project, and to other things when needed.
