I am a beginner to CMAKE Below is a simple cmake file which works well in mingw environment windows The problem is clearly with target link libraries function of CMAKE where I am linking libwsock32 a In windows this works and I get the results However as expected in Linux the usr bin ld will look for -lwsock32 which is NOT there on the Linux OS My Problem is How do I instruct CMAKE to avoid linking wsock32 library in Linux OS Any help will be greatly appreciated My Simple CMake file PROJECT biourl set PROJECT NAME headers BioSocketAddress h BioSocketBase h BioSocketBuffer h BioSocketCommon h BioSocketListener h BioSocketPrivate h BioSocketStream h BioUrl h BioDatabase h set PROJECT NAME sources BioSocketAddress C BioSocketBase C BioSocketCommon C BioSocketStream C BioUrl C BioDatabase C add library PROJECT NAME STATIC PROJECT NAME headers PROJECT NAME sources linkers find library ws NAMES wsock32 PATHS PROJECT SOURCE DIR NO SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT PATH NO DEFAULT PATH target link libraries PROJECT NAME bioutils wsock32 install TARGETS PROJECT NAME RUNTIME DESTINATION bin LIBRARY DESTINATION lib ARCHIVE DESTINATION lib archive
