handmade Makefile to Cmake with static library - cmake

Question

Here is a MakeFile for my project, since I'm using CLion for as my IDE, I need a Cmake configuration. I could not convert the following Makefile correctly.
all: VisualCryptography
VisualCryptography: VisualCryptographyGPU.o VisualCryptographyMC.o ExtVisualCryptographyCPU.o ExtVisualCryptographyGPU.o ExtVisualCryptographyMC.o VisualCryptographyCPUTest.o
g++ *.o -L/usr/local/cuda/lib64 -lcudart -lpthread ./lib/libVC.a -o VisualCryptography
rm -rf *.o
VisualCryptographyMC.o: ./source/VisualCryptographyMC.c
g++ -lpthread -c ./source/VisualCryptographyMC.c
VisualCryptographyCPUTest.o: ./source/VisualCryptographyCPUTest.c
g++ -lpthread -c ./source/VisualCryptographyCPUTest.c
VisualCryptographyGPU.o: ./source/VisualCryptographyGPU.cu
/usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc -c -arch=compute_20 -code=sm_20 -lm ./source/VisualCryptographyGPU.cu
ExtVisualCryptographyCPU.o: ./source/ExtVisualCryptographyCPU.c
g++ -c ./source/ExtVisualCryptographyCPU.c
ExtVisualCryptographyGPU.o: ./source/ExtVisualCryptographyGPU.cu
/usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc -c -arch=compute_20 -code=sm_20 -lm ./source/ExtVisualCryptographyGPU.cu
ExtVisualCryptographyMC.o: ./source/ExtVisualCryptographyMC.c
g++ -lpthread -c ./source/ExtVisualCryptographyMC.c
clean:
rm -rf *.o VisualCryptography
Here is my CMakeList.txt file:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.7)
project(VC)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
find_package (Threads)
find_package(CUDA REQUIRED)
link_directories(${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/lib)
set(SOURCE_FILES
source/common.h
source/ExtVisualCryptographyGPU.cu
source/ExtVisualCryptographyCPU.c
source/ExtVisualCryptographyMC.c
source/preprocess.h
source/VisualCryptographyCPUDefault.h
source/VisualCryptographyCPUTest.c
source/VisualCryptographyCPUTest.h
source/VisualCryptographyMC.c
source/VisualCryptographyGPU.cu
source/VisualCryptographyGPU.h
source/VisualCryptographyMC.h)
add_executable(VC ${SOURCE_FILES})
target_link_libraries(VC ${CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT} libVC.a)
Where am I doing wrong?
This is the error that I'm getting:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lVC
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
CMakeFiles/VC.dir/build.make:172: recipe for target 'VC' failed
make[3]: *** [VC] Error 1
CMakeFiles/Makefile2:67: recipe for target 'CMakeFiles/VC.dir/all' failed
make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/VC.dir/all] Error 2
CMakeFiles/Makefile2:79: recipe for target 'CMakeFiles/VC.dir/rule' failed
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/VC.dir/rule] Error 2
Makefile:118: recipe for target 'VC' failed
make: *** [VC] Error 2
I also should note that the libVC.a is in lib sub dir of my project, and all other source codes are in source sub dir. the main function is also in libVC.a, which is static.

Try changing the name as oLen suggested, this behavior is seen in some versions of Cmake. You can check another version if you insist on using the same name.
