Cannot Use cpp_redis with CMake and VCPKG about cpp_redis HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @ahmedyarub, have you tried using

find_library(CPPREDIS_LIB cpp_redis)
find_library(TACOPIE_LIB tacopie)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} ${CPPREDIS_LIB} ${TACOPIE_LIB})

?

This is the recommended way to find libraries in CMake[1] that don't provide find_package() support.

Note that vcpkg doesn't automatically add -L ${_VCPKG_INSTALLED_DIR}/${VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET}/lib to your link line, which is why just adding cpp_redis to your link libraries will not work. Using the above find_library() call is the best way to handle this situation without requiring you to hardcode any paths.

well that was it! thanks a lot!
I'm just curious: why the other packages like fmt don't require passing variables?
