DLib is manually installed to /usr/local/lib ... about badslam HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi, does /usr/local/include/DLib/ contain a file DLibConfig.cmake? If yes, you could set DLib_DIR to this directory. Otherwise, it would be a possibility to write a custom DLibConfig.cmake that points to your installation directories. As an example, here is the content of /usr/local/include/DLib/DLibConfig.cmake on my system:

FIND_LIBRARY(DLib_LIBRARY DLib
    PATHS "/usr/local/lib"
)
FIND_PATH(DLib_INCLUDE_DIR DLibConfig.cmake
    PATHS "/usr/local/include/DLib" 
)
LIST(APPEND DLib_INCLUDE_DIR
  ${DLib_INCLUDE_DIR}/../ ${DLib_INCLUDE_DIR}/../DUtils
  ${DLib_INCLUDE_DIR}/../DUtilsCV ${DLib_INCLUDE_DIR}/../DVision)
SET(DLib_LIBRARIES ${DLib_LIBRARY})
SET(DLib_LIBS ${DLib_LIBRARY})
SET(DLib_INCLUDE_DIRS ${DLib_INCLUDE_DIR})

@jiapei100 You have probably installed the wrong library. There are two unrelated libraries which have the same name (but different capitalization in the name):

• dlib.net (the wrong one)
• DLib (the right one)

I made the same mistake and lost a few hours because of it. ^^'

Indeed, the .pc file referenced above contains Description: Numerical and networking C++ library, which I overlooked when I first replied. I just added a warning about this to the Readme to hopefully prevent this from happening to more people.
