capstone library not found about syscall_intercept HOT 6 CLOSED

Where do you have capstone.pc installed?

from syscall_intercept.

I compiled and make install'd libcapstone from git, then did an apt-get install libcapstone-dev:

$ sudo apt list --installed | grep capstone
libcapstone-dev/xenial,now 3.0.4-0.2 amd64 [installed]
libcapstone3/xenial,now 3.0.4-0.2 amd64 [installed,automatic]

and i'm still getting

CMake Error at cmake/find_capstone.cmake:42 (message):
capstone library not found

capstone.pc is inside of my compiled capstone directory:

$ pwd
/home/maceip/capstone
$ cat capstone.pc
Name: capstone
Description: Capstone disassembly engine
Version: 3.0.5
libdir=/usr/lib
includedir=/usr/include/capstone
archive=${libdir}/libcapstone.a
Libs: -L${libdir} -lcapstone
Cflags: -I${includedir}

Ubuntu, like any modern distro, can "have" pkg-config. You just need to install it.
apt-get install pkg-config

from syscall_intercept.

I updated my comment. I installed pkg-config but i'm still not sure how to get CMAKE to understand where the lib is

from syscall_intercept.

Put capstone.pc in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ and cmake will find it. Or you can set PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to /home/maceip/capstone.

thanks for your help here, now cmake succeeds.
