'cinder/cairo/Cairo.h' not found when building via cmake on macOS

[vvzen]

Hi everyone!

A bit of a cmake noob here - so please forgive me if I am missed anything obvious.

I'm trying to compile the CairoBasic sample on macOS (10.14.6) using cmake (3.22.1). The build goes fine from the XCode project, but I can't manage to get it working via cmake - and I want to understand a bit more of how cmake works so that I can reuse the same knowledge when working under linux.

I'm currently following the guide here: https://libcinder.org/docs/guides/cmake/cmake.html#building-your-application-with-cmake

This is what I get after I try to make :

/path/to/cinder_0.9.2_mac/samples/CairoBasic/src/CairoBasicApp.cpp:6:10: fatal error: 'cinder/cairo/Cairo.h' file not found
#include "cinder/cairo/Cairo.h

If i search around ($ find ../../../ -name "Cairo.h") for that header file it appears to be in ../../../blocks/Cairo/include/cinder/cairo/Cairo.h. So I thought of adding blocks/Cairo/include to the ci_make_app call, like this:

ci_make_app(
    CINDER_PATH ${CINDER_PATH}
    INCLUDES    ${CINDER_PATH}/blocks/Cairo/include
    SOURCES     ${APP_PATH}/src/CairoBasicApp.cpp
)

If I do that, I get a linker error (after running cmake ../proj/cmake and make again from my build dir) :

Could anyone point me to some docs or could shed a light on what I'm doing wrong? I have a feeling that it's not actually pick up the correct Cairo.h, but I'm not sure how to go on about fixing it.
Thanks!

I am having the same issue on Arch Linux.

Yep, experiencing the same issue on Ubuntu. The issue is being caused because the function createWindowSurface() is defined only for OSX and Windows, and not Linux. Looking into the Cairo.h file, I could see that:

#if defined( CINDER_COCOA )
SurfaceQuartz	createWindowSurface();
#elif defined( CINDER_MSW )
SurfaceGdi		createWindowSurface();
#endif
