Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Glog" with any of the following names:

[850977164]

I made this reference in the cmakelistes

But an error occurred in CMAKE as shown below

-- Boost version: 1.58.0
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:26 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindGlog.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Glog", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Glog" with any of
  the following names:

    GlogConfig.cmake
    glog-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Glog" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "Glog_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "Glog"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.

But I'm sure glog has installed
My English is not very good, but I really need your help

You need to set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to glog installation directory as mentioned in your error message.

Sorry about replying to this closed issue.

I also encounter the same problem. I installed glog by apt, and expect glogConfig.cmake is also installed in the system. However, it is not. Therefore, find_package(glog REQUIRED) failed.

OS: ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Command: sudo apt install libgoogle-glog-dev
Glog installed path by apt: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
The corresponding glogConfig.cmake: Not found. Search by sudo find / -name "*cmake*".

I was wondering if it is an expected behaviour?

[sergiud]

I don't know. We do not maintain Ubuntu packages.

As of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, the installed glog version (0.4.0) comes with libglog.pc (installed under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/libglog.pc) but not Findglog.cmake / glogConfig.cmake / glog-config.cmake

Hence, to use it with CMake, one must follow the FindPkgConfig workflow

In a nutshell, add the following to the CmakeLists.txt

find_package(PkgConfig REQUIRED)
pkg_check_modules(glog REQUIRED libglog)

...

target_include_directories(...
  ${glog_INCLUDE_DIRS}
  ...
)

target_link_libraries(...
  ${glog_LIBRARIES}
  ...
)

[kfertakis]

Just to add on the above, in order for it to work on a mac, you might need to ${glog_LDFLAGS} in target_link_libraries if the linker complains.

Hello,
I am facing the same error
Cloned it from https://github.com/google/glog

CMake Error at handeye_calib_marker/CMakeLists.txt:30 (find_package):

  "Glog_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "Glog"

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I tried

cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.16)
project (myproj VERSION 1.0)

find_package (glog 0.6.0 REQUIRED)

add_executable (myapp main.cpp)
target_link_libraries (myapp glog::glog)

Also tried "cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=..."

Not fixed..please provide some solution

[sergiud]

Cloning glog is insufficient. You also need to compile it and possibly install the project. I also recommend taking a look at the CMake documentation for find_package.
