<div>I think you're misunderstanding how to use cmake: when I said set a variable I meant a cmake variable and not a shell variable.</div><div><br></div><div>You set a cmake variable by adding a -DVARIABLE_NAME=VALUE to the command line.</div>
<div><br></div><div>To be more concrete, lets say you have your rabbitmq-c source tree in:</div><div>c:\dev\rabbitmq-c</div><div>And have built the project in-source using MSVC</div><div><br></div><div>You have boost v1.47.0 in, and its built with shared libraries</div>
<div>c:\dev\boost-1.47.0</div><div><br></div><div>The appropriate cmake command might look something like:</div><div>$ cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=c:\dev\boost-1.47.0 -DBoost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS="1.47.0" -DRabbitmqc_INCLUDE_DIR=c:\dev\rabbitmq-c\librabbitmq -DRabbitmqc_LIBRARY=c:\dev\rabbitmq-c\librabbitmq\Debug\rabbitmq.lib</div>
<div><br></div><div>You can also use the cmake-gui program to set these variables.</div><div><br></div><div>That said: the FindRabbitmq.cmake module does not expect to find the headers and the libraries in a source, or build tree. �It expects to find these in an 'install tree', which basically copies the correct files to a known location and structure: headers in ${PREFIX}/include libraries in ${PREFIX}/lib and executables in ${PREFIX}/bin. On linux/unix ${PREFIX} is usually /usr/local, on windows its in C:\Program Files\${ProjectName} - which I personally don't like.</div>
<div><br></div><div>My recommendation would be to run cmake-gui in your rabbitmq-c build and set the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to something like c:\dev\install, then build the 'INSTALL' project which will copy the appropriate files to an install tree in c:\dev\install</div>
<div><br></div><div>You can then either add c:\dev\install\include and c:\dev\install\lib paths to the INCLUDE and LIB environment variables or you can set the cmake variable Rabbitmqc_DIR to c:\dev\install when running cmake against SimpleAmqpClient, and save having to specify the Rabbitmqc_INCLUDE_DIR and Rabbitmqc_LIBRARY individually.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Note that since rabbitmq is built as a shared library (DLL on windows) by default, you'll need to have the rabbitmq.dll in a place that windows can find it (putting these in the same directory as the executable or adding the path containing the DLL to the PATH environment variable.</div>

so, amqp.h is in the right place.<br>

CMake Error at Modules/LibFindMacros.cmake:74 (message):<br>
�Required library Rabbitmqc NOT FOUND.<br>
<br>

Still fails.<br>
<br>
I'm wondering if this is even worth the effort. �(Not your wrapper,<br>
just the cmake process).<br>
<br>
Once I've gotten the C library itself to build (using python et al<br>
to build the framing files), I'm tempted to just extract the .c and<br>
.h files I need into a new Visual Studio project, and go from there.<br>
<br>
I understand the concept of cmake (trying to get a platform independent<br>
delivery base), but at this point, for a library with only really<br>
10 .c and .h files, I've got at least 4 directories, the .vcproj files<br>
have tons of -I directives, and......<br>
<br>
<br>
Anyway, after seeing the trace above, if you have any clues, I'd<br>
appreciate it.<br>
