cmake - UnitTest++ linking unit test binaries fails

Question

I'm new to CMake, but I was able to setup the CMakeLists.txt files for my C++ project, it resembles a little bit this setup, BTW. I need to use UnitTest++ for unit testing, but for some reason linking the unit test executables fails. Here is the shell output:

This is my root CMakeLists.txt file:

jorge [~/coders/desarrollo/santotomasdeaquino] ~> cat CMakeLists.txt 
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH} "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/CMakeModules/")

# project name
project(tomas-aquino)

# In this project, Boost is gonna be use
find_package(Boost 1.48.0 REQUIRED COMPONENTS filesystem)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
set(LIBS ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
message(STATUS "Librerias: ${LIBS}")

include_directories(include)
include_directories(tests)

enable_testing()

add_subdirectory(src)
add_subdirectory(tests)
jorge [~/coders/desarrollo/santotomasdeaquino] ~> 

and this is my CMakeLists.txt file related to my executable unit testing binaries:

jorge [~/coders/desarrollo/santotomasdeaquino] ~> cat tests/CMakeLists.txt 
enable_testing()
find_package(UnitTest++ REQUIRED)
include_directories(${UNITTEST++_INCLUDE_DIRS})
set(LIBS ${LIBS} ${UNITTEST_LIBRARIES} ResourceManager)

add_executable(test_resourcemanager test_resourcemanager.cpp)
message(STATUS "Librerias: ${LIBS}")
target_link_libraries(test_resourcemanager ${LIBS})

add_test(test_resourcemanager ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/test_resourcemanager)

get_property(dirs DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} PROPERTY INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES)
foreach(dir ${dirs})
  message(STATUS "dir='${dir}'")
endforeach()
jorge [~/coders/desarrollo/santotomasdeaquino] ~> 

and here is the last CMakeLists.txt file related to building the libraries of my project:

jorge [~/coders/desarrollo/santotomasdeaquino] ~> cat src/CMakeLists.txt 
include_directories(./tomasaquino)
add_library(ResourceManager ./tomasaquino/ResourceManager.cpp)
jorge [~/coders/desarrollo/santotomasdeaquino] ~> 

What I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

It seems to be typo errors, my bad!

in the line set(LIBS ${LIBS} ${UNITTEST_LIBRARIES} ResourceManager) instead of ${UNITTEST_LIBRARIES} it should be ${UNITTEST++_LIBRARY}.

The unit test binaries now links successfully, haha.
