I have a problem. I use a library which is linked statically, and I have the .pdb file for debug info which corresponds to that library. However, I am not sure how to "link" to that .pdb file.

Note: both library (.lib) and .pdb files are prebuilt, meaning that I just downloaded them. Also {ENGINE_TARGET} is a target which gets compiled to .lib as well.

This is how I link to the library (see comments in code):

target_include_directories(${ENGINE_TARGET} PUBLIC "src/" "vendor/imgui" "vendor/ImGuizmo" "vendor/taskflow" "vendor/glm" PRIVATE "${Vulkan_SDK}\\Include" "${Vulkan_SDK}\\Source" ${Stb_INCLUDE_DIR} "vendor/Jolt" "vendor/mono/include/mono-2.0" "vendor/bc7enc_rdo/include" "vendor/nv-libdeflate" "vendor/meshoptimizer/src" "vendor/fastgltf/include" "vendor/NVAftermath/include" "vendor/miniball/cpp/main" "vendor/METIS" // <--- HERE is that library's location ) 
target_link_libraries( ${ENGINE_TARGET} PRIVATE debug shaderc_sharedd.lib optimized shaderc_shared.lib debug shaderc_utild.lib optimized shaderc_util.lib glfw Jolt libmono-static-sgen.lib MonoPosixHelper.lib Ws2_32.lib Winmm.lib Version.lib Bcrypt.lib bc7enc_rdo OpenMP::OpenMP_CXX nv_libdeflate meshoptimizer fastgltf metis.lib // <--- HERE is the library itself. I want to also link to `metis.pdb` GKlib.lib )

    you don't link to pdb files, its loaded by your debugger and is not related to cmake Commented May 9, 2024 at 19:49
  • @AlanBirtles Oh, so I just put it in the working directory and it will work?... Commented May 9, 2024 at 20:10
  • Depends on your debugger Commented May 9, 2024 at 20:59
