I want to involve a Graphviz library gvc in my Cpp project.
The Cpp project is an extremely simplified syntax analyser, and I include the graphviz/gvc.h to draw syntax analysis tree.

I construct the project via CMake and MinGW tools.
Then I wrote my CMakeLists.txt as below:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)

project(Analyser)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED True)
set(GV_HOME "D:/Program Files (x86)/Graphviz")
file(GLOB SRC CONFIGURE_DEPENDS src/*.cpp)

include_directories(${GV_HOME}/include)
include_directories(include)

link_directories(${GV_HOME}/lib)
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} src/main/main.cpp ${SRC})

target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} gvc cgraph)

Then I successfully compiled the project and got an .exe file.

Well, the strange thing occured: It run without returning any results on the terminal.

I can’t figure out the reason…

And the project structure is like:

project---
         |*--src
         |
         |*--build
         |
         |*--include

At first, I couldn’t compile the project.

Then I try to add an entry cgraph in the target_link_libraries() in CMakeLists.txt and successfully compile it in the end, while can’t run the .exe normally.

I wanna konw how to address that question.
