running the prov_dev_client_sample outside of the repo with custom hsm compiled

Question

So, following the docs, I am able to compile a custom HSM lib and link it to the sdk, and doing that, if I run the sample provided in prov_dev_client_sample with the certs in the same cmake directory (i.e azure-iot-sdk-c/cmake/*). But I created a new project and wanted to use the sample to start off and i get no errors in compiling, but when I run the code out of the repo. it gives me the below error

This is my corresponding cmake file

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16)
project(reader_simulation_azure C)

set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD 99)

set(AZUREIOT_INC_FOLDER ".." "." "./deps/parson" "/usr/local/include/azureiot" "/usr/local/include/azureiot/inc")

include_directories(${AZUREIOT_INC_FOLDER})

add_executable(reader_simulation_azure main.c)

target_link_libraries(reader_simulation_azure
        uuid
        prov_mqtt_transport
        prov_device_client
        prov_device_ll_client
        prov_auth_client
        hsm_security_client

        curl
        ssl
        crypto
        m
        parson
        )

upon checking I see that the Cmake file in the repo has the cmake flags needed to enable these and my code does not. any help as to what needs to change and what is going wrong would mean a lot.

Thanks in advance

Hello @Pavan ,

As per the related issue on github:

"If you named your custom hsm implementation hsm_security_client then you would run into an issue of name clashing with another lib we have named the same thing. The custom hsm would have to be named something else and likely added to the CMake list."
