[CMake] after running cmake, getting an error cannot find -levent

[Michael Ellery]

that seems to refer to libevent and the linker is not finding it - so you probably need to build/install that lib for your toolchain. It doesn’t look like there is a standard finder module for libevent currently, but if there were then find_package(LibEvent) would have likely alerted you when running cmake.
