Using ng-log in a CMake Project

Assuming that ng-log was previously built using CMake or installed using a package manager, you can use the CMake command find_package to build against ng-log in your CMake project as follows:

CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.16)
project (myproj VERSION 1.0)

find_package (ng-log 0.8.2 REQUIRED)

add_executable (myapp main.cpp)
target_link_libraries (myapp ng-log::ng-log)

Compile definitions and options will be added automatically to your target as needed.

Alternatively, ng-log can be incorporated into using the CMake command add_subdirectory to include ng-log directly from a subdirectory of your project by replacing the find_package call from the previous snippet by add_subdirectory. The ng-log::ng-log target is in this case an ALIAS library target for the ng-log library target.
