Building and Installing Quill as Static Library With External libfmt

cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/my/fmt/fmt-config.cmake-directory/ -DQUILL_FMT_EXTERNAL=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/quill/install-dir/'

Then use the library from a CMake project, you can locate it directly with find_package()

Directory Structure

my_project/
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── main.cpp

CMakeLists.txt

# Set only if needed - quill was installed under a custom non-standard directory
set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH /test_quill/usr/local/)

find_package(quill REQUIRED)

# Linking your project against quill
add_executable(example main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(example PRIVATE quill::quill)

Embedded

To embed the library directly, copy the source to your project and call add_subdirectory() in your CMakeLists.txt file

Directory Structure

my_project/
├── quill/            (source folder)

add_subdirectory(quill)
add_executable(my_project main.cpp)
