cmake.toml

Under the hood cmkr generates the CMakeLists.txt required to build this project from the cmake.toml file:

[cmake]
version = "3.15"
cmkr-include = "cmake/cmkr.cmake"

[project]
name = "vcpkg_template"

# See https://vcpkg.io/en/packages.html for available packages
# Chose a version from https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/releases
[vcpkg]
version = "2021.05.12"
packages = ["fmt", "sqlite3"]

[find-package]
fmt = { version = "*" }
unofficial-sqlite3 = { version = "*" }

[target.example]
type = "executable"
sources = ["src/main.cpp"]
link-libraries = ["fmt::fmt", "unofficial::sqlite3::sqlite3"]
