Import Third-Party CMake Library Example

This example demonstrates how to import third-party CMake libraries.

Example Flow

tinyxml2 is a a small C++ XML parser. It is imported, without modification, for use in the project's main component (see the main component's CMakeLists.txt). To demonstrate the library being used, a sample XML is embedded into the project. This sample XML is then read and parsed later on using tinyxml2.

Output

I (317) example: Setting up...
I (317) example: Copying sample XML to filesystem...
I (647) example: Reading XML file
I (657) example: Read XML data:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<note>
    <to>Tove</to>
    <from>Jani</from>
    <heading>Reminder</heading>
    <body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>
