The FetchContent integration example demonstrates how to consume VanillaPDF using CMake's FetchContent mechanism in real-world scenarios.
Features Demonstrated
- Real GitHub Integration: Fetches VanillaPDF from GitHub repository (not local source)
- Cross-platform Testing: Windows (vcpkg), Linux (apt), macOS (Homebrew) dependency strategies
- CMake Test Integration: Uses
add_test() and enable_testing() for proper test execution
- Dependency Management: Shows both vcpkg and system package approaches
- Actual PDF Creation: Creates real PDF files and validates functionality
Quick Usage
cd examples/fetchcontent-integration
cmake --preset windows-x64-debug # or linux-x64-debug, macos-arm64-debug
cmake --build --preset windows-x64-debug
ctest --preset windows-x64-debug --output-on-failure
Dependency Management
The example demonstrates different dependency management strategies:
- Windows: Uses internal vcpkg for all dependencies
- Linux: Uses system packages (
apt-get install) for faster builds
- macOS: Uses Homebrew packages (
brew install) for faster builds
Continuous Integration
This integration approach is continuously validated via automated CI workflows across all supported platforms.
- Note
- When using FetchContent, you are responsible for managing VanillaPDF's dependencies through system package managers or other packaging systems.
