Integrate Licensecc in your application¶
This short guide explain how to integrate licensecc in your application.
Working examples are provided in the examples project.
Build System - locate and link the licensecc¶
We strongly recommend to use CMake as a build system. If this is the case, the easiest way to compile is to configure LicenseCC as a git submodule of your project.
Then you can copy the cmake module Findlicensecc.cmake into your cmake modules directory in order to be able to
locate the compiled library.
Adding the following lines to your CMakeLists.txt
find_package(licensecc 2.0.0 REQUIRED)
will make the external target licensecc::licensecc_static to be available for linking.
Findlicensecc.cmake takes the following CMake variables as input.
Cmake variable |
Description |
|---|---|
LICENSECC_LOCATION |
If licensecc was not checked out as a git submodule, in this variable you can provide an hint
to locate the library. It may point to the installation folder or the source folder.
|
LCC_PROJECT_NAME |
Name of the project (the software where you want to integrate licensecc).
Alternatively it is possible to specify a component name in the component section of find_package.
