Building the Core Library

CMake 3.30 or later is required to build the Core Library. If you are new to CMake, read the official User Interaction Guide first.

If your project is based on CMake, you can use the find_package command to import the Core Library as a static library target. If your project is not based on CMake, you might want to build the Core Library first and use the prebuilt library.

Using the Core Library in a CMake project

If you have installed the CCL SDK locally, simply import the Core Library (find_package (corelib REQUIRED)) and link the Core Library to your application (target_link_libraries (MyApplication PRIVATE corelib)).

To build from source, add the CCL framework repository to your project (e.g. using git submodule). Add <framework>/build/cmake/modules/shared to your CMAKE_MODULES_PATH and call include (vendor) in your CMakeLists.txt. Then use find_package and target_link_libraries as shown above.
