Using Third Party Libraries Like RayLib in Your Project with CMake

So, you've mastered compiling multi-file source-code into a program (binary). Congratulations. However, if you're going to write larger useful software, then you're going to need third-party libraries.
This video covers how to link third-party libraries into your project using CMake.

Amazing! you solved a week of struggling that no one else could fix! Thanks sooo much!!

Glad it was helpful.

You're a complete lifesaver.
I haven't jumped into CMake until recently and it really feels like a black box. Makefiles were much simpler to use, but oh well.
It takes time to learn all of this.

You're welcome

Ugh thank you sir. Spent 2 days dealing with vcpkg issues and of course there's a much more simple way 😅. Much appreciated!

[@KeaSigmaDelta]

You're welcome.

how can i do this with multiple files(i.e. having a main.cpp and a window.cpp etc) i tried everything but everytime it says "undefined reference to `InitWindow'" and other function names

[@KeaSigmaDelta]

I have a video on compiling multiple files:

It sounds like you either:
- Need to write a window.h header file with prototypes for InitWindow() and other functions (and then #include "window.h" in main.cpp)
- Or, need to add #include "window.h" in main.cpp
