Thanks for the reply. I haven't figured out how to use add_subdirectories like you suggested but I was able to get it working based on this https://github.com/josesj/rest-json-cpp-boilerplate

But at least I got off the ground. :) On Sat, May 5, 2018 at 12:09 PM J Decker <d3c...@gmail.com> wrote: > for such things I often include the sources in my tree and just > 'add_subdirectory( "extra/restbed" )' > it's cleaner to do a external project rule... > which can download/checkout sources and then build those and the output is > findable by other projects just by referencing the targets. > https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/ExternalProject.html > > On Sat, May 5, 2018 at 11:21 AM, Christofer Jennings <boz...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Hi All, >> >> How do you use a 3rd party dependency like restbed in a cmake build? >> >> Total nube here.
