CMake package

swaggercpp installs a standard CMake package (swaggercppConfig.cmake, swaggercppTargets*.cmake). Any CMake consumer can pick it up via find_package once the install prefix is on CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH.

Installing from source

git clone https://github.com/stescobedo92/swagger-cpp
cmake -S swagger-cpp -B swagger-cpp/build `
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:/opt/swaggercpp `
    -DSWAGGERCPP_BUILD_TESTS=OFF `
    -DSWAGGERCPP_BUILD_BENCHMARKS=OFF `
    -DSWAGGERCPP_BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF
cmake --build swagger-cpp/build --config Release
cmake --install swagger-cpp/build --config Release

INFO

You must resolve nlohmann_json, yaml-cpp and cpp-httplib yourself before configuring — either through vcpkg, Conan, or a manual install. The config file lists them as transitive find_dependency calls.

Consuming

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.26)
project(my_app LANGUAGES CXX)

list(APPEND CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "C:/opt/swaggercpp")

find_package(swaggercpp CONFIG REQUIRED)

add_executable(my_app main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(my_app PRIVATE swaggercpp::swaggercpp)
target_compile_features(my_app PRIVATE cxx_std_23)

What the config exports

• Target: swaggercpp::swaggercpp
• Headers: ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/include/swaggercpp/*.hpp
• Library: ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib/swaggercpp.{lib,a,so,dylib}
• CMake package files: ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib/cmake/swaggercpp/

pkg-config

A .pc file is also installed:

pkg-config --cflags --libs swaggercpp
