Using glog in a CMake Project

Assuming that glog was previously built using CMake or installed using a package manager, you can use the CMake command find_package to build against glog in your CMake project as follows:

CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.16)
project (myproj VERSION 1.0)

find_package (glog 0.7.1 REQUIRED)

add_executable (myapp main.cpp)
target_link_libraries (myapp glog::glog)

Compile definitions and options will be added automatically to your target as needed.

Alternatively, glog can be incorporated into using the CMake command add_subdirectory to include glog directly from a subdirectory of your project by replacing the find_package call from the previous snippet by add_subdirectory. The glog::glog target is in this case an ALIAS library target for the glog library target.
