CMake support

What do you think about adding cmake support?

We're really interested in incorporating a svg dom type library into our library, but we use cmake, and support Mac, Linux and Windows. So, best way is if svgdom were all packaged into a single git repo, and we could just add it as a git submodule.

I'd be willing to write the CMake build system.

Hi, thanks for the interest in my lib.

I know that CMake is quite popular nowadays, but I'm still considering whether it is worth to support and maintan CMake build scripts. I personally have small CMAke experience.

Note, that all my libraries are packaged to several packet systems and are cross-platform.
Installing, managing and updating libraries using packet systems is much more convenient than using submodules or copying code to your codebase.

The supported OS list is as following:

  • Linux
  • Windows (7+)
  • Mac OS X
  • Android
  • iOS

Supported packet systems list is:

  • deb (debian / ubuntu/ raspbian)
  • Msys2 pacman (Windows)
  • Nuget (Windows Visual Studio)
  • homebrew (Mac OS X)
  • cocoapods (iOS, Xcode, Mac OS X)

Would you consider if you can use those already supported distribution options?

By the way, if you are interested in rasterizing SVGs, I have the svgren library for that, while svgdom is only about reading/writing/manipulating SVG files.

@AndySomogyi I have corrected the installation instructions on the wiki page https://github.com/igagis/svgdom/blob/master/wiki/MainPage.adoc

@AndySomogyi rolling out your own CMake file to build svgdom and svgren is fairly easy, since all the dependencies are found on @igagis repos. Here's an example CMakeLists that I posted a while ago: cppfw/svgren#43 (comment)
