How this works

This template searches for the wxWidgets library using FindPackage. If not found, it downloads the library source from GitHub, compiles it, and links it with the main project.

The super build pattern with ExternalProject_Add is used to achieve this.

Requirements

This works on Windows, Mac, and Linux. You'll need cmake and a C++ compiler (tested on clang, gcc, and MSVC).

Linux builds require the GTK3 library and headers installed in the system.

Building

To build the project, use:

cmake -S. -Bbuild
cmake --build build

This will create a directory named build and create all build artifacts there. The main executable can be found in the build/subprojects/Build/wx_opengl_tutorial_core folder.
