Where is the library built and what is the name?

[coderDec]

• Describe what you want to achieve.
  I see that the documentation mentions "

To use this library from a CMake project, you can locate it directly with find_package()
however, when I build the project, I do not see any library built.

• Describe what you tried.
  History of commands
  2074 git clone https://github.com/nlohmann/json.git 2075 git branch 2076 ls 2077 cd json/ 2078 git branch 2079 git pull 2080 ls 2081 vi CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md 2082 mkdir build 2083 cd build/ 2084 ls 2085 cmake .. 2086 cmake --build . 2087 ctest --output-on-failure
• Describe which system (OS, compiler) you are using.
  find . -name "lib*"
  ./CMakeFiles/Export/lib
  ./test/cmake_add_subdirectory/nlohmann_json/CMakeFiles/Export/lib

and in these locations, it is not the library.

• Describe which version of the library you are using (release version, develop branch).
  develop branch

As mentioned in README, this is single-header library and there is no need to build anything. Just add the provided json.hpp to your project and you are good to go.

@nickaein if I want to use it as an external component to my project. What is the suggestion?

[coderDec]

I also tried this : #1976 (comment)

It still fails

In order to asses your issue, we need the following information:

• What is the issue you have?

• Please describe the steps to reproduce the issue. Can you provide a small but working code example?

• What is the expected behavior?

• And what is the actual behavior instead?

• Which compiler and operating system are you using? Is it a supported compiler?

• Did you use a released version of the library or the version from the develop branch?

• If you experience a compilation error: can you compile and run the unit tests?

@coderDec cmake integration is described here https://github.com/nlohmann/json#cmake. You may add PATHS <path_to_json> argument to find_package if path is non-default.
