I’m using CMake to generate my makefiles and VC solutions. I have my program running on linux just fine. I’m using a bunch of libraries, e.g. Lua. On my linux computer I just link to them and make sure in include the headers. All of the .so files are in some standard place. On Windows though I’m not sure what to do. Should I just include the entire Lua project into my own repository and link to that instead? Do I install Lua to some standard place like c:\program files\lua5.1 and link to that? Something else?

    Your libraries can be in any place, you just need to say – where are they.

    Before running cmake set up pathes of all your extern libs with some .bat file:

    set LIBRARYPATH =path\to\your\library\
set include=%include%;%LIBRARYPATH%\include
set lib=%lib%;%LIBRARYPATH%\lib

    Start cmd, run this .bat and then cmake should find all
