How to working with the third-party static library(Ex: libusb-1.0.lib)

[rick-hanpin]

Hello Frang:
I'm new to NAppGUI and CMake. about below question I can't find any answer on Google.
When add new project by command "desktopApp("TestUSB" "Ben/TestUSB" "" NRC_NONE)", and add the "target_link_libraries(TestUSB usb-1.0)" to CMakeLists.txt file on my new project folder , but this file will be updated automatic every time when CMake configure.
How does the best way the NAppGUI working with a third-party library (Example; libusb-1.0.lib libusb-1.0.a ), if I don't want re-compiler the third-party library source code?

Hi @rick-hanpin, thank you for use NAppGUI!

You can link to the external library within the main CMakeLists.txt (/src/CMakeLists.txt). Indeed, the CMakeLists.txt in the subfolders are temporary and will be rewritten.

desktopApp("TestUSB" "Ben/TestUSB" "" NRC_NONE)

if(${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME} STREQUAL "Windows")
    target_link_libraries(TestUSB PRIVATE "/library/windows_folder/libusb-1.0.lib")
elseif(${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME} STREQUAL "Linux")
    target_link_libraries(TestUSB PRIVATE "/library/linux_folder/libusb-1.0.a")
endif()
