Windows build error with 1.1.0

[adamski]

What happened?

Using realm-cpp version 1.1.0 via CMake, I get a compilation error because the contents of sdk.hpp is only a path:

../../src/cpprealm/sdk.hpp

Repro steps

Add realm via CPM:

CPMAddPackage(NAME cpprealm
        GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/realm/realm-cpp.git
        GIT_TAG v1.1.0
)

Then

target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} cpprealm ...)

Then I get:

<path-to>\Cache\cpprealm\61e53a81097c805b409b6f123e8c638ce1f4ee29\include\cpprealm\sdk.hpp(1,1): error C2059: syntax error: '.'

Hey @adamski, This is caused by Windows not supporting symbolic links out of the box. You'll need to enable symbolic links first and then try rebuilding. Ultimately we plan to move the actual headers into the include folder so that you don't face this issue in the future.

@leemaguire can you please point me to a guide for how to do that?

It looks like there's a PR on the way so I might just wait for that..

Thanks
