Building problems

[artiomn]

I want to build and install the framework with all libraries locally in /usr/local.
Usual way for this is to use CMake.
But some non-standard packages are finding and build failed:

$ cmake -B build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local .

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:25 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by
  "unofficial-libmariadb" with any of the following names:

    unofficial-libmariadbConfig.cmake
    unofficial-libmariadb-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "unofficial-libmariadb" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
  or set "unofficial-libmariadb_DIR" to a directory containing one of the
  above files.  If "unofficial-libmariadb" provides a separate development
  package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

I think this problem happens, because MariaDB (and SQLite) used from the PPA, but what is the problem to use official package libmariadb-dev?

I ran into the same problem today. Building it as follows worked for me:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/matt-42/lithium
cd lithium/
./vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
vcpkg/vcpkg install
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake .
cmake --build .

It would be great if that could be documented somewhere.

@jketema, thank you, it works.
