[libmupdf] linking error

[aureliencc]

Hello everyone,

I installed libmupdf with ./vcpkg install libmupdf and did not have any instructions on how to include the package in my project cmake file. I'm used to have find_package(...) and target_link_libraries(...) instructions at the end of package installation so I guess I had to include this package manually.

Please note that libmupdf is only availaible as a static library and that I did run ./vcpkg integrate install. I tried to include libmupdf.lib(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/vcpkg/packages/libmupdf_x64-windows-static/lib/libmupdf.lib") like so target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/vcpkg/packages/libmupdf_x64-windows-static/lib/libmupdf.lib") but got plenty of LNK unresolved external symbol error because dependencies were missing(from font.c.obj, noto.c.obj..).

After looking for the issue, I found this stackoverflow which talks about "libthirdparty.lib" which might be what I'm missing here. Unfortunately, vcpkg did not build it and the port's source even include a patch file called "ports/libmupdf/dont-generate-extract-3rd-party-things.patch" which seems to prevents the build of this lib but doesn't seem to be used ?

Could you please explain how I'm suppose to build & link this package to my project please ?

Thank you,

Update : The file "ports/libmupdf/dont-generate-extract-3rd-party-things.patch" might not have anything to do with "libthirdparty.lib", I mixed both while doing research.
