Extending CMake build configurations

[vovo-4K]

Hello! It's great to see sbgECom in the public repository. This will make using the library much easier in the CI pipeline.

I'm using sbgECom as a dependency using CMake add_directory() command.
It would be great if some build options will be added like:

• building sbgECom as a shared library
• building sbgECom as a static library
• turning off examples building

like:

option(BUILD_SBGECOM_SHARED "Build sbgECom shared" OFF)
option(BUILD_SBGECOM_STATIC "Build sbgECom static" ON)
option(BUILD_SBGECOM_EXAMPLES "Build examples" ON)

#...
if (BUILD_SBGECOM_SHARED)
	add_library(sbgECom SHARED ${SRC} ${COMMON_SRC})
endif()
if (BUILD_SBGECOM_STATIC)
	add_library(sbgECom STATIC ${SRC} ${COMMON_SRC})
endif()
#...

if (BUILD_EXAMPLES)
	# Add all examples
#...
endif()

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback.
We are indeed also using this type of conditional build options internally.
We haven't included it in the public sbgECom SDK for the sake of simplicity.

However, we can definitely add it.
By the way are you using Conan for your CI pipeline or not at all?
Thanks,

It would be great!
Yes, I use Conan as a dependency manager. I don't use Artifactory yet so for libraries which is not present in the Conan Center, the git submodules approach is used.
If the sbgECom will have a Conan recipe or will appear at Conan Center it also would be great!
