I would like to use the range-v3 library in my project, but i don't understand how. The installation description says the following:
This library is header-only. You can get the source code from the range-v3 repository on github. To compile with Range-v3, just
#include
the individual headers you want.
Does that mean I can copy and paste the needed header files and add the filepath to my CMake file? I am a bit confused, because I never included third party library.
Note: please see hythis' answer for a better solution.

Basically, yes. First git clone
to <path_to_range_v3>
. Then include these lines into CMakeLists.txt
:
add_library(range_v3 INTERFACE IMPORTED)
set_target_properties(range_v3 PROPERTIES
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES <path_to_range_v3>/include)
target_link_libraries(your_target PUBLIC range_v3)
