I have installed libfmt with homebrew. Files could be found in /usr/local/lib/libfmt.dylib
and and /usr/local/include/fmt
. Formally they are links to /usr/local/Cellar/...
.
G++ does not search /usr/local/include/ and /usr/local/lib/ by default. And I would not like to add them on project level.

You can do this by setting the relevant environment variables in your shell, e.g:
export CPATH=...
export LIBRARY_PATH=...
