Installing “pico-arduino” with CMake

I finally could tick off the final to-do for my Pico-Arduino project: It is not necessary any more to install the project in advance. The project can now be treated as library and you can just pull it automatically from github with the help e.g. of a cmake fetchcontent. Here is a simple example:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.19.2)
set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD 11)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)

include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare( arduino GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/pschatzmann/pico-arduino.git  GIT_TAG  main)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(arduino)

project(use_as_library)

add_executable(use_as_library use_as_library.cpp)

# Pull in our arduino library
target_link_libraries(use_as_library arduino)
# create map/bin/hex/uf2 file etc.
pico_add_extra_outputs(use_as_library)

The full example can be found on Github.
