Build System

The primary build system is CMake. Libraries and applications developed as part of the project can and should be reused to minimize duplicate functionality.

The project uses vcpkg for managing external dependencies, which is included in the repository as a Git submodule at native/extern/vcpkg. The tool is automatically installed when building the development container and is available in all projects. The standard workflow is described below.

Service Initialization
- Create a directory with the appropriate name (see conventions)
```
mkdir native/em-es.cpp && cd native/em-es.cpp
```
- Initialize vcpkg:
```
vcpkg new --application
```
Declaring External Dependencies

Required dependencies can be found in the registry.
```
vcpkg add port protobuf
```

CMake Initialization

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.11)
set(CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE $ENV{VCPKG_ROOT}/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake 
    CACHE STRING "Vcpkg toolchain file")
project(em-es.cpp CXX)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 20)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
set(CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS true)
set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Debug)

find_package(protobuf CONFIG REQUIRED)

Using Internal Dependencies

Internal dependencies are included as CMake modules:
```
add_subdirectory(../other)
```
Building
```
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && make
```
