Linking on Windows

[omgal...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I'm trying to link an application against libarchive on Windows. I build the lib using Visual Studio 2017, and though I did find the static .lib file I can't find the 'include' folder with the library headers in the build dir. The 'INSTALL' target just puts man pages into my install dir. Can anyone give me a hand with this?

There are only two public headers: archive.h and archive_entry.h

I don't think anyone has yet filled in the necessary pieces to have a correct 'install' from the CMake build. We'd appreciate help in making this work.

Cheers,

Thanks. I actually realized that I hadn't set the ENABLE_INSTALL
option in CMake. That seems to do the trick.
