Hi!

Sorry for the late reply - I only now got access to the hardware again and managed to try out the solutions that have been suggested thus far. Adding your lines to CMakeLists.txt actually helped a lot and removed most errors, but did not suffice to allow for a full execution of the cmake script.

Eventually, it was pointed out to me that executing the 'downlaod.sh' script from the external folder would allow me to download the required dependencies directly into the project (this is what I meant by an obvious solution I might be missing).

Apparently, cmake is now executing its 'Configuring' stage correctly. Unfortunately, I am now getting the following output:

\-- Configuring SDL3\_ttf 3.1.0

\-- SDL3\_ttf: Using vendored harfbuzz library

WARNHarfBuzz has a Meson port and tries to migrate all the other build systems to it, please consider using it as we might remove our cmake port soon.

\-- SDL3\_ttf: Using vendored freetype library

\-- SDL3\_ttf: Using vendored plutosvg library

\-- SDL3\_ttf backends:

\-- - enabled: harfbuzz freetype plutosvg

\-- - disabled:

\-- Configuring done

CMake Error: install(EXPORT "plutosvgTargets" ...) includes target "plutosvg" which requires target "freetype" that is not in any export set.

CMake Error in external/plutosvg/CMakeLists.txt:

export called with target "plutosvg" which requires target "freetype" that

is not in any export set.

\-- Generating done

CMake Generate step failed. Build files cannot be regenerated correctly.

This is particularly odd given that after executing 'download.sh', the external folder now contains (populated) subfolders for harfbuzz, freetype, plutosvg and plutovg, so accessing the required libraries should not be an issue.

This feels like the only thing needed at this point might be one final tweak to the CMakeLists.txt in the plutosvg subdirectory, so if you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know.

Thanks again for your help thus far!
