OpenCPN API distribution README

This repository contains API definitions to be used in plugin development for OpenCPN

Each directory contains a complete API definition, including a CMakeLists.txt. Usage:

• First copy the api to use to someplace in the plugin, typically a directory called libs. Using api-16 i. e. 1.16 from 5.0 this creates a directory called libs/api-16

• Use the API by including something like these lines in main CMakeLists.txt:

  add_subdirectory("libs/api-16")
  target_link_libraries(${PACKAGE_NAME} ocpn::api)
  

This sets all required header files, libraries and possible compiler options required by the API.
