This package compiles several shared libraries, but does not expose any symbol on Windows, so if the CMake project is compiled on Windows, no import library
.libis actually generated.On Linux and macOS, everything compiles fine as by default all the symbols are visible. We can achieve exactly the same behavior in Windows by setting to
ONtheCMAKE_WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLSCMake variable, so this PR sets theCMAKE_WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLSvariable toON, to ensure that the compilation works fine on Windows.
