c++ - How to use pkg-config in CMake (juCi++)

I've been happily programming in C++ and compiling with g++ for quite a while. Not long ago, I'd decided to get an IDE, and I came accross juCi++.

This IDE is absolutely brilliant, but it uses CMake (or Meson) to build projects. This wasn't a problem, until I had to include a library (GTK+ 3.0 if you're wondering) using pkg-config. This could be done quite easily when compiling with g++, but, as I am completely new to CMake, I have no idea how to do it in the new IDE.

Can somebody please explain?

If your IDE handles CMake and Meson, it should be able to detect your project files. I'd say go for Meson, it's the future, and CMake syntax has a few quirks that Meson doesn't.

Meson:

Meson documentation

He's a basic meson.build that expects to find your application code in main.c and produces a binary named gtk3-test.

project('gtk3-test', 'c')

cc = meson.get_compiler('c')
deps = dependency ('gtk+-3.0')
sources = ['main.c']

executable('gtk3-test', sources, dependencies: deps)

CMake

CMake documentation

For CMake, just give a look at my answer to How do I link gtk library more easily with cmake in windows? (which also works under Linux). It was for GTK+2, but adapting it to GTK+3 is easy, so here's the CMakeLists.txt to use:

project (gtk3-test)
cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.4)

find_package (PkgConfig REQUIRED)
pkg_check_modules (GTK3 REQUIRED gtk+-3.0)

include_directories (${GTK3_INCLUDE_DIRS})
link_directories (${GTK3_LIBRARY_DIRS})
add_executable (gtk3-test main.c)
add_definitions (${GTK3_CFLAGS_OTHER})
target_link_libraries (gtk3-test ${GTK3_LIBRARIES})
