CMake undefined reference when using fmt from vcpkg

Question

I'm pretty new at VSCode CMake and vcpkg, but I get in trouble when setting up environment.

Here's CMakeList.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0.0)
project(temp VERSION 0.1.0)

set(CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE "C:/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake")
set(VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET "x64-windows")

#include("C:/Users/dell/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake")

#include(FetchContent)

#FetchContent_Declare(fmt
#  GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt.git
#  GIT_TAG master
#)

#FetchContent_MakeAvailable(fmt)

add_executable(temp C++/temp/temp.cpp)
SET(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/C++/temp)

find_package(fmt CONFIG REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(temp PRIVATE fmt::fmt)

Here's my example for fmt:

#include <iostream>
#include "fmt/format.h"

int main() {
    fmt::print("This is a string {}", "world");
}

Here's error CMake gave:

But building with FetchContent works fine, what happened ?

Answer 1

The main reason of this is that I should use "fmt-header-only" instead of "fmt"
