The .dll files are not installed on Windows when libmaxminddb is built as a shared library.
A shared on Windows consist of the
.dll
with the actual code and.lib
with the description of symbols. Weirdly enough, the.dll
s are installed into runtime directory and.lib
s into the libraries directory.The install target in CMake installs only
ARCHIVE
andPUBLIC_HEADER
objects. To support Windows, it either needs to includeRUNTIME
as well or the install command doesn't need to list the objects types. This PR uses the later approach.
