first of all, sorry if my english is not perfect, i’m not a native speaker.
i’ve never worked with cmake nor am i really proficient in c++. this is the first time i really wanted to use a library that was provided by someone else.
i cloned the cpr repository into my “base” directory using the git clone command.
i also created a build folder as described in the describtion of the github page and used cmake to build the library (?).
all of this worked out so far, but when i want to compile the project i get the error message “File or directory not found”.
i’m quite desperate since chatgpt wasnt able to help me out at all.
all i wanted to do is make a simple https get request using the cpr library, but i have no idea on how to use this at all, so wish someone would help me.
the code might be faulty, that is not the problem here. i just want to know how to use libraries in c++, because i am totally overwhelmed and lost and most of the time dont really understand the documentations.
i’m using ubuntu if this is of any help.

cpr is in directory:
~/cpr

my project is in directory:
~/portfolio/https_request
~/portfolio/https_request/bin
~/portfolio/https_request/include
~/portfolio/https_request/src
in this directory i have folder called bin where i wanted to put my executable into. i have another directory called src where my main.cpp and https_get_request.cpp is in and another directory called include in which is only the header-file https_get_request.h.

main.cpp:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

#include "../include/https_get_request.h"

int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{

    std::cout << "HTTPS Get Request" << std::endl;

    std::string url;

    std::cout << "Url: ";
    std::cin >> url;
    std::cout << std::endl;

    httpsGetRequest(url);

    return 0;
}

https_get_request.cpp:

#include <string>
#include "cpr/cpr.h"
void httpsGetRequest(std::string url)
{

    cpr::Session session;
    session.SetUrl(url);

    session.SetAcceptEncoding({"disabled"});

    cpr::Response response = session.Get();

    response.text;
}

i thank everyone who takes his precious time to help a little newbie like me out.
thanks in advance

i was expecting to be able to compile the project successfully
