Also if to try to link the library to a test project (created in accordance with DEPENDENCY.md) the errors are same.

Reproduced. This will be fixed in the next version of our lib. I'm currently working on a few minor additions and bug fixes. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for the bug report!

@amunra, when do you plan the next release?

[amunra]

Once the bug is fixed 😊.

This used to work, now on re-run our CI fails too. Ah, good old CMake.

A few days, I presume.

[amunra]

This should be fix as per the latest release 3.0.0.
