Is spdlog going header only only?

I noticed when I compile the default git branch 1.x, I don't get a static lib. Install does install the headers.

If I compile the last prod release, v1.12.0, I get the static .la lib when I run make.

spdlog was a header-only library until a few years ago. Now you can build static library and shared library.
There is still the option to use header-only.

So if the 1.x branch refers to an older commit, it is header-only.

Hm, it was head of the default branch. Using the tag of the last prod release is building the library fine so I'll stick with that.

It's possible Add_ExternalProject pulled the wrong version from git into my superbuild when I did not specify a branch or tag. Maybe it pulled master instead of 1.x.

The v2.x branch however, does support header only..
