How to setup SFML on Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2022 and CMake?

I am trying to figure out how to get SFML to work with CMake and Visual Studio 2022 on Windows 10.

So far I have

There is a file in my sfml folder SFMLConfig.cmake. I need to use this in combination with find_package (cmake) but I have no idea how to do this.

I've added a screenshot of VS and the sfml folder containing the .cmake files.

The sfml folder is structured something like this - if you've used SFML before you are probably familiar with it.

sfml/
  bin/
    openal32.dll
    ...
  include/
    sfml/
      Audio/
      Graphics/
      ...
  lib/
    cmake/
      SFML/
        SFMLConfig.cmake
        ...
    sfml-audio.lib
    sfml-audio-d.lib
    ...
  share/

You just need to set SFML_ROOT to X:\REDACTED\source\repos\REDACTED\REDACTED\sfml. It is not appropriate to hard-code such a path in the CMakeLists.txt, but you can put it in a preset. This works either as a CMake variable or as an environment variable.

Please read the full documentation for find_package, the Config-Mode Search Procedure in particular: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/find_package.html

Also worth noting: it is much easier to manage dependencies on Windows using vcpkg than littering dubious ("what I believe to be") binaries across your filesystem.
