 If you only need to use `serial_cpp` inside a given CMake project, it make sense to include it via the [CMake's `FetchContent` module](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FetchContent.html):

     serial_cpp is a cross-platform, simple to use library for using serial ports on computers.
     This library provides a C++, object oriented interface for interacting with RS-232
