add_executable(StockDory src/Terminal/main.cpp ${StockDoryBackendType})

target_link_libraries(StockDory ftxui::screen ftxui::dom ftxui::component MantaRay)

I'm trying to do it in the same manner as FTXUI, but it doesn't seem to work for MantaRay. It works fine for FTXUI.

Error:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:32 (add_subdirectory):
  add_subdirectory given source "EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL" which is not an existing
  directory.

Any thoughts on how to?
