Directly including this repository as a Git submodule, or even just a shallow copy of the
source code into new projects might not be ideal when using CMake.
Another option is using CMake's `FetchContent` module, available since version `3.11`.
```cmake
# Define the minumun CMake version, as an example 3.24
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.24)
# Include the module
include(FetchContent)
# If using Qt6, override DEFAULT_MAJOR_VERSION
set(QT_DEFAULT_MAJOR_VERSION 6 CACHE STRING "Qt version to use, defaults to 6")
# Set QAPPLICATION_CLASS
set(QAPPLICATION_CLASS QApplication CACHE STRING "Inheritance class for SingleApplication")
# Declare how is the source going to be obtained

# Fetch the repository and make it available to the build
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(SingleApplication)
# Then simply use find_package as usual
find_package(SingleApplication)
# Finally add it to the target_link_libraries() section

The library sets up a `QLocalServer` and a `QSharedMemory` block. The first
instance of your Application is your Primary Instance. It would check if the
shared memory block exists and if not it will start a `QLocalServer` and listen
