Compile project using system taglib

[botantony]

Hi, recently I tried to submit new version to Homebrew package manager (Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/209826). It looks like now you bundle taglib with the program. Because git tags don't contain neither submodules nor .git directory it is impossible to compile your program from the source code. My solution was to remove add_subdirectory(taglib) line from CMakeList.txt, replace #include "taglib/path/lib.h" with #include <taglib/lib.h>, and set -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH flag.

I wonder if it would be possible to update build instruction so that it'd use system taglib in case if local taglib directory is empty?

The current situation is that the Homebrew official repository has not yet merged the taglib v2.x version supporting the CMake toolchain. The existing version remains v1.13.1, which lacks compatibility with CMake-based dependency management. I have reviewed your pull request to Homebrew (thank you for your contributions to this project), but unfortunately, I currently do not have the bandwidth to maintain any projects. Therefore, we will need to wait for the official taglib@2 release or explore other potential solutions.

I closed that PR in favor of updating both Taglib and Ncmdump: Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/210191
