Linker errors trying to use GenerateJsonSchema()

[sketch34]

I'm using flatbuffers via latest vcpkg.

All these functions are declared extern. I am able to compile and link against GenerateText() just fine.

Is there something special we need to do to have flatbuffers compile src/idl_gen_json_schema.cpp so that we can use GenerateJsonSchema()?

When trying to use GenerateJsonSchema() I get linker errors, as if the above cpp is not compiled by default when flatbuffers builds:

[build] /home/Dev/project/src/file.cpp:250: undefined reference to `flatbuffers::GenerateJsonSchema(flatbuffers::Parser const&, std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >*)'

Looks like GenerateJsonSchema() is indeed is not included in the runtime libraries. I suppose this makes sense. I was wanting to use it so I could send the JSON schema across the network to clients without having to do any file operations to load it from disk. Instead my cunning plan was to generate it from the embedded binary schema.

# Public flatc library to compile flatbuffer files at runtime.
cc_library(
    name = "flatbuffers",
    srcs = [
        "code_generators.cpp",
        "idl_gen_fbs.cpp",
        "idl_gen_text.cpp",
        "idl_parser.cpp",
        "reflection.cpp",
        "util.cpp",
    ],
    hdrs = ["//:public_headers"],
    strip_include_prefix = "/include",
    visibility = ["//:__pkg__"],
)

Most of src/idl_gen_* is included only in the flatc command-line tool, i.e. there's way to generate C++ code at runtime..
