According to https://github.com/nu-book/zxing-cpp/blob/bee813aebf01d42476b1b5c463f9e07ed0067443/example/CMakeLists.txt , executables are built when BUILD_READERS and BUILD_WRITERS are defined. However, no install() target is provided. As a result, the built binaries will not be installed into /usr/bin/ on POSIX-like OS, even if BUILD_EXAMPLES is enabled.

As a result, I propose the following prototype patch as a possible fix:

Just FYI, I hereby release this patch into the Public Domain.

I am making the assumption that the built example bin files should always be installed. If not, we can always add another option in topdir CMakeLists.txt.
