This gives
$ cmake --help-module CMakePackageConfigHelpers
cmake version 2.8.7
Argument "CMakePackageConfigHelpers" to --help-module is not a CMake module.
on my system.
I understand now that ${INSTALL_DATA_DIR} is a variable I'll just have
to set myself, which does work if I set to a directory relative to the
installation directory.
Even the example runs through cleanly then, and produces
FooBarLibraryDepends.cmake
FooBarLibraryDepends-release.cmake
The all-important FooBarConfig.cmake, which I though this whole
document was about, is not created.
Is there any other documentation on this?
