Yes, this installs the Config.cmake file to a place where it will be found by find_package(). If you would only install(EXPORT ... FILE helloConfig.cmake) , i.e. name the exported target file Config.cmake, then you wouldn't have a place where you can set the include directory variables or other information. > 2.

Yes. configure_file() creates the output files in CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR if you don't tell it to put it somewhere else. > 3.

See the documentation for find_package(), for the locations where it searches Config.cmake files. lib/hello-1.1/helloConfig.cmake sounds good, this should be the "<prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib|share)/<name>*/" case from the docs. kdelibs puts it into lib/cmake/<name>/ Alex -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
