Matthieu, I think are asking about the CMakePackageConfigHelpers CMake module (https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/CMakePackageConfigHelpers.html) that defines the macro 'configure_package_config_file'.
You can probably find several tutorials or examples by searching github or stackoverflow, etc. for 'CMakePackageConfigHelpers'. It is also covered in some detail in the e-book "Professional CMake" by Craig Scott (requires a purchase). -kt From: CMake <cmake-boun...@cmake.org> On Behalf Of Dorier, Matthieu Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2018 2:42 AM To: cmake@cmake.org Subject: [CMake] How to produce a -config.cmake file Hi, I'm using cmake to build a library (damaris). Once installed, I would like users to be able to find it and its dependencies using find_package(damaris). If I understand correctly, the way to do that is to have cmake create and install a "damaris-config.cmake" file. Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to do that? Here is some more information: the library depends on - Boost (using the default FindBoost.cmake installed with cmake) - XercesC (using a custom FindXercesC.cmake located in my source tree) - XSD (using a custom FindXSD.cmake as well) Additionally, it may have been built with the following optional dependencies: - CppUnit (using a custom FindCppUnit.cmake) - HDF5 (using the default FindHDF5.cmake shipped with cmake) - VisIt (using a custom FindVisIt.cmake) - ParaView (relying on the ParaViewConfig.cmake produced when installing ParaView). Thanks, Matthieu
