Hi, the simplest way AFAIK would be like
install(
TARGETS foo EXPORT Foo-config
ARCHIVE DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR}
LIBRARY DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR}
)
install(EXPORT Foo-config DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_DATADIR}/Foo/cmake)
or
install(EXPORT Foo-config NAMESPACE foo: DESTINATION
${CMAKE_INSTALL_DATADIR}/Foo/cmake)
You could also do
set(CMAKE_EXPORT_PACKAGE_REGISTRY ON)
export(TARGETS foo NAMESPACE foo:: FILE "Foo-config.cmake")
export(PACKAGE Foo)
which puts the build directory in ~/.cmake (Unix|Linux) or a registry
key (Windows) so you don't have to do an install to build against the
package, but you can easily run into problems so it is not recommended.
Note most docs will have the CamelCase syntax for config files (e.g.
FooConfig vs foo-config) but in my experience either form works.

Hi,
I'm trying to get started with CMake in a personal project having used
other build system previously. The main reason to try out CMake is
that CUDA support sucks in Bazel. I see a lot of conflicting
information in tutorials and blog posts and I'm trying to avoid going
down the rabbit hole reading docs, so I'm hoping someone can point me
to the simplest way of doing what I want.
My template project has the following layout
foo/CMakeLists.txt
/src/foo.cc
/foo.h
/internal/log.h
The header foo.h should after installation be usable as "#include
<foo/foo.h>" by users and the header in the internal subfolder should
not be installed. It should also be possible for a user to just do:
find_package(foo REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(bar PRIVATE foo)
Some other minor points:
1. I want to use apply the "-Wall -Werror" flags on my own code (not
on deps or force it on client code).
2. My own code should be compiled as C++17.
I'm attaching my current CMakeLists.txt below. What's currently
missing is that the library won't be found using "find_package", since
I haven't figured out the simplest way to accomplish this. I'm also
not sure whether I'm correctly and idiomatically.
Anyone care to point on non-idiomatic things in my file below as well
as what the simplest way is to make find_package work? My
understanding is that there are some packages that can automatically
generate the required files.
==== start ====
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.15)
project(foo
VERSION 0.1
DESCRIPTION "Foo project"
LANGUAGES CXX
)
include(GNUInstallDirs)
add_library(foo SHARED src/foo.cc)
target_compile_options(foo PRIVATE -Wall)
target_compile_options(foo PRIVATE -Werror)
set_target_properties(foo PROPERTIES CXX_STANDARD 17)
target_compile_features(foo PUBLIC cxx_std_17)
target_include_directories(foo
PUBLIC
$<INSTALL_INTERFACE:include>
$<BUILD_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/src>
PRIVATE
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/src
)
install(
TARGETS foo
ARCHIVE DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR}
LIBRARY DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR}
)
install(
FILES src/foo.h
DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR}/foo
)
==== end ===
Best,
Edvard
