That CMake code reads nicely; a little more verbose than desirable, but
whatever works as it's an OOT & not GR proper. You -might- be able to do
"find_package(gnuradio-myoot)" ... might work or not depending on whether
.cmake and/or .pc file were installed by the OOT.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could instead just do "find_package(gnuradio
COMPONENTS runtime myoot)" and then various return variables would be set
that you could use for the includes and linking? There's an open request
for something like this from, I believe, Mait. I don't think it's made
progress, but it's something I'd love to see! It would mean, of course,
than you can have only 1 version of "myoot" installed at a time. IMHO a
small price to pay for the convenience!
Food for thought... - MLD
