FindGDAL

Find Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL).

Deprecated since version 3.32: GDAL 3.5 and above provide a GDALConfig.cmake package configuration file. Call find_package(GDAL CONFIG) to find it directly and avoid using this find module. For further details, see GDAL's documentation on CMake integration.
