[cmake-developers] [partial duplicate of users mailing list] SelectLibraryConfigurations

[Adam Rankin]

Ok, I admit I'm just diving into cmake internals so I'm still catching up.

Is there documentation on best practices for writing findxyz modules?

How does a client determine the target names that are imported after calling find_package?

Thanks for the help, I'm happy to do my learning by reading if you have any recommended resources.

Cheers,
Adam
