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

[Adam Rankin]

Ah, gotcha.

So, is it expected that each project in a client's package will call find_package(xyz)?

I am used to the top level CMakeLists finding all the dependencies, and then passing the information down into projects. I am happy to update our system behavior to match what is more correct.

There is a section in the cmake-developer manual:

 https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.5/manual/cmake-developer.7.html#find-modules

Client authors should read the module documentation, just as they might to see the list of provided variables.
