<div>Hey Andreas,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> thanks for your comments. Yes I too have exhausted the resources you have mentioned here. The concepts make sense and I see the intended point but for a beginner its hard to grasp on how to implement and given the type of project application of cmake's
is diverse (easy to complex). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Im in need of some clear cut examples of modern cmake for it to really sink in (easy to complex). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I feel you have to be a veteran in cmake to understand how to implement the new way and overcome the problems of dependencies not providing modern transitive packages and the struggle of not just calling find_package.. etc. Instead we have to make that
transition our selves in some cases. This is the hard part.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However if we are into making libraries it would be a benefit to know the process of cmake packages but at the advantage of being the maker and knowing the dependency path if the library does borrow. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It be great to see cmake.org revamping the webinars for the aforementioned.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards,</div>

<br>
i just googled for "modern cmake" and came up with at least two <br>
interesting talks from cppcon and boostcon:<br>

I just slipped through them, but they look like the right way. Another <br>
nice summary is at <br>
