That assumes that all components are wanted and are meant to be all used together at once for linking. CMake's find_package command is meant to find what's available. Project code then links to some subset of the actual targets available. Maybe we'd need a variable-only .pc file with a specific naming convention for that. > find_package(zlib CONF VERSION > 1.0) find_package already has a "CONFIG" mode. The semantics of pkgconf are different enough I don't think we should overload the command. I'd rather have a separate find_pkgconf command. Or maybe another name will be appropriate depending on the semantics designed. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
