Thanks, I realized this a bit too late. The title of the section was a
little misleading, I thought that section would go over the normal
find module scenario, not the config package one. In other words, the
section above it already gave instructions on creating the config
package file.

Yes, the documentation tells you to include what you need in the config 
file:

Thanks,

Steve.

[CMake] Automatic inclusion of import targets found by find_package()?

[Robert Dailey]

Let's say I have my own upstream library and I export a target for it.
This subsequent cmake file (containing my IMPORT target definition) is
included with my tarball.

When a consuming project wants to find and use my import targets, they
currently have to do (consider this pseudocode since i just typed it
up for example purposes):

find_package(mylibrary REQUIRED CONFIG)
include(${mylibrary_DIR}/lib/cmake/mylibrary-0.1.2/mylibrary.cmake)
add_executable(fubar mylibrary)

It would be nice if the include part happened automatically. Mostly
because since the version number is intertwined with the path, it
makes explicitly specifying it cumbersome and high maintenance.

Is there more automation here that I'm not seeing? Thanks in advance.
