i would like to add a FindXXX.cmake to each of my library packages.
Let's compare CMake with pkgconfig. A package containing a library is
responsible to put a .pc file into /usr/lib/pkgconfig/
[snip]
A package knows best where to find its own include and library
files. To maintain a FindXXX.cmake file should not be the task of CMake.
There is no point in providing a FindXXX.cmake file with your package
because the project finding XXX would need to locate FindXXX.cmake first.
A FindXXX.cmake module is used for packages that do not provide cmake
packaging files, and has to come with the client project or with CMake.
If your package is CMake-aware then it should install a CMake package file:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_2.6_Notes#Packages
This file is found by the find_package command with no help from a
FindXXX.cmake file at all.
Where can I put my custom FindXXX.cmake files ? Is it OK to write in
/usr/share/cmake-2.6/Modules/ ??
No. That is for CMake's installation.
