Is it possible to have a dependent project use configuration from a
previously installed project?
- IF the dependent project creates a ProjectConfig.cmake, and
- IF said ProjectConfig.cmake sets the necessary variables referencing
where its versions of dependencies can be found, and
- IF the dependee project finds the dependent project before any other
dependencies
...then I think yes. The second is a little unusual though; is the
dependent project under your control? (You can also have e.g. a
'USE_DEPENDENCIES_FILE' for the dependent project if you don't want to
force that projects versions of its own dependencies on downstream
users. Which probably you shouldn't. Same general idea, though; the
dependent project has to provide the information and the dependee has to
use it.)
