Hi,
For example, I currently have both versions 2 and 3 of the GLFW
library installed on my Linux computer, named "libglfw.so.2" and
"libglfw.so.3". Is it possible to tell CMake to find a specific
version of GLFW (say, version 3), and it would be smart enough to look
for "libglfw.so.3" or "libglfw.so.3.*" or "libglfw.so.3.*.*"? (Or
something equivalent in Mac and Windows)
Those are SONAMEs of the library intended for the runtime loader.
Any number of those may be present in the same installation prefix to
satisfy runtime dependencies.
By convention only one version within that prefix may be available for
development at a time.
For that a symlink from libglfw.so to the actual library will be present
and required header files matching that version will be present.
Hence libglfw.so is intended for development and its presence implies
that appropriate headers should be available as well.
The sole presence of libglfw.so.2 or libglfw.so.3 neither implies that
headers will be available nor do you know which of those versions those
headers would be for.
