Hello,How to write a library (myLib as .a or .so) that can be used from an executable (myExe) ?
I read the CMake doc but, obviously, I still miss some major points !... My understanding is that, I need : - to write a FindMyLib.cmake for myExe to find myLib (= finding include/library directories, and, libraries to link with)
- to use find_package from myExe to find myLibI tried to write a mini-project (attached to this mail) to do that but it doesn't work: find_package doesn't find FindMyLib.cmake although CMAKE_MODULE_PATH has been updated.
Can somebody help me on making this project to work ? (not able to find FindMyLib.cmake, not sure to know the "good" way to write FindMyLib.cmake, others... - I would appreciate any remarks to explain me the "good" way to do thing)
Thanks, FranckNote: I set CMAKE_MODULE_PATH in the CMakeLists.txt of myLib (doing that from myExe sounds not relevant: if you know where the package is, no need to call find_package). Note: my understanding is that when this will work, I would be possible to build myLib as a .a or a .so, am I correct ?
