I admit I was not reading the docs in that depth, but REQUIRED can only mean one thing and should not need second guessing the documentation. Sadly, someone thought otherwise. > Do you see this only with Qt or do other packages with components (may be > Boost) behave like this? > I guess that Qt5 should be running in config mode, whereas boost must be in > module mode though. I was debugging an older cmake project and wondered why it was not finding the non-standard Qt location, that's when I stumbled upon this issue.
