Does that help?
This would definitely help me. I am wondering one thing though. Do you place all your FindXXX.cmake in the same folder? If I understand you correctly it would like something like this: UMC3D/ CMakeLists.txt GFL/ CMakeLists.txt Device/ CMakeLists.txt Test/ CMakeLists.txt Then I need to create a CMake folder like so: UMC3D/ CMake/ FindGFL.cmake FindDevice.cmake . . . A difference that I can see with this compared to Boost.Build is that the configuration of GFL (build and usage) is separated (GFL/CMakeLists.txt + CMake/FindGFL.cmake). Is this how you deal with this? Maybe it is not a big problem.
