Just a thought on your thought.
We are incorporating 3rd party library Bullet in our own library.
This can
be done on two levels (via an option). Either by sources (which is
standard
practice with Bullet), or by linking to the built Bullet libraries
directly.
Now find_package(BULLET) (i.e. the findBullet.cmake script) sets
BULLET_FOUND to true only if the include directory *and* the
libraries are
found. But if we only use the sources, we don't need the libs and we
ignore
the BULLET_FOUND "error" if they don't exist but still use the path
to the
include directories.
Wouldn't it be good if you could extend find_package() with some kind
of
"SOURCE-ONLY" communication or do you think that is the
responsibility of
the find<package>.cmake writer?
If you are using the sources as internal copy of that library, don't
you also have the include files as internal copy? In this case, it would
be wrong to use the external headers as they might not match your source
copy.
