You need to do add the dependencies in the config.cmake file, which means you
need to seperate the config and export file. So in your CMakeLists.txt, you
would do:
install(TARGETS myheaderonlylib EXPORT myheaderonlylib-targets DESTINATION
include)
install(EXPORT myheaderonlylib-targets DESTINATION
share/myheaderonlylib/cmake)
install(FILES myheaderonlylib-config.cmake DESTINATION
share/myheaderonlylib/cmake)
And then in myheaderonlylib-config.cmake you would write:
include(CMakeFindDependencyMacro)
find_dependency(Eigen)
include("${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/myheaderonlylib-targets.cmake")
This calls `find_dependency`, which is just a wrapper around `find_package`
that makes it more friendly inside of package config cmake file. This the user
just needs to call `find_package(myheaderonlylib)` and Eigen will be found
automatically.
