Using ‘install(EXPORT …)’ you can generate required files to manage imported targets BUT building and exporting targets must be done in a different build environment from the one which imports the targets.

In this case, the Libraries I'm depending on are generated, built and installed using CMake. I'm hoping that CMake is able to generate the Find<package>.cmake for me with the appropriate imported targets, as long as INSTALL(export...) was used properly...?

Using EXPORT is a possibility to generate a Config file for the package. Another possibility is to have a FindLibA.cmake file which creates an imported target by using command ‘add_library (LibA SHARED IMPORTED)’.

I assume you mean the library does not export its targets properly? Something like this: # https://cmake.org/Wiki/CMake/Tutorials/Exporting_and_Importing_Targets install(TARGETS generator DESTINATION lib/myproj/generators EXPORT myproj-targets) install(EXPORT myproj-targets DESTINATION lib/myproj) On Fri, Apr 13, 2018 at 3:05 AM CHEVRIER, Marc <marc.chevr...@sap.com<mailto:marc.chevr...@sap.com>> wrote: The creation of “imported” target is the responsibility of the package. May be the package “LibA” does not create a such target. In this case, you have to rely on variables (like LibA_LIBRARIES and so on…). The documentation of the package, if any, generally describe how to use the package.
