Hello All, I am sorry that I answer this late. Hopefully I can still help.
The cause of all trouble in alkimia is that the version checking is not done correctly. Pre alkimia 5 had a find module (which is wrong in the first place) which did not check any version. Also it would find any alkimia version (including 5 & 6). So renaming the cmake find module and config file will not fix that issue! Even the hack of Thomas in KMyMoney's config file to prevent pulling version 6 does not work here because the find module does not even provide any version information. In Version 5 I made a mistake, so alkimia 5 marks itself "COMPATIBILITY AnyNewerVersion" (this includes v6.0 v7.0...). However this is not an issue here. If it is easy to publish a version 5.0.1 we should fix that. My current suggestion to solve this issue is: 1) Let alkimia 4 die. Alkimia 5 is a perfect replacement. The only reason for the version jump was a really tiny change which caused ABI incompatibility. Any code that compiles with alkimia 4 should compile with version 5, too. Also no change in any CMakeLists.txt is needed if no alkimia >= 6 is on the system. 2) In KMyMoney we add the CONFIG option to find_package(). Then alkimia <= 4 is not found anymore. Also we add correct version information to the find_package() call. The hand written check should be removed. CMake has a powerful version checking system, we should relay on that! Then no complicated naming conventions have to be introduced (which will not solve all issues, btw). Greetings Christian > Thomas Baumgart <t...@net-bembel.de> hat am 23.
