cmake_find_package_multi
Warning
This is an experimental feature subject to breaking changes in future releases.
This generator is similar to the cmake_find_package generator but it allows working with
multi-configuration projects like Visual Studio
with both Debug
and Release
. But there are some differences:
Only works with CMake > 3.0
It doesn’t generate
FindXXX.cmake
modules butXXXConfig.cmake
files.The “global” approach is not supported, only “modern” CMake by using targets.
Usage
$ conan install . -g cmake_find_package_multi -s build_type=Debug
$ conan install . -g cmake_find_package_multi -s build_type=Release
These commands will generate several files for each dependency in your graph, including a XXXConfig.cmake
that can be located
by the CMake find_package(XXX) command, with XXX as the package name.
The name of the files follows the pattern <package_name>Config.cmake
. So for the zlib/1.2.11@conan/stable
package,
a zlibConfig.cmake
file will be generated.
