-# CMakePackageConfigHelpers
-# -------------------------
-#
-# Helpers functions for creating config files that can be included by other
-# projects to find and use a package.
-#
-# Adds the :command:`configure_package_config_file()` and
-# :command:`write_basic_package_version_file()` commands.
-#
-# Generating a Package Configuration File
-# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-#
-# .. command:: configure_package_config_file
-#
-# Create a config file for a project::
-#
-# configure_package_config_file(<input> <output>
-# INSTALL_DESTINATION <path>
-# [PATH_VARS <var1> <var2> ... <varN>]
-# [NO_SET_AND_CHECK_MACRO]
-# [NO_CHECK_REQUIRED_COMPONENTS_MACRO]
-# [INSTALL_PREFIX <path>]
-# )
-#
-# ``configure_package_config_file()`` should be used instead of the plain
-# :command:`configure_file()` command when creating the ``<PackageName>Config.cmake``
-# or ``<PackageName>-config.cmake`` file for installing a project or library.
-# It helps making the resulting package relocatable by avoiding hardcoded paths
-# in the installed ``Config.cmake`` file.
-#
-# In a ``FooConfig.cmake`` file there may be code like this to make the install
-# destinations know to the using project:
-#
-# .. code-block:: cmake
-#
-# set(FOO_INCLUDE_DIR "@CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_INCLUDEDIR@" )
-# set(FOO_DATA_DIR "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/@RELATIVE_DATA_INSTALL_DIR@" )
-# set(FOO_ICONS_DIR "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/share/icons" )
-# #...logic to determine installedPrefix from the own location...
-# set(FOO_CONFIG_DIR "${installedPrefix}/@CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR@" )
-#
-# All 4 options shown above are not sufficient, since the first 3 hardcode the
-# absolute directory locations, and the 4th case works only if the logic to
-# determine the ``installedPrefix`` is correct, and if ``CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR``
-# contains a relative path, which in general cannot be guaranteed. This has the
-# effect that the resulting ``FooConfig.cmake`` file would work poorly under
-# Windows and OSX, where users are used to choose the install location of a
-# binary package at install time, independent from how
-# :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` was set at build/cmake time.
-#
-# Using ``configure_package_config_file`` helps. If used correctly, it makes
-# the resulting ``FooConfig.cmake`` file relocatable. Usage:
-#
-# 1. write a ``FooConfig.cmake.in`` file as you are used to
-# 2. insert a line containing only the string ``@PACKAGE_INIT@``
-# 3. instead of ``set(FOO_DIR "@SOME_INSTALL_DIR@")``, use
-# ``set(FOO_DIR "@PACKAGE_SOME_INSTALL_DIR@")`` (this must be after the
-# ``@PACKAGE_INIT@`` line)
-# 4. instead of using the normal :command:`configure_file()`, use
-# ``configure_package_config_file()``
-#
-#
-#
-# The ``<input>`` and ``<output>`` arguments are the input and output file, the
-# same way as in :command:`configure_file()`.
-#
-# The ``<path>`` given to ``INSTALL_DESTINATION`` must be the destination where
-# the ``FooConfig.cmake`` file will be installed to. This path can either be
-# absolute, or relative to the ``INSTALL_PREFIX`` path.
-#
-# The variables ``<var1>`` to ``<varN>`` given as ``PATH_VARS`` are the
-# variables which contain install destinations. For each of them the macro will
-# create a helper variable ``PACKAGE_<var...>``. These helper variables must be
-# used in the ``FooConfig.cmake.in`` file for setting the installed location.
-# They are calculated by ``configure_package_config_file`` so that they are
-# always relative to the installed location of the package. This works both for
-# relative and also for absolute locations. For absolute locations it works
-# only if the absolute location is a subdirectory of ``INSTALL_PREFIX``.
-#
-# If the ``INSTALL_PREFIX`` argument is passed, this is used as base path to
-# calculate all the relative paths. The ``<path>`` argument must be an absolute
-# path. If this argument is not passed, the :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`
-# variable will be used instead. The default value is good when generating a
-# FooConfig.cmake file to use your package from the install tree. When
-# generating a FooConfig.cmake file to use your package from the build tree this
-# option should be used.
-#
-# By default ``configure_package_config_file`` also generates two helper macros,
-# ``set_and_check()`` and ``check_required_components()`` into the
-# ``FooConfig.cmake`` file.
-#
-# ``set_and_check()`` should be used instead of the normal ``set()`` command for
-# setting directories and file locations. Additionally to setting the variable
-# it also checks that the referenced file or directory actually exists and fails
-# with a ``FATAL_ERROR`` otherwise. This makes sure that the created
-# ``FooConfig.cmake`` file does not contain wrong references.
-# When using the ``NO_SET_AND_CHECK_MACRO``, this macro is not generated
-# into the ``FooConfig.cmake`` file.
-#
-# ``check_required_components(<PackageName>)`` should be called at the end of
-# the ``FooConfig.cmake`` file. This macro checks whether all requested,
-# non-optional components have been found, and if this is not the case, sets
-# the ``Foo_FOUND`` variable to ``FALSE``, so that the package is considered to
-# be not found. It does that by testing the ``Foo_<Component>_FOUND``
-# variables for all requested required components. This macro should be
-# called even if the package doesn't provide any components to make sure
-# users are not specifying components erroneously. When using the
-# ``NO_CHECK_REQUIRED_COMPONENTS_MACRO`` option, this macro is not generated
-# into the ``FooConfig.cmake`` file.
-#
-# For an example see below the documentation for
-# :command:`write_basic_package_version_file()`.
-#
-# Generating a Package Version File
-# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-#
-# .. command:: write_basic_package_version_file
-#
-# Create a version file for a project::
-#
-# write_basic_package_version_file(<filename>
-# [VERSION <major.minor.patch>]
-# COMPATIBILITY <AnyNewerVersion|SameMajorVersion|SameMinorVersion|ExactVersion> )
-#
-#
-# Writes a file for use as ``<PackageName>ConfigVersion.cmake`` file to
-# ``<filename>``. See the documentation of :command:`find_package()` for
-# details on this.
-#
-# ``<filename>`` is the output filename, it should be in the build tree.
-# ``<major.minor.patch>`` is the version number of the project to be installed.
-#
-# If no ``VERSION`` is given, the :variable:`PROJECT_VERSION` variable is used.
-# If this hasn't been set, it errors out.
-#
-# The ``COMPATIBILITY`` mode ``AnyNewerVersion`` means that the installed
-# package version will be considered compatible if it is newer or exactly the
-# same as the requested version. This mode should be used for packages which
-# are fully backward compatible, also across major versions.
-# If ``SameMajorVersion`` is used instead, then the behaviour differs from
-# ``AnyNewerVersion`` in that the major version number must be the same as
-# requested, e.g. version 2.0 will not be considered compatible if 1.0 is
-# requested. This mode should be used for packages which guarantee backward
-# compatibility within the same major version.
-# If ``SameMinorVersion`` is used, the behaviour is the same as
-# ``SameMajorVersion``, but both major and minor version must be the same as
-# requested, e.g version 0.2 will not be compatible if 0.1 is requested.
-# If ``ExactVersion`` is used, then the package is only considered compatible if
-# the requested version matches exactly its own version number (not considering
-# the tweak version). For example, version 1.2.3 of a package is only
-# considered compatible to requested version 1.2.3. This mode is for packages
-# without compatibility guarantees.
-# If your project has more elaborated version matching rules, you will need to
-# write your own custom ``ConfigVersion.cmake`` file instead of using this
-# macro.
-#
-# Internally, this macro executes :command:`configure_file()` to create the
-# resulting version file. Depending on the ``COMPATIBILITY``, the corresponding
-# ``BasicConfigVersion-<COMPATIBILITY>.cmake.in`` file is used.
-# Please note that these files are internal to CMake and you should not call
-# :command:`configure_file()` on them yourself, but they can be used as starting
-# point to create more sophisticted custom ``ConfigVersion.cmake`` files.
-#
-# Example Generating Package Files
-# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-#
-# Example using both :command:`configure_package_config_file` and
-# ``write_basic_package_version_file()``:
