How to manage a pure source package with cmake?
I want to manage my own packages with cmake to solve the dependence, and I don't want to write absolute paths in my project files. I need some function like find_package, but I don't want to link pre-compiled targets. Instead, I want to compile my packages when it is used. I want to know the best practice.
I tried find_package. In my package-config.cmake, I tried imported library with interface, and an error occurs on link process. It seems that interface only works on the head only library (without cpp file). And I tried imported library with static, but it seems that static need a pre-compiled lib.
In one word, I just want to solve the dependence (get the path and maybe set the package compile options), but I don't want to write absolute paths in my project files.
I use cmake on windows with MSVC and on WSL with gcc.
