package-example
Example project demonstrating CMake's find_package config mode for building and consuming libraries with different build types.
What is package-example?
Package Example is a demonstration project that shows how to properly use CMake's `find_package` command in config mode. It provides working examples of creating installable libraries with Debug and Release variants, generating CMake package configuration files, and consuming those libraries in downstream projects. The project solves the problem of understanding how to structure CMake projects for proper package distribution and consumption.
CMake users and C++ developers who need to create reusable libraries or consume third-party libraries with proper build variant support. This is particularly useful for developers working on multi-configuration build systems or distributing libraries to other teams.
Developers choose this project because it provides clear, working examples of complex CMake package management concepts that are often poorly documented. It demonstrates best practices for handling build variants, version compatibility, and package discovery in real-world scenarios.
