Hi,
a package that I maintain is switching from automake to cmake. I had to
patch CMakeLists.txt a bit to make it compile on Debian, upstream used hand written code to detect the Cairo and Pixman libraries, which does not work
for me, and I am not experienced enough with cmake to patch this code).
I have replaced that with cmake files, for example as is used in fontforge or freerdp2.
I wonder what is the correct (Debian) way to include external cmake files,
from what I see in other packages, using
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=FindCairo.cmake
these files seems to be provided by upstream and they seem to be using a variety of different versions (functional mostly identical?). I would place the cmake files into a cmake or debian/cmake directory. Does it matter
which one I use (license? support for non-Linux systems?)?
Shouldn't there be a debian package that provides external cmake files for packagers, or maybe include them in the lib-dev package that it is used for
(if they are not provided by cmake itself)?
thanks,
Christian
