main ← feature/refactry-beman-install-module

opened 11:34AM - 16 Feb 26 UTC

beman_install_library ===================== Installs a library (or set of ta…rgets) along with headers, C++ modules, and optional CMake package configuration files. Usage: ------ ``` beman_install_library(<name> TARGETS <target1> [<target2> ...] [DEPENDENCIES <dependency1> [<dependency2> ...]] [NAMESPACE <namespace>] [EXPORT_NAME <export-name>] [DESTINATION <install-prefix>] [VERSION_SUFFIX] ) ``` Arguments: ---------- name Logical package name (e.g. "beman.utility"). Used to derive config file names and cache variable prefixes. TARGETS (required) List of CMake targets to install. DEPENDENCIES (optional) Semicolon-separated list, one dependency per entry. Each entry is a valid find_dependency() argument list. Note: you must use the bracket form for quoting if not only a package name is used! ``` "[===[beman.inplace_vector 1.0.0]===] [===[beman.scope 0.0.1 EXACT]===] fmt" ``` NAMESPACE (optional) Namespace for exported targets. Defaults to "beman::". EXPORT_NAME (optional) Name of the CMake export set. Defaults to "<name>-targets". DESTINATION (optional) The install destination for CXX_MODULES. Defaults to ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR}/cmake/${name}/modules. VERSION_SUFFIX (optional) option to enable the versioning of install destinations Brief ----- This function installs the specified project TARGETS and its FILE_SET HEADERS to the default CMAKE install destination. It also handles the installation of the CMake config package files if needed. If the given targets has FILE_SET CXX_MODULE, it will also installed to the given DESTINATION Cache variables: ---------------- BEMAN_INSTALL_CONFIG_FILE_PACKAGES List of package names for which config files should be installed. <PREFIX>_INSTALL_CONFIG_FILE_PACKAGE Per-package override to enable/disable config file installation. <PREFIX> is the uppercased package name with dots replaced by underscores. Caveats ------- **Only one `FILE_SET CXX_MODULES` is yet supported to install with this function!** **Only header files contained in a `PUBLIC FILE_SET TYPE HEADERS` will be install with this function!**

We need this to start working and installing of Beman libraries as a CXX_MODULE
