TTKBaseConfig.cmake contain boost absolute path about ttk

[julien-tierny]

hi michal,

Is it possible to change it for a variable ${BOOST_HOME}, then when we used FindPackage(TTKBase), it would then ask us for TTKBASE_DIR and BOOST_HOME

can you provide an example showing how to implement that in cmake? (as a reminder, these files are generated automatically upon the install calls lines 141 of core/base/CMakeLists.txt and 72 of core/vtk/CMakeLists.txt) @Twinklebear: any suggestion? cheers, -- Dr Julien Tierny CNRS Researcher Sorbonne Universite http://lip6.fr/Julien.Tierny

I think it should be possible to update the cmake config files to search for the dependencies when you include TTK, based on this mailing list thread. Then we can provide an input CMake config template that searches for the various dependencies when you import TTK so @mv740 's use case would work (as long as the Boost it finds is still compatible w/ the built one).

Or maybe by exposing boost as an imported target, though both of these cases I haven't done previously.

hi there, @Twinklebear's PR #171 should have fixed that for boost. I'll go ahead and close this one. please feel free to re-open if needed. cheers, -- Dr Julien Tierny CNRS Researcher Sorbonne Universite http://lip6.fr/Julien.Tierny
