[Plplot-devel] Problems using the plplot cmake config file

[Orion P. <or...@co...>]

It appears that due to the way the plplot cmake config file is currently
constructed, in order to do a:

find_package(plplot)

You must have *every* built component installed or you get errors like:

CMake Error at /usr/lib64/cmake/plplot/export_plplot.cmake:163 (message):
  The imported target "plplot_octave" references the file

     "/usr/lib64/octave/site/oct/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/plplot_octave.oct"

  but this file does not exist.  Possible reasons include:


And similar for:
     "/usr/lib64/libplplotada.so.2.0.0"
     "/usr/lib64/lua/5.3/plplot/plplotluac.so"
     "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/plplot_pyqt4.so"
     "/usr/lib64/libplf95demolib.a"


For Fedora packaging we like to be able to split up packages based on
dependencies so that people don't have to install components and dependencies
that they don't need.

I understand that the find_package config interface can take a COMPONENTS
argument.  I don't know anything about how that is implemented, but perhaps
that could be used to allow this?

Thanks.
