How to make a Qt library correctly for find_package

Navadvipa Chandra das

Hello, All!

I made the NNPrabhupada library in QtCreator. He created me CMakeLists.txt I edited it to suit my needs. When compiling, I successfully get in the directory:

D:\CopperSpicePrg\NNPrabhupada\build\Desktop-Debug

NNPrabhupada.dll
NNPrabhupada.exp
NNPrabhupada.ilk
NNPrabhupada.lib
NNPrabhupada.pdb

and also a bunch of other directories and files.

But now the command (if you add it to the assembly):

ninja -v install

does not work.

Then I made a second library, NNPrabhupadaDB.
I want to register in the file CMakeLists.txt the command

find_package( NNPrabhupada REQUIRED )

But it doesn't work.

And the link ends in failure.

NNPrabhupada:
https://github.com/Navadvipa-Chandra-das/NNPrabhupada

NNPrabhupadaDB:
https://github.com/Navadvipa-Chandra-das/NNPrabhupadaDB

It should be noted here that the source texts of these libraries are stored elsewhere, namely in my fork of CopperSpice.:

https://github.com/Navadvipa-Chandra-das/copperspice

In the files CMakeLists.txt I'm defining a special variable.

set( CopperSpiceSrc_DIR ../../CopperSpice/Source/src )

and there are no problems.

Please help me make the correct files. CMakeLists.txt for the NNPrabhupada and NNPrabhupadaDB libraries

With regards, Navadvipa Chandra das.

This is not a Qt question. It's solely CMake related.

Either you make a sub-project / target, so you can use the "app" and the "library" both under the same CMake project
or
you need to create a CMake package from your library.

In this regard, see the CMake documentation on how to configure packages
