Usage of find_package

  • Always specify a version. find_package(dependecy X.Y.Z REQUIRED)

  • Specify the version used for development

  • The version doesn’t guarantee that in the future the build still works with this version.

  • The version does not necessarily say the previous versions will not work.

  • The version is just an indicator for later issue or bug tracking, to say: “It was developed with this version and it worked”.

  • Usually we always build against the latest available version of our dependencies, so we only can guarantee that the latest upstream version will work.
