The bundled Find* modules are great, but once you go beyond what's included you often run into problems.
In converting a recent project to CMake (so as to use CLion), I encountered all of the following:
- find_package modules that didn't support REQUIRED or VERSION options
- Lack of standardization on whether find_package variables include recursive dependencies
- Some modules supply imported targets, some don't - requires different consumption
The fact is, I can't simply rely on find_package doing what I expect - I have to read each and every Find*.cmake I use.
On top of that, there's a bunch of conflicting information out there - should your source list include header files? Some older blog posts suggest it's necessary for dependency calculation, newer ones don't seem to mention it; I honestly have no idea what the right answer is.
