Description Dawid Wróbel 2021-08-27 13:27:59 UTC

SUMMARY
I was working on a patch for kcoreaddons that would add support for static builds: 
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kcoreaddons/-/merge_requests/129#note_294344

For some reason, while find_package(Inotify) returns true, the corresponding find_dependency(Inotify) returns false. 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Apply the patch from the PR mentioned above (not that it only applies to static builds, so feel free to remove the condition)
2. Build under Linux and then try to consume the lib from another project 


OBSERVED RESULT
find_dependency(Inotify) fails, despite find_package(Inotify) having returned true. Replacing find_dependency() with find_package() in Config.cmake file also works.

EXPECTED RESULT
find_dependency() should return True.

It was simply sorted by moving the find_dependency() further up in the Config.cmake.in, right after the include(CMakeFindDependencyMacro) call.
