cmake-init-fetchcontent reviews and mentions

• CMake 3.24 has support for dependency providers
  3 projects | /r/cpp | 9 Aug 2022

  You can see that in action here: https://github.com/friendlyanon/cmake-init-fetchcontent This example has the idiomatic find_package(headeronly REQUIRED) call in the CMakeLists.txt, but when configuring ${sourceDir}/cmake/find is added to CMAKE_MODULE_PATH, so the FetchContent code is run to "find" the dependency. There are comments to further explain this.

  Please consider using https://github.com/friendlyanon/cmake-init before this has any significant amount of users. There is an example that shows you how to still rely on FetchContent as an opt-in.

  Are they only on git(hub)? You can write a vcpkg overlay port (example) or use FetchContent if the projects are FetchContent ready in a way that doesn't force FetchContent on people trying to build the project (example).

• cmake-init - The missing CMake project initializer, now with Conan and vcpkg templates!

  This came up somewhere else, but I created an example repo that idiomatically uses find_package and an opt-in find module to FetchContent a dependency from GitHub: https://github.com/friendlyanon/cmake-init-fetchcontent
