[Solved] How to make a cmake-file for SDL2_gfx

[hansmicheelsen]

I am currently looking into using lib64sdl2_gfx for a project where I use CMake. The problem now is the sdl2_gfx-devel does not contain a sdl2_gfx-config.cmake ot be used by find_package(). The issue has been adressed in https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32960
I have contacted the maintainer of sdl2_gfx who would love to include the file needed if can tell him how to construct sdl2_gfx-config.cmake from his Makefile. I have found instructions on how to do it from a CMake-project. But sdl2_gfx is not a CMake project. It is a Makefile project.
Do anyone here know how to do?

Well you're basically asking for advice how to migrate a project using old autoconf to Cmake (please keep in mind that Cmake is also only a means to create a Makefile which can be processed by automake).
Although I'd say this is not required at all, you can simply rely on pkg-config which can be called from your Cmake project
See e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/291 ... from-cmake and https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/mod ... onfig.html

Apart from that there's https://cmake.org/cmake/help/book/maste ... s-to-cmake

Thank you Doktor5000. That will certainly help me further. Maybe I should offer to port gfx to CMake.
I'll make as solved.
