+ \qmltype Exporter.cmake
+ \inqmlmodule QbsModules
+ \since Qbs 2.3
+
+ \brief Provides support for generating \CMAKE packages from dynamic, static and header library
+ products.
+
+ The Exporter.cmake module contains the properties and rules to create a \CMAKE config
+ \l{https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.29/manual/cmake-packages.7.html#config-file-packages}{files}
+ from the \l Export item of a \l Product.
+
+ For instance, suppose you are creating a library. To allow exporting to \CMAKE, you would write
+ something like the following:
+ \code
+ DynamicLibrary {
+ name: "mylibrary"
+ qbs.installPrefix: "/opt/mylibrary"
+ Depends { name: "Exporter.cmake" }
+ Exporter.cmake.packageName: "MyLibrary"
+ property string headersInstallDir: "include"
+ // ...
+ Group {
+ name: "API headers"
+ files: ["mylib.h"]
+ qbs.install: true
+ qbs.installDir: headersInstallDir
+ }
+ Group {
+ fileTagsFilter: ["Exporter.cmake.package"]
+ qbs.installDir: "lib/cmake/MyLibrary"
+ }
+ Export {
+ Depends { name: "cpp" }
+ cpp.includePaths: FileInfo.joinPaths(
+ exportingProduct.qbs.installRoot,
+ exportingProduct.qbs.installPrefix,
+ exportingProduct.headersInstallDir)
+ }
+ }
+ \endcode
+ To build against this library, from within your \CMAKE project, you simply
+ use \l{https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.29/command/find_package.html}{find_package}:
+ \code
+ find_package(MyLibrary PATHS REQUIRED)
+ add_executable(Consumer main.cpp)
+ target_link_libraries(Consumer MyLibrary)
+ \endcode
